Your channel really helped me at the start of my sobriety journey, and I'm now at 6months! I never thought I was gonna be able to make it. Yesterday I paddle on a lake at sunset and cried when I realized I had finally been successful at liberating myself from my addiction.

I wish that I could this "like" more than once! I just ran 4 miles while listening to it. Best dopamine replacement combo ever! Speaking about old habits. I realized the other day that I've been drinking on a consistent basis for over 30 years. 🤦‍♂️ I mean I worked hard at it. I mean so much that I turned my drinking into a profession.I actually opened a brewery to justify my drinking. That all came crashing down a little over a year ago and I took it as a sign that I was on the wrong path. I quit drinking for 4 months after that but unfortunately, I fell back into the habit last August. Some really rough days and months later I feel like I'm getting back on track. Working out and listening to motivational speeches is where it's at for me. Les Brown is THE MAN! Jae, you're not far behind. Thank you! 👏🙏

You're truly doing something amazing wow look at those subs! I was here when you had 200. Saturday night I went to the bar with some friends my husband was the sober driver. It was a really good time and experience. My tab was $50 but I don't think I'll be doing it again it got wild in there and so many lady's on the dance floor we couldn't even dance, I told my friends we might as well use my house I have a disco ball light and dance games and cheaper alcohol. I couldn't imagine going to a bar every night or even once a week. It's alot of wildness. I'm probably more of an occasional drinker like if something exciting is happening. Not an everyday. Like you said 2020 was crazy and I became used to drinking vodka every day I had off which is 3 days a week and one day I was like dude I need to get it together and your videos have always helped.

It's been about 3 1/2 weeks for me. That is alot as I was drinking around the clock for about 3+ years. I've gotten sober before for a year here and there but the difference this time is I developed jaundice and was hospitalized for 5 days. There is no doubt in my mind if I kept it up, I'd be dead by the end of the year. When sober before, I still put up with things I don't have to..... creating anxiety and stress. I'm noticing that certain people are supportive of me quitting, but still want me to tolerate intolerable behavior. I've had to start saying "No". That's where I'm at now...😊

@@GettingSoberAgainYour videos helped me a LOT. Especially in the early days. Thank you. I watch at least one sobriety video a day to 'remind' myself why I am doing this. That includes some pretty raw/scary ones that show real damage so I don't get complacent. The fact that the pain in my right side is subsiding also helps remind me that I am hopefully healing physically as well as mentally. Honestly I pray once a day for help to continue and I reward myself with little trinkets at milestones (month 1,2 3 lol). I figure I have saved £20*90days=£1,800 so far so why not lol. Got back into video games. Bought a Steam Deck with my savings. Try to avoid stress. Not easy but especially in the first week. It is more important that you get better than that form needs filling/email needs answering/whatever. If something is stressing you out then put it down/ go outside / walk away for a few minutes. Sleep as much as you can. It helps with mood. Sleep issues in the first few days are difficult but do not give in they DO subside quite quickly. Personally, I go and meet one set of friends who are not big drinkers once a week just to stay in touch. They understand because I told them and that helps keep me accountable. One of their brothers has alcohol issues so they understand. They may have a beer or 2. I have a Heineken Zero. I do that because I do not want to be frightened of going out sober. It is a bit like flooding for me. The more I do it and the less of a big deal I make of it, the less power it has. I did leave it about 3 weeks before doing that though. They understood. May not be for everybody. Thanks again. The urges get less and less frequent and more and more fleeting over time. You can do it. Oh and Coffee lol, Proper filter coffee in the morning and buckets of decaf during the day and eveing. Black with no sugar lol.

2 weeks today. Hopefully for good

You were on a watching spree yesterday huh?!

What was the weightloss like when you stopped drinking?

I was more likely to make healthy meals because I wasn't on the couch drinking. Also, more likely to be active the next day because I wasn't hungover. Both of these are likely to drop weight. Some initial sugar cravings early on probably delayed to weight loss.
