[@CD-zy5te]

Dear comment lurkers, You are not alone and this is a great community here at getting sober. We care about you , please dont stop trying! I found jae's channel on night 30 and today i have now reached 1 year of sobriety. Come say hi at our livestream sometime!!!!

[@Summer1357_love]

Hi 👋, I'm so blessed to have reached your channel. It takes a lot for me personally to listen to someone at all. Because sheeple don't entertain me. I'm so so so so happy that you exist Jae. Please never change. 🙏 ❤

Hey everyone started my journey 9 days ago,, at 62 drinking 5 to 8 beer everyday , and trying to workout,, well it wasn't working very well, the biggest thing is the whole "feelings " thing , and my sleep is jacked for sure, but I feel better in spite of this, it's worth it, keep me in your prayers

[@GettingSoberAgain]

Prayers on the way! in the meantime, Here's the playlist to our most recent episodes! kzbin.info/aero/PLddHUddS-QQjIYyRNl-E3bkOiEWWIZtEt

[@Fartboy226]

Youre in my prayers, im going on 8 weeks sober and i just randomly started feeling sick after watching people needing liver transplants and i realized and was literally feeling that i was so close to that.

[@traceykaminsky6857]

Day 4. Bought a drink while listening….. spent an hour considering things while listening. Dumped it in the grass. I beat it. Making a smoothie, hopping in the shower, and going to have a good and productive day and make it to day 5. 🎉

[@GettingSoberAgain]

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS LETS GOOOOOOOOO!!!!! Another POWER notch on your sober belt hell yeah!

[@CD-zy5te]

I think I became a better representative of sobriety! I may have influenced 2 neighbors who dont even know each other to give quitting a try just because they observed how happy and healthy and how quitting has had a positive impact in my life 😁

[@celiciathomas5013]

I saw on another site that giving up alcohol is easier than keep trying to give up alcohol. I thought that broke it down easily.

[@lUZiiV]

Sunday morning, I woke up early today to do some house chores while listening to this video. Today is my day 35 into sobriety, over a month already. Your videos help a lot, Jae. Keep up the wonderful job. Greetings from Mexico!

[@GettingSoberAgain]

Awwww awesome!! I was up at 530am and I was out of breakfast food but the first grocery store didn't open until 8am. Thanks for reaching out and congrats on your sobriety. We will be doing a Livestream tonight at 7pm eastern. Stop by if you can and say HOLA!!!

[@SamEspen]

Hey Luz! How's your journey going? Would love to hear about it. :)

[@justjul1a]

I really resonated with how much free time you have when you’re not constantly in drinking/recovery mode. I never realized how much time I wasted sleeping, feeling like shit, partying and repeating that cycle. I have so much new found energy and motivation to get things done and surprisingly enough my space has gotten super clean and it’s easier to keep up with chores and actually enjoy them. I also loved “I can do everything sober except drink”. I used to think I needed alcohol to socialize but that is absolutely not the case and it’s surprising how much confidence we actually do have deep down that we doubt and mask with alcohol for that little “extra boost”. Thank you again for a great video.. you help more than you know💕

[@GettingSoberAgain]

AWWWW I love it!!! Thank you for such a thorough response, it makes me happy to hear that this content is helping you =)

[@dorseykindler9544]

This guy would make for a great professor

[@GettingSoberAgain]

[@T.K.111]

Watched this twice..missed a couple of things the first time around, apparently. Great episode! Experiencing resilience for the umpteenth time

[@jorgepulidovaladez9418]

New subscriber, week 1 of being sober. Your videos help a lot

[@GettingSoberAgain]

Welcome aboard! I happy that we found eachother! We are having a Livestream tonight at 7pm eastern. Stop by if you can =)

[@SamEspen]

Hey Jorge! How's it going? :)

[@sylvieManouvrier]

Learning from your mistake is helpful stay authentic ! Day 16 for me after more then 2 yrs sobriety now I understand sobriety come first

[@martad.3083]

@JAE Woohoo! Congratulations on 10 months 💜🤗🤩 You're an incredible inspiration!

[@GettingSoberAgain]

Good to know I still got it :):):)

[@donnagangstarsoul5523]

Im on my 2nd sober day!!!!! and its not exciting, its scary, ive never felt so alone, unwanted n overwhelmed. Are these common feelings when trying to quit?

[@GettingSoberAgain]

Yes... When you've spent your whole life modeling it around a quick dopamine release substance like alcohol, yes it's common. You have real life work to do. It's time to pick yourself up, dust yourself off and find out who you really are. It sounds scary, I know, but if you never find out who you really are, nobody else will either... Including me. SO, congrats on your day 2, let's keep the momentum going for day 3 and tonight's livestream

[@martad.3083]

Hi Donna Aries Breath. You're so right, it is scary, overwhelming!, all of that at 1st. We have all been there and know exactly how you feel. This is a safe place. I promise it gets better. Please hang in there and come back on Friday! We are here to help and talk to.💜

[@dorseykindler9544]

You can do it! I found that I needed to fill the void that drinking left with something positive. For me it was getting into great shape for my 40th birthday. Been something like four months now and honestly I hardly even think about drinking now. And I had it BAD for something like 15 years.

[@SAMEntalhealth]

Listening to this channel every morning is so amazing always been a fan of this channel that's been subscribed for a while now. You helped me get off opiates even though it's not alcohol and I love listening to what you say it's just so positive brother❤❤

[@GettingSoberAgain]

Gonna stay positive! The world and our minds can easily cross over into the dark side if we let them.

[@SAMEntalhealth]

@@GettingSoberAgain how did you handle the anxiety aspect of everything? Like going to bed at night etcetera. I've been practicing more time for 15 years but still have that Panic anxiety that I really can't shake. Even being sober it's still very hard and I don't crave opiates or anything anymore that's like a past life but I just can't shake that part.:-(

[@Knightcommander69]

The more you watch these videos, the more steadfast your dedication to be sober will become. If you are watching this, know you can be sober :D.

[@GettingSoberAgain]

Amen!

[@dianemcmahan5159]

Thank you very much Jay. 🕊

[@SAMEntalhealth]

Another thing I noticed when I got sober from opiates was that there was certain things I did enjoy a lot, while using it when I stop it's not that they became less enjoyable it's that I was looking at myself and saying when the hell would I ever be interested in something like that? And I don't mean the opiates just different things like shows or movies that my real self would not really be interested in, because I don't have that dopamine rush to cause false reality and false desires❤❤❤ play always share this page with different people so like I said one other time I hope they followed you and checked your content out I always keep your page out there for people even people on opiates your principles all matter the same❤❤❤

[@GettingSoberAgain]

There will always be people out there who will benefit from the positive vibes here on this channel. thank you for sharing...not many people do 🫂

[@joyconnell1318]

Amen! “Love your honesty!” Self-work is worth it! It’s all good; I even look in the mirror and think; you are beautiful. WHAT IS THAT? Thank you everyone working together …. 🙌🦋

“I’ve tried Everything to quit drinking… except to quit Drinking “ I freaking love this and yes, I did everything that I was willing to do.. but now I’ve made the decision and what a victory

[@GettingSoberAgain]

It's one of my favorite quotes for sure!

[@craigestory6230]

Keep up the good work young man I’m proud of you! You’ve established a great community and conversation here! One day at a time friend thank you

[@GettingSoberAgain]

Most DEFINITELY! Thank you for your support and encouragement. We could all use a reminder that we're on the right track 🫡

[@Kevin64123]

Over 4 months I seem to be handling stress better.

[@joyconnell1318]

Sorry; can’t help myself from laughing. Like going to the grocery store and ignoring isle 3 - or going to the gas station and just getting gas! Practice, practice, practice! 🤪

[@GettingSoberAgain]

lol happy to help

[@Dirty_Hamble]

I found leaving alcohol alone a lot easier once I was diagnosed with ADHD. That's easier, not "easy". Meds have helped a lot, but they only last about 8-10 hours. Exercise has also been a Godsend. It's a better buzz than booze! (Try saying THAT when you're drunk!) 🤸‍♂️💪

[@dnice2426]

Great video thanks

My Dad was famous for saying, "You want sympathy? Then go look in the dictionary between shit and syphilis." Really helpful. Lol

[@amywilde8892]

I see the video is from 2 yrs ago... are the Friday chats still happening?

[@GettingSoberAgain]

Unfortunately no. It was a considerable amount of time and effort That mostly went unnoticed and unseen

[@Summer1357_love]

Jae, I really respect you and your perspective. I pray honest to God for more people to actually listen to you. If they can only do that, wow, they would be so blessed.

[@GettingSoberAgain]

I pray everyday that no prayer goes left unanswered and that no miracle is to big to be left behind 🙏🏼
