- If I'm being honest, I didn't think this was possible in this life time. I am 6 months sober this month (this was filmed two weeks ago). Im filled with so many emotions, but happy to say I feel the best Ive felt in a while. Being alcohol free has definitely been life changing and I am looking forward to what the rest of this year has in store for me. I am in no way trying to change anyones way of living, just sharing my journey as I have been these past few years. Would love to do a Q&A for you all. Leave any questions you have in the comments section and make sure to follow me on instagram to keep up with me on my stories. Thank you so much for being here, besos!!!!

Good video, not a lot of people talk about alcohol problems, this a great point of view
Thank you for being here. It’s personal but hope it finds those who can relate or are looking to make a change. 🙏🏽💕
Being sober is the new thing now ✨congratulations girl!!💕💕🙏🏽 I’m 3 months sober and still going!! Thank you for this video 🙏🏽
Aw yay! Love that for you. It’s challenging still at times but it’s totally worth it. Hope you are staying strong! 🙏🏽💕
I hate to say this. Because it sounds horrible the word “alcoholic”. But that is what it is. I can relate to your story 100% and it’s very similar too. I was in denial for many years about being an alcoholic. It took me years to realize I had a problem with alcohol and I would abuse it. Until I finally hit rock bottom. Im 2 years sober now and I didn’t think I would see the end of it. Until I became a mother. Becoming a mother saved me. Therapy as well. But looking back to my old self exactly how you are describing yourself I can say I was an alcoholic. Definition of alcoholic: A chronic disease in which a person craves drinks that contain alcohol and is unable to control his or her drinking. I hope you continue to stay strong. It’s not easy especially when you’re surrounded by people who consume it strongly. 6 months is a lot. And I truly hope you stay strong girlie. It is not easy. I would also suggest gathering around a circle of people who have the same goals as you. I know family is family. But they need to respect your choices and health. People that love you want to see you win. Remember that.
Congrats on being 2 years sober! That’s amazing, I’m so happy for you. Girl, I’ve been around true alcoholics and I wouldn’t consider myself one. 😅 Who knows maybe later I will change my mind on how I see it. I definitely abused alcohol but I’m sure there’s a difference of craving beer on a hot day vs on a regular basis. I don’t miss the alcohol necessarily, it’s the social part of it that I do miss. The being able to vibe differently at a party and get into deep conversations and dance without care. I hope the dangers of what alcohol comes with helps me stay away though. Thank you for your words of encouragement. I hope to be able to come back on here and say I’m also 2 years sober. 🙏🏽 I do agree on finding a circle who has similar goals, I’m sure that would help tremendously. I’m taking it day by day but will keep trying. 💕
Congratulations! You should be proud of yourself! 👏🏼 I’m 34 years old and I stopped drinking over 10 years ago in my early 20’s. It was so hard to quit drinking as I was the life of the party. I lost friends because of it. But I decided to quit to focus on my career and goals. I’m still working on other habits and growth. Like having an earlier bedtime. Thanks for sharing your life with us. You motivate me in different ways! One way you motivate me is being consistent with my weight loss and living a healthier lifestyle. You’re amazing! Keep up the great work!
Oh wow, 10 years!? You give me hope. Love that you did it for you regardless of the friends that were lost because of it. I’ve heard it happens a lot but I think it’s a favor in disguise because if people are only your friends with alcohol around are they truly your friends? Some people will support it and those who don’t shouldn’t be in our lives. Live to hear that I motivate you, you’ve now motivated be to keep going in my sobriety. Thank you so much! We got this! 🥹🫶🏽
@@judiths.journey awe thanks Judith! You are so sweet! 💕 I agree with everything you said 👏🏼 I’m happy to hear I motivate you too! We got this girl 🫶🏼
Congrats!!! Its definitely a challenge, but feels so good as time passes by. Also, your body and skin will thank you for it 😅
Im 33 and stopped drinking when I got pregnant with my first baby at 22. I dont regret it at all. Im Mexican and my family and some friends can be judgmental and always curious as to why I stopped! I always tell them that Alcohol genuinely wasn’t doing anything for me. I realized that alcohol for me personally was an escape of my traumas and personal problems. I wanted to make sure that I was present in life and tackle my traumas and growth sober and as raw as possible.
Ive lost so much weight, my skin is looking the healthiest ever and I feel sooo good! Congrats and to anyone starting this journey dont give up!!!
@@damaris2085 congratulations on being sober so many years! I’m also Mexican and it was definitely a challenge in the beginning. Now it’s easier as everyone knows. I also feel like I used to drink to temporarily feel good and escape from my personal problems and traumas. I had no control when I drank alcohol. One time I passed out and had alcohol poisoning. I was so naive that I didn’t even know that was a thing. That night I went through a traumatic experience that changed my life. Now I’m a mom of 3 and live a happy life sober. I’m still a fun person. I don’t need alcohol to have a good time. I love to dance and I have passed that on to my children. Still going through life healing from traumas and growing. Living life the best I can. Thanks for sharing your story! It’s inspiring!
CONGRATS!!!! It’s crazy how much more youthful and healthy you look now. You definitely have a glow. Keep it up! You are inspiring so many people by being a good example ❤
I’m flattered! Thank you so much. 🥰
Yes! Yes! Yes! Congratulations! For choosing something for you, and standing by your choice. That’s inspirational and it’s respectable. You go girl.
Thank you so much! 🙏🏽🥹
I’m so proud of you! This is a great accomplishment. Keep it up. You got this girl! 👏🏼
Thank you so much! 🫶🏽
Keep it up Judith , 6 months will turn to more sobering. Your health is first and your liver will be healthy and happy functioning right. Liver cirrhosis is not good in long term , especially in bad drinking habits.
Thank you so much! I sure hope so. 🙏🏽
I am so proud of you Judith. Thank you for sharing such a vulnerable topic.
Thank you! 🥹🫶🏽
Aww so proud of you 🎉
Thank you! 🫶🏽🥹
Girl I was on the same boat as you with that sober Journey. I thought I couldn’t be that person to just drink one beer. Now I can go to any gathering turn down a beer or be like ok I’m just going to have one. This past December was when I had put it to the test at my niece quince to just have 1 and girllllll the next day I was so dammm proud of myself lol. But I know what you mean about ppl being too aggressive or obnoxious when you are not drinking lol. I’m rooting for you always!!!🎉
Ah, Id love to be able to be that person to just have one. Our parties are all nighters, it makes it hard to stick to one. It helps to have something else to drink by hand though. Maybe in the future I’ll challenge myself if I really feel I want one. The heat in Bakersfield hits hard so that’s when I crave a beer the most. 😅 So proud of you for staying strong. Drinking excessively is just not worth it.
That's amazing! I'm happy for you 🎉. CONGRATULATIONS. I hope I can be a sober queen one day just to see how healthy I can be
Thank you so much! It’s not easy but it’s possible. I feel so much better without alcohol it. Whenever you’re ready, I’ll be rooting for you. 🙏🏽💕☺️
Great job! Keep it up 😀
Thank you! 🤍🙏🏽
When I crave alcohol I usually make me a topo chico mineral water with squeeze oranges, mint and lime with just a tablespoon of raw sugar and omg it tastes so good
Yum, taking a screen shot to try this later. I love me the topo chico mineral water in glass, hits different. Adding all that I’m sure will make it more satisfying. Thank you for the recommendation. 🥰
Wow this was a great video ! I was I want to say if not exact super similar to you in Everything u said and felt . & well one of my goals now is to get pregnant and I want to be at my best for that it’s been really hard . I’m almost 4 months sober . It’s a little hard for me too I feel like no one wants to hangout with me like before anymore so it definitely still feels hard sometimes idk what to do but just be home or go to the store or my moms house but I remember why I’m doing it and also for my weight I have so much trouble loosing weight . It’s definitely hard but I’m doing ans my husband is so supportive but he’s always working so I can feel struggle but I feel the same way waking up feeling good getting my day done and doing Eveyrhing I know I wouldn’t do the next day after drink . You’re video was so motivating and shows how things can be accomplished and it’s not all about that in life ! My mind set is somewhere else now and it will benefit me in so many ways. Super happy and proud of you love . ❤
Ah I totally get you girl. It feels different not having alcohol be a part of my life. Especially when it comes to hanging out with the people we are used to. It’s hard but we need to find someone who has our same goals. At the end we are winning here even if it feels like we are losing some. We have to put ourselves first, especially if we want to be mothers. Like they say, you could never be ready for a baby, but we can be better prepared. I think it’ll be nice to be able to say that you brought your kids at a time you were healed and were able to teach them to have healthy boundaries. Just that will make this journey worth it. We got this! 🙏🏽🤍
Girl not the if you loved me you would drink lol. He tried to get you girl but you stayed strong. That is amazing!! You are killing it! Its worse as you get older, those hangovers are horrific.
Thank you! I’ve had my challenges but I’m surviving them thankfully! 🙏🏽💕
Congrats! I am so happy for you, you look amazing! & just an advice when I would crave a beer during summer pregnant , I had a sparkling water michelada ! Hope that helps ❤
Thank you so much!!! Mmm, yes. I had my sister in law made me one once but I think it was with a bit of squirt and it was bomb! Need to try with mineral water. Thank you! 🤍
Congratulations 🎊 I'm so proud of you !
