When I watched your first Jaclyn’s journey video I was a bartender & dating my ex who worked night life with me. We were drinking 4-5 nights a week together. I remember watching your video & I was like “ I want that I want to be sober. I want to lose my alcohol weight”. NOW I’m 250+ days sober. My year without is February 12th. I can’t wait to make it a year. I’m literally completely different now. You inspired that! You helped me want that for myself. I love you for it. & I cope by ordering mock tails at the bar. My fave bar has root beer floats with the IBC bottle root beer & everyone always tells me I’m cute with my mock tails lol. Hehe everyone is so supportive once they realize you really wanna go without it. I love it!!! We got this. Sober baddies.
Wow this is incredible!!!! Congrats to you girly!! ❤
You are amazing and adorable!! Thank you for being here and watching my videos!! I’m so happy for you girl!!!!!!
This is amazing. You’re a miracle baby!!!!!!
Congrats !!!
Go girl!!🎉
What really stands out to me is Jordan being by your side, before, when you were depressed, when you were drinking, when you weren't your best self. He still loved you and stayed by your side and encouraged you. And now you have come out on the other side. Its really hard to find this in a partner, someone who will adapt to your changes, will help you go through depression. Please stay with him forever, make it work always.
I've been to treatment and it was not surprising to me how many people were going through a divorce or break up, myself included with my husband. It was almost everyone. My partner now met me at my worst and stuck by me until today where im in a better spot. It's hard to find but those people are out there. Happy for her itseems she found that
That’s called love! Stick with you through it all
… as she hoped for… well :/ rest easy
This.
This!
It’s cool to see a new wave of this sober appreciation. I’ve never drank in my life and was made fun of for yearsssss for it. Now that it’s “cool” to be sober for personal reasons and a clear mind and health, I don’t get made fun of anymore. But, I’m just glad people are experiencing how much better life is.
I am always made fun of for not drinking! Still am to this day
Same..people always thought I was weird cuz I didn’t drink
👏🏼
@@feliciacrumb2657 I’m so sorry. I know how hurtful that can feel. Sending you love. ❤️
I still get comments. I think I’m just kind of lucky because nothing I tried was even tolerable to my taste buds. It literally gagged me and/ or was so gross I couldn’t imagine taking another drink of whatever. I tried beer/ 🤢 tried various mixed drink 🤮 and shots 🤢🤮🤢🤮 Lordy some stuff went down and just came back up immediately. Then I married a man who became an alcoholic quickly and I saw what it does to people. Now 420 I did enjoy and justified it as everyone else drank so I’d smoke a doob with whomever: for me I just don’t want to pay money to feel like crap lol however I’m surrounded by addicts and I’ve now seen about everything just destroy people and their loved ones / life etc.
I’m 8 years sober and I promise you will never regret staying sober. I’m so proud of you, you got this babe!!!
That’s amazing! ❤️
2.5 here and same! You’ll NEVER regret it ❤
@@MonicaMettert hell yeah, congratulations!!
I'll have 3 years alcohol free in January of 2024 and it just gets better and better! I don't miss drinking at all! I actually despise alcohol now! Whenever I'm in the store and I see people buying alcohol I think to myself "Put that POISON DOWN! IT'S K*LLING YOU!" At the end of 2020 I was diagnosed with alcoholic fatty liver disease after a life long battle with alcoholism and I KNEW that if I didn't stop drinking that I was gonna D*E! AND SOONER THAN LATER! I'm so much more in tune with my body now and I've lost close to 50 pounds without even trying really hard since I put the bottle down!
@@hwoods-kg1jf you’re a superhero. Congratulations to you!!!!
I drink wine every single night. I always thought I never had a problem. I had a stroke scare, my blood pressure got up to 210/119. Yet I still kept drinking. Thats when I knew I had a problem. Your video is giving me the strength to realize, you know what, I can quit. My kids need me here alive and healthy. ❤
I think that’s the biggest thing. Believing that you can quit. It’s going to be hard but you CAN do it! I believe in you ❤
Yes you CAN!!! I was in the same boat as you. I was drinking every night. I didn’t get wasted- but I counted on that head change. I looked forward to it. Then out of nowhere I started having a soreness where my liver is- turns out I have fatty liver disease (likely caused by alcohol). I was not happy about it..but I said “ok today I’m not going to drink”. And the next day I said the same. And the next. I’m going on 4 months sober. The first week was ROUGH because I felt so bored..but In those moments I would try and go for a walk or even just go on tik tok. Anything to distract myself. With time it got easier and now I feel better than ever.
I just wanted to share with you because if I can do it, so can you!! Your kiddos need you! Alcohol is just a big lie..it’s a temporary relief. I believe in you and I’m already proud of you for thinking about making a change!
Milk thistle, berberine are great for liver detox and fatty liver. To the original commenter, look up supplements that help with stopping. There are a quite a few that help. Niacin, b3, b complex are a few. Also glutamine under tongue will make cravings go away almost immediately. Praying this helps. Can't wait for you to come back and update us!❤❤❤❤
During the pandemic I was drinking daily, not getting drunk just having a one or 2 drinks but i was doing it to cope with everything happening. I gained so much weight and one day I just decided to change up everything and I started eating better, working out, and completely stopped drinking alcohol. Its been almost 2 years and im happy with all the changes I have made. I lost the weight, gained muscle, im stronger now, and most important im happy with myself.
I'm an ICU RN and I've seen so many people die from alcohol. A lot of young people in their 30's, family had no idea it was that bad. This decision will save your life! Proud of you J!!
As a former party girl you realize the party doesn’t stop for some. I’ve known at least 3 people who have died in their 30’s from alcohol
What? How are they dying from alcohol? What are the symptoms that’s terrifying I’m 34 and I don’t want to die from alcohol! I’m at the point I don’t want it anymore
Omg can you please tell us how alcohol can kill you ?
Another RN here (Oncology specialty). Alcohol is an actual toxin and it is very heavy on your liver. One way someone can die from alcohol is cirrhosis which is liver failure. This alone is enough to harm somebody but it can then turn into liver cancer. Alcohol in general increases your risk to any cancer since it is a literal toxin. Somebody can develop pancreatic cancer, colon cancer, stomach cancer and even breast cancer. The unfortunate thing about cancer is if you do not find it soon enough it will spread and it spreads FAST.
Another way someone can die from alcohol is alcohol poisoning/overdose which is basically consuming too much in one sitting. Our liver and kidneys can only filter so much alcohol so when one pushes it to their body's max, organ failure will occur. This can happen even if someone has NO history of alcoholism.
Alcoholism is also linked to high blood pressure and obesity which can cause serious heart problems and even heart failure with enough time. @@DiamondeInTheRough
@theblackschaos liver cirrhosis. Look up pictures of people in end stage liver failure, it's awful. I work in Healthcare as well and have seen people in their thirties dying of this.
The way you were so emotional about how much fun you have had while not drinkinf is so pure. You should be SO proud of yourself!
I haven't drank alcohol in nearing seven months and it really is a game changer. The ultimate life hack. It is a lot of effort initially but eventually your desire for happiness outweighs the desire to drink, and then things just fall into place. I commend you, Jaclyn, and wish you the best. Life without a hangover is everything.
Congrats! It only gets better❤
I am an alcoholic and in the last year the longest I went without booze was 3 days........... You are inspiring me so much and I have been watching constant videos about quitting drinking. This is just another thing motivating me to start. I am truly going to try this again. So nice to have a relatable video like this.
You can do it! 🖤
You can do it!! I was an alcoholic at one point too, I promise it is possible!! You’ve got this!!
Hey girl! Jesus loves you and wants to help you quit! I 1000% believe you can with his help! Ask Jesus to come into your heart as your Lord and Savior, Read the Gospel of John, and pray and talk to God. You're worth saving and I know you're more than your addiction! He will renew you if you let him. ❤❤❤ praying for you!!!
Don’t give up the fight! You deserve happiness ♥️
Thank you guys for the support and kind words. I dumped out my box of wine tonight and cried. I can’t believe I cried over that. I can do this . I’ve been an alcoholic for about 6 years and lately this is the worst it’s been. I know I can do this I stopped cold Turkey when I got pregnant with my kids. I need to do this for my kids 🥺 I’ve hidden my addiction from everyone and still “function” fine. Sometimes you never know what secrets someone is holding in 😔
i’m 3 weeks sober this friday!! i’m just starting my personal journey once again, i went through this 3 years ago. i don’t feel alone thanks to this video. 💗
This is so inspiring. I have wanted to quit drinking for 30 days so today marks the start of my 30 days. 90 days is the next goal after I achieve 30. Go Jaclyn!!
Me too!! Lets do it!!
You’ve got this ❤
Hows it going so far? I'm on day 3 now!
Day 5 now?! Keep it up ❤
Day 1 today! I can't wait to see all of the amazing changes❤
53 days till 1 year of sobriety! What started out as "I just hate hangovers" has led to almost a year of clarity and true understanding of what life really is about! There is no way to know yourself when you constantly mask it with a veil of alcohol. SOBRIETY SISTERS UNITE!!!🤗
And I’m here 53 days sober 😅 just figuring things out, but so happy to be here!
November 10th marks 15 years of sobriety from alcohol for me, and I cannot say enough how much better EVERYTHING has been, since I got alcohol out of my life. Christmas Eve will be 15 years of sobriety for my husband too. There is nothing better than being sober, clear-minded and fully experiencing life together. Neither of us will ever go back.
That’s awesome! Congratulations!!
@@gwen08gard Thank you so incredibly much! 🥰
@@GlamburgerGlam you’re welcome! Let me tell you something, it’s hard coming back from addiction. It’s in my family, it hit me & my brother, but I REALLY dropped to my knees when my own son became an alcoholic. Now I’m proud to say, he’s a recovering alcoholic! 2 1/2 years. Me and my brother are good too! Keep on going! 😊
@@gwen08gard Praise God for that!!!! I am so incredibly happy for you, your brother and your son. As someone who comes from two sides of family where alcoholism runs rampant, and being a mom of 3 boys, I definitely pray that my boys will see the destruction in so many family members' lives due to alcohol, and will choose to stay far from that path.
@@GlamburgerGlam I will say a prayer for your family as well. I’m so happy to have chatted with you! You are a very nice person and I appreciate your kind comments. God Bless your family!!!
Currently 11 days sober after 3 years of consistent heaving drinking. Thank you for sharing your story, this is super motivational & I can’t wait to go along this journey with you!
I pray for you that you stay strong. My younger brother and older sister are alcoholics and he is to the point to where his brain is pretty wet and that’s very scary. It’s heartbreaking when you cannot help them. But, I will never give up.
you got this!!!!
cheers to you 🎉
So proud of you❤
Keep it up. And if you caved, it's OK. Start again!
I’ve been sober for 10 years and it’s honestly the best thing I ever did for myself. The peace that I’ve gained is such a good feeling.
I’ve been sober 9 years. Wasn’t an alcoholic but I got drugged by a guest at a house party I threw at my house and was raped in my backyard. My husband came looking for me and found me unconscious on the couch out back by the fire pit with a random man on top of me. My husband and three of his friends beat the living hell out of my unknown rapist. we didn’t know him or where he came from. Ever since then I have refused to drink because I refuse to ever ever be unaware of what goes on around me. I never wanted to be intoxicated again. 9 years later.
I’m 8 years sober and I promise you will never regret staying sober. I’m so proud of you, you got this babe!❤❤❤
My mother died from her alcoholism. It’s an awful thing to see.
I hope you continue to embrace your sobriety ❤
Wow. Painful also. Many people don’t realise about pancreatitis that comes with alcoholism
RIP😢
@@coolbeans9939 my mom used to always say “cool beans” lol
Mine too 🖤
@@jordanw6296 I’m sorry you had to go through it as well. It’s a long slow painful end to life. 😞
This is so special - I hope you cherish this video for a long time! Alcohol is such a poison, I stopped drinking after my kids and I ONLY drank occasionally. This was years ago before more people were going sober, and I felt like I had a problem every time I told someone I didn’t drink because of the judgment. It’s so amazing to me how acceptable drinking is, or how people push alcohol on others.
I am 2 months sober. My mom has been battling alcoholism and I decided to stop to support her as well. It has been amazing
Congrats🎉 your future self will thank you
As someone who quit drinking at 28 because I was over it and hate the culture. I SO AGREE. I’m so happy for you.
I really hope anyone will try being sober. It’s insane.

I saw my aunt become an alcoholic so I consciously made the decision to never be consistent or regular with drinking. I wanted to be able to enjoy it once in a while without ever having to quit. Her life is completely destroyed so I commend anyone who felt like they had to quit and committed to it
This gave me chills. This is the healthiest light I’ve seen you emulate in a long time. Congratulations Jaclyn, the amount of work mentally and physically you’ve put in truly shows ❤️❤️❤️
Jesus I felt like I was watching Jaclyn from eleven years ago with the energy and the beautiful white background but HAPPPPPY. I’m struggling with depression and rough health and even back then you cheered me up but now you are truly happy and that makes me really happy for you. Cheers with sugar and not alcohol!! Love you sweet girl!!
Omg I feel the same. I feel like the Jaclyn we fell in love with from back in the day before Jordan is finally back and I’ve missed her so much!
I am the daughter of two alcoholic parents. My mom died at age 49. She literally poisoned herself with alcohol. That was in 1985. My dad died in 2020 with a 35 year AA chip in his pocket and we shared an awesome relationship after he gave up alcohol. His life was so much better after he gained and maintained his sobriety. You're totally right. It is so worth it. I'm very proud of you and wish you all the best for your future. I look forward to your upcoming videos about the diet changes you made along with your exercise routine. Love and hugs to you!
Much love to you 💛 I’m a career bartender, and I can genuinely say that this is the year where I’ve seen the most colleagues/guests going on alcohol fasts. Also the mocktail/non-alcoholic trend is growing and will be the future, imo. Whenever I have a guest at my bar who is sober, I try to make their experience just as pleasurable as I would for those who order any regular cocktail. I’ve realized that social gatherings are more about a feeling (celebration, escape of reality, coping, chilling with homies) and alcohol has always been perceived as a vehicle to get there. The science is undeniable, overconsumption of alcohol is detrimental to one’s health. While I myself enjoy the taste of alcohol and have studied it for the past decade due to my job, I am currently sober and agree more people would be so much happier if they could at least take breaks from alcohol. Our current society is glamorizing the “wine moms” and the happy hours, and I wish we can just go back to valuing the company of the people we go out with (even if it’s just our own company). I can go in about this topic but I’ll leave it here- thanks for coming to my Ted talk 🤣 and congrats Jac!! ✨
Bitch you look so good! And I’m not saying that because you’re “skinnier” or “healthier.” I’m saying that because you’re glowing, seem happier, and you’re growing into a better era of life. Plus you seem to have amazing support from your husband, which is SO beneficial when in a season of change or growth. ❤
Lmao
@@lolietchao4448 You must feel really bitter rn fronting with that lmao. Envy is bad for the liver.
I am also very happy for her, regarding her husband❤️and marriage. They look 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼together
I couldn’t put it into words but this hit the nail on the head!!
I stoped drinking in 12/22/22 because I hated how inflamed I was & my sleep was so bad. It's been almost a year & it's been the best decision of my life. I am so proud of everyone who's made the decision to stop. ❤️
12/16/22 was my last drink
I just knew that was going to be my last drink. It was giving me heart palpitations real bad and my blood pressure was skyrocketing. My resting heart rate was averaging 86-89 bpm 😬 and within 3 days without alcohol, it went to 59 bpm 😮
We’re almost at one year 🥳 - and no, I do not miss it at all!
Congrats to you for choosing your peace of mind and health!!
Did anyone else cry watching this? It’s so relatable and I am definitely in this place. I never thought I had a problem, but alcohol has always been so prevalent in my life for the past 20 years and I’ve gained so much weight, I’ve lost friends, I’ve embarrassed myself, the brain fog, the sleep deprivation, the lack of energy and the constant dread. I know it all too well. Your journey is so inspiring Jaclyn. I am so proud of you and thank you so much for sharing.
So happy for you! I grew up with an alcoholic/drug addict who didn’t become clean and sober until I was an adult. Remained that way for 23 years. What Jordan said was spot on…. You are still the same person, just not living with the shades pulled down. Your warmness, joy, fun, loving self has always been there, was just clouded by alcohol. You are helping so many people sharing your journey. Looking forward to the nutrition and exercise video 😊
You go girl! I am also only 3.5 months sober. My sleep is better, my anxiety is wayyy lower, I’m a whopping 35 pounds down without trying or dieting or exercising! Praise God for this deliverance! The inflammation in my face and body are also way down. This is a beautiful journey to be on and I’m so thankful to be 3.5 months in ❤
I can TELL it’s helping!!!! omg you’re so sharp girl. I don’t even know you but I’m SO proud of you. Thanks for the inspiration Jaclyn. It’s appreciated!
I have been feeling so heavy in my life. I drink wine every night and have been feeling so heavy. Depression, anxiety yadayada..
and I’ve been looking for a sign. This is my sign!!!!! Agh.. you’re a light. ❤️
Jaclyn if I may say you’ve always been a beautiful woman but goodness you are glowing now. I’ve been pretty much a silent follower for over 10 years and have seen you go through so many ups and downs and I can say truthfully I feel this is the best you’ve looked because you look so truly happy and healthy. I couldn’t be happier for you and happy for your future with Jordan. ❤
This is all bs. She's on mounjaro. It cuts your appetite down to 0 and you can't drink while on it bc it'll make you sick.
I feel like you are speaking for me. This is my exact journey and relationship with alcohol. I needed a sign to fully quit and this is it. Thank you so much for sharing your testimony, Jaclyn. I am SO, SO proud of you! 💕
I’m so convinced that Jordan is the best thing that’s ever happened to you. And I’m so proud of you. Here since 2014. I love you like a cousin or even a sister. Keep going. I’m always supporting you!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Aaaw babe! That is so sweet omg😊 thank you so much! I appreciate you!❤
As a woman that has never, ever drank alcohol, I find it interesting how people that drink find excuses and reasons to justify drinking. I have heard for my entire adult life how I don’t know how to have fun, I don’t relax and enjoy life. Drinkers don’t know to enjoy, relax and just have fun without the DRUG, bc that is what ALCOHOL is. A substance that alters your system and controls your emotions. Good for you Jaclyn. I hope you learn to live your life without being control by the substance. Maintaining your weight will be easier, and you will find out how beautiful life is without the Poison. 👍👏👍
Yesss !! We love to see it !!!👏🏻 We have seen the light come back in your eyes !! Im so happy that you are happy and in such a good place ! Love you girl ! Always have , through it all ! Much love 😘😘
@@lidiakuhn6505why did you feel the need to make this comment? you clearly don’t like jaclyn. but now you want to act like you support her?
You look soooo good! ❤ when you feel good, you look good!
I gave up drinking in April and felt so much better. I ended up getting pregnant in July after trying for two years and I really think it was a contributing factor. The best decision ever and I’m never going back to alcohol!
I was just about to say this!!! My husband and I were not necessarily trying but we were unprotected for 2.5 years and nothing every happened but after 3 months of not drinking I was pregnant! Since that last drink, I have drank once after giving birth because i felt like it was something all moms “look toward to” after being pregnant but I decided it drinking was just no longer for me. I only drink socially but I realize my relationship with drinking is still not healthy. There’s not 1-2 drinks for me. It’s all or nothing. So nothing it is! I also just need to be all “there” for my son now, I can’t afford for something to happen and I’m drunk and not in the right mind to get to him or take care of him.
I got pregnant with my son one month into my sobriety. Mine wasn't alcohol but I prayed for him for 15 years. Dr*gs and alcohol really do mess your body up
Respectfully alcohol doesn't keep you from getting pregnant, I know people who (unfortunately) continued drinking a few cups during pregnancy. So alcohol isn't the factor however, congrats on finally conceiving. Not against you but just putting my two cents in.
@@lauramalto obviously people can get pregnant while they drink alcohol but I don’t think it’s exactly a coincidence either
We were trying for almost 4 years, I got pregnant 2 months after I stopped drinking! That was in September 2021 and haven't had a drink since! ☺️❤
I’ve been sober for 1 year and 8 months so now I have lost about 6 pounds & it’s amazing how much it changes you’re health and diet & makes you feel so much better.
I’m ready for thanksgiving tutorials & christmas tutorials ! 🖤🖤🖤🖤
Sounds like you’ve been living as a functioning alcoholic for a long time. I’m happy you’re seeing life on the other side, now, and hope you always remember this feeling.
before i saw this video, i had already been planning to take November off from drinking. i’m only 22, but my body feels like i’m 60. i’m always anxious and sad and i feel so foggy minded. seeing your video has only proved to me that i can do it and that its truly meant for me. i want to go sober for at least this month. i feel the social stigma of “you’re young, everyone your age is drinking and partying, etc.” I just know that for me, I’m not okay with drinking every single night and feeling reliant on it. Thank you for putting this video out here. I’m proud of you, me, and everyone else!!
This is such a real issue in society and I’m so glad it has been addressed. You’ve truly inspired me.
Congrats!! I’m 2 years sober. Alcohol almost destroyed my life and I almost didn’t make it. I spent countless times in the hospital and a rehab. I almost lost everything. I turned my life around and I do NOT miss it. Even now I’ll have a bad day and crave it but they’re fewer and fewer.
🎉 congrats girl!! I am also 2 years sober and although I still struggle with my depression and anxiety at times, I will never ever go back to drinking
I have a similar relationship to alcohol and haven’t drank since June 3rd! Never been happier, my skin looks better, my IBS is controlled, I’m better at my job, I’m a better partner and a better mom. And without trying, I’m down 10lbs! Never looking back!!!
That’s awesome ❤❤❤
Proud of you Jaclyn! You sharing your journey is so inspiring 💙
Soooo happy for you girl I have been watching you for years I’m so happy for youuu ❤
15 months of no alcohol for me and I can confirm that EVERYTHING she says is sooo true!! It’s rough the first few weeks coping with everything but after that it is SO good!
I’m SOOO EMOTIONALLL
I met you a few months ago in Hyde park, it had to be right before you decided to make this change, and i was being a mess and for you at that time to still take the time to listen to me and give me hugs when you probably weren’t in a place to be “on” means SO much to me
I love that you talked about this and made this decision before your alcohol problem needed rehab, instead of saying you were fine until you were fully broken, and that’s a testament to the people around you too.
It’s not going to be right now (I’m not ready 😭 I think you probably know how that feels from this video) but I KNOW you will be the reason I break from alcohol soon. Whether or not my partner or friends want to do it with me. I’m gonna do it for me.
I really related with the way you talked about thinking all this emotion makes people exhausted to be around me or feel like they misunderstand me, but I think I use alcohol too much to stop thinking and stop feeling because I thought it made me a burden to feel too much. I don’t feel alone in that anymore, so thank you Jaclyn!!!
27 and struggling with alcohol abuse. When you shared about your divorce years ago, I was also going thru the same thing. Your videos helped me a lot. YOU ARE THE BEST.
I apologize for unfollowing you, for judging you, for giving up on you. This is the Jaclyn I fell in love with. The way you speak, your honesty feels so genuine. I’m so unbelievably happy for you and I’m so sorry.
Same. I’ve missed this Jaclyn.
SHE GOT YOU FOOLED THIS THE SAME JACLYN THAT SOLD US DIRTY LIPSTICK 💄 AND DIDNT WANT TO REFUND OUR MONEY AND TRIED TO LIE HER WAY OUT OF IT THAT WILL NEVER GO AWAY
@@saramcdonalds427 I hope you find peace and forgiveness in your heart for yourself. Your bitterness is misdirected and I get it. It’s better to hold a grudge than to look within and heal.
OMG bless your heart! You are soooo sweet I don’t even deserve it! Thank you!!❤❤❤
@nikkimerry7950 Omg girl you're so humble, you make me cry like a baby! 🥺😢😩😭❤🩹
Jaclyn, this is seriously beyond amazing. I can see the true glow in your eyes! There's so much healing emanating from you, and it's absolutely contagious. You are amazing!!! You did that, girl!
You don’t know how much this helps others (myself included) I started the same journey 3 weeks ago, some days are wayyyy harder than others..I have the same questions about myself like “will I still be fun to hang out with” . But to hear where you are 3 months in gives me excitement about myself at the 3 month mark. 🙏
i love the idea of a community sober challenge !! i’ve been sober curious for a while now but have a hard time keeping myself accountable and i think it would be super fun for whoever wants to try together!
As a bartender struggling rn… this video was very comforting. So again, thank you for sharing your real ass experience 💜💜💜
Feel your pain!! I was a career bartender and walked away from my job in December because there was NO WAY I was gonna be able to stop drinking while working behind a bar.
Maybe time for a job change .
It’s crazy how alcohol allows you to have fun and be “free” in the moment but once you’re back sober it can have such a negative impact mentally and physically.
And that fun and freedom only lasts a few hours until you wake up the next day far from free of a terrible hangover 😂
Me on a airplane rn regretting drinking for a concert last night 😭 I am doneeee
As a child of a recovering alcoholic. I’m proud of you.
Im so sorry you had to experience that. My aunt is an alcoholic and her daughter is 17. She didnt deserve to have an alcoholic mother and all the toxicity that came with it. Im happy for you that your mom is recovering so that you can know the real her
I cried to god yesterday after getting home drunk knowing this isn’t what I want thank you for this
@angelessophiamartinez you got this 💪🏼 I just said a prayer for you 🙏🏼
God hears are cries for help. Praying for you. You are not alone.
This is among your most inspiring videos, and it really seems like you're just headed for better and better. Giving up poison will only make your mind and body healthier. It really feels like your whole journey was leading up to this journey specifically. Congrats Jaclyn, keep at it, don't ever go back.
My sober date is February 9, 2021. Its almost been 3 years. You got this. ❤
My sober date is January 7,th 2021 so it's been almost 3 years for me too! I never in my wildest dreams thought I could ever give up drinking but at the end of 2020 I was diagnosed with alcoholic fatty liver disease and I KNEW if I didn't quit drinking, I WAS GONNA D*E AND SOONER THAN LATER! I live a life beyond my wildest dreams now and I don't miss drinking at all! I'm actually disgusted by alcohol now! Way to go on almost 3 years! #wedorecover
I’m 2 weeks sober and already feel 10x better 🎉 thank you for normalizing this and sharing your story. Definitely relate ❤
My husband will be 6 months sober tomorrow. And watching your video is making me realize how much work he has put in after 12 years of being drunk every single day and doing drugs. To being clean and sober I’m going to go give him a big hug and celebrate him for all his hard work. Thank you for sharing so I can appreciate all he is doing.
I think a lot more people are functioning alcoholics than they realise. The whole culture of social drinking is essentially alcoholism.
Amen to that.
This is very well said. So true.
this was a very raw and real side of you that i haven't seen in a very long time. i'm proud of you for sharing your struggles because that takes a lot of courage. good job on this journey Jaclyn. this type of content will resonate with many people.
Screaming with joy!! 9 months sober here and I've been saying the same EXACT thing. Life/The fun actually begins when you stop drinking. I have done more in these 9 months than I did in the last 5 years. I lost 20 pounds and have become my true self. I feel like I could talk to you for hours about this! Thank you for sharing this with the world. We need to make alcohol free a normal thing! Love you!💓
This is a beautiful testimony. Praise the Lord for your sobriety. He’s so good to deliver us from what entangles us. I’m so excited for your future. You look amazing!
I have 97 days in recovery and it’s the best I’ve ever felt! ❤ life is much better without it
This is amazingly incredible Jaclyn. Alcohol is so accepted. I stopped drinking 5 years ago and I’m at my lowest weight ever. Even pre high school weight, I’ve never felt better and I love this for you!!
I feel like this video was addressed to me. I quit alcohol over a year ago. But I am still struggling with “feeling good” I struggle with depression and I stopped taking my medication because I think that’s what’s been keeping me from “feeling” I like to feel, I like to cry I don’t want to be numb anymore. I’m almost a month in and I was going to give up and start taking my meds again but I thank you, I have to just remind myself of my worth.. to myself. You found yourself back in love with yourself and I need that. I need to love me again. I need to start loving me again.
Quitting alcohol made me feel sad too. Even after months.
The thing that got me over that hump was strength training. I hate cardio but weight lifting has been miraculous. It's been like an anti depressant with only good side effects😂💓
Look up dopamine receptors. Drinking deactivates the receptors, sometimes for months after quitting drinking. Eventually they will be reactivate, and you will feel pleasure again!
This resonated with me so much, I think you explained everything perfectly. I wish you so so much joy Jaclyn. These kinds of videos have the power to reach people at a time where they really need it, and that in itself is a beautiful thing. Personally I’ve been sober curious for over a year and had those same emotions about “Oh but this birthday is coming up and this holiday is coming” and time kept passing by without actually taking it seriously. Now there’s no excuses, you spoke so eloquently about all the things I’ve also been feeling and now I’m motivated to start my own sober journey.
Much love 🤍
Really proud that you shared this. It’s extremely admirable. I decided to get sober on January 1st because I felt like alcohol was controlling me and I wanted to take control back over my life and I’ve legit never felt better. It was SO HARD at first, but now it doesn’t even phase me. It doesn’t bring/nor produce anything positive for me, so why bother? My goal is to hit 1 year 🎉 Cheers to all my sober queens killing it out there! We’re doing the damn thing 🔥
Omg you are AMAZING!!!! Congrats!!!! I am going on 4 months sober here and I agree it was so frickin hard at first. I leave next weekend for a trip to an all-Inclusive in Mexico that I booked when I was still drinking (and I planned this trip with the mindset of- “ooh I can drink as much as I want!”) so I’m a bit nervous to be in that position environment. Hopefully it goes okay!
Ugh. Finishing my master's degree and I've never been so unhealthy (aka, drinking every day - not to the point of intoxication, but that "I need a drink" because of the stress). This video inspired me, so thank you so much for being so honest
I am struggling with my weight loss journey. Having a calendar to mark the days I stuck to my diet and didn't mess up is such a genius idea especially that I am a person who wants to SEE my progress. I am up for the challenge but for me it would be "sticking to my diet" instead of "not drinking". Thank you for inspiring me Jaclyn, cannot wait to see the next episodes❤️❤️❤️❤️
Same! I wish you the absolute best!! 😆◡̈
@@user-qb2veThank you❤ I wish you the same
Yes me too!!
Yes but remember to give yourself grace! As long as the good out weighs the bad. Don’t punish yourself if you decide to have that piece of pizza! Coming from an ex ED girl, developing that balance really pays off in the long run 🩷
@@jaimieblosser1966you're absolutely right! Thank you for your kind words❤
Girl, you have come a LONG way!! I first started watching you when I was drinking extremely heavy and finally made the decision to get sober. I had all these ambitions to do TH-cam and be like you. I just knew I had to be sober to have energy to do anything….sadly, it took a seizure for me to WAKE UP and do it. BUT 2 years later….I’m STILL sober and watching you finally come clean and be sober and it’s beautiful Jaclyn!!! The energy and drive you get from quitting drinking DOES NOT GO AWAY. It keeps its momentum!! I really hope to see you last a couple years!! And the weigh loss is such a perk when you get sober! I’m down 70 pounds and back down to a healthy 150 😊 stay strong Jaclyn! 💛💛💛💛 the sweets cravings is normal. I was told it’s your body craving the sugar that you would intake from the alcohol :) I often will eat something sweet when I would normally be craving a drink!
I love that you’re sharing this! I haven’t seen other big influencers talk about the truth of alcohol. It’s always so glamorized & it’s terrible for the body! Proud of you ❤
I love that this IDENTICAL to what I went through when I gave it up! The sugar cravings, the fears, the realizing you weren’t really YOU. I love this for you!
Congratulations! Welcome to the sober lifestyle. It’s crazy how our society is so alcohol positive when it’s literally poison.
it really is😢
I’m glad you’re using your platform for this. My friends and I do a 6 months sober, 6 months not every year. The benefits are immeasurable. A few of us have decided to drink little to none while back on because of this. We are in the PNW and do it after thanksgiving into May-in the PNW this is the best time😂. It’d be cool to see your challenge be a 6 months sober. Something that helped my partner decide to do it was this quote: “if I can’t take myself seriously by holding myself accountable, who else can?”. Congrats, Jaclyn. Shit’s not easy.
I have NEVER drank because of the way I saw alcohol affect my mom and dad, and I thank myself every day for that choice. Alcohol is so hard on your body, but it absolutely changes social settings. So proud of you ❤
Started bawling while watching this on the treadmill😭 So happy and proud of you!
I grew up with my mom being a binging alcoholic. Things got even worse after we lost my Dad to Covid in 2021. My mom lost everything and was pretty much homeless when she decided to get help. She is now 8 months sober and has grown so much. I feel like I am meeting the best version of her finally and I’m so proud💙
This has really inspired me to stay sober. I’ve only ever been a social drinker because I felt like I wouldn’t be fun otherwise. I always felt like crap for days-weeks after or worried that I said or did something dumb. With having addiction in my family I always felt like I could at any time trigger that addictive quality in myself. It’s really not worth it🖤 Thank you for being open and honest!
I am buying myself a calendar on Amazon right now and dumping the alcohol down the sink. Thank you Jac, so inspiring. I wanna feel like me again! ❤
I just did the same! ❤
This video just gave me the confidence to book my first appointment for therapy. Thank you for your story and your vulnerability! Love you!!❤❤❤
I’m so happy that more and more people are waking up to what alcohol has done to our society. It really does take weeks for your body to recover from a night of drinking, so even when I was only doing it once every few weeks, I never felt fully recovered. I’ve only drank a few times this year, and am pregnant now, but even after, plan to only have anything to drink on very special occasions.
I had to stop drinking due to medication and never realized how much of a problem I had with alcohol until that happened. It now has been 6 months and at times it's still difficult but you do start to feel so much better. You can see all the inflammation in your face has gone away. I'm so proud of you.
This is the content people love to see from you. It's genuine. Congratulations, I hope you feel as fantastic as you look.....
I’ve never heard someone explain their story and related so hard. THANK YOU! 327 days for me and I will never go back❤️
You know this is just what I needed. I quit alcohol on November 1st. Even though I had a bad day yesterday, not once did I reach for any alcohol. And currently my coworkers are doubting me. They think I'll go back to alcohol because I've been drinking since I was 21. I'm 26 now. I want to be sober when I start dating. Even though the dating pool sucks right now. I would always use alcohol as my escape from reality even hoped to a point it would take me out of help deal with my social anxiety. But I did not like those hangovers I got. After what happened on Halloween night I decided the next morning that I wasn't going to touch alcohol because it took me two days to recover fully and that messed with my work days. I feel great, my friends are even gonna help me through this. Jaclyn, this is definitely what people need to hear who are struggling with this poison. So thank you
I’ve been watching you a long time now and I just have to say how dang proud I am of you! I can’t imagine all the pressure you deal with being in this industry yet you are unapologetically you ♥️ you out yourself out there and are vulnerable with the world. You are helping more people than you even know. Also, I know you know this, but you have such an awesome husband! I love how supportive he is of you and help you be the best version of YOU. ♥️ keep being you Jaclyn! 😘
This gave me absolute shivers. I have a huge passion for fitness and overall wellness and this was so great to watch! I’m so happy for you. Documenting from the start makes the journey so much more rewarding!
As a long time viewer who immediately bought your lipsticks, I actually loved them, and was lucky enough to get a good batch. I currently struggle with a weed addiction, and this video is so inspiring. You are so strong. I’ve been an OG supporter, and I’m always praying for you girl ❤ I am so happy to see you show us your progress. You are a true queen 👑
I pray the Lord delivers you from your addiction in Jesus’ name AMEN!!
1 Peter 5:8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour
God’s will is for you to be sober ❤
I’m a silent viewer. I remember when I came across your Fall 2012 makeup tutorial and loved it so I’ve been following you since. You look amazing and happy now. Stay strong and positive❤️
Not me crying watching this. Your relationship with alcohol is exactly like mine. I went through an extremely horrible time this year with literally everything horrible happening back to back and used alcohol to cope. I even developed gout in my toes from abusing alcohol. I'm only 38. You truly inspire me and i hope to one day be able to say I made it 3 months .....thank you 🖤
Same!
Jaclyn - I have been watching you since I was 14, and I’m now 25. You taught me everything I know about makeup.
I’m also sober! I quit drinking on Dec. 2nd 2022 after a horrrrrrible years-long battle with alcoholism. I detoxed once at a hospital and they sent me on my way, and it was on me to make life improvements. If you’d told me a year ago that my life would be what it is today, I would simply not believe you. I moved into my own house, got an amazing new job, I’m back in school, found the love of my life that I want to marry, and I’ve been fully present for every moment of it. It is amazing what comes of not drinking. Sobriety is beautiful! I am so proud of you. Not only do you look amazing and healthy, but you are radiating from within and seem so genuinely content. We fucking love to see it. 👏🏼
🎉❤🎉Love this!!!!🎉❤🎉
When you cried, I cried. I loved this. I stopped drinking because I'm pregnant. I wasnt an alcoholic, but I developed a habit and I can relate to not having fun in a bar with friends. I'm proud of you for everything!!
They don't call liquor spirits for no reason. You said it, doom and gloom. It's also a depressant. I'm fighting my own thing. You look absolutely beautiful! Your face looks more sculpted! I'm thrilled for you 💗
I’ve been waiting for this for a long time. I’m so proud of you Jaclyn! Just remember all of those ‘I’m so stressed… I deserve a drink…’ should have been ‘I deserve NOT to have a drink’ You are honouring yourself now better than you ever could with alcohol! It broke our hearts seeing the u we grew to love disappear from your eyes. Don’t give up on yourself again cause you DESERVE to just be you! YOU are ENOUGH! ❤
I actually love this!!!! I’m going to use this whenever I was to do something that isn’t healthy for me!
This helped me so much. I just made this pledge to myself a couple days ago after crying hungover because of how shitty I felt. EVERYTHING you said in this video is exactly how I feel. Let’s change this norm… I just got my calendar and I’m ready baby lets break through this holiday season and New Year with clarity!! ❤️🎉💃🏽
I stopped drinking alcohol completely in March 2022 and have never looked back. I'll be 2 years alcohol-free in just a few months, and my brain is totally rewired in the best way!
One year and 25 days sober and it feels like this is what living really is. I learnt that I was using alcohol to cope with emotions. The third month was the hardest I was so emotional and felt so raw. Not drinking is my norm now and my depression diminished. Keep it up! Only great things will happen no to mention amazing skin.
Your liver is so grateful for your choice. Your mental health is so grateful for your choice. Congratulations! Stay the course.
The number one prevention of dementia is to not drink alcohol. You have helped yourself in more ways than you even realize.
I haven’t had an issue with alcohol because I’m not a huge drinker, but I will say I had a self proclaimed coke/pepsi addiction. Like couldn’t go a day without it without feeling like total garbage. One month ago I completely stopped drinking ANY soda just a coffee in the morning and water through the rest of the day. Coming out of that mental fog has been incredible, and I sleep so much better now. Keep going girl! You’ve got this! I’ve been watching you for YEARS and I’m so proud of you ❤️
YOU GO, GIRL! I am so, so, so, so SO proud of you and happy for you! My mom decided on her own to go to rehab last fall at the age of 65 after 40+ years of severe alcoholism. I am so proud to say she recently hit her 1 year sober mark! Having seen the path you could have walked, I can literally see her saying "You go, girl!" We're cheering for you. And p.s. you seem so much like yourself in your earlier content and I love seeing you this joyful!
So happy for you for this achievement!! There may be people out there suffering from alcoholism and being able to see someone, such as yourself, with so much influence on others, may give them the realization that they can do it too!! I’ve seen many of my friends who have become alcoholics/addicts over the past 10 years and some are still out there suffering but there are those few who have been able to quit & not look back! I am almost 3 years sober(11/11/20) myself!!! Cheers(mocktail) to you, for another success in your beautiful journey!! **Can we please have a moment of silence for those still suffering?** ❤
Your vulnerability is so inspiring ✨ all of our journeys are not easy. Thank you for this reminder that just because they aren't easy doesn't mean we are not STRONG 👏🏽
Thank you for this. Haven’t watched the whole thing yet but already want to say thank you. I relate so much when it comes to alcohol and I am getting sober too. You look beautiful and even more so from the inside out. Proud of you ❤️
