31 days Sober! Determined to make it through the year and my fiancée decided to go sober to support me. Super thankful for this community!🙏🏼
Stay strong! 38 days sober here
Sober TEAM LETS GOOOOOOO!!!!!
Stay strong! It get so much easier each day, im already on day 285 only 80 days from a full year, it is so exiting ☺️❤️
@@GettingSoberAgain Gotta make that a t-shirt!🥳
@@Bellan8845 Thats really good to hear and congratulations on your upcoming year! 🥇
Day 38! Rough patches come and go but im still going strong. Thanks Jae and everyone for the support!
Come and go indeed!! We got this!
Went sober on 22nd Feb 23, so I'm coming up on a year. It got easier and easier to say no, and then suddenly, I just had no taste for booze anymore.
The second day off of cigarettes. Missed reaching for them in the car , but no more.
Thanks, Jae.You are an inspiration to me .
The best part about quitting one thing, is know HOW to quit. you already have the tools, and also, our videos apply to any addiction, just replace the word alcohol with _________ 🤓
“The only way out is through,” and it’s so much better on the other side. I’m past half a year now, 190 days. I’m keeping my sobriety at the top of my pyramid every single day, which allows everything else fall into place under that. Life isn’t always easy, but it’s so much better sober. Get sober, stay sober, live sober. 💪🏻💖 Thank you, Jae.
"everything else falls into place" 👏👏👏 #wise
This one hit hard!!! My sober streak is 112 days.
A real slapper!!!
Thank you for this video!! Need this kick in the butt today 💪
9 days sober!! this year will be the differents i just know it . Thank you for the motivation
THATS WHAT WE DO! 9 DAYS LETS GOOOOO!!!!
Yo homie I'm Day 9 too ❤😊
Hang in there. You can do it!
It will happen!! 14 days sober today!
YOURE DOING IT!!!!! LETS GOOOOOO!!!!
Damn. You're good. I'm a recovering alcoholic (many, many wasted years). I'm sending this video to a friend of mine in an attempt to help her. I couldn't even begin to say it better than you did in this video. Kudos. I thank God for my recovery. Literally. I never would have guessed I was capable at the time. Now it's been many years. You can do it!
LETS DO IT TOGETHER!!!! keep us updated on your friend! We are all just a helping hand away from being lead in the right direction 🫱🤝🫲
My story: I was a binge drinker for 50 years. How did I stop drinking so easily? I skipped the counseling and anonymous platitudes. I went to my doctor. He gave me a choice of two remedies. The monthly injection of Vivitrol or the daily 50mg tablet of naltrexone. I took the tablets for 30 days to detox and almost immediately lost the cravings for beer. Losing the cravings was as easy and taking Motrin for muscle aches. Mark me safe from alcohol.
Day 66. Been a rollercoaster!
The best part of rollercoasters is not hurling or losing your shit 😂
That is so amazing I want to get sober so badly I'm so scared of the withdrawal
@@angelahasting-mathis4483 day 222. Trajectory is definitely upwards. Speak to your doctor about meds for withdrawal. May not be needed but best to check. How much you drinking?
I'm at day 1 again. I'm tired of not living up to the person I want to be.
Gotta keep trying my friend! 10 day ones. 100 day ones. 1000 days ones if neccesary. We will get there.
It doesn't matter how many day ones you have, you're always welcome back here with open arms!
Now let's get you into double digits!!!
Congrats on embracing sobriety. Keep up the good work
Always remember, the people that are sober the rest of their life Didn't Stop trying to quit. 1 day, 1 hour at a time sometimes. You've got this
@@fortheloveofyoganidra Thank you for the kind words. Gonna go for day 2 tomorrow.
Hi Jae n Sam and everyone!! I’m currently on day 30! 🥳 no alcohol no smoking !
1 MONTH SOBER AND A BIRTHDAY RECENTLY WOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!! 👏👏👏🥳🥳🥳🎂🎂🎂
@@GettingSoberAgain hell yeah! Going strong… have had moments … but quickly change thoughts keep going!
Congrats on thirty days of sobriety. Keep up the good work.
@@gwillis01 thank you so much!! 😊
It will happen... I'm 12 days sober today. I'm already starting to see the benefits, my blood pressure has come down to normal levels, the withdrawal symptoms (which was hell initially) are slowly fading, and my sleep is improving (but not perfect). Once again, I wanted to thank you Jae for making another inspirational banger.
On another note, I'm not sure if you've already made a video on this topic. But I wanted to know your thoughts on how medication and natural remedies can help people get sober. Personally, I started taking Gabapentin (off-label use for Alcoholism and Anxiety), this med has helped me tremendously with controlling cravings. Also, I take Naltrexone as a precaution, in case I do relapse (God forbid), it makes drinking completely unenjoyable and prevents me from overdrinking. Lastly, I replaced my evening drinking habit with brewing a strong mug of chamomile tea and it helps me relax, it gives me a similar feeling to drinking a beer. - V
However you get sober is however you get sober! Just make sure that whatever you are attributing to YOUR success, doesn't hold the KEY to your success.
You are the magic ingredient ✨
Congratulations on your sobriety, I have 28 days for the first time. I also had 4 years of experience with Gabapentin and I would encourage you to do more research on that drug. I had to go to an emergency room in a Mexican hospital once and they called it a bad drug. I was given a 2 week step down prescription to get off of it (sorry don't remember the drugs I was given) and went through withdrawal symptoms from Gabapentin that were far worse than withdrawal from alcohol, even after decades of drinking. I like to take every opportunity to help keep people from having to go through that hell. Anyway, again congratulations on getting sober!
@@user-eb4ds9ln7f Thank you! And I'm sorry you had such a bad experience with the medication, I will say it definitely has its risks and it's not for everyone. I was told by my doctor that you aren't supposed to take Gabapentin for a long time, it's just for the detox period and then you are supposed to slowly taper off of it. * Disclaimer I'm not a medical professional, just sharing my experience, results may vary.*
Look into amino acid therapy Fit Recovery you tube has lots of videos on it
im almost a week in again i wont give up
NO TURNING BACK! Your future is up ahead!
10 days sober and counting. It will happen!
You have a lot of friends in the 10 day sober club!!! KEEP THE STREAK ALIVE!
keep up the good work. Marshall. Keep it going
Brother! This is got to be on the top five sobriety videos I have watched on any TH-cam channel! Very, very, very encouraging and motivating!!
REALLY????? LETS GOOOOOOO!!!!!!
I'm happy I was able to put this together to be so effective. I'm in the middle of moving cross country and trying to get as much content done before I'm offline for a few weeks.
Stay in touch!
Great video Jae! Day 377 here. As usual, you are right on! Uncover, discover and discard past trauma events and process feelings. That is still really new to me after being the poster child feelings-wise of Pink Floyd's song Comfortably Numb.
The anthems of our youth had a way of hypnotizing us didn't they? Be careful what your eyes and EARS consume too!
89 days. These mental battles with myself have been tough, but I'd rather do it this way than to drown myself and pretend that they don't exist
Day 2. This was perfect timing, as I was just thinking about drinking and having that battle of yes and no in my head, and you brought me back and reminded me of my 'why's'.
Thank you so much for what you do💜
Days 3 and 4 were probably my hardest but I'm on day 38. Stay strong and I'm sure you'll conquer every day as well! Best of luck to you
LETS GOOOOOOOO!!!!? MIDWEEK CRISIS AVERTED!!!
Keep on striving to improve yourself fredfred
Hang in there I am day two also and thinking the same as you until I watched this video
Congratulations on embracing sobriety Keep striving to improve yourself @@conniefossum8540
Strong and wise message this morning Jae. Very inspiring. Day 15 sober. Longest I’ve managed post-COVID. Sobriety is a journey that’s for sure. I’m so grateful to God for your channel. 😊🙏🏼🇦🇺
Good morning!!! Happy Day 15!! Another one in the history books ☀️
Congrats!!! This is so amazing!
Closing in on 90. 101 will be my longest period sober in over 40 years.
NEW RECORD HERE WE COME!!!!!!!!! 🥳🥳🥳
Thank you. I drank this evening but at least your video stopped me from going to the store to buy more. Just gonna let these beers wear off and go to bed early. Keep it up! I'm gonna get this sooner or later and your channel is a good motivator.
Now THATS how to look for the silver lining!!! 😉
I'm here with you. Had a couple glasses of wine but at least it's not excessive. Going to drink some more water now!
135 days sober and counting... I must say it has been easy for me. Four months later, with the support and love of my A.A. grioup and, of course, this online comunnity, I don't feel any urge to drink alcohol. Life is better sober. As we say in A.A.: Only for 24 hours, one day at a time!
Thanks Jae and all of you. I wish you the best in this happy travel we are starting.
Happy Travels to all and to all a SOBER NIGHT! 🥰
Thank you for this video! Aiming for dry January and beyond. You speak truth! I had a friend invite me to drink tonight, it was a no go for me, she suggest i drink coffee or tea. Right now i dont even want to be around it and waste time id rather be at the gym. Yesterday, bored at home on a day off i wanted to drink...out of boredom, what a dumb reason to drink, i did not. 10 days in and feeling so much better about myself and my life.
That's exactly the discipline it takes to WIN!
It will happen! Back to ground zero again, not beating myself up at all, because I am making progress.
Just got through day 2, sobriety Boogaloo.
And now it's time for the second night of sleep sleep 😴
"Sometimes you have to burn it all down to build it back up the right way" ❤ that
💅Sometimes I wish my remedial English teacher can see me meow 😺
The last time I said no was the last time!!! The 100 no method helped me a lot too. Thanks for another awesome video Jae!
NO, thank you 😉
Keep up the good work Sam

It will happen!!!
IT WILL HAPPEN!!!!;
Another wonderfully supportive video...thanks, Jae and friends! I've been watching for some time now and appreciate your approach to sobriety. 625 consecutive days alcohol free and counting. I feel great and getting excited to celebrate two years sober in April! Anyone just starting out: it's tough for the first few weeks but gets easier as your sober days stack up. Less worry and anxiety, better sleep and greater self-esteem. You've got this! ❤👏
Of course I remember you 🥰
Almost 4 months sober now. My 1st ever holidays sober since I started drinking. Let's go💪
LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
Hey Jae, thanks for another great video! Today is Day 10 for me and am already feeling some of the benefits. I am already sleeping better, feeling more motivated and just generally feeling really good about this long overdue chapter in my life. I have drank for 21 out of the 42 years of my life so far and the last few have been more heavily than I care to admit. Thanks to prayer, your inspiring and informative videos, as well as always keeping busy, I have been getting through one day at a time. This really is an awesome community you have built here sir, thank you from the bottom of my heart!
Isn't it nice to feel proud of yourself? 🫂
10 days sober. Your videos and Allen Carr's book Quit Drinking Without Willpower have helped.
I dont know how many days I am but it feels great not getting sick and craving that use poison.
Sober as of Dec 30th - I didn't want to wait till the 1st 😊
Bonus sober days alright!!!!
All the things you've said. "Are you through" was when it finally hit me. I've tried in the past but always used words like "I THINK I'm done" or "I'll give it a go" now... the only sentence I use is "I'm done" afyer 16 years lost. I'm done. Day 9 today
You talk very well Jay. And yes, you do inspire me to keep going on my journey to sobriety.
I'm 4 days sober so far. This is the longest I've gone in 7 1/2 years since my drinking became a problem! I'm slowly on the mend, but I'm feeling good so far! I had my first hard turd in God knows how long haha
Keep on striving to improve yourself PhantomCookie87.
@@gwillis01 thank you! I'm on day 6 of being sober and will never look back!
Keep up the good work @@PhantomCookie87
IT will happen,it is happening...2 years and 3months sober...can relate to and confirm most of the things Jay said here on this channel...blessed for this kinda content...helped me a lot...thanks for your service man...the best thing I could do for me and the people around me was unplugging the booze chord...almost killed me, destroyed everything...never going back again...best wishes to all that struggle...keep strong ,you can do it, but beware of alcohol deception powers...those fckers are a force to reckon with!
2 years and 3 months, what a STREAK!!! 👏👏👏👍
10 days no 🍺🔨.....very much enjoy this channel.....ya'll keep up the good work⚫️⚫️⚫️
10 DAYS LETS G⚪⚪⚪!!!
Day 11. Most ever. Husband on board also.
I’ve been on the sobriety search very deeply recently and found your videos . Motivated me In a ridiculous way, taking your tips , applying them . I’ve got as far as telling my family, friends , coworkers etc.. talked to a doctor (not necessarily by choice, I had an ear infection, then an anxiety attack in the doctors office )
But regardless made it too the point where I’m getting help, and support . And I just have to say, this video motivated me more than anything . As I’m trying to wing off , I’m down to only 4 drinks today, and I’m already feeling way better and motivated to get completely sober .. thank you for everything your doing , this video really hit home . Thank you !
Great video! loved it! 13 months sober, solo por hoy!
One day at a time 🫱🤝🫲
Congrats on your long sober streak. Keep up the good work.
thanks amigo! @@gwillis01
Day two again!! Determined to push through. I know it will happen. Last year did six months. Thankyou and love and respect you Jae❤❤
We are all imperfect. Congrats on trying again. Keep working on improving yourself.
🥰🥰🥰
When I decided to go sober, I left many things behind, one being friends who only was there to put the poison down with, since, I have replaced those friends by you, you are now my daily friend and you helped me so much so far. ❤️
Totally! Heard a Tim McGraw song that I forgot but like again: The next 30 years. Lyrics include: Going to have some salads and not so many beers. I will remember my next 30 years...
Good stuff. 👍
Ok Tim McGraw cole slaw! HEALTHY LIVIN IN THE COUNTRY LETS GOOOOO!!!
Been tryin to work up the courage to do the one less a day I actually got sick and went a few days without now I'm doing the one less a day than you for that idea it has really givin me some hope!
7 days. I believe it will happen!
Great video Jae, I am 75 days sober, not a drop of any alcohol, its a struggle at times but inspiring to watch this channel and read the comments, my daily source of positivity.
Daily binging good vibes!!! 🫂
The guru strikes gold again! Thanks Jae. Still going strong since Dec 2nd. Feeling great.
Cravings are gone.
I’m learning harmonica.

Day 10! Needed to hear this…going through hell without my vices…woof lol. Here I go.
Hell is a temporary distraction from the Heaven that is in you 😇
Not drinking or drugging is the most important thing I do everyday 💯❤️
It will Happen!!! Let’s Goooo!!!🙏🏼💯🙌🏼💪🏼
I'm tired of fighting. But I'm willing to lose to win. Wish it was luck but damnit Lets face it. It is bare knuckle hard work.
I can relate on how much it costs to get drunk.
Have you seen these prices lately???? Thanks inflation 🤷
@@GettingSoberAgain I'm mostly a closet drinker and drink at home, but when I do go out I drink tap beer.
It will happen. I appreciate this content so much! Thank you.
IT WILL HAPPEN!!! You're welcome 😁
I thought I was doing so well, then the Noto earthquake struck and all the aftershocks. I thought I was ok, but I relapsed.
What did you learn from your sobriety detour? There is always something to learn, or life will keep happening to you instead of for you 🤓
It will happen!! Day 28 alcohol free. Thank you for this video. ❤
Congrats on your long sober streak. Keep up the good work.
I’m becoming addicted to sweets. 6 months sober
35 days no alcohol and it feels amazing to “feel” myself again. Your videos are so inspiring and informative. Thank you for your hard work!❤
Yes I'm making progress
On day 11, not too bad now after sleeping really bad. Love watching your videos . Keeps me going !! Thanks
congrats on eleven days of sobriety. Keep on going and improving
I’ve quite so many times. I always go back. But never had my health deteriorating. Yellowing eyes, terrible bowels, foggy, tremors. I need to stay sober. The thought of never having a drink, but the thought of never having a hangover, and feeling the ways I was for months, I can absolutely commit to that. My prayers are with everyone struggling with addiction, and all their loved ones. Sending much love out there.
138 days today! Every day is easier to say no to alcohol. I still lose my keys. 😂
have you ever played the game called: "where should they be?"
the first logical place that comes to mind, is where your brain thinks they Should Be.
put it there. never anywhere else. be on your same team 🫂
I found your videos by accident, and I'm glad that I did. Two months 100% sober now. I had, for the past six months, cut back to just the weekends. But, it was always way too much. It's amazing how much things have changed for the better in such a short time
No accident. We belong here. This is part of our journey, and we are happy to have more great company!
What improvements have you noticed in your 2 months?
@@GettingSoberAgain My head is much clearer, my workouts have improved dramatically, no more weird aches in my sides, I've lost weight, better digestion. I could go on. I've tried before, but this time, I have not left the door open to try 'drinking responsibly' in the future. That door is shut. I don't want to be overconfident, but I feel so much more optimistic this time
120 days sober. I'm a New person, Life is important to me. I'm working on my relationships with my family all the time. I'm training in Stocks, Options and Financial planning. I'm closer to God than ever in my life.
It's very Hard sometimes, but I'm finding I can overcome challenges instead of hiding from them. Peace
I failed at Dry January.. but I've definitely cut way back on alcohol since doing sober October last yr. I do animal rescue, things are so difficult.. but glad at least to not be drinking daily.
Small change adds up!
Congrats on being sober curious. Keep striving to improve yourself
@@gwillis01 thank you so much! 😀
Always glad to lend an encouraging word @@stepha3003
Thanks again Jae😊
This is a fantastic channel! Not only do you talk about substance use problems/disorders but you actually talk about the “why”. “Ripping off the bandaid “. Ouch! A terrible, abusive, marriage, and lengthy divorce and the grief will absolutely do it to you! I love how you talk about getting through hell. No doubt. Spot on!
I’m a new sub. Not sure how I got here but looking for “self help” worked! Thank you! 🙏
I got my mug J I'm so stoked. I'm 102 days sober now didn't ever think it was possible. Thank you my brother 🙏
yoooooooo !!!! what's the first thing that went in it???
Congrats on your long sobriety streak.
@@GettingSoberAgain I have my coffee every morning in it, sometimes 2 coffees.
@gwillis01 thank you friend
One month today and I am feeling good. Lots of memories that I "forgot" are coming back and I have to process them now but that is ok. My goal is sober and free. Free of the past and living in the present.
That's the thing about alcohol... It's a pause button for self growth and discovery. Keep up the great work!

First!!

Officially one week sober. These videos are soooo helpful in my recovery. I go to AA as well. Just taking it one day at a time. Even a week in good things are happening.
I am making progress by practicing the beautiful guidance I find in the videos. I'm not a sober success story but I am thankful that watching these videos is helping me drink less and less. 👍
That's the goal: More better decisions than worse decisions today vs yesterday.
Small change adds up to BIG results!
The encouragement I receive to embrace sobriety from viewing these informational videos is life changing. I am grateful! @@GettingSoberAgain
Went 6 months sober 3 times, relabsed each time after i startet to feel good and had to start from the bottom of the mountain every time, startet 2 weeks ago again, i hope this time i understand that i don't have the brain chemistry that any other normal person have, the moment i take a drink thats it all i wanna do... easy 2 bottles of booze alone at home in front of the pc
Yep, when we drink, we DRINK. When we play with fire, we burn. When we don't pay our bills, we end up homeless.
You are the gatekeeper. You are both the prisoner and the warden to your personal hell.
You get to decide when you let yourself out.
It will happen!!
IT WILL HAPPEN!
Currently 3 days sober. Took a detour over the holidays, but I'm back and more prepared than ever. This will happen! ❤
I am so happy to hear this, get back to it, you can do this. Holidays are a hard time for everyone.
@@jeffreyjohnmann thanks for the encouragement 😊❤️
Day 1. I know I'm better without it. No more excuses.
I was really struggling today, 70 days. This video really helped me get out of my funk.
Another funk bites the dust!
And IT Will Happen!!!
Good words! couldn't have said it better myself 😁
hello Jae
Im through. Tired of it all. But Im struggling with quitting. I feel so stuck and lost. I lost my job a few months ago and haven't been able to find work. The stress and worry just fuels the drinking and depression, digging me into a deeper hole. Its been getting worse and worse. I need to just push through the difficulty.
I get the stuck and lost sentiment. I got laid off from a really good job on January 2nd and then my husband of two and a half years died of a sudden heart attack last week on January 6th. He was 52 and has a 16 year old daughter that lives with me from a previous marriage... So I NEED to get sober for her. Not trying to tell "war stories" but I just have a lot of regrets..my husband and I had talked about going completely sober before he passed and I wonder if he would still be here if we had.
I so feel stuck with the booze but i live a really healthy life. I am up early doing meditation, Qi Gong, walking my dog, I eat really well but I just love drinking. Then every few months I have a melt down cause i had that one too many. It sets me back on my journey. Everyone is going through stuff. It is the set back I am sick of
Day 8 for me. I was planning on buying alcohol today but will not after watching this video.
👏👏👏🙏🙏🙏🥳🥳🥳
I watched this twice because everything you said is well connected with me when I was drinking, I Benn through them all believe me! I know exactly how one feel in that state, 7 month sober now and I can't tell you how everything has changed(for the better off course) the benefits of not drinking are never-ending.
Well I'm all ears when you muster up the time to share your experience with us! Take the opportunity to inspire the community 🤓
It will happen!!!!
SAY IT LOUD!
Im almost 2 weeks in and its been easy so far this time. Ive not wanted it. Everything about life has been so much better for the most part! Ive been putting the money that i usually spend on alcohol back. Idk what im going to use it for yet. The beat part of sober is soending time with my daughter laughing, dancing and just having a blast. The down side is being sober is getting me back to me and idk how thats going to impact my marriage. I just know that no matter what happens im ready to face it. Im ready to live again!
2 weeks is awesome! Keep it going, life is better without alcohol!
IT WiLL happen!!
Ty!!
🙏🙏✌️✌️
Approaching my 60 days. Omg, I almost can’t believe where I was then vs. now. Anyone out there can improve their lives with some help from this channel and some good ole fashion gumption. These vids have helped me with my sobriety and will help you as well with an open mind. 🎉
Congrats on sixty days of sobriety. Keep up the good work.
🥰🥰🥰🙏🙏🙏🥳🥳🥳 YOU'RE DOING IT!!!!
Great speech! Thank you! :)
Happy to help!
IT WILL HAPPEN
YOU SAID IT!
... 6 mos this time. I am 63 and I have had as much as 5 years. Dot, Dot, Dot has been true and a struggle but I hope I am sober for good now. I lost my brother Tuesday, he was 54. My sister passed many years ago due to drugs and alcohol, in her 30s. My functional alcoholic self raised her children as my own but wasn't the best dad, but I did it. Anyway, 6 mos next week. Thanks for this video.
37 days now and I truly already feel like an absolutely different person! First week was hell, and it hasn't always been easy, but, it was worth it! Gonna keep on going, 1 day at a time! Thanks for your videos man!
My pleasure fellow human!
Wow I’m exhausted from watching this video, what a lot of ground you cover Jae. Fortunately I can keep up with you, in 2 days I’ll be 11 months sober. I feel great and there are so many improvements in my life. Last night I had my daughter with her beau over for dinner. Both drank alcohol and my wife, normally very abstemious joined them, but I was able to look on tranquilly not feeling the slightest wish to imbibe. When they left I was able to give the beau a few bottles of beer that had recently been given to me for my birthday by an out of touch relative. I smile at the cupboard where the other drinks are still kept untouched. I’ve come a long way in those 11 months. Freedom is such a fabulous feeling I will work to ensure I keep it. I want to thank you for all your encouragement Jae and in my turn encourage others looking to change their relationship with alcohol. If you’re thinking about leaving alcohol out of your life, it’s hard but so worthwhile. I’m an atheist and I believe we humans have to help each other. It would be wonderful if there were an all powerful dad you could turn to, to get you out of trouble but I don’t believe there is. You’ve got to put in the work and pull your head out of “alcohol is my friend” zone, and realise the damage it’s doing. When you’ve done that you’ve got to keep on keeping on. Best of luck brothers and sisters. ❤❤❤
Thank God for giving me the strength, focus, and courage and dedication to make sobriety content for all people! Amen

IT WILL HAPPEN!! 11 days sober now. It does not seem much, but in the end it will all be worth it! I already feel way better after only 11 days ! :D
