Thank you guys for watching this video and for all of your support. I didn't mention this in the video but I do feel that I owe a significant portion of my decision to get sober again to my subscribers, so thank you for being here and supporting my channel.

Being a small business owner myself, what initially drew me to your channel were those videos...BUT THIS VIDEO made me a subscriber. Your brutal honesty is absolutely refreshing. I have been through the same and struggle with my past a lot. Tyfs
Small business owners gotta stick together 🤍 this is hard, deffinetly. Thank you for the kind words 🤍
You have taken a big step in sharing this story and you should be proud of yourself to admit this publicly. You are on the road to recovery and remember you have a great following of people who will support you on you journey. Look to the future ~ you will succeed! Be very proud of yourself and hold you head high. Looking forward to seeing more videos. And just want you to know I almost gave up trying to make candles until I found your video about Candle Math. You made it so I could understand the process and I am forever grateful. God Bless
Keep up the hard work. I'm 42 and I've been learning from you the past couple weeks to start my own business. I understand burnout, where I get so scared I think God doesn't even like me anymore. It's the complete opposite. This world demands so much from us women, we have to do it all and be perfect at it. Worst part, we get paid sh*t. God adores you Sarah. He's got ur back thru thick n thin. Never be embarrassed. But I get it. My teeth are decayed n I've never been married, had children, or be able to start a family. The man I fell in honest true love w chose a woman who makes more $ than me, n he's miserable w her. I hate him n myself for not having MORE! Pathetic. I know why God keeps me single. I look n listen to you n I'm like she's gorgeous. She's beautiful and smart (just watched ur Candle Math vid). OY babe, I'll watch it again like u said. As for the inner voice that exhausts u or if it's worry bout $... Stop it in it's tracks (in ur head, within ur soul). We choose our thoughts. Always, wo hesitation, think of how far uv come. Dream n envision ur future. U hv us here, I hv you, sister. I worked my way up bussing tables, serving, to working the line at The Capital Grille. I go bk to that in my head (cuz my mom was dying while working in the kitchen). And I remind myself NO ONE else has lived 1 gd second of my soul. Please do the same. God made u and knows what u go thru ea fkn moment of ur day. We women are beautiful in n out. Rest is key, saying NO to others, and feed urself well. I hv 2 cats that love me. I pay my bills and property taxes and men delete me from their life bc I don't hv time nor ENERGY to... you know what. This world CAN be disgusting and we don't hv to feed into how others think of us. Keep being a creative funny n intelligent beast. Jesus adores u, u r helping me start something that will release me from working overtime n filling rich peoples pockets. I just finished HRBlock tech work last month n going into Medicare season ltr this month till Dec. I am making a vow to myself to not go bk to tax season in Jan. I can't keep doing this. Sorry for the lengthy comment. But I want my journey to include u n ur skills. I take notes when I watch u. I trust u. I know nothin bout this business n I want to do this bc you show the grace of God, the feminine luxurious part of us. U r so cool. Hang in there. REST!
Hey 👋 it's lovely to see your face. I love this channel because of how real you are, where ever your at and whatever topic you choose to talk about, you are loved and supported ❤
Thank you so much Leigh-Anne 🤍
Exactly!
It is good to see you back on TH-cam! Took a TON of courage to come on here to tell your story. I got sober in 2016. Was a weekend warrior mixing alcohol and opioids. Currently in college, working full-time, trying to start a candle business, and a parent. I’ve totally thought about drinking to oblivion again, but like yourself I never want to experience the 2-day hangover anymore. You’re very brave! Stay strong!!! ❤❤❤
Hi Sarah, it's so good to see you back on YT. I know it took an incredible amount of courage to share your story with us. I am so proud of you! We all have things we've done we aren't proud of, so know you are not alone in this. Most of all, know you are not a bad person. You will get through this, so hold your head high and allow yourself some grace. You are beautiful, smart and amazing! Just look at what you have built here on YT and with your business!!! You are going to get through this. Sending you big hugs :)
Thank you so much, that was really sweet 🥲
I just started my candle journey，been watching a lot channel，yours is my favorite so far. I love the way you talk，make you are so real，thank for sharing everything
That’s so kind of you to say, thank you 🤍
Happy to see you upload. Thank you for sharing your journey.
Thank you beautiful 🤍 I’m glad to be back
I spent all of my 20s and 30s an alcoholic. My sister died at age 52 because of alcoholism, we were very close. Ive also spent years as a drug addict after i quit drinking. Traded one for the other. The worst thing you can do is beat yourself up everytime you screw up. Just pick yourself up and move on because the fact is, we're only human and we make mistakes. Sometimes we have things from our past that we need to work on because when we do fall back into old ways it's all about self medicating, we just want to feel better. Anyway, i wish you nothing but the best and keep your chin up ❤
Thank you for your kind words 😊
I came across your channel looking for information on making candles with both of my children. I can relate on a personal level on mental health. I'm retired firefighter of 18 years and I want threw a rough few years even tho this is something we as a community work on everyday. I find doing crafts with my boys and getting to know God better helps get me through. Anyway I love what you do and all the information you have to offer helps a lot of people on their projects. I look forward to seeing more videos from you. We're all here for you as a community.
That’s so kind of you to say, I’m very glad my channel has been helpful. I have noticed spending quality time with my kids is the best anti depressant I’ve ever had 😂
I thought about you last night & Here you are!❤😊
You manifested me 😂🤍 thank you beautiful!
@@EclipseBotanica WE ❤️ YOU
🥲
I just came across your videos because I was looking for information about making candles. I immediately felt a connection to how real you are. This video was even more so because my brother, and my family has struggled with addiction for a long time. I don't think you realize how engaging you are. Keep it up. Honestly I know you don't know me and I don't know you but we are all in this together. Cheesy I know. Just Thank you.
That wasn’t cheesy at all that was really kind of you to say. I’ve been struggling with making more content but comments like this always give me the motivation to start writing ideas again. Thank you 🤍
I’m glad your back. Keep moving forward never give up. Sometimes it’s better to walk then run.
Most definitely, thank you 🤍
Hey girl, I just wanted to say thank you for being brave and sharing your story. You never know when your words are going to inspire others in their journey. I am sending you hugs of encouragement and I will be praying for you.
Thank you so much Maritza 🤍
Hi Sarah, I completely relate personally to what you just said and appreciate you so much. You are such a beautiful soul! If I could give you some advice? Focus on the positive. Look at all the things you have done right. We are all fuck ups sometimes, so what! Regret is useless. Try to let it go and focus on today. I quit drinking (again hmmm) on New Years. Anyway just my two cents 🥰
Thank you for that, you’re absolutely right. I’m actively trying to give myself some grace. It sounds like you truly do know what I’m going through so, I’m so glad to see you here and thank you for the kind and inspiring words 🤍 you got this too!
I have been worried a little bit about you. It is so nice to see your beautiful face.
you deserve to have peace and contentment in your life. So stop kicking your own ass and find your muse. 😊
everybody’s story is different. Everybody makes mistakes.
At my age, I have looked back and realize that I was the factor that caused the greatest issues in my life. It was all me. So honey you have to just work on yourself to find your happy place.
You fell down. Now stop being hard on yourself and get back up and start the race all over again. ❤❤❤❤❤
I forgot to say thank you for being transparent. It helps people to know that they are not the only ones that stumble and get back up and keep on going.
Hi Laurie 🥰 you’re right, thank you for the words of encouragement. I think my issue is I feel the need to beat myself over the head with guilt or I won’t learn my lesson but turns out I think guilting myself so deeply can actually lead to further self destruction lol 30 years to learn that lesson. Thank you for the kind words, I’ve missed you too!
@@EclipseBotanica you can overcome. You’re a Boss Mom
I found your channel because I'm interested in making candles, Im sorry your going through so much difficulties, please learn about Islam, I have been Muslim for 17 years, it's only way somone can feel relief, I have been through tones of hardships with my health and it's the only thing that saved me and kept me going, many people are reverting. It's a massive comfort in every way when you find God. I wish you the best my dear ❤LJ x
One day at a time girl, take care
Thank you 🤍
❤❤❤❤❤
💚🙏💚
hi sarah welcome back
🥰
@@EclipseBotanica so I’m thinking about selling my candles on Shopify is it worth it for 29 a month
I buy the yearly one, it saves you 1 month in the long run, but I’ve been wondering if maybe it would’ve been better to start on Etsy for a couple years and then move to both Etsy and Shopify, idk you just have to test the waters I guess and find which one works best for you
@@EclipseBotanica I heard Etsy charges you if you don’t make enough sales in a month or something
😵 I don’t think that’s correct but now you got me worried I need to go check my entire bank statements from now till the beginning of opening my business 😂 if I find something like that I’ll let you know
What's your Instagram
