The interpretation that came to my mind was closely tight with fear.the one that u holde within, the fear manifested in a couple of ways, u can spot it in your emotions, sure, but the taughts are what grabed the atention. At the beginning there was a taught that sparked everything, a fearful one, she was saying that she was scared of having alcoholic beverage, she was mistrustful and unsure, and the unsurnes left unintended later manifested through question of the same unsure nature directed towards other people, asking for reassurance. And the rest we know, but the so called mistake is really not the act of sipping the drink, its the fear that took over and came to realisation on the spot thet was the weakest, that u Recognized as weak and then reasured yourself in thet idea,because the reasurence was all the time wat u really need to accomplishe, it can really go in one direction or the other. I reassured my self thet, i am, or, i am not, . later u started fearing that it will rule u, and if u continue to fead it, IT probably will Anyway its really a choise, your choise. on the brite side the scene was really a grow ground, for the finale stage of letting go of the old, and the ground ispointing fingers at the lack of trust in your self,thet tought can be manifested in your fear of other people pointing fingers an you, seeing you as someone you're not and thet is where the defencive tought comes in, like a compensation and a gard of your core belefs that are put on trial by no other than your self. Soo basecly the final stage where u trust so grately in yourself that IT doest hold power ower u is something to look forward to. u learning how to stop associateing your self as an addict in sobriety , its been 10 years, its time to move on, finally. You see, the people that dont drink are felling fine after sipping something alcoholic ,, they chose to like it or don't, but the thing is it doesn't change their reality. But you'r choice regardless of being unconscious almost did, it almost put u back on AA. people thet go to AAs consider them selfs to be addicted to.. Xyz... Soo the , if u dont want to be an addict, take it upon your self to really take the power back, and youve been walking that path for some time now, it's close, you know u can manage without it, now let your self be rid of fears that keeps u tight to it. don't be scared of alcohol it does not hold power ower u, u are a person consuming a beverage, don't let a beverige consume u. As a personal side note, i once had a grate conversation with a man that said thet the truthful and maybe the only way that we get rid of addictions is if we can be in IT's presence and not react on in,we stop feeding it, eventually we'll stop notesing it. But the thing is if u truly what to get there u need to feel no fear, because fear keeps us stuck, keeps us asosiated with IT not the SELF, when really the fear that u holde regarding consumption is unnecessary because the consumption is far behinde u.. its like that one thing u sed in high school thet keeps u awake at night when really its echos are the only thing harming u, no need to relive it. It's probably some stupid thig that when we mature enough, we relase was funny and soo minor,and so full of life and choice and Experience. maybe a fun approach to the topic, just to Finnish it off, when you feel ready enough try and take one sip on purpose and feel how its just not important anymore, truly, and continue with more peace knowing u have grown..

Where is part 2 of the tree house?

I see you, and I 🫶🏼 you! Congratulations on 10 years!❤️

So as you added your extensions the new hair grown on the top of your head did you just backcomb them and rethatch the extension? also can you just leave it attached and backcomb the top ?

Hello Liz !!! Great content thank you i want to get my hair locked up and just wondering whats the bet method , back colmb and crothet or twist and rip which is better to keep the length ? ty

That's not relapse or lapse. That's a genuine mistake, honey ❤

I havent drank in 10 or 12 years... There have been a couple times during that time where I have unknowingly drank alcoholic beverages due to language barriers in other countries. Once was some indigenous drink in Colombia, and another time was in Malaysia... both times I asked if there was alcohol and I was told no. After a few sips I tasted something oddly familiar, and then I realized. I felt that heavy feeling come over my body that I hate when I drink.... It didnt really effect me emotionally. Both times I gave the drink back, and said there was alcohol in it and that I dont drink alcohol .... moved on like nothing happened. I was kinda pissed that they werent clear about it tho

You own that look. ❤

I’m glad you shared this, it gives you so much reassurance that everyone here knows it was a mistake, you are 10 years sober 💖 Don’t dwell on this, don’t let it ruin all the times you have decided to say no because although this feels so big it is so so small. Congratulations on 10 years ✨

I know I've watched this a few times and have commented probably at least a couple of times. I learn something new everytime I rewatch a video. I'm only 18 months into my journey, but being 66 I'm kind of trying to speed things up. I recently was able to add extensions to my dreads thanks to watching your videos. I only have 27 dreads. I originally had 30 but the ones ony neckline just didn't feel or look right, so I shaved them off. I'll likely redo those in another year and add extensions to this, now that I'm feeling more confident. The only professional help I've had was through the local beauty college as we don't really have many if any loctitions in NW Montana. I had mine started there and went back the first two months but have done my own maintenance ever since, thanks in large part to your help through your videos. We've talked about this before in comments in other videos. Anyway, you have inspired this old lady to push past my own limitations and get to where I am now. I can never thank you enough. How's the tree house coming. Anxiously awaiting your next video! You're my hero! Happy soon to be Thanksgiving!

Oh my...a mistake for sure. Your thoughts preceding the drink were pure, it was a mistake. I haven't drank in 8 years but I was considering having a drink thus my search for a video on the subject. Your video popped up and after watching it I will not have a drink anytime soon. If I were to have one my guilt would resemble yours, but it would be deserved. Do you see the difference? Thanks and good luck.

ENJOY COKE COLA

Anticipating the gum to meet the windshield at Mach Jesus! 😂

I always love it when Evan and Luke get together. They are just pure comedy. 😂

You didn’t relapse….. you clearly took your sobriety commitment with the utmost seriousness. I don’t even think it was a mistake, it was an accident. You didn’t choose to take a sip of the alcohol and made a mistake. You accidentally grab the wrong glass and took one tiny sip and immediately realized this was not your drink. You had an accident. Just from having this accident, try not to put yourself in situations like that again because you seem to really beat yourself up over it. I love all of your content. I’m also following you on KZbin and I’m watching all of your dreadlocked tutorials and videos. You are the reason why I wanted dreadlocks now too.

Prime example why I tip my hat to an alcoholic in recovery. ❤️‍🩹 as a junkie in recovery we don’t have to deal with this as much…. Alcohol is always around and socially acceptable.

Girl I always need to hear my man’s voice for the emotional support and motivation. You’re a beast!!!

5:55 Do it!!! I have one on my right shoulder. 💜

5:32 that fucking made my stomach drop. 😂 great view though.

I love that I found this channel after your dread channel. I always loved the idea of having dreads and in my research of what to expect I found that channel and then I started seeing videos for this channel and I can’t stop binging them. Thank you so much for sharing your life with us!❤

An honest mistake is just that, an honest mistake. But, here's some words of wisdom I once heard at an AA meeting: "Non-alcoholic beer (or "mocktails") is for non-alcoholics." In other words, sober alcoholics, who want to stay sober, have no business even doing "pretend drinking." It's that simple.

i live in nh in very beautiful i recommend going to Flume gorge up north

Oh dear 🤦‍♀️

Love this and totally agree with part one :) inspired by part two and haven’t gotten to part three yet lol just wanted to drop in and let you know I love that you are living your dream and still dreaming!!

Shit your whole story is EXACTLY what i experienced!!! And I think we even went through it at the same timeframe... im 31. And, i'm a hairdresser 😅 But instead of blond, black! And now i'm 6 months in and regretting not doing this sooner! You are also the number one girl who convinced me to just jump into the dreadlock community and girl, thank you so much!!! You are amazing! Lots of love, Evy from belguim. 🤟🫶

Did you by chance weighted all that food, how many pounds is that for the 5 day meal schedule? Can you also show what your backpack looks like. Personally, I think it would help for those that want to backpack for 5 days. How many tortilla packages do you go use?

I am getting very excited watching your videos. It’s early morning and I am heading off to work. This is my last year of work and at the end of August my dog Maggie and I will be driving from the East Coast to Colorado to hike this trail. Your video are helping me to plan my resupply days and schedule. Compared to something like the AT or LT the trail looks much less brutal. Let’s hope. Toco is a complete badass. Congratulations, yes you certainly still have it. Take care

I was told you could slack pack this section. I think you hike from Breckenridge to Copper and take the free bus back. I am not sure on the exact details but I definitely want to look into that.

Your a WONDERFUL SOUL...

Congratulations🥳🥳🥳, respect for the long time☀️😎💪🏽👍🙃😊. Thanks for sharing. I think it only made you doubt for a moment. It happens. But you deserve and you are worth living a life without addiction. Believe in yourself:)! I do. Best wishes from Bavaria:). P.S.: I admire u and love your curls❤.

I just saw this video! Love it! I'm so glad to see it. Thanks for showing "Hawk- Craing Mains" and Odie!!! I was wondering what Odie was up too. But most of all, it was really great to see you, Evan and Luke together again!! Thanks for the great video!!!

You have such a nice style ❤I wish I had a girlfriend like you. One can only hope and pray. Thanks for sharing. I want to quit alcohol, sedatives, and also potentially cannabis, although it does help me sleep without chronic nightmares. Hmm.

i love this, we have a similar dream! how does one book an appointment with you?

i can tell sobriety is very important to you. you just made an honest mistake. dont be so hard on yourself girl. <3

Do what YOU want. Don't base your life on what someone else thinks.

Good info thx. Heads up to viewers - you may want to mute the video and turn captions on, because her voice is - ya’ know, like um,a bit hard to listen to the annoying valley girl speak - like, ya’ know.

Did you use a bear canister or how did you stow your food? You should try washing your sleeping bag with Nikwax to see if it would restore the warmth and loft before you ditch it!

Oh my gosh! Total accident!!! Please PLEASE FORGIVE YOURSELF!!!

Congratulations!!🎉. I would have chickened out at that water crossing though 😂

You are super hard on yourself! This was an accident out of your control. Literally. You were distracted and did not do any part of this purposefully. Would you be this hard on yourself if for instance, you were in someone else's home and accidentally broke a really important art object to them... you would eventually forgive yourself. Weird analogy but its the same thing it's very minor (not to gaslight your feelings, but just to give perspective) and you're the only one that's judging yourself super hard. It was one sip. I think it would be much healthier (my opinion ) to process it as simply one of the unfortunate things that just happen in life that we can't control and what's important is our response to it. You absolutely did not relapse. You absolutely have 10 years that was hard work. You don't erase all of that hard work because of literally one accident one sip Youre good. You're the only one that is judging yourself right now. Go easy on yourself girl. It's all about self-love. I would stop looking to others to validate your sobriety. You know the hard work that 10 years cost you and you know you did it. You have 10 years!! Full stop. And congratulations on that!! ❤️❤️❤️

This is so overdramatised it’s was an ACCIDENT you didn’t relapse it wasn’t intentional you still got ur 10 years that’s like me having a pills addiction and having an operation and not allowing them to treat me NA most are addicts who after accidents are prescribed they are STILL clean once they give them to a loved one and take as prescribed and stop when it’s time they are STILL clean it’s not like u said f it im might as well buy a bottle of wine

Everythin gis beautiful!! Blonde dreadlocks are my favourite!!!!!!

Shit happens hun ,, you can always start over ~ Positive energy ~

Congrats. It looks good to see a plan come together.

Girl, this was an honest mistake. I thought you were going to tell us you had gotten black-out drunk on purpose, but this was honestly a single sip - on accident - and you immediately stopped yourself. It's like going to give someone a hug from behind and accidently grabbing their boob; you lr initial response is shock, then embarrassment, then apology, then brush it off and forget about it. Your journey isn't broken by this at all, your integrity is still intact, your sobriety is as strong as ever. Keep your chin up, flower, you've got this.

Give yourself grace. Your reaction and actions after your honest mistake are your true character. You didn’t use the mistake as an excuse to drink, you held on to your commitment to yourself and your sobriety. Forgive yourself and don’t let one mistake tarnish all of your hard work. 🤗 CONGRATULATIONS on your ten years. Celebrate yourself. ❤

From a long-time fan: LOVE THIS FOR YOU! 🎉

Ur awesome

Congrats. I just know it will be perfect when are finished!

Mountains called… you answered 💪🏻 congrats on finishing your 67!!
