Hi, you prob won’t read this but I thought I’d share anyway. Since your last video I made a change and went cold turkey. Been drinking everyday for the past 10’years. I’ll be coming up on 30 days sober in a few days. Never felt better. Thank you for the inspo friend 🖤
That’s amazing! Congratulations!! 🎉
Congratulations that's incredible!
Awesome keep it up!!!❤🎉
This is amazing!!!!! I made the same choice and am on day 18. We got this!!!
This is incredible! I wish you all the good vibes along your journey 💕
Wow! She literally looks 10 years younger, sharper, more mature and her true personality is beaming out her soul! Amazing! ✔️✔️✔️
The weight aged her 100%

Probably
Great point: alcohol has no health benefits. It only has a negative effect on your body. That’s just the truth and thank you for being honest about it! Too often we try to excuse that fact away and ignore it.
That's what I say to anyone who asks why I don't drink 👌🏻
Well, some red wine does
@@hopeestherr this has been debunked for a long time sadly
@@hopeestherrexcuse’s you no need it. You can get better benefits from no drink alcohol at all.
That’s not true. As a medical professional for 21yrs I can tell you that alcohol in small amounts is beneficial for many body systems.
1 week without alcohol for me and I’m already feeling a world of difference!
Congratulations keep up the good work one day at a time it’s all worth it. Your life will be so much colorful, and happiness will come to you.
Way to go!!!
I’ll be 300 days of no alcohol on December 9th!! I started watching Jaclyn’s journey over a year ago & crying bc I was a bartender & had to make money & I would hate having to go work bc I knew I’d drink. I was in a relationship with someone who was drinking 5 days a week so I was drinking 5 days a week. & once I got over not making fast bar money & left the relationship, it was so easy for me to quit alcohol. I love you forever Jaclynnnn you got this.
Jaclyn, I am so emotional watching this video because I decided to take a break from alcohol after your last video and I have not had a sip in 18 days. Watching this video today is making me stop and take a moment to celebrate that and also to celebrate the fact that I am taking care of myself!!! Thank you for the inspiration and motivation ❤❤❤
Omggg I love this! So happy for you and sooo proud of you! It’s not easy but it’s the best choice you can make!!❤
❤
@@Jaclynhill1hey Jac I have SEVERE IBS, any tips?
Thank you! I stopped drinking after your last video. Something I have been thinking about and wanting to do for YEARS. I’m 24 days in and starting to really feel better. I have tried to stop in the past and the biggest difference this time around is exactly what you said “make this your only priority”. I have been eating ice cream and sweets and sugary snacks and ordering whatever I want for dinner. Changing everything at once is way too hard. More than anything the difference this time is that I’m being KIND TO MYSELF. Before I would be so mean to myself “why is this so hard for you? You really have a problem if this is hard. Why can’t you just do this?”
Now I’m like “Yes. This is hard. And I can do hard things. It’s ok”
This narrative of kindness is game changing.
Thank you for pushing me to make positive changes in my life. It means so much! ❤
5 days without alcohol. My goal is a week. This has been a hard day for me. 😢I paused at the sleeping part bc i cant sleep for shiz! I thought i was going crazy but to know im not alone makes me feel safe here . ❤ thank you
Congratulations! Every day counts!!!
Thank you Jacklyn. I was sober for 5 years. I relapsed and it's been two years of hell. Thank you so much for this video. ❤ God bless
Sending Love, Peace and support
Praying for you ❤
You’ve got this girl! ❤
Keep fighting. You are worth it and you are strong enough!
Relapse is part of the process don’t be too hard on yourself. Much love
I’m 29 now and I’ve watched you since your first few videos, since you were still at Mac. It’s crazy how you can feel a connection with someone you literally do not know, but it’s like I’ve grown up with you. Learning how to do my makeup through you as a teen, to now going through similar struggles as an adult honestly makes me not feel as alone. I was thinking about quitting drinking before you posted that video, and it was like God was saying it’s okay. So thank you, it means a lot more than you know. All of it
I don’t know what it is but you are glowing!!! Your content over the last few months feels so authentic and natural and we love to see it. This is the girl we missed and we are glad you’re showing up for yourself bc it shows 💕
She's sober 😂
She just made a whole video telling you what it is.
I have been clean from drugs a year and 4 months and I am so happy to see a video like this. I AM SO PROUD OF YOU ❤
Stopped drinking 1.5 years ago, also preggers now (almost 19 weeks). Best decision in my life. The sleep is amazing ❤
It doesn’t matter how much you drank, you had an issue and you have worked on it. Alcohol and drugs don’t fix any problems. Just glad you’re sober now that’s all that matters . This is coming from a recovering addict. Also coming off alcohol can be very dangerous. Always consult with your physician because it can kill you.
Very true
How does it kill you? I hear that but never knew exactly how it kills you.
It is very dangerous I worked with someone that had there neighbor come into there house and shoot it up because he cold Turkied alcohol it was a really sad situation
@@SunnyDallasRealtorthis is why during the pandemic liquor stores remained open because alcoholics can’t stop drinking cold turkey or it can kill them
@@SunnyDallasRealtormy father died from self detox off alcohol. It’s worse than detox from drugs
The sugar cravings are real after I stopped drinking!!! That being said I am so grateful to be sober.❤❤❤
This is an enormous feat and accomplishment. Many people have tried and not been able to do this and your testimony is so inspiring. Congratulations on the progress and your journey! Your honesty is going to help so many people
Thank you so much wow 🥹
To everyone that is in recovery congratulations! Those that are having issues on and off don’t give up come trying! You can do it!❤
I love that you’re sharing this! It’s crazy the amount of people that could potentially be experiencing similar situations & you are opening minds to consider things in a different perspective.
I've been drinking every day for at least 16 years. Jaclyn, you are such an inspiration! I'm coming up on 30 days no drinking. I'm finally feeling good and it's all because of your first video about quitting drinking. I couldn't have done this if I hadn't watch that video. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for sharing with us! Life will just keep getting better from here!
Almost 30 days myself after drinking the last 6 years! It is so worth it, keep up the hard work!
This is so awesome, great job❤️ I hope your journey is still going well!
Jaclyn, u literally hit ALL the points. I tried it, went 5 weeks straight with no alcohol and then decided I wanted a drink. Let me tell you. ✋🏻 my body really said no. The day after anxiety and gastrointestinal upset… honestly I was like, WTH that was so not worth it. So much more invigorated towards this decision to care for my body. In all the ways! ✨ thanks for the very real Inspo.
Jaclyn you are a completely different person! I’m taking my six month chip next week and am as well. From one accountable, thriving human to another… get it girl! ❤💯
Hell yeah girl!!! You get that chip! I love it!!!! Thank you ❤❤❤
@@Jaclynhill1 💕
As someone who has struggled with sobriety and had some practice, I’d like to add a few tips..
1. Community! Find yourself a sobriety group! Gone are the days of AA being the only choice around. Check out The Luckiest Club, Women for Sobriety, or Tempest. There’s many more to choose from. Meeting are virtual and they offer education. I find I get through those first few months and then I get comfortable…that’s when I slip. Having community can really help here.
2. For readers - Quit Lit! One of my favorites is ‘Quit Like a Woman.’ Laura McKowen has written two amazing books and is also the founder of The Luckiest Club.
3.If you’ve been drinking heavily for a long time - seek out your doctor.
Thanks for sharing your story and for your courage. You are likely helping a lot of people. ❤
Jaclyn, I’ve been a follower for 10+ years now. I love your content but when I say this is the most helpful video you’ve ever put out, I’m not lying. Had a lot of stress over the past few years (family members dying, was unemployed for several years, my daughter had some health issues) it’s been A LOT. But this inspired me to make a much needed change. Thank you for being so vulnerable, open, and honest with your followers. This will help SO many people! So happy for you! You look amazing and the fact you can share your own journey with others is incredible. Thank you!!
I’m obsessed with these. The thing I love the moat is, there’s no selling us anything. It’s just Jaclyn telling us about her life. Feels like a friend.
Girl did you miss the sleep tea ad at 10 min? Sober jaclyn is still jaclyn, she will find a way to make a buck.
Jaclyn, we are the same age and I gave up alcohol 16 months ago! Best decision I have ever made for myself. My life is better in every single aspect. Weekends are spent in a meaningful way now and not nursing hangovers and full of shame/regret! Thanks for making this video ❤
Congratulations
This was THE most helpful video I’ve ever discovered in terms of achieving sobriety, weight loss, and positive lifestyle changes all in one. Seriously, you are such a role model and this is your niche. Please keep doing videos like this!! You are doing the Universe’s work🫶🏼 And Jordan is a great wingman, so supportive. You should do a series together on healthy, low carb meal adaptations for popular “unhealthy” comfort foods. Here for it!❤
Your video popped up at the right time girl! I was feeling so unhappy - unfulfilled, from drinking and smoking. Thank you for being so open about it, because of your video and your honesty, I'm now a month sober xo
You’ve inspired me to cut out alcohol and every aspect of my life is changing. Been following you since 2014 and your new glow is so inspiring! 🥰
I haven't seen you this genuinely confident in a long while. It is great to see you being more authentic.
Jaclyn, your videos were the first “no alcohol / sober curious” videos that I’ve found and truly related to 100%! I’m 29 and decided on 4/22/23 to stop drinking cold turkey and it’s been absolutely life changing.
I think your point about not trying to do too many things at once is crucial! When I quit drinking, that was my only focus. Now I’m focusing on exercise and diet but that was only after my confidence was built up with not drinking.
Also about your organization project/finding new things to do is spot on! I finally completed my office re-organization project and felt so accomplished during my first month no alcohol.
Have a great week! ✨
I have been three years sober, and I will tell you- it changes everything. Your scope becomes so much clearer. Thanks for making this video. I wish you the best for the new year, too!
I absolutely love that you, as someone with a huge platform, is sharing this amazingly powerful message. I was saved by Jesus in 2022 and stopped drinking in 2023. Life is so much better on the other end and I love to see people use their platform to promote things like this. Our society is very unwell and you hit it on the head with it not only be accepted, but promoted. Love you and thank you❤
I really appreciate you doing this series. I have an emotional eating problem. I have been trying to heal my relationship with food. I still can’t eat junk food without going too crazy. Your health tips always helps so darn much. I love your poached eggs recipe, ceviche, Etc. Your such a bright light and pleasant to watch. You change people’s lives, because you make people feel like they have a friend. Thanks girl.
Ceviche is perfect for the summer ❤
Same!!!! 😢
You are a completely different person! So much light and you just look amazing! I’m so happy for you. I am drinking less and less to hopefully not drink at all.
Today is the day I’m putting alcohol down and I’ve never felt more excited for this journey thank you so much for these videos it really and truly does help people and I’m so proud of you!!!! Keep up the great videos and work❤🎉
You won't regret it. I can promise that. Its going to be super hard at first but live with the discomfort and everything will fall into place. I've drank constantly for the past 6 years due to depression and personal issues I attempted to quit twice and relapsed. I'm almost 1 month in again and for the first time I actually have the true motivation and mindset to never drink again. Thinking about tequila genuinely makes me sick and I'm so happy for that. I can finally be the mom my two kids deserve and the wife my husband deserves. I'm only 28 I don't want to waste the rest of my life not being present and harming myself. Keep up the great work you totally got this!
you consistently inspire me, when you shared that you struggled with alcohol and it made me question my relationship with it. Long story short I started my sobriety journey 48 days ago! I feel like I'm not alone in this journey, thank you for being so brave and sharing your journey for all of us! 💕
I gave up alcohol for my weight loss and health journey 7 years ago and don't miss alcohol one bit! it was the best decision I ever made for myself!❤️
I just wanted to say I loved your video. I've been alcohol free for 108 days now and have watched MANY videos of people talking about their AF journey, and yours is definitely my favourite! So, just wanted to say thank you :)
Yes queen! I am a mum of 3 and about 4 months ago, I joined the gym . Best thing I ever did for my health xxxx
I’m so proud of how you are turning your life around, you went through multiple traumatic situations not only personally but in the public eye and that’s unimaginable. Your positivity and consistent strive to better yourself is so motivating and I really appreciate you being so open about this chapter in your life💕 much love to you and your family!
Your blush placement and color is iconic in this video 🤌🏼 thank you for being open to sharing parts of yourself again Jaclyn. I’m so excited to see what’s to come!
"Going out and getting shit faced is not something to be proud of" ...wow... yess! Love this. I have been leaning towards quitting alcohol. I don't even drink that much anymore but for some reason it still feels hard for me to say I completely quit. I literally said today to my brother , I want to find fun things to do that doesn't require or is around the environment of drinking! Love these videos, thank youuuuu! Love how real you always keep it. 😘
I can’t relate to anything Jaclyn is saying since I don’t deal with alcohol addiction myself. But I can’t help to feel sad and sorry for all the people that do, I hope you guys find the strength to get better and enjoy life. Sending love to all the people that are going through hard times ☺️
I was 2 weeks sober when you posted your first video about this and it pushed me to keep going, now im almost a month sober from drinking and smoking I’m so excited to go in this journey with all your tips, I always struggled getting in the gym and fixing my diet so I’m so excited for what’s to come! Thank youu for sharing 🩷
Jaclyn! I see it in your face-you lost so much weight. God is good. Girl YOU Did that!!! 🎉🎉🎉 patience is key and consistency. I’m on my weight loss journey and I’m so glad u never gave up on yourself. Happy thanksgiving to u and your fam. 🙏🏽
Her face is still huge
The video I needed! I recently just quit alcohol. I love this new version of you. You’re glowing! 💖
HELLO BEAUTIFUL I HAVE FOLLOWED YOU SINCE 2018. And I couldn’t be more happier and proud of you. Love you
Wow, I am so proud of you and you have definitely inspired me! I’m 71 and really wasn’t a big drinker, it would really make me sick. Then my husband died of brain cancer and to cope I decided to drink wine. Not a night goes by that I don’t have several glasses and I really don’t sleep that well. I’m going to try your “tips” and see if I can sleep well again and lose some of this weight! Thank you for all your help on this journey! ❤️❤️❤️
I’m so happy for you! I have followed you since the beginning and I’m so happy to see you happy and healthy again! I love you! Keep going.
You’ve inspired me to do dry January after drinking nearly every weekend for like 10 years!
I am not a big drinker but I'm definitely a soda addict. This video definitely resonates with me. Congrats on your success and journey. Motivating me to start my own.
Same here!
You and me both! An ice cold Coke is my coffee!
I am 8 years Cigarette free. I still think about it and sometimes want one. I am so happy for you and this journey for you. Keep pushing through. Oh and get paint by numbers, its a coloring book for adults!!!
You inspired me to go sober, I got the calendar and everything and so far it’s going great! Thank you for posting these videos!❤
This is amazing! I am struggling so much at times with no alcohol. PLEASE keep this going. PLEASE!
Good for you girl! ❤🎉 I’m 18 months alcohol free and feel amazing!
So thankful that you bring us along for the journey. You don't know how I am going through the same thing as you are and you help me so much!
as an adult i’ve gained trouble sleeping and i started using beam because of you when i saw it in a past video and it’s the ONLY THING that works for me and doesn’t make me feel like sh*t the next day.
i’m so proud of the journey you’re on, jaclyn. you’re doing amazing things!❤
You remind me now so much of my best friend who hasn’t had a sip of alcohol in over 12 years. She always has her “treats” and special ways of making herself feel good. I’m not much of a drinker myself, but it’s so important to have goals for yourself and I’m happy to see that you’re so proud of yourself and on the other side!
I’m just so stinkin’ proud of you! I was really inspired by your last video and then seeing this one was just eye opening to me. Honestly, I NEEDED to see this today. You have no idea. I’ve added all the suggestions to my Alexa shopping cart! I want to feel like you are now! Now, I’m excited to start “Ashton’s Journey!” 🎉❤😊
Girl, YES! God willing, I will have 4 months on the 18th!!! We got this!
Am so proud of you!!!! From 2016 to now. Love love any and all videos you post!!! Love learning from you. You are such an inspiration!
Thank you soo much for posting these videos!!! I’m 2.5 weeks without a drink! And you’ve inspired me to go sober! I’ve been curious for a while but had soo much anxiety over quitting. I cannot thank you enough! ❤
I’m so glad this video came up I quit drinking the beginning of this month and I started to get this anxious feeling especially because thanksgiving is tomorrow and I had that thought maybe one glass of wine won’t hurt but your video popped up 🥹 I’m not going back! Thanks for sharing your journey 🙏🏾
I’m trying to quit edibles and I just want to say how much I appreciate this video. I’m actually crying because it seems so doable. I’m going to try my best ❤
Decided to take this journey on too💪🏽 it literally has no benefits for us, and like don’t we want to be in this earth as long as possible and healthy as possible? LOVE IT!
I gave up drinking August 13 of this year. BEST DECISION IVE EVER MADE ♥️ these videos have come at the perfect timing for me. So proud of you (us) ! 🎉
You don’t understand how impactful these videos are. Thank you for sharing & inspiring 💛
You are literally glowing! So happy for you. I am so proud of you and the work you’ve put in to improving yourself and using your platform to help improve the lives of others. ❤
Girl let me just say you will be SO thankful you made this choice when and if you and Jordan choose to start a family. My husband and I said constantly throughout the first year of our kid’s life “can you imagine waking up this many times in the night and being hungover?” You will be so much better off for it.
It's amazing how things become habit and you don't even have to think about them anymore. I relate to your experience of not needing the stars after a month and a half because when I started fasting / eating well to lose weight the hunger cravings went away after a short time and it (shockingly) got easy.
I’m glad you got sober. I’ve been clean a little over 2 years now.
Jaclyn I’ve been following you since maybe 2014 and I just want to say I am so proud of you ! We’re friends girl, we’re friends ! 😂
No you're not
@@OatCakes101 hey Rosie, stay in your lane babe. You could have lived you’re entire life without replying to my comment
It is so heart-warming to see how in love you are with feeling healthy. Love this content.
I’m so glad that you’ve gotten your alcoholism in a place of recovery.
Addictive personalities have a hard journey but it can be so healthy and fulfilling.
Next is to examine other areas in your life (such as shopping and emotional eating) - healing isn’t linear but very possible!
I’ve always loved you but wow seeing and FEELING the way you love yourself is magic. You are radiant and I feel so grateful to witness your journey. Thank you for being such a positive light for the world.
It’s so dangerous how much you realize you drink until you see a video like this and it literally slaps you in the face. I’m going to try and do this for my daughters and I. Maybe my husband will see it himself. Thanks for this wake up call!
Ohhhh sweety you look so good. I’m so proud that you turned your life. You’re a beautiful person. Down to earth and real. It’s been a rollercoaster your journey, but you living your best. Just keep looking forward!!! ❤
So proud of you Jaclyn!!
I’ve watched you for at least 10 years and I’ve seen your ups and downs that you put out there which I know is scary on its own. I have to say that I’ve been so proud of you just as a person through it all. Even the bad times. Your heart showed through it all to me no matter what people had to say. No one, and I mean NOBODY, is perfect and we all go through like fucking up and getting better and round and round until we learn and the hard days eventually become less and less.
I’m a year and a half sober. It does get soo much easier over time. Just last week though I had a weak moment and just wanted to drink…too get fucked up mind you!…and I just didn’t. I thought about how far I’ve come. My son. My health. My mental health. You are and always have been an inspiration to watch and learn from. And remember, the people who harshly judge you and are just negative, have shit they’d never put out for everyone to see. I love you. And I’m hella proud of you my girl!! ♥️♥️
Congratulations keep on doing it one day at a time one minute at a time you can do it
So happy for you!! ❤ Cutting alcohol isn’t always easy, but it’s so worth it!! Keep it up girly. 🎉
Jaclyn, don't let them take your peace. I miss seeing you! I want to know what you love this season, what's in your purse, what sweater you're rocking, etc. You are missed. Let yourself be your wings, you've always been Enough!
When I quit drinking I gained 7kg in the first month, but then it just fell off me! She’s right, if you have to eat to stop I promise it’s worth it.
Jaclyn you could tear out the month of august from the calendar and frame it as a gift to yourself. I’d frame it and put it somewhere private where you do self care, like in a closet, bedroom, if you have a gym in the home. Just a reminder that you DID IT and can do anything you set your mind to.
Jaclyn has gone from our beauty guru to life coach 🔥👏🏻
Which I think is a good thing we need more real life coaches that could help us with drinking and people who have alcoholism.
🤦♀️
I’ve been feeling this strong intuitive nudge to cut out alcohol again. I was sober curious most of 2020, and have sort of let it creep back into my life more regularly again. In 11/1, I decided to take another extended sabbatical from booze, and I’m 22 days in, and feeling AMAZING!
Alcohol free cheers 🥂 to the next 22! 😅
Girl, you need to admit that you had an alcohol problem to start with because it’s seemingly all you talk about. Let me tell you from someone who’s been sober for a very long time if you have a drinking problem, which you did the only way to quit alcohol is just to quit and go to meetings.
I wish she would say she’s an alcoholic. She’s contributing to the stigma by sugar coating it.
I'm 31 now and I have been watching you since I was like 19 I believe when I first started wearing and really getting into makeup. Jan 3rd will mark my year mark of no drinking and I honestly wasn't as proud of myself as I should be until I saw this!! I'm so emotional! You've been one of my favs for so long so it means so much seeing your journey. Like it's literally Nicki Minaj then you. Lol. Literally! Thank you so much for sharing this and thanks for always being here for us through your videos.
I love being Muslim and knowing that it’s the only religion that has made alcohol forbidden. It’s such a blessing seeing all of these celebrities coming out about sobriety and how good they feel because of it. It just makes me love my religion even more. Islam is a way of life and anyone that follows it is so content because everything in Islam is for society’s benefit ❤ Thank you God.
I feel the same. When I was younger I used to feel sad that I couldn’t join in with the fun and drink with everyone. I thought I was missing out, but actually now I realise I only really missed out on hangovers, addiction and embarrassing myself.
I love this. I come from at least 3 generations of alcoholics and never been a huge drinker because of it. After watching your first sober video, it inspired me to cut alcohol out completely even though I barely drink. I suffer with low grade depression and if me drinking 1 or 2 drinks a every few months negatively affects my mental health, it's really not worth it for me at this point. You look great, you seem happy, healthy, and motivated. I'm glad you're sharing this with the world. I love seeing you be so genuine in these videos ❤
I've personally never had alcohol, but I still feel empowered by this😂❤
Hahaha I love it 😂
I can’t get over the light in your eyes and the light that radiates from you. It’s back ❤
I def use alcohol when bored...more than any other reason. I'm a heavy sleeper and don't get anxious but the boredom 😮💨😮💨😮💨 Thanks for continuing to share this journey with us. I have my sticker calendar going too. Super helpful for accountability.
🌬️✨
I struggle to get started. I'll taper down but then get scared and my drinking will ramp up. Seeing how good you look makes my wanna take the push, but it also makes me see that maybe I need help.
I want the salty deliciousness of an XTRA dirty martini but OMG I do NOT want a buzz. I havent drank in 3 years and nver felt better. I also sleep wayy better as well.
I appreciate you sharing this so much! I’m on my 2nd round of quitting alcohol. First time I went actually about 4 months and then just like you went back to what I would call “a healthy relationship with alcohol” and girrrl you’re so right there really is no such thing. At least not for me. Our situations are so similar it makes it soooo much easier to have someone to follow that is super relatable. I have alwaysssss ran straight to alcohol whenever I felt stressed, anxious (ESPECIALLY ANXIOUS) I couldn’t function in social settings without it. And all these tips are life! They are tried and true and they help tremendously! So proud of you. I’ve followed you forever and you have NEVER looked or sounded happier than you are right now! We should all do a “no alcohol” challenge and support eachother! 💪🏼🎉
If people in this comment section are drinking heavily (ie more time drunk than sober, needs alcohol morning/afternoon/night, etc.) PLEASE see a professional before quitting cold turkey. Someone in my life had a seizure after quitting drinking cold turkey. It’s scary shit. See a doctor before making drastic health changes!!
THANKYOU THANKYOU FOR SHARING YOUR STORY! you make me feel not alone...my anxiety runs my life and exactly what you said you have to put yourself first ....your an a true inspiration never stop! I'm fighting EVERYDAY TO STOP ....SO AGAIN THANK YOU 🙏 YOU ARE A TRUE INSPIRATION ❤
You’re kidding right? You’re trying to stop drinking yet you have a full bar at your disposal. Not trying to be rude but that’s alcoholic rule number one get rid of all the booze. If someone lives w u that drinks they should be willing not to drink around you out of support. It’s kinda like the saying if you go to the barber shop your gonna get a haircut sorry it just isn’t smart one bad day walking by that bar could ruin everything your trying to accomplish. As the queen of relapse make it as hard as possible. Obviously alcohol is everywhere but don’t keep it at home where sometimes you might get bored.
Sorry if that came off rude I kinda just thought it was a funny at first but then realized how happy you seem and how dangerous that is. Congrats on your sobriety.
Thank you for being open and honest. I went from drinking on weekends only, to drinking everyday after work but only 1 to “unwind”, and now I am currently drinking every night to the point I’m either tipsy or drunk. I feel like my life is spinning out of control and I’m afraid of stopping or feeling empty when I do. It’s a struggle but I do want to be healthier- will be ordering pretty stickers and a calendar! Thank you Jaclyn ❤️
