Starting the day off hangover free has been so lovely! Yesterday I woke up energized and was able to visit my grandma and a friend who's going through cancer... In my previous state I wouldn't have been able to show up for them! I left feeling so proud and woke up with the same feeling today 💓 Beginning day 10!!
Oh wow Erika that's huge!!! You know there are two groups of people who I love hearing from the most and those are: A. Parents who are getting sober and are spending more quality time with their kids. B. People like yourself who have close people in their lives that are going through some sort of pain and trauma and are able to show up for them and be present and be their best self! I'm very proud of you for your self-awareness and understanding that sobriety isn't just for you. Of course we do it first and foremost for ourselves. But once we get all of this positive momentum behind us, it starts to radiate out to our friends, our family, and the people we care about the most. I've had handfuls of people who've told me that they wouldn't have been able to have been there for their loved ones who were terminally ill had. They not gotten sober. And it's truly a gift that you are choosing this time and this place to make strides towards being your best self. Good for you and I'm happy for your loved ones getting the best of you 🙏🏼
I'm so thankful there's so many of these videos. I really wanted to drink today, I'm going through a lot of shit and I suck at dealing with stress. Instead, I came to this channel and started binge watching these videos, and I stayed sober. Thank you.
This is huge!!!!! I want you to keep updating me on your progress! each week, drop in or even everyday if you want. when I get time to respond, I will make sure to get back to you. THIS IS YOUR MONTAGE MOMENT!
"Drinking alcohol today borrows from tomorrow's happiness." Beautifully said and very accurate. Thank you for that. On day 47 of complete sobriety. 30 years of light/moderate alcohol abuse. Time for change. Thank you for the motivating videos.
Hey Jake, 47 days is a very impressive streak that you've EARNED! Let's keep it up...you never know who you might inspire with your OWN sobriety journey!
Don’t give up! My hubby said it was hardest thing he ever did. Then he had his knee surgery and had trouble getting off the pain pills. His liver was injured from hepatitis C . Years of not having a name for it,a cure for it,.he was still fuzzy headed until we had Dr delete his Lipitor. You can do it. I’m a nurse and most of the illnesses I’ve seen were from smoking or drinking.
Found this channel on day one. I now have 10 days! I’ve gone much longer than this before and relapsed again and again just because. But this time I am USING MY MIND to stay sober and not just will power. It is a finesse to remain clean and it really is one day at a time. I noticed in the past I would allow triggers to turn into a relapse (maybe not day of) but the next day or subconsciously plan to drink later. I am taking my sobriety very serious and understanding that today really does depict tomorrow! Good luck everyone. Thanks Jae!
Damn, this video is so relatable! The title says it all. I'm three days sober and I'm mentally preparing myself for the weekend. I just subscribed to your channel.
So many people fail just to get to 3 days sober. Just work on 1 day at a time....This is a very critical time and its easy to relapse. You should be proud of yourself. Now feed off of your momentum, and focus on self care, rest when you need to rest, nap, get to bed early and wake up late if you have do. Withdrawal cravings are no joke!
Thank you for your response and advice. The momentum is going. I've been honoring my body and listening to what it needs. Happy I stumbled upon your channel. Hat's off to your sobriety as well!
Thank you for taking the time for the reply everything you say I relate too it’s crazy especially losing jobs... I’m doing better now I’m aiming for 30 days ... thank you so much
Really thinking about it - what creates the better buzz? Alcohol and emotionally pondering aspirations that could be, or coffee and actually engaging a long put off aspiration?
Awww!! Tears are just your soul burning off calories it doesn't need 🙏🏼 A good cry is up there with a good nap. Bonus points when you do them back to back!
Enough about me lol lets talk about you @Jae your editing is sublime dude, RESPECT. I'm catching these daily, they're timeless. First and last thing I watch these last few (several) days, from my first cup of coffee to my last glass of water. Thank you! Your stream has become an oracle for me!
Thank you enough said subscribed hello from Australia and yep pool tables where my thingy I,honesty I live totally off grid western remote NSW Lightning Ridge,leaned over 2 have a look across the side of the wagon and fell off.Found your channel,I digress as I do has a made a difference .Thank you one can not have step 12 before restarting at step one simple as ...
My experience has been that drinking to that degree is self destructive and causes nothing but pain and suffering. Going on six years for me, don't miss it a drop.
Perfect timing on the post, right at dinner time when the thoughts of a drink kick in! Thanks! The health threats are definitely a good way to get scared sober. That always snaps me back into reality. 😬Good luck with your pancreas. Do we know how long it takes to detox our organs? If you're going to address it in your 90-day upcoming video, I can wait if it's a spoiler alert. Just rewatched the 30-day 20 benefit video- One of your best. When I watched it the first time I was rocked, so I needed to rewatch. 🤪. The day I discovered your channel, I think.
Bill Foley here I've tried to stop drinking for 18 months bing drinking every other day to 2 days sometimes 3 longest I went was 12 . My mind is getting weaker temperament shorter anxiety is through the roof I'm at rock bottom my mind is foggy all the time I'm making poor decisions point is get help or help yourself before it's too late.
So funny - when I go to the bar sober - it’s mainly to people watch and to see the same people doing the same thing over and over with no change in their sight. I’m there with my soda water and feeling good consistently. They all look at me like girl where have you been? I respond - just living my life :).
@@bigrus0078 I just checked, yes it has arrived to my account! Thank you :) I hope to hear that your tides will turn for the better soon my friend. Of course if there's anything you want to talk about privately, you know where to reach me!
Just found you a few days ago and loving your videos. 2 years af and now a year of drinking and “on and off” drinking weeks in between. It’s exhausting to drink. I’m done. Again. Day 8. To EVERY ONE in here ...remind yourself....DO YOU WANT THAT DRINK bad enough to have to BORROW FROM TOMORROW?????”......that is the question I ask myself. It’s working!
I stopped Drinking but am still smoking. My Triggers are usually Friday nights being bored with extra time and Drama from others I associate with most of whom have already been cut off.
Never took a nap in my car when hungover just ran to the liquor store on my lunch break to chase the hangover away. Been chasing away that hangover for years but I’m getting tired.
When you started by saying "Have you ever had to spend your lunch hour taking a nap in your car" I knew it was gonna be a good one. lol. I'm not an alcoholic, but I am making a decision to go Alcohol Free for 30 days (I did it before in 2019) and the reason is, I'm tired of feeling like poop! And I'm also kinda sick of all the wasted time. Not only drinking, which doesn't always feel wasted (no pun intended) in the moment, but the time after. . . it's like I couldn't wait to get home to sleep to waste even more time. smh
You got me pegged! I have 91 episodes so far for you to binge watch, feel free to hop around and check them out and leave plenty of comments. I do my best to answer each and every single comment :):):)
Day 3. This isn't the first time I've tried to give up alcohol, but it is the first time I've been determined. I have had times where I came home and took a nap at lunch. I have also had times where I just called in cause I knew I was still drunk or to hungover.
It's been a blessing to have some consistency from the algorithm. Over the past 2 years we were sometimes only getting like 5 or 10 or sometimes no subscribers a day. And to your point, yes, the sober movement is becoming more popular. People are starting to realize that they don't need alcohol to be their best selves!

Hey Jake, 47 days is a very impressive streak that you've EARNED! Let's keep it up...you never know who you might inspire with your OWN sobriety journey!
Morning after day 1. Feel like crap, but I know I'll feel better. Thanks for some inspiration!

That first buzz we can't get again until hangover hell and reset. A buzz that can be achieved with exercise and no hangover, but maybe some soreness.

HOLY MOSES! We need to get you a channel! Congrats on 6 years wow!!!
@@gwillis01 Today, August 30th makes six years. One of the best decisions in the last 15 years for me.

Nice! Welcome aboard Mick
i used to cut logs in the woods i have had the dry heaves with a chainsaw in my hands. not fun but when your logging the hangover does not last long.
That's an amazing take! I would definitely love to hear some more of your story
This is a dope saying to keep in mind!
Awesome. Now keep us updated with your comments :)

Day 3. This isn't the first time I've tried to give up alcohol, but it is the first time I've been determined. I have had times where I came home and took a nap at lunch. I have also had times where I just called in cause I knew I was still drunk or to hungover.
Well stay tuned. In a few days I'll have episode 90, the 25 benefits of quitting alcohol for 90 days uploaded!!
Day 2 ... again lol my longest was 14 days so this time I want you get past that time 🎉
Honest J 👍🏼👋🏼
I like the sound of that!!
Leave me be. I will send money when I can
I'm a piece of shit. Will send. Money when I can get
I don't drink through the week ..but I drink a river on the weekends
Sounds common....work hard play hard...What is your goal with regard to sobriety?
If you keep kicking the can down the road eventually you’ll run out of road.
That might be my favorite fortune cookie =)
Sarah Saffari brought me here
I'm not familiar. can you tell me more?
Hello
What's Poppin?
Notice your subs are jumping up recently- more people must be getting into sobriety :D.
It's been a blessing to have some consistency from the algorithm. Over the past 2 years we were sometimes only getting like 5 or 10 or sometimes no subscribers a day.
And to your point, yes, the sober movement is becoming more popular. People are starting to realize that they don't need alcohol to be their best selves!
Keep relapsing. My butt hurts. Alcohol is kicking my ass. Literally.
I think it would benefit all parties involved, If you explain why it is that you keep relapsing?
