10 proven ways to PREPARE for your SOBRIETY journey - (Episode 177)

[@BobShay]

Hats off to Jae for his non judgemental attitude and acute insight for us all 😊❤

[@GettingSoberAgain]

YOU'RE THE BEST BOB! 🙏🥹🙏

[@BobShay]

@GettingSoberAgain ...Thanks brother...I couldn't have found the will to gain back my sobriety without your help...I am eternally grateful for you & all the great people here 🥰😁👍👌

[@Knightcommander69]

My biggest tip is: Quitting alcohol won't open the gates of heaven and let you in; it will open the gates of hell and let you out. You probably won't win the lottery or instantly get a model body. However, you will be able to make the daily consistent effort that could take you wherever you want to go. It really is amazing being sober. btw, I stole the quote and have no idea from where :P.

[@GettingSoberAgain]

Love it, love it, love it!!!

[@RobinSpeer]

Love the quote...thank you for sharing.❤

[@dandtintennessee7675]

I found that life is less miserable when we quit making it miserable 🙂. At least that was my experience..

[@neilnottingham6074]

Thank you

[@BenOutThere]

It's a very good quote

[@legs_11.82]

Today was my 6th day without a drink, went to go buy some alcohol and my car didn't start. Tomorrow will mark 7 days without a drink. Thinking twice about getting my car fixed.

[@GettingSoberAgain]

You know where you want to be, you know what you need to do, and sometimes the universe works in mysterious ways! sometimes a curse can actually be a blessing. be grateful that the universe intervened, and don't take it for granted! What if one day after this life is over you have to have a face-to-face meeting with the creator, and they say to you " remember in late August of 2023 when you had that craving for alcohol, that was us that killed your car. You were just one more day away from beating this addiction for good. and you took the opportunity and ran with it. And that's why you're here now, surrounded by eternal love with all the people that you've ever known and loved. welcome" ♥️♥️♥️

[@moffatk7948]

Hope you still keeping on👌

[@bennettcurrya]

My tip is to be prepared for being so so so tired all the time before you get all that sober energy that everyone talks about

[@GettingSoberAgain]

Found this channel yesterday. Starting my journey. I work at home, I drink at home. Im alone 99% of the time. I’m drinking 3- 4 glasses of wine /night to “unwind” and numb the stress. I’m sick of it. My health issues I’ve noticed - high blood pressure, inflammation, I’ve developed swollen finger joints- like round knobs on the side of my finger joints. Any added stress is a trigger - 🤷🏻‍♀️ Im stretched to the limit of my coping skills right now. I’ve got to get better ❤️‍🩹 and live

Hear you loud and clear 👍

[@Cheryl-RD-Emeritus]

When I gave up alcohol I made sure I had something to drink in the evening that made me feel like I was having something. My go-to's are seltzer and fruit juice, or hot apple cider. Sometimes hot cocoa. Always something more than water to replace wine o'clock.

[@GettingSoberAgain]

be careful with all those liquid sugars before bed 😉

[@seanpjkennedy]

Try making some green tea, letting it cool, then decanting it into a carafe and leaving it in the fridge. You can add some lemon slices and a squeeze of honey. It’s a lovely healthy tipple

When you've been sober for a few days or maybe a week, you get out of the habit of drinking. Habit is half the problem in my opinion.

[@GettingSoberAgain]

Wise 😎

[@dragons10000]

Exactly, but then few months pass and you buy a beer or a shot or w/e and then the next day again a small one, and then again a small one. And now few days in with small amounts of alcohol the habit gets reinforced. You are hooked again. I'm at a point where the habit itself is gripping me, rather than the feeling because I don't even drink that much, no major hangovers.

[@finger351]

@@dragons10000 This is true, I've relapsed more times than I'd like to count. The trick is to just keep trying which is easier said than done.

[@dragons10000]

@@finger351 The biggest mistake I made after few months pause is I said "I will have 1 beer today, only today", and then a day or two passes and I repeat it, and then it becomes every day until I realize I'm in the ditch yet again. And going from 0 to 1 is so fucking hard

[@finger351]

@@dragons10000 Yes it is, it has to be all or nothing and you know where all leads to...for effort go all but for nothing takes a lot more work, the constant effort to stay off the poison and do your best not to relapse. You talk about the alcohol habit being reinforced but abstinence also gets reinforced the longer you stay dry, keep trying and good luck.

Thanks for this video, Jae! I found this channel a few weeks ago and it’s helped a lot. The biggest thing I have to remember is the quote at the end, “I don’t have to be perfect, I just need to make progress.” I’ve had a couple of slip ups since I’ve began my journey at the beginning of this year, but I continue to get back on that horse and continue riding. ❤ addiction sucks and it’s not easy, but I’m looking forward to continued sobriety

[@GettingSoberAgain]

well first of all, thanks for making all the way to the end of the video lol! I always struggle with where I put little nuggets of information in the video because I know that only a small percentage of people make it all the way to the end. feel free to write that quote down and put it somewhere that you can easily find it. maybe in your wallet on a post-it note right behind your ID? or maybe a fortune cookie style piece of paper and put it right in front of your ID?

🥳🥳🥳 I'm so glad that you like this video! I actually recorded it and edited it for the first time about a month ago when I was down in Florida, but I didn't like the end product. so I used the philosophies of this channel to reprepare myself, to practice, be patient and to be persistent! and I think that we both agree that it paid off 😎

[@xxAFROxx99]

I dont really drink but these videos still apply and help with my weed habits. Just replace the word drink with smoke and thats me.

[@GettingSoberAgain]

that's the way we designed them!! good thinking 😎

[@edwardwhitehead8143]

Get any and all booze out the house and replace it with zero-proof alternatives. Polar has a great ginger-lime mule flavor, and if you want a ranch water, just squirt some agave and lime juice into your seltzer. You can even get oak chips and soak them in water, and use it in place of bourbon for hot toddies and other bourbon based cocktail alternatives

[@gwillis01]

It is better to look forward to the future with hope than to look backwards with self hate. A person cannot change the past but he or she can make a plan to be more healthy and more productive in the future. Think about a big, beautiful, wonderful project you could work on now that you are not spending time being drunk and then hung over.

[@Ppiotrcieslik]

My tip of getting ready is to firstly notify the closes friends and family what you are struggling with and what they can do, so they can support you during those first days that are super tough. And so that first advice drives directly to the second one which is battle with withdrawal symptoms. Here good diet, a lot of water and vitamins and some physic activity help but it’s okay to feel strong hunger to get back to drinking. That’s where friends and family kick in. It’s really crucial to accept that there is no shame in calling them and talking through the feelings you have in that moment or asking for help. That even small talk with them really heals and in fact it shows your strength and determination in fighting for your sober self, which is absolutely outstanding

[@DS-dn4ml]

I’m three years sober now. Yes, quitting alcohol saved my life. I got three times more time for myself, my health improved, and my brain fog went away. But as someone has mentioned in the comments, it does open the gates to hell. All the problems you were looking away from, running away from, ignoring by being drunk strikes you. You can either run away again, or realize why you were drinking and face it. I did the later and hit rock bottom. I don’t regret it at all, because all there is left for me is to climb up this ditch. Every day is a struggle, but I am striving. It’s the best thing I’ve ever done.

Hey group, Recently got sober again. I went 7 months last year then thought well im fine i can control my drinking. Started back and realized boom no motivation, feel like crap, stopped getting up lift weights before work, was not the best dad and version of myself I could be. Then my wife was hospitalist with pancretitis and her liver was in trouble as well. I decided enough is enough and I stopped entirety and honestly have no desire to ever drink again. I find a lot of support and positivity from this channel and im glad i came across it. I have a question for anyone out there that might have some good advice. My wife is not as positive as I am and she sort of feels like she is missing out now because she can never drink again. Despite me pointing out the freedom we now have and how much better she will feel once she fully recovers. Im having trouble getting her to seek out support and her finding a no judgemental group she can relate to. Any advice?

[@GettingSoberAgain]

I would say to check out the IAMSOBER app. they host many online meetings per week and they may just have a few groups she can relate to. as we mentioned the video, it's important not to get trapped in the victim mentality and feeling like you're some sort of alcohol martyr. It's really easy to sulk and negativity and feeling the fear of missing out. when the reality is you can literally do everything sober except for three things: 1. Get drunk 2. did a DUI 3. have a hangover 😎

[@mowolf2620]

I'm a social worker and I specialize in addiction counseling. And yet I only managed to quit smoking (for like the 30th time) three weeks ago and I'm trying to get myself completely sober from alcohol. I don't use any illicit drugs, but I feel like a hypocrite sometimes. In a way I think my experience makes me a better counselor because I understand where my clients are coming from, but something still seems off :/

One tip I can give, based on my recent personal experience, is pick another aspect of your life that needs improvement, and focus on fixing it. For me, I went on the keto diet for 8 months and lost 50 pounds. I've maintained my weight for the 3 months I've been off keto (still keeping the carbs moderately low). More importantly, my keto journey put me down many rabbit holes regarding topics such as inflammation, metabolic heath, gut heath, carb/sugar addiction, etc. Anyway, I've been very proud of that success. Took a lot of dedication and strength. So, as I begin this sobriety journey dot dot dot again, I think to myself, "Nick, you can do this! You have the strength. You proved it with your weight loss/better health journey." Really motivates me.

[@donallan6396]

Of course, you've heard the saying " nature abhors a vacuum." When you quit drinking, you create a vacuum, but if you are willing , you are able, and with an open mind, you will fill that void faster than you thought possible .

You couldn't imagine life without toys for Christmas, or without your parents or grandparents. you couldn't imagine life without your first crush, or without childhood hobbies, best friends, or pets. The only thing that's guaranteed in life is change. Don't be the caterpillar that rejects the cocoon of transformation. We only have this one life to live. it's time to write the next chapter of the story of your life. so that you can look back at these decades and know that in just a few short months, you can close the old chapters and complete the hero's journey

[@gwillis01]

Don't think about forever. Think about one hour at a time or one day at a time. Start with baby steps. You change the peer pressure when you change your peers. Make some. friends with people who don't go to taverns or bars.

[@edwardwhitehead8143]

Then don’t! Start small and ask yourself, “do I need this now? Or do I just want it/ am I conditioned to want to go for that drink?” It’s gonna be uncomfortable for a bit, but that’s your body repairing itself. As long as you’re not having seizures and DTs, a little bit of discomfort is unfortunately par for the course, but you got it homie! Even small changes are important and a step in the right direction!

Loose estimate on how much I spent on alcohol since I started drinking. Probably not even close to accurate since I drank beer for many years, didn't factor in bars and clubs or my DUI etc but it's *$106, 287* 😳

ShaZAM that's a lotta MOolah!

[@caveman3669]

It's not going to happen overnight 🤚 but it will get easier keep a schedule but have forgiveness for the times you stray from it. Then get back up and try again and ask yourself what did I learn not to do!🙏

[@GettingSoberAgain]

You're onto something 😎

[@juliacoggins7292]

Im trying to be my best self, but part of me is trying to go sober in the hope that someone I drove away by drinking will come back. Is that a wrong thing to hope for?

[@GettingSoberAgain]

The person that you drove away is your best self. work on attaining that first before you worry about somebody else's feelings 😎 when you do it for you, that's what matters most

20 days 23 hours

[@heluvsme1st58]

5 days sober then just fell … so sad I want to overcome this foolishness in my life

[@GettingSoberAgain]

What did you learn in your 5 days sober? What did you learn from your drinking detour?

[@MistaTea247]

Bro MistaTea is still sober

[@priscillakostura2064]

How R U Doing?? I’m now sober 8 months- and just Divorced. 🥰 Remember me??

[@GettingSoberAgain]

Congrats twice 😁

[@gwillis01]

Please remember there is more than one way to deal with frustration, anger, sadness, etc. Please use positive methods instead of self destructive ones.

[@trevorthompson5776]

The 10 method wouldn’t work for me. No way once I start drinking all reason goes out the window. And counting isn’t an option

[@GettingSoberAgain]

So whatcha gonna DO brother??

[@Bwb810]

Good Lord, I’m spending $2500.00 plus a year 😬😭

[@GettingSoberAgain]

sounds like a plane ticket and hotel to Hawaii every year down the toilet 🤷
