- no combination of words could be used to express how thankful I am to have 79 days sober today (march 20th). the clarity, healing, and peace I've experienced have been so fulfilling, much more fulfilling than the emptiness alcohol left me with. thank you for tuning into my video, I hope it's able to help at least one person.

So proud of you! I’m 23 and two years sober. It’s the hardest and best decision anyone could ever make. The blessings you’ll receive on this journey will be immeasurable and now you can finally be unapologetically you. You have a real and powerful purpose here, thank you for sharing and being vulnerable. ❤️
When you were talking about letting your sister down, I think that this is the reality of addiction; It messes with your brain/empathy, so that the only time you're able to actually stop is for YOU. The way I choose to look at this though is to see the power you have within yourself to be good, which is incredible. All us addicts have been through something like this. It is horrible, but once you find this power it's an amazing first step! I hope you can heal and forgive yourself. Much love.
im 23 and have been sober since december. thank you so much for making this video and being open and vulnerable. i have been struggling with having people take me serious when i am saying i am sober for good and not just taking a "break". my alcohol abuse was enabling my own self sabotage and ended me in the ER after emotionally binge drinking alone. i'm so proud of you sharing your journey with us, it really helps me feel less alone
this came at the right time. two weekends in a row getting blacked out. the shame and embarrassment I felt after. I was sober once for 5months and I have forgotten how real that was for me because it was ME. sober. I am 23 so we are close in age. thank you
No one speaks about their early addiction. Thank you. I needed this.
Stay strong and stay sober 💗
i honestly relate to every fucking thing. i just lost my dad to an overdose in December. it’s been really killing me inside, ontop of everything else i already have going on. i love you & am so proud of you.
So proud of you! I was sober for 1.5 years. I know the struggle. Used to drink before work and during. I just loved not having anxiety
i’ve followed you for years and as weird as it sounds, i could tell you weren’t yourself for some time but i’m so happy to see you doing better 🦋 i’ve been sober since january 1st as well and i can relate to everything you said so much and it made me realize a lot of things about myself. if you need a sober friend to adventure with in north carolina let me know!

I’ve always been a silent viewer, thank you so much for this video & all of the others. It literally calms me down and makes me feel safe & ive been missing that feeling, I also isolate myself when I get stressed or when I’m dealing w something internally so I don’t talk to a lot of my friends or family members regularly and it just helps to know that there’s other solo females out there living & trying to make the most of their lives. I love u and ur soul thank you again
I’m so proud of your courage to stop drinking and also share your story. God is so so good. I needed to hear this today
God has nothing to do with her being sober. Don't discredit her.
I struggle with a different substance addiction, not alcohol, but addiction is addiction. This video resonates so heavily with me. What you said about hurting people around you and not caring really hit home with me.
woohoo soberiety is dope as fuck!! i can remember things, i don’t get hungover, i go to work and act as a functioning member of society. NA and AA saved me. so did rehab lmao
Proud of you!
Day 1 for me! 25 years old and I am so over it, I'm ready for a change
Oh no! I’m glad that you’ve taken the time for yourself, Liz! For whatever reason I never thought you struggled with something like this.
I’m 2:54 mins into this and i just want to give you the biggest hug. I’m so proud of you. I have been watching you since like 2017 or whenever you used to just do makeup tings. I absolutely love how open and honest you are with your following. Much love lizzy & more power to you🖤 i will now binge watch the next 5 videos
Very honest. I recognise a lot of that. Particularly those things you do that allow you to kid yourself you have control.
I quit drinking when I was probably 45. Better late than never! Saving money, better health, more well rested and less irresponsible; and then went whole food-plant based, also. Those two combined and my weight just dropped off. I did it to lower cholesterol which worked! It's been 7 years and I need to fix some things in my diet to have better LDL which went up since last year. It's not horrible LDL but it's not in the optimal range.
I can't believe how similar our stories are! I'm 6 years older than you and I'm so happy/impressed to hear you speak from a younger persons perspective because you're right, drinking is very normalized when you're young. Maybe If I had heard someone talk about this when I was your age it would't have taken me so long to get sober. Happy for you, rooting for you
Thank you so much for sharing your story. I have actually decided within the past few days to stop drinking so it's crazy that I'm seeing this video right now. It feels good to know that someone I "know" (I've been subscribed to your channel for a few years) understands an experience I've been through. I resonate with your experiences so much and see so much of my past in yours. I am so happy you have been able to make this difficult decision for yourself!!! It's truly incredible how possible it is to turn your life around. Here's to the mistakes we have made and the abundant future of clarity ahead of us
i love your whole soul. i’m struggling on the same path, thank you for your video. i feel less alone🤍

thank you for this vid. I used to watch you all the time and I've literally been really trying to find you again but I couldn't. I couldn't remember your damn name, and then this morning you finally showed up on my home page!!! missed ya. love u
OMG I am so glad I went back and found your videos and this is the first one I saw! Ive got 5 years in couple of weeks 😌 I loooooove seeing the real, when I first went to meetings it was a 'okay just for a little' but the incredible people who loved me in a way I had never seen helped me decide to stay. Now this does change overtime, but I've got some people I connected to who've got 15, 20, 30 years that I still have close to me to this day. The (false) sense of control I've learned is my root of unhappiness in many situations. So excited for you 💜
Theres' a song by Florence in the machine called grace - it's about how Florence hurt her little sister named Grace in addiction and it is beautiful. You are not alone babes 🖤
Judging by the comments this video helped a lot of people. Add me to the list. Thank you for posting this.
Funny seeing this video randomly, after blacking out Saturday. I had a problem with weekend binge drinking. Waking up on Sunday, I realized I had a problem that I couldn't fight alone. This Monday was my first time at AA. I felt strange and embarrassed. But it was good talking to others that have similar issues. It felt great. I'm done with alcohol. I wish you the best. You are strong. You got this.
I did the smoking thing after 5 PM. I ended up quitting that thank God, probably my the late 20s. On an antidepressant called effexor my desire to smoke went to nothing. I switched off effexor to an SSRI the the feeling addiction feeling came back.
I love you ❤
thank u for sharing
Hi im angel lovely jesus
Serious sounding video today
Do you know any online meetings
Are you still smoking 🍁? I need help quitting :( xx
I just threw out my bong and all my stuff and didn’t buy any more and the craving was super manageable- without putting yourself in situations where you can get stoned, it becomes easier! I smoked two times since then, but I’ve been almost 2 years weed sober now 🤗
❤️ ｐｒｏｍｏｓｍ
I'm glad u quit drinking moonshine
Proud of you
