Awesome to hear you’re 4 months sober. I’m counting my days sober and my kids laugh at me. I loved wine and I couldn’t just have 1 drink. But it s been a week and 2 days sober and feeling great.

[@GettingSoberAgain]

Thank you! I'm wishing you all the strength

[@pillieford1204]

Keep going it's easy ... fill the habit with new habits ✨️

[@karolinamarie8943]

You're like my personal little meetings without having to be in an uncomfortable setting. Currently on my second week off alcohol and I'm still so nervous in social settings. This helped today thank you!

[@GettingSoberAgain]

Hey my pleasure!! Thanks for letting me know your progress, it's as meaningful for me to get comments as it is for you to watch these videos! 2 weeks is a solid milestone.... I found that between 2-3 weeks was the time that I had large gaps between cravings and felt like I had control over it. Good luck today and I hope to keep hearing from you

[@jacqui4green]

Good luck Karolina! Thank you for being so honest and sweet. 😘

[@karolinamarie8943]

@@jacqui4green thank you!! You aswell.🤗

[@jacqui4green]

Thank you for being so upfront, authentic and not sugarcoating the reality of unchemicalized daily life. Take heart, your videos are obviously helping people--- look at the increasing numbers on your channel. Hey, maybe some pizzaz and novelty would help. Vacation in the sun, try new and scary activities, blitz out on cardio, etc. May all of us struggling humans find equanimity somehow.

[@GettingSoberAgain]

My friend!!!! How are you! I miss your comments :) I did try to go a little harder on the cardio today. We are actually on a sun streak...might get 4 days in a row haha

[@jacqui4green]

@@GettingSoberAgain I'm still here, watching and appreciating every vid. Hope the sun lasts, hope ur mood lifts! 🌞 & 🏃🏽‍♂️.

[@bulliongrowernz1975]

400 subs and 4 months baby!...Great news and your video quality rocks, love the positive energy, I come here for that. Dig you telling us about your journey...Pro tip...Always have a story arc...Cheers

[@GettingSoberAgain]

Thanks so much!! I am celebrating 6 months today, $4000 saved, and approaching 3k subs!

[@gwillis01]

Congratulations on your sobriety

[@chadh917]

Thank you! Your videos are helping me with my venture to stay sober, again. I'm ditching the weed too. I don't like returning to dreaming though; for the most part my dreams are stressful, hopefully that will change with some time.

[@GettingSoberAgain]

Hopefully as your life continues to improve so we'll the quality of your dreams! I just got back from California last night and woke up to 5 inches of snow here in Ohio so I felt like sleeping in... Unfortunately that lazy decision followed me into my subconscious and put me back into working at a job that I hated and actually quit three times, to which I had two then quit a fourth time LOL. One of the things that we do with alcohol is use it to substitute real life stimulation with artificial stimulation. We tend to avoid our responsibilities with alcohol, which can lead to a lot of anxiety and depression and terrible dreams! Please keep us updated on your journey

[@markskof8483]

I really needed this video today. 80 days today and the last 10 have been tough. Definitely past the honeymoon phase. I can relate to so much of what you say..... love it

[@GettingSoberAgain]

Wowza, good thing I recorded this 4 years ago for you 😎 Click here to BINGE watch another one of our LATEST videos 😀 kzbin.info/aero/PLddHUddS-QQjIYyRNl-E3bkOiEWWIZtEt

[@barbarahermannster]

You have been of great help to me. Thanks for all your hard work and know that you are doing good in the world.

[@GettingSoberAgain]

I appreciate that! These kind of comments keep me going =)

[@T.K.111]

You present some great points...I sang professionally for years, but I couldn't drink for my anxiety or I would forget the lyrics. My anxiety wasn't being on stage it was walking into the bar

[@Eriu-88-88-]

Keep fighting the good fight brother. Thank you

[@GettingSoberAgain]

Thank you, I will

[@pillieford1204]

4 months sober is showing and teaching me what I do not need or want in my life . I fill the gaps with building my myself through self realisation. I have also learnt that life can be a repetitive cycle, and this realisation has also helped me to understand that you can fall into bad habits, which can destroy everything good in one's life through the negative downward spiral habbits .

[@GettingSoberAgain]

Well said!!! 🤓

[@markspann]

yes physically feeling better DONT want to loose it

[@1dantown]

420 subscribers. Not implying anything. Seriously, quitting alcohol feels like _Winning_ _the_ _frickin'_ _lottery_ .

[@GettingSoberAgain]

Lol... Yeah I hit 420 after recording this!!

[@zakfrisch2997]

Thanks for the continued content, man. Was holding off on this video until I was closer to 4 months! Now I'm a week away and decided to dive in!

[@GettingSoberAgain]

Oh awesome! How has your sobriety evolved around this time for you? I remember it was about this time that I felt comfortable going back to old hangout spots like bars to play pool, or go out to eat.

[@Moorethanjustdudes]

Great videos you deserve so many more subscribers :)

[@GettingSoberAgain]

What an awesome compliment! Thank you for keeping it real

[@alieciacampbell8291]

25 days! I feel great. Thank you for your fun and informative videos!

[@GettingSoberAgain]

Well thank you for your positivity! congratulations on 25 days. you should be very proud of yourself. How many of our videos have you seen so far? Here's the playlist to our most recent episodes! kzbin.info/aero/PLddHUddS-QQjIYyRNl-E3bkOiEWWIZtEt

[@24mbronc]

Thank u so much for your openness and transparency. Your a joy to listen to! I personally was a daily drinker for roughly 15 years until I quit in December of 2019. It was extremely tough and eventually went on anti anxiety and depression medication. I eventually went off them and remained sober for about 6 months. I eventually relapsed for about a year and a half until about 4 and a half months ago when I decided to quit for the second time. I will say that it hasn't been as difficult but it still has been rough. I still suffer from anxiety and depression at times but at least I don't have the intrusive thoughts like I did the first time around. I too was teased and picked on but for my weight. I didn't have a lot of friends as a kid but rather only had a few close ones. What makes it difficult for me is not having friends to talk with that are my age. The few friends I had were drinking friends so they are no longer in my life. I'm a very guarded person when allowing others to get to know me personally but really desire that relationship at this point in my life. I just wanted to thank u for sharing your story in the personable way in witch u did.

[@GettingSoberAgain]

Thanks for stopping by and sharing your story too! That's the importance of community, so that we all don't feel so alone in alienated in our journey. sometimes we have to be reminded that there's other people like us out there, even if they're not in our immediate circle or friend group or community. feel free to stop by and leave a comment anytime. I try my best to respond to everybody daily! including today, I can probably say that I have zeroed out my inbox as they say

[@gwillis01]

Use as many tools as you need for self improvement. Using three or five techniques at once may be what you need.

[@cameronpickard7456]

good luck to you you r doing it and making me want to do it.thankyou.

[@GettingSoberAgain]

All aboard!!! 🤗

Day 1 here. Previously did 30 days, and your milestones and description of the 3-7-14-21 days matched exactly.

[@GettingSoberAgain]

welcome back to the light. if you did it before, then you know all it takes is just deciding and doing! you'll be 2 weeks sober by new years when everyone is waking up hungover!

I’m 4 months in. My BP went from an average of 135/90 to 118/72. Sometimes in the am it’s 106/64. Drinking definitely raises BP

[@quantareelstudiollc6200]

I quit drinking alcohol because of GERD. The chief reason was that I suffer from GERD and I don't miss it as much.

[@GettingSoberAgain]

GERD heard! thanks for letting others know of something to beware of!

[@CCTH-86]

@John Landry I have GERD as well...for the past 7 years. I had to quit drinking this year because of it. I don't miss it either.

[@akulczyk86]

Sorry to hear about your losses my man

[@T.K.111]

Your vulnerability is refreshing. ..

[@GettingSoberAgain]

Too many people are too invested in protecting their bullshit. Why?...

[@FernandoLopez-ev7xg]

I BEEN SOBER FOR 5 MONTHS, FIRST TIME EVER, AND YES MOST DAYS , IT SUCKS !!!! I FEEL LIKE IM A BORE TO MYSELF AND OTHERS..WOW ❗

[@GettingSoberAgain]

You're no bore to me because I'd like to find out more about what your hobbies and interests are! What makes you happy? What are you good at? What are your special skills? If people were to choose you on their team, what would be your specialty?

[@gwillis01]

Things will get better day by day. You have to persist and count your blessing every day.

[@twoeleven7602]

Dude, you pretty much nailed the time line to the tee, as far as my experience has gone. I’m at 4 months and 1 week and the time between month 3 and 4 dragged.

[@GettingSoberAgain]

When we know what to expect, it makes it MUCH easier 🤗

[@amitgoswami8930]

Hey I just see first time your video and I am sober since 90 days and I feel much better mentally physically and emotionally..but now I am anxious about future thinking that if suppouse not remain sober than?

[@GettingSoberAgain]

You ever hear the common phrase ONE DAY AT A TIME? The past is a memory, the future is whatever you imagine. Thinking about the past causes depression. Thinking of the future gives us anxiety. Both are out of our control. Now is the time to create distance between the past you want to leave behind and take a step closer towards the future you want for yourself. Does your future include going backwards? It will if you turn around...

[@pillieford1204]

There's a lot more to becoming sober and kicking the bad habit because after all it has been a part of your journey for many years and you will need to re-learn what life used to be before drinking . Theres so many different perspectives.

[@GettingSoberAgain]

You get it 😎

[@bermudarailway]

Or learn what should be like ,the drinking might have been an anesthetic for a miserable life.

[@jimmykim6369]

The 60th day of sobriety is the hardest. I feel like I am losing monetum. My longest is 75 days so far. Today, 68th. I definitely want to quit drinking.

[@GettingSoberAgain]

You did quit Jimmy! Sobriety is yours, don't give it back! what are 5 activities that you have the privilege of being able to to today instead of drinking? Idk about you but the weather is crazy nice where I am today so I'm going out for a round of Frisbee golf! AND NO DRINKS!

[@mountiescorner]

Did you listen to joe Rogans podcast with the undertaker? I recommend you do

[@GettingSoberAgain]

Bits a pieces. I've watched a good number of taker clips from other pods tho. Great stuff

[@markspann]

frances here struggling

[@russellsims878]

Does anyone still get abdominal pains, or discomfort at 5 months sober or is it just me

[@GettingSoberAgain]

Do you drink a lot of lemon water or other acidic foods/bevs by chance?

[@russellsims878]

No i had to stop drinking them, as they were not helping i just drink water or a cup of tea the pain is located near my ascending colon went for a ct scan they said i have mild scattered diverticula disease which is usually located near the sigmoid colon on the left side but i dont get no pain on the left side, I was feeling fine, untill i got to 2 months without alcohol it began in november, they feel like flare ups i have had 3 since november 2023 before that i used to just get little dull ache near my appendix when i did drink excessivly. So im really not sure if the process of healing can take longer or they have missed something.

Day 9

[@bing12345678901]

I just hit 4 month mark

[@GettingSoberAgain]

NIIIIIIIICE!!!! LET'S KEEP IT UP! What are your observations so far? I remember around this time feeling a little bit of the gas letting out of my momentum. Around this time for people is when you might say the honeymoon phase or pink cloud phase is over

[@bing12345678901]

At this point, I'm kind of bored and in an unmotivated funk. Sleep is good, but at weird times, takes forever to wake up (used to pop out of bed) No desire to drink, which is great. I am eating a bit more, however, so a bit heavier lately.

[@GettingSoberAgain]

@@bing12345678901 Sounds about right. Now you're sober and in the exact place in life that drunk you left you. Now the real work begins to grow, heal and change the situations that you've found yourself in to become a new and updated version of the old you 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
