Alcohol dims the light of every soul. Congratulations on your sobriety ❤️💪🙏🏽☀️
Well said!!! You're good at this 😉
4 years ... damn time flies. Congratulations
Yep! It was 4 years on 11/28/2022 ❤️
Wow what a difference! 4 years that is amazing!
I also have taken photos of myself from my first day until now (60 days sober) and there’s a huge difference. The biggest difference for myself and I see it too in your before and after is the light and life in your eyes after quitting alcohol returns. My eyes looked completely void of life in my first picture post sobriety. Now my eyes light up naturally. It’s amazing!
Shine on!! 💡💡💡
You can see a huge difference in your skin, eye color. You look so healthy!
❤️❤️❤️ ty for noticing April 💅💅💅
You can see the the difference I saw in different videos, much different energy from the old and new videos
I’m so glad you started this channel and that you stuck with it and I’m so grateful you’re here for me today. I’m here for you too.! ❤️
We are here with each other 😎
@@GettingSoberAgain ❤️
Wow… in the flashback of when the channel first started, your eyes look so lost and you seemed so exhausted. Now, now the light is back in your eyes and the life. Your soulshine is shining. It’s crazy how alcohol ( or the devils pee as I refer to it) drains every ounce of light from the eyes. You have too much soul to drink spirits. ❤
Well aren't you just the sugar in my tea this morning 🫂
Your energy looks so much better now. That's motivation for me to stay sober thank you!
I agree, wow what a difference. Thank you Jae for being vulnerable enough to share you're story. You inspire so many. 🤗❤
Happy to do it! I just hope it doesn't hurt my chances to be president someday 😂
Hahaha 😂 president hmmmmmm maybe stick to the podcasts it's more rewarding ❤ and oh so helpful.
@@rhondamorrice8692 I think you might be right 😎

I am my own worst enemy I'm starting today.
I think that’s true for most of us lol I used to tell people that my brain was out to kill me!
@@StuckinNormalomg I'm so glad others feel this way, I literally thought I was going crazy! Ugh being a human is hard! Keep up the fight!

It feels good to look good! I can't wait for you to get to where you deserve to be 😁
I need to get sober. Please help, any tips? Talking helps a lot. Considering AA.
AA is a great resource. You will be surrounded by people who know EXACTLY what you're going thru.
If you want to check out more of our videos, here is the playlist from newest to oldest! We currently have 167 themed episodes, tons of shorts like this one, and members only livestreams that are all over 2 hours long!

Just start today. And keep stacking days together one by one. Don’t think to far ahead. It’s been six years for me and I still miss some of the old times. Even though I shouldn’t.
My sponsor from AA recommended 90/90. 90 meetings in 90 days. It worked for me and gave me a sense of accomplishment and self worth every day. I’ve been alcohol free for 9 years. You got this!! Your future self will thank you ❤
Why are people becoming sober curious? Because God ordained it, and God knows how our bodies work far more than we do.
Islam deemed alcohol haram (forbidden) over 1,400 years ago.
Islam: Ahead of the curve since more than a 1400 years.
The World: Seriously?
Islam: Time confirms wisdom.
Been going to AA since I was 17. 28 now. My mom made me go at first, cause she’s been sober since 2009. I started going myself a long time afterward. Of course, I relapsed after grandma died. Immediately a fifth a day. Been doing that for two and a half months. This is what happens when an alcoholic relapses.
if you could choose all over again, would you choose to buy a bottle a day, or spend the same amount of money gaining more useful tools in therapy?
Remember: You are not limited or defined by your mistakes, relapses and detours. But you are subject to being defined by a victim mentality.
find the next level of strength. we believe in you , even if you don't currently believe in yourself! ❤️
@@GettingSoberAgain I of course wouldn’t choose to buy a bottle a day, but would rather just save the money instead. AA is free, after all.
I know what I am doing and what the consequences are, because I know better since I’ve already been to rehab and a sober living house. And yet, I still chose to drink.
It’s quite literally insanity. There is a problem with the way I think.
Hi Jae! Hi everyone!
I’m reluctant to go to an AA meeting because I don’t want to be put on someone else’s timeline (fear of an intense sponsor x the steps). I’m afraid of the pressure. I can appreciate pressure in some settings, but in this context it really upsets me-the thought of being pushed again and again.
Do you have a reason for not wanting to attend AA? Clearly you’ve found a way to be sober without it. Guess I’m just looking for someone’s take on going another way and why they did.
Thanks, C
I wanted to do it on my own, learn how I did it, and use that knowledge to share my experience with other 🤓
25 days for me
Hi Jae what kind of camera do you use?
the one I use on the channel currently is a canon R6 mirrorless with a 50mm 1.8 lens
It's when looking into your eyes I spotted the difference that was the most impactful.
The first clip, I could tell that you had this void, emptiness that foretold the state of mind you were in.
However, I must be truthful and state that, the present you, looking into your eyes, that void has not been completely filled. Although, the emptiness that was consuming you, has been filled to some degree. And hence, looking into your eyes, it seems you may have found some thing which has given you a sense of belonging, purpose and contentment; even though you may still be searching further to become whole; entirely.
(Which is not to say that, you have failed in your mission to revive your life or your soul. As it's expected for one to be still travelling in their journey in search of complete contentment after recovering from a life of addiction. )
Would you say I got some parts correct when forming an opinion on your pre amd post journey in sobriety? 😬🤔🤔🙏🙏🙏
One of my favorite parts of this community is that we are: No Judgement Sobriety
What you may think of me and my eyes as I read from a teleprompter to deliver an inspiring message, doesn't serve my purpose 🥰
@@GettingSoberAgain i hope i didn't offend you in any way. That wasn't my intention.
I was actually trying to praise you in my comment.
@@originalunoriginal4055 I would assume that most people wouldn't find a light psychoanalytical assessment in the form of a question as a compliment.
But if you'd like to redirect your intentions in a more direct manner, I'm all ears 👂
🥳👍👍👍
🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼
Day 23 is it normal to feel more muscle aches and soreness I work a physical job and have for years when I was drinking i didn't feel as sore as I do now that I'm sober just wondering
how much water are you actually consuming a day?
@@GettingSoberAgain none
@@fredbridges4012😮😮😮
Dammm. You should drink water buddy and ensure you eat food that contain essential nutrients for a healthy and functioning body.
When coming off substance abuse, it's recommended to supersede on the daily nutritional recommended intake for an adult.
Because, I presume you lost alot of weight during your substance use, meaning you went to sleep with an empty stomach for 5 days of the week. And would probably go without eating the entire day.
So, the alcohol became a primary source of "nutrition" for your body when you were using.
And your body depended on the alcohol to feed your body to essentially keep you alive.
Now that, your body is learning that the alcohol a.ka. false nutrition is not present in your body. It is going into "starvation mode"
And the alcohol use to hold you down. In terms of muscle recovery. Keeping your living organism functioning etc.
It's as a result of the alcohol leaving your body, it's why you are feeling many pain etc.
Dw, keep eating healthy food and get enough sleep and rest.
Your body and brain will eventually rewire itself and learn to use the nutrition from the food you consume to function and have a healthy body system.
🙏🙏🙏🙏
Thank you for starting this program. It has been a main stay for me, Thx....
REALLY??!!!!! How long have you been watching????
@@GettingSoberAgain for about a month, but I've gone back and watched a bunch of your vids. They inspired me to quit drinking, day 19 today.
@@billymoon5153 NICE!!! 19 DAYS IS GREAT!
If you're not familiar with the 21/90 rule, the 21/90 rule says that it takes about 21 days to start a habit and about 90 days for to become more permanent lifestyle change.
You are on your way
