    73 days- yay!!! Just think, you have surpassed 2 months. You're on the right road. I have faith in you!!!! I've been sober for a long time. You'll find the longer you go, the less you'll crave it. For me personally, I couldn't function if I didn't have weed and weekends were rough if I had no booze. Then it became weekdays too. I was drunk all the time, high all the time. Anyone who says weed is not addictive is either ignorant or stupid. When you cannot accomplish anything in a day without first finding your drug of choice, it's an addiction. I'm very proud of you!!!! Before you know it, you'll be celebrating your first whole year!!! Keep up the great work!!! 🤗💙🤗💙🤗

I've been clean since october me and my fiancee both. this is the first time it's been MY choice to be clean. I've done it before but the other times wasn't by choice you know what I mean, prison and jail and a few other outside motives have got me clean. but anyhow I'm rambling but I'm glad I found your channel!!

    Congratulations to you and your fiance!! That's amazing & awesome!! Despite how it may seem that no one cares, even strangers on the internet can & do care! You both are very brave to have made the decision on your own, for yourselves, & you guys stuck with it. Even if you don't think it's a brave thing to do, it really is because clawing your way out of that cycle is extremely hard. I'm proud of you both, & truly wish you both all the best! Just yesterday my friend (who's going through addiction counseling/therapy) told me something that one of the counselors told her: "Being clean & sober is not supposed to make you feel miserable for the rest of your life. You'll still have ups & downs, but staying clean shouldn't be looked at like a life sentence of misery". It really struck a chord because I myself am battling an addiction, as well as having an alcoholic for a dad. I DO look at quitting as an endless future of nothing but pain & misery, but people like you give me hope. Your situation sounds like it was worse than mine, you overcame the addiction by choice, & so I should be able to crush the addiction too. Thank you for sharing, & I hope you continue to stay strong in your fight against the addiction. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

    I've never used drugs or had someone I love become addicted to them but I just wanted to say Tiffany that your love and encouragement to those that are in those situations is beautiful. My Mom was an alcoholic for most of my life and eventually got sober at 68. I wish she could have heard your message because it broke my heart to see how ashamed and worthless she felt. Maybe hearing it from someone who knew what it was like could have helped her. I'm so thankful she became sober for the last six years of her life. She was amazing and I miss her terribly. To those addicted, please don't ever think you are worthless because it's just not true. You matter and God loves you and has a plan for your life if you let him. If He can free my mom from 46 years of alcoholism, He can free you, too. Don't give up ❤

Liver and kidneys started failing due to alcoholism. It was a truly horrendous, slow way to see someone you love pass. She was 39 with four beautiful children. My heart hurts knowing she's not here. However, your videos always helped me feel like there was hope for her. Even though she's gone, I still feel the same hope when I watch your videos. You're helping people on many different facets of this journey. Thank you, thank you, sister.

    I’ve been clean 2 years this March. I was a marijuana user for over 25 years. It was hard because I had to end friendships with people who were also marijuana users in order to ensure my self promise of sobriety would stick. I didn’t go to treatment but I journaled a lot and read my bible whenever I felt the temptation to get high. I still don’t love myself but I do hate myself less than I used to.

You have no idea how much watching your videos and listening to you, has helped me understand SO MUCH …...there is no way I can put into words how much you have helped me. My depression was heavy. You've cleared some of the clouds and dragged me out of much depression, and terror I've had for years, far too many years...….My God honey, you are far beyond priceless.

She doesn’t like it but she explained to me that until she can get help and stay clean she will only take that money and use it for the drugs. She’s been to rehab several times and still it hasn’t worked for her. I hope that one day maybe she will be able to recover and live the rest of her life happy and clean. She is 42 and my heart breaks for her. But I still love her.

Speaking up could have put me in the psychiatric ward to be watched for 14 days, or many other scenarios in my head I was afraid of, but I'm glad I spoke up. He put me on new meds to address the problems that i tried to drink away (ocd, anxiety, depression) along with meds that knock the cravings for liquor out of your mind (for the most part. You still have to try) I am still working on myself but doing so much better. Thanks to you, I had that little extra push to speak up and ask for help.

I tried to help as best I could but could no longer live with it and the lies and cheating. Unfortunately, it took his life just three months after our divorce. I wish I could have done more. Some people lose hope and some people die. His parents never wanted to see his addiction, I believe because drinking and alcoholism us so prevelant in our society. I know of three other women my age in my small hometown that have all lost their husband to alcoholism in the past four years. I wish people would talk about the dangers of alcoholism like they do other drugs. Addiction is addiction.

    Tiffany, you are amazing! I don't think you really realize the true extent of just how many people you help. I've told so many people about you, & they already follow you! Thank you for sharing, well, everything! And I also agree that showing love & compassion towards an addict is much more effective than beating the person over the head with all that they've done wrong and/or ostracizing them completely. I watched a TED Talk in which the guy talked about that very same thing. He talked about a study that was done that concluded that addicts had a much higher chance of succeeding at getting clean when they were surrounded by love, compassion, & support. Tiffany, you inspire so many people with your honesty (and humor). Congrats on staying clean for 7 yrs, & thank you for sharing your journey with us!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

My brother was also an alcoholic and got sober for his daughter, and someone my husband loves is an addict. If i had not gotten sober i wouldnt have my beautiful baby girl and i wouldnt have had the best and scariest day of my life. I love listening to you talk about what you went through and reminding people that not all addicts are horrible people. You are an amazing woman and i thank you so much for putting such a positive message out in the world.

    Thank you for posting this. I literally needed it today. I love and addict and I'm doing everything i can to help and try not to enable. I made him sit and watch this with me. He wants help and i need him to help himself. I am giving him tools to find what he needs and it's now 90% up to him to move forward. I won't ever give up hope for him and i will be here for him always. If he can't try to start helping himself soon i know i will have to do it from a distance and even if that happens i can't hate him. Hate won't help. Love and compassion will

Even after six years it's still hard and I still have to work on it every day and your videos help so much especially when I'm so busy and I'm feeling down and I feel like I need to get to a meeting and I'm not able to make it I turn on one of your videos. I don't think you realize how much it helps people

    I had 99 days clean and relapsed. I now have 42 days. I live in a sober living house. I regret the recent relapse. But it was a learning experience. I've cut people out of my life who use and sell drugs. It's the most difficult thing I have ever done. Pay day is the worst. And I'm still learning to live life on life's terms. Most days I live hour by hour. Some days it's easier. Some seem impossible. But I keep doing what I have to do to stay sober. I say this a lot. God grant me the serenity to accept the things I can not change (other people), the courage to change the things I can (myself), and the wisdom to know the difference. It helps a lot. Congratulations on 7 years!!! That's amazing!!!😁😁😁

Addiction has been a part of my life as long as I can remember from family members addicted when I was a child to my adulthood and my own addiction. I've been in treatment and therapy for years and it is still right there waiting for me the minute I forget and think I'm finally not in danger of relapse BAM! I have to start over! But I still have hope! Watching this brought tears to my eyes thank you for your opinion and for getting the message out there life after active addiction can be fun! Lots of love from a fellow survivor I will keep fighting! Thank you!

    So grateful you're out here sharing your stories and support. I have family members who are currently facing addiction and my older brother passed away due to it when he was 22. Made my life change completely and I know it reframed my perspective on addiction. So many people feel too much shame to find the help they need and feel too alone in their battles. My brother told me he didn't feel strong enough to fight it even though he wanted nothing more than to stop. But it gives me hope seeing people like you out here sharing the truth on these things and advocating for those who might not be able to for themselves. Thank you!! ❤️❤️❤️ You are so amazing and so strong.

I wish I would've never had to start this, but it's the only way I can live life. My pain management doctor says that I'm not an addict. But, having a brother who is currently a heroin addict, the thought this could get out of my control. You are such an inspiration to so many. Thank you Girl!

    You are brilliant. Every single video I identify with... which lead me to seek help 3 years ago. Which helped me realize i was addicted to co dependent relationships thanks to a suggestion to a book that someone in your support group on facebook (Co Dependent No More, its on Amazon) shared with me. Which led to my divorce from an abusive relationship. Reading the comments from that group and other stories kept me strong. And now I have my masters degree and I moved up in my career thanks to that and now I just bought my dream house! 3 years my life changed for good! My therapist cleared me for dating and I have an amazing man by my side. Thank you. Also I wanted to add: Im now using Positive Discipline model to work with maintaining myself, my relationship, and my children healthy. Not perfect. Just healthy. I recommend it. Positive Discipline has been a tool that took away 80% of the anxiety I was experiencing with child rearing. Less snapping and more peace in the home. Since you saved my life with your videos. I wanted to share that for you and your kiddos. Because I know how hard it is with anxiety to raise children. Keep going strong. You are Perfect.
