1 year and 1 month sober today! Thanks for sharing so much with us. If you’re reading this, YOU ARE CAPABLE of staying sober. It can definitely have its ups and downs but it’s soooo worth it!!
The thought of being in Italy and not drinking is so real and it resonated. Also the thought of never having a cute drink with a girlfriend again was also valid. You were mourning something that you once enjoyed. Keep going Cely ❤. Your growth is evident. 🎉
Been following you since LI. I'm a mom of a recovering addict. He's 16 mos sober and as a mom I could not be more proud of him. Extremely proud of you and will def be following your journey.❤️🙏
Anyone who doesn't support your decision is not a real friend. My mother was an alcoholic and quit cold turkey and it was the best thing she did for me as a young child. You're very strong!
Congratulations, Cely! I've been sober 1 year and 9 months as of 3 days ago. I did break my sobriety for a wedding and I know I needed it. I knew I would want to break it one day to learn if I was on the right path. I drank, didn't get tipsy and felt AWFUL the next day and I know with confidence I will walk with sobriety forever. I'm so glad to have more online personalities on their sober journey, thank you so much for sharing 🫶🏽 SO excited to see you share more sober adventures and activities 🥹💖
2 years and 4 months sober. I absolutely loved your video. I could definitely relate to some of your experiences. Getting sober was the best decision I ever made. I wish I made it sooner. Good luck on your journey! You got this.
I’m so proud of you Cely! I grew up in a similar family situation and really just afraid of alcohol/addiction. I felt really insecure in my early 20s because I felt like a boring stuck in the mud. Now that I’m two years away from my 30s I’m truly grateful I didn’t let those thoughts win. Watching my fam navigate addiction is hard, and I know how hard you worked to be sober 🙌🏽 take it all day by day and lean on your people. Here’s to the rest of your life!
Your mom is gorgeous!!! Congratulations on your 6-month sobriety!!🎉That is a huge milestone!!!And thank you for being vulnerable. (Also none of it was silly & it’s ok to cry/be emotional, all of your feelings & thoughts are valid!!) This was so healing & inspirational for me! I’ve decided to be sober for 2025, (for similar reasons as you) hoping for it to be long-term but going to take it one step at a time. Love you Celys & Thank you for sharing your journey!💕
You’re a huge inspiration! This whole video just made it so much more easier and so clear that my sober journey starts now, that i can do it thank you so much ❤
You are inspiring me to get sober. Had me crying.. that you for being so vulnerable and honest with us. You have no idea how much this video and sharing your journey with us will help so many people. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I’m so happy I found you on social media Cely!! I needed this testimony more than you know. I’ve been struggling with getting sober for years and this video gives me hope!! ❤
Lmao the "what do you mean I'm never gonna blackout again?!" is real AFFF thank you for this video I;m on day 5 and videos like this help so much! Love ur energy since your love island debut.
Thanks for sharing your journey and being yourself. Glad you didn't edit out that section because your message resonates with a variety of people. My father was an alcoholic so I was always scared to drink, thinking I would be an alcoholic. I finally started drinking when I was about 24, and it just wasn't really my thing. I was always the DD and had so much fun with my friends at the club that you couldn't even tell I was the sober one! At a young age it's the thing to do, so there was some pressure to drink to have fun, but luckily my friends accepted me how I am and still enjoyed my company if I didn't drink. Keep surrounding yourself with the right people, and don't apologize for being yourself. I think it takes a strong person to be so vulnerable to the public and not put on a fake act like everything is great. Your bubbly attitude & positiveness are enjoyable traits that the world needs. ❤
Your sobriety is encouraging and your life journey you’ve shared is beautiful. You motivate me to choose sobriety for the rest of my life 💛 With God, a sober life is possible and beautiful ✨ Stay strong beautiful! Continue to share your journey. ❤
I haven't struggle with addiction but I was raised around an addict dad and now that i was taken out of that situation really showed me a new path. And you sharing this shows that people can change
Congratulations! I love hearing your journey and so inspiring! I grew up with an alcoholic dad as well and a mother who does not drink and neither do my sisters really. I don’t really either but I love this and love supporting you ! You are beautiful!!!!!❤
So proud of you. You're a very beautiful person inside and out. I fell in love with you watching Love Island. Such a positive person and so loving. You always complemented everyone and that really spoke to me. You're just the best in my opinion.
GIRL! Cry! 😭 I’m right here with you! Your emotions are beautiful ❤ real and 🎉 I’m giving you your flowers 💐 thank you so much for existing and being you 🍯
I have been thinking about getting sober for some time and youve really been inspiring me. thank you for being so honest with us and letting us understand you a little better. love you so much.
I also have an alcoholic father. It really impacted me at an early age. I am 26 and have never had a drop of alcohol. It is very hard to stay sober at this age, so I am so proud of you for doing this for yourself!!! Sober is the new sexy lol
Celyyyy girl I love you so so much and I’m so glad that you are being true to yourself and staying sober💕💕i look up to you so much and you inspire me so much thank you for sharing your journey🫶🏼 I’ve been sober my whole life and I constantly feel judged for it so I know it can be hard.that being said I love seeing that you are doing good and I’m rooting for u 😋🫶🏼🫶🏼❤️❤️❤️
i can relate to this a little too much, thank you for this Cely. from my heart to yours, i am so proud of you & i pray that God continues to bless your life tenfold.❤️✨✝️
Take a shot of water everytime you say amazing ;) ! It’s my favourite way to have shots with my friends but it’s just water also mocktails help with feeling fancy with drinks with the friends 😊💕
Congratulations that’s amazing and very honest! I didn’t drink a lot but when I drank I drank and last year I got very drunk on my 30th birthday and then 3 years later I had surgery to remove my gallbladder and then right after that I decided to quit drinking! For me I needed something major to happen to me to get me to quit drinking otherwise I wouldn’t have! I’m very proud of myself I have been celibate for almost 15 months!
Good job! I'm from Asia, and I remember being shocked at how normalized drinking is in American colleges, and the social isolation a person can experience just from not drinking. I just want to say that a lot of the concepts/identities associated with drinking is heavily socialized. It's not coming from the self. I come from a culture where drinking is only somewhat normalized in middle-aged men's dinner tables and those are widely considered the most boring social occasions one will ever find themselves in. I know TONS of super interesting people who do not drink. I mean, if drinking is what makes people funny, relaxed, charming, etc., then there would be ZERO funny, relaxed, charming people in cultures where drinking is not a big part of normal people's life, and you know it's not true. Drinking is just one behavior that has been attached to particular meanings in one particular society at one particular period of history. It is not PART of anybody. You're Cely, and you are not what you drink.
I celebrated my first year sober-versary yesterday, 1/1/25. It has been the most liberating, freeing journey. I grew so much closer to God too. It’s okay to grieve the old versions of ourselves, but we get to rejoice in this new space where we have unexplainable peace, joy and freedom that alcohol or any kind of substance will never be able to offer. 🤍
big shout out to our girl for being strong funny amazing woman who stands as such a good influence❤
Crying🥹😭💖 I love you

I hear you Cely, ive had so many emotions after quitting. I mourn the loss of drunk me. But its a fake identity that was never mine to begin with
Not me crying real tears
Great video and Merry Christmas to you and your family This Wednesday.❤
A lot of people are very much in denial about alcohol. A majority of people do suffer from alcoholism without acknowledging it
I love u Cely ❤❤❤❤
Lack Discipline?? people who lack discipline are people who have to drink.. U GO GIRL
yes congrats!! kets be friends
Good job! I'm from Asia, and I remember being shocked at how normalized drinking is in American colleges, and the social isolation a person can experience just from not drinking.
