Meet Danay, a woman formally battling alcholism creates ‘Sober Girls Houston’ to help others live sober. After a decade of abusing drugs and alcohol, the pandemic gave her time to address her mental health and substance abuse issues.
Now, two years sober, Danay has created Sober Girls Houston, a support group for women who want to enjoy activities without it being alcohol-centered. A safe space to have fun, share their experiences and uplift each other. Danay's journey in recovery was plagued with excessive drinking and shame of mental health issues. She started therapy and invested in real self-discovery; Even with her struggles, she always found her stability, thanks to the support of friends, family, and a sober circle.
In Houston, learn more about Sober Girls and find support at www.sobergirls...
For support in the U.S., visit the National Alliance for Mental Health & Substance Abuse Recovery at www.namhsar.org/
In the U.S., you can also easily access 24/7 support and guidance by calling or texting 988 or visiting 988lifeline.org/chat to connect with a caring counselor.

This is so synonymous to my recovery. I stayed in the House for months, dwelling in Shame & guilt, I had major anxiety being in public. I've been in rehab and in jail, nothing help but one day..I had enough.. drinking.. hangover.. swearing that ill never drink again.. doing it over and over. I'm two months sober..might not be a lot to some but it's a heck of a lot for me..everyday is a struggle

Leanne, it's unfortunate that this is your belief. It's a proven scientific fact that women are more likely to relapse than men, but sustainable recovery happens every single day. No ones recovery is the same. We are all different and attack recovery in our own way. This is the point of my story. We CAN all recover and stay sober once we find a way that is beneficial to our well being. I wish you the absolute best.

Drank for over 15 years. Never got a DUI, but was a hot mess and in denial about my addiction. A year ago my anxiety was so debilitating, I lost my job, and hit rock bottom. I looked like tge walking dead. I barely recognized my reflection in the mirror. On 2/4/23, i got on my knees and cried out to the Lord and the Holy Spirit for mercy and forgiveness. My prayers were answered the next day. I quite cold turkey and have no desire to go back to Jerusalem, I found the promise land . I'm so grateful for God's mercy and healing. He restored my career and gave me a 2nd chance in life. God heals, through prayers and obedience. Congratulations on your sobriety and sharing your story, and empowering other women.

Something I know about myself is that I can’t drink. Drink is a poison to me it affects me to the point of breaking law being suicidal and I always ruined my life while drunk. Some of us aren’t able to drink and enjoy a drink and know our limits . If I ever touch even a glass it affects my mind . Thanks for the testimony . You think your alone in your issues but we don’t realise how similar we all are and that we aren’t alone .

​@@user-eh8yz6ko3tUnless a therapist is in recovery, they will never understand completely. Not saying they couldn't be very helpful, but the best folks to talk with about sobriety, and the path to emotional freedom, are the people at Alcoholics Anonymous. Why? Because most of them live in the solution, instead of the problem! For the chronic drinker, trying to fix yourself is a death wish!

Great story. I really liked how she talked about all the scheming and strategies she used in her addiction to obtain alcohol could be used in a very positive way in her sobriety. Also like her epiphany about now she’s able to go out and enjoy life in a way she couldn’t be before due to being “stuck in a bottle”. I wish her continued success in her sobriety.

Once someone develops a substance use disorder, their brain does truly change. The brain believes it will “die “ without it. I recommend you watch Dr Nicole Labors video on addiction 101- it’s the 23 minute video. It will help you with the biology. When you understand biology you can see that behaviors are part of it - and not the primary issue deep down

As my eyes drifted closed your voice became more and more clear so much that after a moment I thought it was my own voice I was hearing. I myself have been stay with alcohol use since I was a teenager, I’m 47 now and have been silently researching my disorder for the past 4 or 5 years and it has been hard. Today I am currently 4 days without a drink and really want to get rid of the day one cycles and see through to my recovery. I dream of the sober side of life.

We all have a purpose in life & that is to spread the Word of God‼️ That feeling you said you had, like something was holding you down not letting you go‼️ That was a spirit of the devil. The next time should you have such a feeling, call the name JESUS‼️. And, I guarantee it will flee‼️ Again, great story… Thank God you were able to get through it‼️ Be blessed in Jesus name‼️🕊️✝️

Bless you dear soul. Thank you for sharing your journey. I can totally relate to your story. Especially when you talk about the relapse part. When one gets that taste of sobriety and then it's taken away. Ugh 😭 So sad..I know that feeling of disappointment and sadness. Anyways, I hope you are well and happy wherever you are on your path today ❤ I so appreciate this video and your words. You seem like such a bright light. The thoughts you've shared on here has probably helped a lot of people. Thank you

What did you do? It’s killing me not knowing. And how were you having blowout parties while living with your mother?

Thank you for your story. It doesn’t matter if it’s booze or drugs when you said your day revolves around the conniving and lies and using I got chills!

Hi, I am Valerie and I am a alcoholic. I am from VA. I was up one night and some how came across your story. I too am an alcoholic and for over a decade did just about everything you shared in your journey. Your story made me feel that I wasn’t the only one who was a real bottom drunk kind of girl, but never looked the part. Did amazing things in my journey. Your story hit home. I can do and be the best version of myself with the help of my spiritual guidance. Just wanted to say thank you for sharing your story. I am now 12yrs sober. Sobriety date is 2/9/2011. Of course I am like you tried to get sober over and over until enough was enough. Thank God(my higher power) for that and for people like you to remind me I am still on the right track even through those very hard life changes. I am 54, a retired nurse and work part time for my fiancés Electrical Company. I live in a wonderful community and our house is beautiful. I love my family and just know I can never take that first drink. Who knows maybe someone will read my story and help them. Thank you again for your bravery to put your story out on you-tube. Sending good vibes your way. ❤
