I am on another trigger: spring break. Being an educator, Fridays were the days to settle down after taking care of other people's kids. So spring break was the be all end all of getting drunk. I am, however, at home, on a Friday night, watching your video with a bottle of Dad's root beer. Thank you again for the support. I'm finishing day 193 of sobriety.

I would like to sweetly remind you of an idea from one of your earlier videos. There are still a million things to do for fun after you get sober. The only two things you are missing out on are hangovers and drunk driving penalties. Ir is time to engage in the gentler, more subtle type of fun that sober people enjoy.

When I was drinking, the 2 days I stayed home were New Years Eve and St. Patrick's day. To many Sobriety check points. I called them rookie nights. 180 days sober, didn't even know it was drunk irish day...

Great episode. I like the focus early on about the journey to find oneself in sobriety. Oddly enough, in sobriety I became who I was at 8 years old--pure and kind. With alcohol I was funny, but dark and immensely self loathing. I guess I thought it was a fun, prolonged suicide. If one wants to know themselves, just remember your 8 year old heart (minus any fear from trauma), it will know how to connect with love. Strength lies there. Peace be with you all.

I appreciate your honesty and before you go out, mentally prime yourself with some go-to NA drink choices, maybe set a time limit on how long you will be out, and a couple of crafty reasons to leave early if you need to. I have an app on my phone called "Call Assistant" where I can program a spoof/fake call to ring my phone at a certain time (call now, call in 5 minutes, or a specific time). and it looks like I'm getting a real call from a person in my contacts. Then I just pickup and say "ok I'll be there in a few, I'm leaving now". and there ya go lol

Tough for me this weekend. And yes I do have 2 wedding coming up this summer for two of my really close friends 😓

Great video. You are clearly dedicated to this channel and work very hard and I appreciate it. I have gotten a response or two from you on a comment of mine in the past, and I appreciate that too. Funny you mention the feeling of doing all the right things and things still don't add up, because that's how I felt this morning. Been doing great on not drinking, had a great workout yesterday, got a great night's sleep, but woke up when my alarm went off asking "What's the point of getting up? What's my purpose? What's my raison d'etre?" and had trouble coming up with much other than money. But, like you said, it's a journey, a process and the path won't always be easy and the reasons won't always be clear, but one must believe there will be hope. Thanks so much for the work you do!

Make sure you really examine your beliefs about alcohol... I had to look at my thinking closely about booze, if you are still thinking alcohol is good for you in some way, or if you are "missing out" because you "can't" drink you will have a harder time leaving booze behind. If you feel like being alcohol-free is "boring" you won't want to stick with it. Maybe you need to give sobriety some healthy new friends, hobbies, or activities? That might help. If you sit around feeling sorry for yourself and like you are missing out because you "can't drink" this will be harder for you than it has to be. Please don't give up on yourself.

These videos always give me a little tid bit or reminder at the right time just like AA meetings keep it up Jae! To anyone who’s weary of this weekend I just encourage you to set boundaries, make rational decisions and don’t be afraid to be a little selfish when it comes to maintaining your sobriety because for many like myself you take that first drink all best are off. God bless you all an d stay strong!

Monday I will be putting a script together just to stay on track with what I want to talk about. For me the summertime will be the hardest since that's when I usually drank the most beers.

I’m at 199 days! This time of year is hard for me because this time last year my best friend went off the deep end into her own alcoholism. She’s still struggling and has major health problems at 30 years old. I’m happy to be here and happy to be sober, but I’ve had this intense anxiety that I can’t shake. I guess it’s trauma. I was also extremely hammered this time last year, because I was so distraught about my friend. It’s so odd to remember where I was then and where I am now. I suppose I have survivors’ guilt since I made it out and changed my life and she has not. 💔🖤

All journeys start with a single step! We have all had many day 1's, and I look forward to hearing from you on day 2, 3, 4, and 5 🥰

I find myself having to justify not drinking when I tell people that, only because I have an amazing memory for dates (all of my History teachers growing up would confirm), coupled with it being easy to type into Google "days since 6/4/2022," and so I usually know the "day count" I'm at. When I explain both of those to people they usually laugh and understand.

Awesome! Amazing! You are doing great. Please don't give up on yourself, you can reach that goal!

Skipped St. Paddy's Day this year ( I'd be craving an Irish coffee with whiskey). corned beef and cabbage I can make at home leaving out the Guiness) I am good with AF beers like O'Douls so could have that, But AF wines not so good. I mix white grape juice and diet gingerale to put in a wine glass. I smoked pot with that (it is legal now in CT) but it makes me cough so quit that expense. Got to keep working on replacing alcohol with better things in my life and stop looking for that buzz.

The real buzz is laying your head down at night knowing you did all that you could in a day. Accomplishment is the best sleeping pill 😴

It's all hard, but work on making sobriety a healthy habit and it becomes easy. Lookup how many musicians got sober. There's more than you might think.

I play in bands too, it was a challenge to stay away from booze at gigs and especially on tour when I was away from home and I felt like "no one will know if I drink" ... If you can get through the first few days you will be fine, be honest with your band and crew people, if they know you're not drinking it will really help. I was surprised how supportive people were to me when I "came out" as sober. Many people in the business have well-publicized drug/alcohol/addiction problems, so nobody will be shocked about the news you are trying to stop drinking.

56 days sober boys!

There is also the fear of people thinking I’m judging them for drinking.

Is there any evidence that you're judging other than in your own head?

@@GettingSoberAgain I was thinking of ultra that is a massive festival in Miami right now

Halloween through New Year’s is very triggering for me. I’m 64 years old and I still have people trying to push alcohol on me when I say I don’t drink.

Calm down…. You’re fine just the way you are….

I’m not brave. This is me reaching out for help.
