We filming
So I just asked my wife when are you coming back?
I'm thinking of doing a video of pouring the alcohol down the drain. It would be fun if you made an appearance.
Oh don't do that.
Maybe I should just do it.
I hope she doesn't freak out. She could.
She might come back, roll her eyes and go back upstairs, but she married an extreme guy.
What should you expect.
Ok guys. So we're gonna go for it.
A couple of Saturday nights ago I had a rough night. And did something that I will regret.
I didn't cheat on my wife or anything like that but it's something that I will regret.
It wasn't even too many glasses. That's the thing. It was like 3 glasses of wine.
I wasn't loaded, but I was not in control. And something happened that I'm not proud of.
And I just said, FU*K the alcohol.
Every single time something happens, that I regret that I do stupid, and I'm like what the hell is going on, it's almost always with alcohol.
And as you guys know I grew up in a Christian home too, so alcohol wasn't around.
I wouldn't say I have a problem with it, I enjoy it socially
if you guys watch my Snapchat or my Instastories, if you're watching over the past year, I'm always drinking wine.
I do it inside the house, when I go out for dinners, it's typically celebratory,
But don't get me wrong, there's also many times I've traveled with the guys and we do shots and we go nuts and we crazy.
This wasn't one of those nights.
You know whatever voices I was listening to, we'll say, it's OK.
I'm in control. I'm in control. And, it won't happen again.
You know, and we never really do anything different until it's too late.
Can you relate? Do you have something in your life?
So anyways, um so what I'm gonna do here, I'm just gonna pour all this alcohol down the drain.
I don't know why it's here. I don't know why it needs to be here.
I know my wife's not gonna approve because we thought it looks nice. Hey it looks nice. It looks nice but like I don't need it.
And why tempt myself. Right.
I hear so many times in the fitness industry where people you know say "I want to do this", but the they set themselves up for failure.
I want to get in shape, but then they bring home all this junk food.
I hear guys in their personal life, you know, I wanna quit porn
But they're not putting on, what do you call them, protectors
you can go to settings and you can actually put in a password that prevents adult content from going on your phone.
You can do that with your computer too.
So when people say, I wanna quit, I wanna quit, I'm like... well.. then quit. Prove it. Don't tell me. And then they don't.
So It's like.. so you're full of shit.
And I'm kind of feeling like that about myself.
I'm like, you wanna quit alcohol but you're still going to the bars?
How's that helping? You know what I'm saying? Where's the accountability?
How are you going to get a different result by not doing anything different.
And you know, that's what this who channel is about.
Promoting change.
I know you guys just wanna see me pour all this alcohol down the drain. And I promise. I will.
Um, but, talk is cheap
You know. Sometimes to take extreme measures in your life, you gotta take extreme action.
Maybe that's not always the solution, but sometimes it's the appropriate solution.
Sometimes we gotta go cold turkey.
And you know, for me. I'm just not gonna drink alcohol for 60 days.
I know that's like oooh wow.. big deal.
But for me, I just kind of want to regain control.
I want to be able to think.
I want to be able to start going back into these settings and start experiencing being in these environments without it, you know and relying on it as a crutch.
And oh it loosens you up and there's nothing wrong with that and I'm not judging. This isn't a moral video.
But sometimes, that's when you act your worse
That's when things slip out.
That's when you start acting out of character.
Alright.. so why set yourself up for failure?
Why not change your environment?
Let's do it.
I know it's like in the middle of the day but you just wanna validate that this is actually alcohol and not orange juice and um...
Yuck. You can smell it.
Too bad there's no apps on these cameras yet. You know, we need apps where people can smell.
Apple... when are you gonna come out with an app that allows people to smell.
(voice in background.. yeah, that's alcohol)
Alright, this is Sambuca.
You guys, anyone who'se watched my Snapchat knows that this one's gonna be a tough one because this like.. man... my fingers .. my hands are all sticky.
This is a full one. Full. This isn't even open.
Limoncello, right from Italy.
Here's one. This one's full. Look at this. Full bottle of Vodka.
Glenmorangie. I know some of my Scotch buddies are gonna be like... Vinny what are you doing!
Again. There's nothing wrong with alcohol.
You guys have all heard the saying "The devil is in the dose" and I'm a big believer in that.
But there's also another saying.
Moderation kills.
Right. Sometimes moderation just sneaks up on you before you know it something happens, it's too late and you're like I thought I was in control.
Alright. So that's kind of why I think this all has to go in the sink.
Alright. These ones, this one, oh my goodness, and I know my Italian friends are shaking their head right now But that's OK.
This decision is for me and these are the decisions you know in life you have to make for yourself.
Anyways, if you guys wanna join me on the 60-days no booze challenge by all means let me know in the comment section below.
Maybe I'll do a video down the road and just kind of let you guys know how things went
and if I notice anything different,
but for me, I don't want to set myself up in a state that could potentially lead to what I experienced a few Saturday nights ago which I never want to experience again.
Alright. Let's just put it that way.
Alright. Something happened that I just don't want to repeat, I don't want to be under the influence, it's just not worth it.
I'll put it as simple as that. It's not worth it.
You know. It takes a split second for something bad to happen that you regret for the rest of your life.
It's just not worth it. Alright.
So if you agree, thumbs up. Right.
Okay. I'm just gonna do it.
Oh man.
This is accountability.
This is how you change guys.
Making yourself uncomfortable.
Like right now I'm just kind of starting to think like I could right now just say "Drew let's not use this video."
And this is how you're gonna feel when you need to make that decision yourself.
When you need to make that change you are gonna feel a fight, you will feel resistance,
you will feel a voice inside your head, the devil, whatever you wanna call it,
is gonna be saying That's extreme
You don't need to do that. You've got this under control. You're fine. You're fine.
You're over reacting Vince. Vince your over reacting. You're fine Vince."
The other voice is actually reminding me of what happened.
"Don't get drunk on wine because you're fulfilled by the Holy Spirit. You know it's that voice that I know I can. There's something greater there for me."
Alright. Sometimes you just gotta make these decisions even though they're uncomfortable.
Alright. It's when you make decisions that are uncomfortable that eventually lead to real change.
If you stay in your rocking chair your entire life, you're never gonna change.
Sometimes you have to do things that hurt.
In 60 days from now, or a week or two from now, knowing myself like I change.
I go in extremes.
My wife just texted me Vince you're always doing extremes. Why?
That's an issue I've gotta work through but for me, it feels like the right decision
and like yeah, what if in a week from now am I getting really tempted.
Well of course I'm gonna get tempted. That's why there's resistance right now.
The temptations don't go away guys.
The question is isn't can you change, the question is will you change.
Everybody says Can I Change? Can I Change?
Of course you can change. That's not the right question. The question is will you.
Will you change.
One.
Can't even open this one.
They're pretty much the same
I'm pouring them up here for dramatic effect but now they're splashing me so
This is from Italy. All the way from Italy.
So. Man, this is actually starting to smell.
Oh my gosh. It's like syrup.
So again. I wanna ensure you guys understand that I'm not saying that alcohol causes bad decisions.
But it can definitely put you into a state that promotes bad decisions.
And if you're trying to make a change in life why play with fire.
So I'm just getting a quick clip here for Instagram here too.
If you guys don't follow me on Instagram, that's another slot you guys can follow me.
For everyone on Instagram, this will be a video in the near future.
This is very expensive by the way. I think this stuff is like the best Rum from Barbados.
So this is the rum.
There goes the rum.
This, unopened as you can see. Unopened. You hear that crack.
And I probably could've brought it back to the LCD and got my money back but ...
Oh my gosh. This is going to take forever.
Holy Cow.
What is going on here.
Slowly coming out.
Every last drop.
Sometimes to make change in your life it's got to hurt.
You got to feel it.
You know.
If change was easy, we'd all do it.
I know I'm gonna hear it from a lot of my family members
Like Vince you're so extreme. Why do you have to do this.
Man you're going to be drinking in a few months like you know
Why are you doing this to yourself.
It think that's it guys.
That's fine and you guys will deal with that.
You'll deal with that from other people in your life when you try to make a change in your life
Your friends are going to say... "What are you doing man? C'mon, can't you be like normal"? It's not that big of a deal"...
And THAT's the line.
THAT'S the line.
Alright. This is the last one.
White rum from Barbados
See ya.
All gone.
And that's it guys
so if you guys wanna join me on a 60 day no alcohol challenge for whatever reason you feel you need to accept this challenge for,
let me ensure you that you're not alone.
Alright. A lot of guys, they want to get away from this but they're like yeah, it's too extreme.
what are my friends gonna think, I don't have a problem.
You're making excuses.
Again, some of you guys, maybe this, you wouldn't even be watching this video right now if maybe this wasn't on your heart.
It it extreme? Yes it's extreme.
But I want to make an extreme difference in my life.
Alright. I don't even know how I feel about what I just did.
I don't know if I'm gonna regret this or what.
If I'm just gonna set myself up for embarrassment
I have no idea what I just did to be honest.
I know that I wanted to do this, but I'm just gonna wrap up now because now I'm starting to think a too much, but
Let's just wrap it up there guys.
Um, thank you so much for watching this video, and share with a friend who wants to join the 60-day no alcohol challenge.
I will update you guys on how things go and again, this isn't a challenge for alcoholics.
This is just a challenge for people who want to eliminate booze from their life and see the difference.
and want to kind of regain some control, and want to stop putting themselves in situations that they might not have control of.
Be sure to share this video, comment below if you enjoyed it and if you haven't subscribed to the channel yet, please do that. I'll talk to you guys soon.
