      Keep going 🙏 I was there and realize it keeps you stagnant and when you’re off that high you’re back to the same problem. Stick to it trust me, it just opens the door to a deeper depression and anxiety.

    Wow this made me cry 😢. Im literally going through the same thing choosing to sobriety. I suffer from chronic anxiety and never noticed I had a dependency on alcohol until a couple months ago. Anytime I felt sad, anxious, depressed I always drank to feel better. I would get aggressive while drinking and egotistical. I came to a realization a month ago I needed to quit because it wasn’t helping me. I never felt complete when I was using it for relief. And now being 31, that’s all I want. I want to be myself again, I still get anxious but I’m not as sad. I use holistic and vitamins to help balance the anxiety, working out and so far it’s been improving my mood. I’m 30 days sober and even with my birthday being next month, I thought maybe one drink. But after watching this video, I’m going clean! ❤ Thank you so much for sharing your story!

Thank you for giving us the raw, vulnerable, scared, honest, courageous side of Steven. I pray your testimony reaches millions that are dealing with the same struggles. I know you did not get sober to earn nothing but your life back but I hope it opens doors for other things. Maybe being able to speak your story on bigger platforms (TED Talk, AAA meeting etc) or to 16yr Steven's who are bringing water bottles filled with alcohol just to seem cool. I wish you nothing but many many many more sober days. I also pray for Melenia because I know she dealt with a lot.

    Congratulations! I commend you on your sobriety, I know it isnt easy. Im a House Manager at a drug recovery house in Rockland County and Ive seen how hard it is for my residents. Alcohol is honestly one of the worse drugs, it effects your brain and all major organ. Also, long term drinking can give you induced dementia and "Wet brain". Im glad you are taking accountability, I hope you have a great sober village. One day at a time. You got this! Many blessings, *Serenity Prayer*

    Brother I'm 38 years old and I've always drank since a young age, I think 15, at age 27 is when I started having really bad anxiety, panic attacks, you name it, ended in the er plenty of times, only to tell me my heart was fine. I to depended on alcohol to ease my anxiety, one thing I did know is my dad was an alcoholic with really bad anxiety only he didn't know it at the time, all I know is I didn't wanna end up like him, I too didn't wanna depend on alcohol so slowly I tapered down. All I can tell you is get close to God brother, things will change for the better. I still get anxiety but not like before.

    I literally blacked out the night before I seen your story about being sober & that same morning I made a decision to quit as well. Thank you for that because it was exactly what I needed to hear. I hated myself because my ego def came out & potentially could have ruin recent relationships. Congratulations on being sober 🎉

    Congratulations Chicklet! I'm am very proud of you honestly. I been following you for years and I'm so happy you feel amazing. Internal growth is so rewarding and to be honest you always say you always wondering what's next for you. I believe this is it. Being a speaker or make a mission to help others with their addiction. This is your purpose. You can see how proud you are of yourself and how happy you are and I'm happy for you. Stay motivated and stay blessed 🙌 ❤

    If I’m honest this was the transparency I think a lot of people need.. & I’m one of those people 32 days in and and like you said I wasn’t an every day drinker but I’ve tried stopping several times for similar reasons and I never felt like anyone noticed understood or cared.. so thank you!

    Powerful stuff brother. I really felt this & I don’t drink, but I did struggle with weed a lot. I thought it was such a normal thing but realized that it consumed me & I was not myself. I am 4 months sober now & never felt more alive. This video was an extra push & a realization that I am doing the right thing. Thanks for this upload.

    I’m currently 5 days sober from alcohol I know it’s not long but I realized I became to dependent on alcohol whenever I go through something or needed to distract myself from my feelings. I got so drunk the last time I drank it didn’t sit right how my body felt or how it takes a toll on my mental health the next day. I felt like I got drug through the ground … I made the decision that I want to be sober from alcohol and actually feel my feelings. I feel like this is synchronicity to show me that it’s possible and my journey is possible. Gives me some motivation. Thank you for your story Steven.

    I had a million different things i wanted to say. I have paused this video like 40 times, to take notes, write out journal prompts, and make that pros and cons list. All because i am going through it and somehow you have spoken through me. Most of your video felt like literally my thoughts spoken out loud for once in my life. However, im donating because i swear to GOD before you even said something about feeling your energy and putting the drinks down.. i took one last shooter and threw the rest of them in the trash. Then i continued to play your video.. and you said exactly what i did and what i was feeling. You are speaking through us. PLEASE continue to do what your doing and these transparent podcasts. I dont think i speak just for myself when i say i need them... You are helping us learn. You are Godsent. Thank you🙏

    Thank you for sharing your story & reminding me how I’m trying to quit for the past 6 months. I keep relapsing but I keep trying. I miss feeling happy & im trying to take care of my mental health. Alcohol destroys so many relationships especially the relationship that you have with yourself. 🦋congrats on 365 days sober that’s incredible. I hope I can say that one day.

    @taariq3793 Před 4 měsíci

    It’s crazy that I stopped in April of last year as well and watching this seeing that I went through so many of those same motions and coming to the same conclusions while being sober. To be watching all the skits and not even knowing that you were literally going through the same process is crazy. The clarity you gain from sobriety is wild. It’s like taking the speed limiter off performance car the amount of energy you gain back.
