I'm ready to keep going 7 days atm

Watched yourvideo for the first time streaming today Exactly what I needed to hear very powerful video you're talking about how your relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ helped your sobriety journey very powerful I'm so glad I found you can't wait to see all your videos thank you and God bless 🙏❤️ Oh yeah I have been struggling with the recent relapse after 4 years sober Looking for a positive Video to relate with what I'm going through I am sure your videos are going to be a big part of me getting back on track you are a blessing God is good 🙏

Ready to keep going I’m almost 3 days more or less😊

Watching your videos daily, changing my life with positive habits and reminders that alcohol or drugs are not for me. 😊

They actually did a study with rats that showed beef fat did something to protect the liver

So informative, thank you.

It has been TOUGH.....I definitely started questioning it, how can this be better? Ive wanted to go back many times....but why at this point....? I understand that i am aware now, aware of what years of bad decisions and alcohol abuse has left me with, not much.... facing that in the beginning was brutal. But reality, nonetheless.... So now i take it literally, day by day. Some are better than others....but im noticing my ability to cope with situations that i would freak out about, are getting easier...and its not that big of a deal. It feels like waking up from a coma for me.....reality is that sometimes, life IS boring...!!.😅 But its not the end if the world.... Its a slow process man.....but its getting better 😅

Doing Dry January so almost a month in and feeling the best I felt in years. I’m planning to keep it going as I’ve found no physical dependency, it just became a habit. The restlessness and hang-xiety just became too much, and like you said the fatigue was a constant struggle. I’m actually looking forward to my next blood test to see if my liver enzyme numbers have improved, to the shock of my doctor!!

alcohol the most dangerous substance in the world.

Hello 👋

Almost through Dry January and I can’t even believe I made it this far. That last one on the list - 🥹 realizing that my past is my past just hit me. I don’t ever have to go back to that dark place. I never ever thought I’d get past that point.

I just did a week🎉🎉🎉🎉. About a half a gallon of vodka every day and I just did a whole week off and feel way better for even this short period of time. I have tried to stop drinking for over 10 years. I’ve probably tried to stop drinking every other month and failed every time.

I haven’t drank in a week. I usually drink about a half a gallon of vodka a day have been for the past 10 years then trying to quit for about 10 years hoping this time I can do it and stay off of the damn alcohol. It is ruining my life.

Thank you Jae. After a bottle of liquor a day for the last 10+ years I'm finally committed to my sobriety. I've had one drink 3 days into January with a friend who invited me over for dinner. I'm really disappointed that I caved to the peer pressure, especially given that I took non-alcoholic beer with me to drink. My resolve hadn't been locked at that point, clearly. Tjat failure has only encouraged me further and added fuel to the fire. As a long time heavy drinker I put an astrix on Jan 3rd, given that Idid try to refuse and only had the one beverage. It still counts, I know that, but I'm choosing to forgive myself and looking to the future. I won't be caught off guard again. I did a telehealth appointment with my local doctor a few days later and medically detoxed off alcohol with the help of medication and daily calls from my doctor to check in on me. With minimal effort and moderating my diet, I've lost 3kg so far. I feel more confident, less irritable, I'm sleeping better, and I have so much more energy. Thank you Jae for this channel and community. I'd be lying if I said that yours are the only videos I watch, I follow 3 other channels. But I really like how calm and open you are. Your videos cover topics that interest me and ive been watching them almost daily this 1st month of January 2025. From a bottle of vodka a day to nothing seemed impossible only a short while ago. With the support of you and this community, I know I can stay strong and leave alcohol behind indefinitely. Once again, thank you Jae, and everyone else. Congratulations to you all on your sobriety, wherever you're up to in your journey. ❤

Hello Friends ! ❤ My sobriety date is Jan 1st 2025. I broke my foot that day and had been on a three week drug and alcohol binge that made me very sick. I know my liver and pancreas are suffering since when i quit i had severe abdominal pain and nausea among other horrible symptoms and a broken foot 😐 I am proud this time around because somehow i feel stronger then the last times I have tried. Everytime I quit I crave sugar so badly. It can last up to 6 months after and then i seem to be able to change my ways. This time i am being patient since i dont want to go back to stimulants and alcohol to feel better, instead if i stay sober one day at a time i can get through the sugar cravings sooner then later. Cant wait for my foot to heeal so i can exercise again. Grateful for this chanel and this sober day. May you all have one more day of sobriety under your belts. ❤ God bless.

I lost my best friend, not really. He saw me alcoholic and borrowed 20, 30 k over the years. Never paid me back when I asked. Ohhhh,,,,,I thought we were friend…. Anyway, he lost his house, his wife, his karate school, his computer repair business He has his mobile home, his Harley motorcycle, and lifted pickup truck. Hmmm…maybe they are really mine…😢😢😢

Soon it’ll be Memorial Day weekend again. My 3rd anniversary alcohol free ❤❤❤🎉🎉 365 x 3 yrs 1095 day, nights without a drink 156 weeks That 156 box wine And 156 case of beer Didn’t enter my mouth, brain, liver, pancreas, blood

New to the channel! Tomorrow will be 7days sober! For some reason last year I thought it would be a good idea to start a bar in my home and drink liquor. With many different drinks I found on you tube! Well after 50 plus years of drinking I hit bottom, It started with the shakes and I blamed it on my BP meds. I’m now 67. I was mostly a beer guy. I usually drank 6 + a day then I added two liquor drinks a day. Fortunately, I seen the light. I still work four days a week and get on the treadmill. I haven’t seen any gains in my workout in months. I’ve been watching many videos on KZbin about the effects of alcohol on the body was shocked. I found your channel and subscribed. It’s off to work. Hope everyone has a great day!

I had a detour after 18 days straight then had a six pack in day 19. Felt my liver get inflamed and my stomach was jacked up and had a hangover. I’m no where near ready to have even just a little drink. Got right back on the wagon and I won’t say that I won’t ever have a drink again but the pains were enough to remind me why I need to stop drinking or a while.

Great info Jae. I’m 25* days sober and I appreciate the stats. My health is getting better, my bank account is getting healthier and my children are benefiting from my sobriety. I’m cooking more home cooked meals for them and I feel like I’ve been gone from them for 2 years due to my daily drinking which seems crazy since I’m a single father. Now I come straight home and can’t wait to see them. Thanks Jae!

Im day 34 and Im terrified going back to 0.

1 and 2

Hey guys I’m gonna stay sober today!

Been struggling…I’ve gone two months here and now but still fall back. My buddy, who’s been two years sober said this…I love alcoholics, I didn’t understand at all until now. He meant I love alcoholics who are recovering because they know who they are. They know it’s a problem and they face it. They are self realized. I’m so close to being my best self but ya, still struggling

just found you last..late! couldn't sleep...brain would not shut off.been through an enormous amount of major traumas over the past few years.Did a ton of work, still doing it, not so much with groups anymore,more books ,you tube vids, pop in occasionally to see a counselor ive worked without not so much.I see how God or universe whatever has been leading me, but over the past year I just started diving into too much wine. relaxation, loneliness,saddness etc. but recently ive noticed im am so not who I really am. I didnt want to go back into groups, they are good but noticed towards the end of them..im not alcoolic,but on occasion I do have a problem with alcohol and very well could become one.(2 alcoholic parents) I realized over the past few months that I like when I am sober for so many reasons, as you know. ive been asking god to lead me(as always) to other helpful resources. and as always He does. I fell on a great podcast hosted by a holistic dr. that ive followed for years. HIs guest..Ian Crohn has written a book, which ill get today called the Fix. amazing,. He references the 12 steps but in such a different and more relatable way. The next night I found you, and now these really great things keep popping up regarding sobriety, but without the groups. Messages! Im so on board with getting me back in every way.. mentally ,physically ,spiritually,and to claim sobriety forever. I also realities abovezed why...why I started to drink wine again. My soul had broken apart. and although I do everything I need to do, when alone(which is 99%) the unresolved pain was catching up to me. its ok, have to feel it ,go through it, rise above it, and continue to level up. ughhh, ouch,but have to. sorry so longhand thank you for doing these vids. Now part of my morning ritual. Im done with numbing, and making plans for a daily routine to heal, grow and be better then ever. god bless you always,Constance

Day 390!!! I remember watching your videos when I was just a week into my sober journey!

2 years, 3 years, more ? Idk I lost count after

I think today is day 23. Still rocking and rolling! Focusing on my health as #1 priority, and alcohol just doesn’t fit into that lifestyle. Just for fun, I’m down 18 lbs this month! IPA does truly make you fat and sick! Man boobs are shrinking, thank god!😂

Good pointers, Jae! Both Greek yogurt and cottage cheese are good sources of probiotics as well. I used to have stomach problems, but they almost went away entirely after regularly consuming Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, and sauerkraut. And cutting out alcohol, of course 😊

There is a solution. I was drinking myself to death. I said a foxhole prayer and a couple days later I was fortunate enough to go to a 60 day rehab. I rediscovered my spirituality, my mom has her son back present in her life. I'm no longer suicidal. If you are reading this and you're desperate to quit drinking. Know that you are worth seeking help and there is a way out. I havent drank or used meth in 4 months. Give your family the gift of not watching you slowly kill yourself, you're worth it. You can do it. It's only one day at a time. Go to aa and talk to some ppl who have lived your struggles. They will be there for you. Good luck you got this ❤

I quit on a Memorial Day weekend. My daughter’s birthday wish. I don’t know when it was . I lost count after 500 days, then 2 full years. Anyway, no drinks after at least 2 years. What I miss is my tv and car that I busted up when I was drunk. Now I just read, eat, sleep. Garden, laundry, stay home, bored. I feel like I’m wasting my life

Your videos are so inspiring because they say things as they are, we are human, we make mistakes, it's important to learn from them. I would say I was a 'moderate drinker' (1-2 glasses of wine or a beer at dinner) but I have been having a few health problems and I have gained weight so drinking is not going to help. I haven't had alcohol in 10 days now and I am feeling good, I sleep better, I can concentrate more and I am starting to lose weight as well. Sometimes when I have the urge to get a drink I say to myself 'you survived yesterday without one, you can do the same today,' and it gives me the willpower to say no.

For myself so I can be someone who can have a good family

Haven’t had an alcoholic drink so far this year !!!2025!!! Feels great. Good luck to those trying. One day at a time!!!!!

90 days sober today!

I realized on my way home I was just wanting to get high or drunk, but I didn’t feel like drinking bc I know it wouldn’t be good enough, weed doesn’t really get me high it just puts me in my head and makes me worry about dumb stuff plus then I wouldn’t be able to pass a DT. Now I’m just laying in bed bored and feeling like I want to eat. But I already had like 3k calories at hideaway pizza. I have no opiates nor Kratom. And I’m just kind of bored and lonely.

Hey Jae, 25 days in and I now look forward to my green tea at 3pm instead of a pint of beer.🙃

20 months without a drink 80 weeks nothing That would’ve been 80 box wine and 80 case of beer. Which didn’t enter my mouth, liver, brain

#5 is SOO accurate (skin damage). When I was drinking, I didn’t think I had any money for skin products or facials or really any self care… but I sure had money for wine everyday! I decided I’d put the money I *would* have spent on alcohol into an account to finally invest in those healthier things. The absolutely irony of this… I haven’t actually gotten around to spending any of that money on skin products… but I am getting so many compliments! Someone even recently asked me if I had gotten Botox (nothing against it, just never have). I feel like I’m saving money… twice!

Thanks for your videos they are encouraging. I have gotten friends to join and they have started their journey as well. 😊

T r u t h saves lives. 🛟 Thank you Jae.

TY!

Bonus scary fact number 51: Alcohol increases the chance of developing 7 different kinds of cancer.

I've gotta stop drinking. 😔

On day 25! Thanks man!

So good not to have to be constantly recovering from ingesting this poisonous substance. I’m not so overconfident as to say I’ll never drink again, but I sure hope not.

hello Jae

Thank you for sharing this Jae! 😁😎

Hey Jae!! I just wanted to thank you AGAIN for the incredible work you’re doing.
