@@julienolkeLook at it this way: I'm too bad at social stuff to do it with impaired judgement, and social anxiety is bad enough if you only have the faux pas you remember to deal with, I don't want to be worrying about a bunch of things I might have said but can't remember. I drink a few times a year max, and never more than 2 or 3 drinks over an entire evening. And only very rarely do I buy my own alcohol, the stuff is just way too expensive.
I quit drinking a couple years ago and have felt better than I have in 20 years. It can take a few months to adjust but then one day it hits you- " I feel fantastic!"
@@dunnowy123 I used to until it got to the point where it only took 4 beers to be drunk and throw up and every time I threw up blood was coming up. Yep, didn't feel so good anymore for me, but you do you.
1:18 I’m Irish and if we hear anyone talk about stopping drinking we get very concerned that they are having some kind of mental breakdown - like it is viewed with massive suspicion
This one kinda hit home more seriously than funny. This is where I was at the start of the pandemic. I did decide to just cut alcohol out all together. Very happy with the decision. Anyone else in this place, don’t be afraid to try it.
Good luck with staying sober. I've gone without drinking since Nov2009 due my family having bad and persistent alcohol issues. I miss it, but it's been the best for me.
Yay Mirror Julie is back!! Hey, good on you if you quit drinking. I quit 10 years ago and it made such a huge difference in my mental and physical health. Good luck!
"What's the ish bish?" Mirror Julie starting off strong 😂I just passed 9 years sober myself Julie, and rest assured it is entirely possible to raw dog social interaction (even if it's a little terrifying at first 👀). I don't have a reassuring replacement for pasta and red wine, alas - there are just some joys I've learned to live without for "the sake of my health" or something like that!
I can't believe Better-Help is still allowed to advertise after all the scams and privacy breaches. Sigh. That's North American mental health care I suppose!
We've missed mirror Julie so much !! I haven't quit drinking but I have had maybe 3 hangovers in the last 7 years and it feels great to have control and stop when you're tipsy only.
Totally awesome decision. Once you get over the hump you'll be thrilled you did. Selzer water is great for networking and sparkling apple juice goes great with food. And you'll have so much more energy and focus.
A few months ago I was drinking and then had a sudden cognition that I didn't want this. Since then I've had 2 glasses of wine at an art show but have otherwise quit drinking totally.
I'm so happy that Mirror-Julie is back! And sooooo many zingers about the older you get and the hangover being more painful! I laughed through this whole one!
I've been "sober" for almost two years, and I finally went out to a bar with some friends after work the other day. I drank like a 20 mg thc drink before I went in, and just had two NA beers. It was the most fun I've had in a long time. I know it's not sober enough for some people, but I'm happy with the risk level comparative to alcohol, and my life has improved immeasurably. Given, I was drinking a fifth or so of vodka a day, so. . . Thanks for this video, Julie! It's hard to talk about giving up alcohol, but if more people did, maybe it wouldn't be so daunting to try to stop.
Bravo mirror Julie returns 🎉 Happy New Year Julie 🎊💕 Wishing you all the best on your tour and your personal endeavors as well 🙏🏼 You are like a breath of super fresh air and sunshine ☀️
Mirror Julie is your best character, that’s the one that would work best on SNL. Not that I think you should sell out to that show, but whatever you want to aim for. Love your stuff!!
so glad to see mirror julie back! and what an uplifting video! *whispers but kids please see a therapist in real life. that in person relationship is way way better and more effective for you*
Good luck with the tour,Julie. I wish I could see it but i'm down here in the USA. I remember when you first started during the pandemic.You've come a long way. Kudos
Only thing that would have made this more like Mirror Julie... at the end, a collage of party Julie! Helping her come to terms with the reality. 😂 Priceless... "The handstand is my move!" 😂😂😂😂
I’ve recently gone through the stopping alcohol consumption journey. I’ve never felt better. The Athletic Brewing Company’s hazy IPA helped immensely. It actually tastes good (contrary to many other brands, as you highlight in your video). Thank you, Julie!
Come see me on tour!! Tickets: www.julienolke.ca/
Winnipeg April 30th
Calgary May 3rd
Vancouver May 8th
Can't believe people still take betterhelp sponsers after all the information that came out.
I am disappointed in you.
It took me all of one second to buy that ticket for Vancouver! Within a one day's drive! I'm so looking forward to the show.
You should definitely do Seattle too..
Come to Chicago and Schamburg, IL!

Welcome back Mirror Julie, the web's most qualified therapist!
A dang sight better qualified than BetterHelpOurselvesToYourPersonalData, that's fer sher.
It's "'Unqualified therapist". Used the wrong version of the word. 😆
bish what's your ishh-ue?
@@julienolkeThe best line
Boozin' Mirror Julie! A sight for sore eyes! Of course we were wondering about you. 😁
"You're gonna raw dog social interaction!?!?!"
I felt this in my bones!
How do I talk to people actually tho?
@@julienolke I just don't.

@@julienolke Why would you want to?
what does raw dog actually mean?
I would never forget you mirror Julie
Just 9 days into 2025 and we already have the most awaited comeback; Mirror Julie helping Julie out with her problems like only Mirror Julie can
hahaha
Woo! Return of Mirror Julie!
Who?
I quit drinking a couple years ago and have felt better than I have in 20 years. It can take a few months to adjust but then one day it hits you- " I feel fantastic!"
That's funny, because when I drink, I feel fantastic!
Same 6 years no drinking
@@dunnowy123 I used to until it got to the point where it only took 4 beers to be drunk and throw up and every time I threw up blood was coming up. Yep, didn't feel so good anymore for me, but you do you.
@@the1andonlycorbin Damn, that sucks man.
Thank you for sharing sparky, let me know when you grow a pair, until then wanna hold hands or would you prefer a security blanket 😅
Definitely using "What's your ish bish" in my life from now on
Julie needs to be selling merch with that on it.
Yes, that and "raw dog social interactions" are absolute gems
Going to try that tonight. Will see if I am alive tomorrow.
I've gotten real good at quitting drinking. Sometimes I quit 5-6 times a day!
Perfect comment right here! 😂😂😂
I know right. i have been doing blow for 15 years and I am still not addicted. 🙂
indeed - quit between every two drinks.
Jerry Seinfeld second-hand smokes 2 packs a day😂
@@buckiesmallsI'm proud of you
Once anxiety became one of my hangover symptoms I started to understand why people quit drinking.
“ You are going to raw dog social interactions?! ”
LOL!
Oh man do I feel this.
Thank you Mirror Julie for your explanation of Trickle Down Economics. You are not only a compassionate counselor but also a brilliant economist.
"That's our agreement, I think".
Brilliant dialog, right there
"what's your ish, bish?" is going in my daily vocab
1:18 I’m Irish and if we hear anyone talk about stopping drinking we get very concerned that they are having some kind of mental breakdown - like it is viewed with massive suspicion
"You know when I let loose on the dance floor its go time".
Said every awkward drunk dancer.
I'm actually the only person alive who fits that description. 👍 I'm pretty sure. Yeah - I'm sure.
Definitely.
I wonder if she looks like Elaine Benes when she lets it all hang out on the dance floor?
This one kinda hit home more seriously than funny. This is where I was at the start of the pandemic. I did decide to just cut alcohol out all together. Very happy with the decision. Anyone else in this place, don’t be afraid to try it.
Same. Except the pandemic is when I started drinking. Too much. Alone.
Good luck with staying sober. I've gone without drinking since Nov2009 due my family having bad and persistent alcohol issues. I miss it, but it's been the best for me.
I love when a Nolke video starts with "Mirror Mirror?"
Don't worry Miss Mirror, the people missed you!
The beer toss is such a Movie professional cut.
And right through a mirror, without breaking it!
The writing, acting, and editing are so freaking good in this sketch!
oomg thank yoou!! (my o is brooken ono my keybooard loool)
We will never forget you, Mirror Julie
Reason to watch Julie: Mirror Julie.
Reason not to watch Julie: Better help.
Mirror Julie might legitimately be a better source for therapy than betterhelp. I can't believe people are still taking their sponsorships in 2025
My favorite character. Love her. Keep it coming. All the best.
"Raw Dog social interaction"
Best line EVER!!!
Yay Mirror Julie is back!! Hey, good on you if you quit drinking. I quit 10 years ago and it made such a huge difference in my mental and physical health. Good luck!
I missed mirror Julie, she is a brilliant invention ... please keep her a part of your videos
Today I learned: Leave the dance floor when Julie comes on to avoid getting kicked in the face.
Great skit Girls!
"The handstand is my signature move." 😂
This video was like a deep dive into something very serious and still hilarious. Huge props!
Welcome back both Julies!
Right when the world needed her most Mirror Julie returned to renew our hope.
Welcome back Mirror Julie! Please stay for awhile.
Oh no! Not better help!!

She’s back! Mirror Julie is back! 🎉🎉🎉
Welcome back Mirror Julie
We've missed mirror Julie so much !! I haven't quit drinking but I have had maybe 3 hangovers in the last 7 years and it feels great to have control and stop when you're tipsy only.
Totally awesome decision. Once you get over the hump you'll be thrilled you did. Selzer water is great for networking and sparkling apple juice goes great with food. And you'll have so much more energy and focus.
Julie, your comedic timing is absolutely on point. I've become a fan of yours last year and will be looking forward to more content from you.
My heart skipped a bit when I saw Mirror Julie! I needed this today!
Love mirror Julie!
As someone that JUST quit drinking on the 1st, this is hilarious and hits so close to home lol
A few months ago I was drinking and then had a sudden cognition that I didn't want this. Since then I've had 2 glasses of wine at an art show but have otherwise quit drinking totally.
I realized, when very young when I could not remember the next day of the ‘supposed great times I was having’ it was not worth drinking to much.
Congratulations on your healthy choices, Chica! Happy new year! 🎉🎉🎉
Low key the best thing I've seen today.
Thanks for the positive vibes.
As someone who is coming up on 11 yrs sober, its absolutely still looked down upon to not drink.
Oh no. I was so glad to see old-fashion skit, the subject was perfect and was treated with humanity as always and then...
"Better Help." O_O
Always good to see videos from you.
"Sad with wine, sad without wine" . . . Truely, one of life's greatest delimas.😁
That's where whiskey comes in! 😉
I'm so happy that Mirror-Julie is back! And sooooo many zingers about the older you get and the hangover being more painful! I laughed through this whole one!
OMG! Laughed through the whole thing! So happy that mirror Julie still has that robe.
I MISSED HER SO MUCH
And omg Julie your hair look freaking gorgeous
Using near beer as mix. Genius!
Mirror Julie saying everything that we are thinking out loud is always a pleasure!! 😂🤣❤️
Thank you, Jules. I needed some solidarity with the concept.
I could never forget about Mirror Mirror!
Always good advice from Mirror Julie! And she seems to have more mirror now
Welcome back, Mirror Julie. Now that you folks have become our 51st state, it will be much easier to visit us on a regular basis :)
I recognize that can! Athletic Brewing actually has a solid lineup, it's my go-to for the fake beer!
I've been "sober" for almost two years, and I finally went out to a bar with some friends after work the other day. I drank like a 20 mg thc drink before I went in, and just had two NA beers.

It HAS IN FACT been way too long!! So glad she is back!
Brilliant, welcome back Mirror Julie, funniest character on TH-cam
Coming up on 5 years sober. Life (even parties) have never been better. One day at a time.
Mirror Julie, as ever, has surprising depths to her. Here's to the New Year on both sides of the glass!
Hi Julie, great video, love the longer hair. Happy new year to you and your family.
Your mirror is my favorite part of the channel. Fantastic
motherhood agrees with you darlin' - you look effing gorgeous WAUW!
Bravo mirror Julie returns 🎉 Happy New Year Julie 🎊💕 Wishing you all the best on your tour and your personal endeavors as well 🙏🏼 You are like a breath of super fresh air and sunshine ☀️
1:50 that "self doubt" was the most Canadian thing that has ever come oat of her moath
Mirror Julie is your best character, that’s the one that would work best on SNL. Not that I think you should sell out to that show, but whatever you want to aim for. Love your stuff!!
Yay! She's back !!...👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽. Love mirror Julie🎉
Mirror, mirror is my favorite Julie Nolke bits, literally.
so glad to see mirror julie back! and what an uplifting video!
*whispers but kids please see a therapist in real life. that in person relationship is way way better and more effective for you*
🗣️Hey Netflix…Time to green light the Julie Nolke show ✅
"That last one might be true." 🤣
I hope we see you again Mirror Julie! We love you! 🥰
I'm with ya, dry january 2018 turned into a lifestyle.
Mirror Julie is what they mean by “you are your biggest critic.” 😂
So glad Mirror Julie is back. I really missed her.
You got me with the raw dog comment. 😂
Good luck with the tour,Julie. I wish I could see it but i'm down here in the USA. I remember when you first started during the pandemic.You've come a long way. Kudos
i quit drinking once until i got another beer from the fridge wow longest 30seconds of my life😂
Welcome Mirror Julie
Raw dawg the convo.... Chef's kiss... subscribing rightfully earned!!!
Finally!! We missed you mirror Julie!!
I know it's only january but "you gonna rawdog social interactions" is the quote of the year
also did you put the microphone inside your hair net ? XD
I spy the poster for your tour in the background. Nice!
Only thing that would have made this more like Mirror Julie... at the end, a collage of party Julie! Helping her come to terms with the reality. 😂
Priceless... "The handstand is my move!" 😂😂😂😂
You're literally better than SNL.
I’ve recently gone through the stopping alcohol consumption journey. I’ve never felt better. The Athletic Brewing Company’s hazy IPA helped immensely. It actually tastes good (contrary to many other brands, as you highlight in your video). Thank you, Julie!
Mirror Julie, “You know when this would be good? After five or six beers.” I had to laugh!
Glad to see Mirror Julie is back!
Loved seeing Julie/Mirror back again!
0:29 ngl Mirror Julie is easily among my top 5 anime profile pics
Mirror Julie! I've missed her so much. We'd never forget about you, girl! 🥰
I never want to hear a toilet called a porcelain telephone ever again in my life lol
Never drunk, highly recommend it.
Mirror Julie is our guiding light, may she continue to guide us through 2025.
Oh yes!
Yay mirror Julie is back ❤❤
