This course is saving my life not just physically, and I’m only at T9. I am looking at myself, my values, my purpose and my possibilities with a lot of hope. Thanks Kevin
This video cracked me up! Good job breaking down the absurdity of drinking alcohol that we have all bought into!
I agree with all the above comments. I don’t mean that as a cop-out rather what’s been said feels true to me as well except I have already stopped but glad I am going through the preparation period anyway. Kevin’s knowledgable laid back manner translates well.
Sometimes, agreeing with what others are saying is a big step forwards… I am glad you’re going through the prep stage. It makes sense to focus on the journey rather than the days.
I recently lost my husband of 34 years after a long difficult illness. I have slowly but consistently deteriorated In my drinking since his death as I miss his presence so acutely. But I can see how my Health and general integrity has declined as my alcohol use has accelerated including physical accidents such as falls, bruising etc as my body’s nervous system is deteriorating. I’ve had a devoted Iyengar yoga practice For nearly 10 years but my motivation has dropped off massively as my alcohol use has increased.
My problem right now is knowing I need to stop but my grief is so intense I find that because my nerves seem to be shattered by trauma and I can’t just stop. So IAS much as I want to move forward I find it hard just to get through 2 or 3 days.
I have a psychiatrist but the physical issues of withdrawal are so painful that it’s almost easier to keep drinking even though I know it’s destroying me.
So sorry to hear of your loss Sam. Grief and loss can seem unbearable. I lost my family last year and it is only now, over 12 months later that I realise that my alcohol consumption was increasing my depression and suffering. The immediate relief was what I needed. I know that you can do this. Take your time, be kind to yourself. I still feel very sad but am able to step ahead with some more meaningful purpose. I feel deeply for you.
Once you see alcohol for what it really is it and see it for what it really is the blinders are taken off and we can live free from the garbage, devastation, the trap that is alcohol. Grateful for this journey and for all on it with me!
Peace
I concur with all of you…Steve, Kay and bici…I feel very lucky to have come across Kevin’s videos by chance on YouTube and find they, in Kevin’s own inimitable style, keep me focussed and driven to move forward to a better me.
Hear hear Kay! The program is an immersive thing, but great style and I also enjoy the ‘presence’ of Kevin on the videos, and whilst he’s ‘rambling’ I make notes on my printed out pdf and muse on things and write stuff.
*others like me that* not ‘others like mat’
Hello Kevin,
I can’t thank you enough for your program, it’s honestly the only one regarding ‘stopping the drinking’ that I have connected with and viscerally wanted to participate in.
When I first started this Preparation period, I thought the twice-daily video messages would be overkill, boring and redundant…..but every single morning and every single night your video has been incredibly relevant, on point, sincere, helpful and like a lifeline arrow straight and true to my inner self. Your non-pressured, natural, factual, candid rambling comments just CONNECT with me somehow. Thank you so much for that! And also for the personal video greeting (!!!!) during the first week.
I know this is, after all, just a program that is working for me so far, but it’s due to YOUR humble and sincere desire to help me and others like mat sustains me here and pushes me up a little bit to feel like, yes……., this time I will leave the drink behind. You’ve helped me see beyond the alcohol -scarred curtain of the future. I will leave the drink behind at the 180, I KNOW it .
Most sincere thanks, Kevin
Kay
What Kay said! I second that. Thank you Kevin!
🙂
Thank you for another informative, thought provoking, inspiring, and supportive video! ❤️ So glad to be a member! Day 4…. heading to work with a clear head and more energy than usual… although, sleep schedule still recovering from years of abuse and neglect!
Thanks Kevin. These are brilliant and so thought provoking.
