If someone says "You used to be more fun when you drank" to me, I say "You used to be more fun, and interesting when I drank!" 😂. This video was GREAT. Thank you Jae!!
I am 55 days alcohol-free today! This post really spoke to me, I have never really thought about this kind of thing at all. You have given me a lot to consider...
There are so many different facets of self improvement. Sobriety is a single card in the deck, but for a lot of US, it's the first one to play, to let you WIN the game!
Gonna be 2 weeks sober Monday night. Your wisdom has been helping a lot. Started working out again, drinking a bunch of water, eating better. I’ve been cutting back and practicing sobriety for weeks before deciding to quit altogether. Thanks dawg
@@GettingSoberAgain That’s a good question lol. I’m going to continue to read sober books, watch sober you tube and try to not try and have everything be perfect. Just go with the flow.
Holidays are triggering for me. So I don't plan for them like they're a big to-do. I just plan to survive them. I'm single so I often do nothing on Xmas, maybe go out and give snacks to poor folks on the streets. Maybe consume some weed but NO alcohol ✌️🕊️💪♥️
I’m retired and think I took on too much activity post retirement. I’ve just told the various people/organisations I volunteer for or work with I’m taking time out to work on my own development. It feels good! Lots of other great pointers here, thanks Jae! Edit: OMG that “you’re more fun when you’ve had a drink” has hooked me back into drinking more than once. After all, who wants to be “boring”?
Setting personal boundaries for me has been a challenge as conflict is stressful but certain things can be a lot more stressful undealt with. One time for example an acquaintance decided in his head that I was going to meet him in a certain place at a certain time despite me telling him otherwise. Then when I didn't show up I just told him straight that he'd just made that decision without discussing it. After that he decided to cut me off but I didn't let him get too comfortable. Had I have known him for longer he could have turned nasty but I spotted the red flags. Another time I lent a neighbour £10 which he didn't pay back. I texted him as a reminder but since he didn't reply I cut him off. By doing this you're not being insulting or abusive but at the same time you're expressing self worth and showing them that this kind of behaviour won't be tolerated.
Thank you for the video and the practical advice! I found a good answer if someone offers me alcohol: "No thanks! At the moment, I'm not drinking". For how long this "moment" lasts, is up to me. But usually they don't ask again. all the best to you! You cannot imagine how much you are helping me - and many others.
Thanks for such a comprehensive lesson!! I learned a very important lesson I'd like to share.... In failing to recognize my own value, I set myself up for people-pleasing/co-dependent behavior. I sacrificed my own boundaries (lit myself on fire to keep other people warm), and doomed myself and the people I wanted to take care of to feeling my resentment. That resentment led to drinking and the drinking led to self recriminations and even more undervaluing myself... And the cycle continued. Healthy boundaries are a balance of my own needs and the needs of others. In honoring my boundaries, I PROTECT MY LOVED ONES from my resentment. The Golden Rule really should be: "Do unto yourself as you would have others do unto you".
On Day 9 of my sobriety journey and I'm ready to set personal boundaries! Luckily most of the people in my life don't drink, but some of them do come with their own brand of drama. I'm definitely limiting my exposure to family events these upcoming months while focusing on getting my daily routines locked in.
@@GettingSoberAgaintook your advice and watched this one again today. It's interesting how some of these didn't really apply on day 9 versus today on day 24. (Or maybe I was still in a bit of a fog and didn't really absorb it all the first time around!) But I definitely see areas that need to be locked down in order to deal with all the ups and downs of sobriety. Thanks so much for the recommendation in your last comment. It really helped! 🙏🏻❤️
@GettingSoberAgain thanks again for this channel, initially I was just going to do sober October and be done with sobriety, but I have seen how much better life is without alcohol thanks to your channel, and I'm planning to keep going for at least a year!!
@@juliacoggins7292 Wahoooooo!!! I'm stoked you are feeling pumped. There are so many big milestones coming up. If you make it through the holiday season, you're going to graduate onto superbowl, Valentine's, st.paddys, then you're flying into spring limitless!!!
@@GettingSoberAgain thanks for the encouragement:) I've lived in the UK for a few years so I haven't celebrated Thanksgiving in a while so not too worried about that, but Christmas may be tough to get through.
My ex work partner was a vampire, setting personal boundaries is key, my fiance is a heavy drinker, we don't live together, and spend alot of time apart, it's gonna be a big change when I say no to having drinks on the weekends, it always turned out bad anyway when we did, I have no problem saying no I'm good thanks. Great video Jae I'm diffently gonna watch this a few times, I'm ready to set personal boundaries....
Most of the time, drinking gets worse and escalates over time. Could you handle it if your romantic partner started drinking thirty percent more alcohol?
We become blind over the years and at times desperate for company... sometimes at the expense of our own health: to leave, physically, spiritually, emotionally, and financially. sometimes all we need to do is a little pruning in our own life to make sure that we have the growth that we deserve!
Thank you, Jae. What you do is so impactful for countless people, including myself. I’m two months sober and have immense gratitude to you for helping to keep me grounded, focused and hopeful.
This video was an eye opener, especially points 1 & 2. I used to be that guy. I used to take pride in making my own decisions and going my own way. Somewhere along the line I lost that confidence and started to lean on the "comfort" and companionship that alcohol brought me. Not sure where exactly that change ocurred or why, but I need to find the old me. It'll be something I bring up in my next therapy session. This video was very though provoking and enlightening for me. Thank you.
Another 💡has turned on in the world!! Time to let your light shine my friend :) Maybe pass along the channel to your therapist and they can recommend it to others as a sobriety channel? That would be a huge blessing for so many 🤩
Thanks for the continuous motivation to fix the things (or get rid of the problem people in my life) that have pushed me to become an alcoholic. It is definitely a process but the first step is admitting there is a problem and discovering why there is one.
@gettingsoberagain Do you think a sip of beer that i spat out counts as breaking sobriety, i picked it up misplacing as a lemonade it was a tiny sip of 4% beer which i didnt swallow ajd spat out instantly i just want to know it wont have affected me
@@GettingSoberAgain thanks mate I felt sick after I spat it out I think that's because mentally I'm so against alcohol now it made me feel that way, I never want to drink again life is enjoyable without that poison, thanks for the reassurance
Great video, really gives me so many things to work on. The idea that getting sober fits into a larger framework of self-improvement and self-care is blowing my mind today!
😁I decided to use those Sunday nights to work on new scripts! I'm happy Everytime to read your comments TK, thank you for saying hello. Sam says "HIIIIIIII TK!!!!!!!"
Don't say "That's okay", when it ISN'T okay. I have learned that the habit of saying "That's okay" when someone apologizes for a behavior or treatment that I don't want repeated, gives the wrong message, and doesn't contribute to well-defined boundary-keeping.
"You teach people how to treat you". said the famous counselor who has appeared on tv a million times. In other words, if you tolerate emotional crap and other mental trash being dumped on you, it will happen over and over. If you say "That is not acceptable. Say that thought another way " you have signaled that you want to be spoken to in a more polite, respectful way. The other person may think that you are too timid and scared to reject their rudeness. Prove them wrong.
More great advice. Going low contact/using the gray rock approach started my recovery. I had seven weeks of sobriety--still do--but my latest slip a few days ago, was because tending boundaries can be exhausting, dealing with family who are relentless trying to be enmeshed. I'm back on track with no contact 🥰
I would like to set where i allow anything to happnening and i lose controle of my selfie and allow things to happen and i have no controle but keep loseing
Yes.. all good points. Sometimes it's difficult not to argue with people online but I discovered it's much easier to just to hit the block button and let their problems be their problems 🙂. And you know.. there's no better escape for me than to go into the studio and record for a couple of hours. Maybe I need to commit to doing this every day or every other day at least. Maybe I can finish those 30 songs I've halfway started ...lol.. Great video.
I've had to practice discipline plenty in the comments myself. it's certainly easier to just ignore and or block, especially when people are acting toxic! Ah, beautiful music! No sense in letting it sit around unfinished right? I'm happy to hear that you're going to work on removing the creative obstacles, and put the pedal to the metal!
@GettingSoberAgain the one where if your partner doesn't want to get up early for a walk because she or he is hungover, get up and go alone. My biggest struggle right now is at home.
So true. For me, learning to set boundaries has been the key because I was drinking away the negative emotions i got from not setting boundaries. Once I started setting boundaries, things really got better for me.
@@laceyrushworth9823Make a plan for that down time. Boredom creates a void that is easily filled by drinking (or smoking, or potato chips) Book something for that time before booze books itself in for you Best wishes!
Maaan, personal boundaries is my way of life. It seems to me people suppose I'm a crazy sociopath or conceited sometimes. That's why binge drinking wasn't something that had to do with my social life. But yeah, sometimes people freak out when I order tea or coffee or water instead of beer or wine, still, luckily, I haven't had an episode of pressure or anything. Everything is enjoyable with the right people and/or with the set purpose. Haven't had such a blast playing concerts with well-prepared set!🥳
It's interesting how those type of people have highly developed gaslighting tools to make you lower yourself worth, isn't it? once you know your own value and the cards that you're holding, any rational or sane person would never just give it away!
My partner can be can energy vampire especially with his mother next door. I'm switching to night shift as part of my sobriety journey. btw. got those liquid vitamins... wow!

November theough february is really haed for me since losing my mom. So i choose to quit the first of january. Not too smart but already thinking of ways to stay away of alcohol. Refusing to give in!
@@GettingSoberAgain and I'm glad you're always here!! I've changed my relationship with booze quite significantly and enjoy popping in every so often for some positive reminders 🤘😊🤘
Just on the off chance you get this, Jae, I'm watching a Christmas movie (I'm a bit of a fan) called Where Are You, Christmas, and I tell you, that car mechanic Hunter is your spitting image! Honestly! ❤
Someone told me that they were insulted that I wouldn't hang out with them, bc I didn't want to go to the bar. That kind of pressure is very difficult to those who are people pleasers. Can we all sing "Toxicity" by System of A Down now?
🎵You, what do you own the world? How do you own disorder? Disorder Now somewhere between the sacred silence Sacred silence and sleep Somewhere between the sacred silence and sleep Disorder, disorder, disorder 🎵
12:24 My sobriety has now shown me that my girlfriend & I are so done...isn't that ironic 🤨...as a footnote, I'm editing this post to say that she is a straight up Energy Vampire and has been intent on derailing my sobriety as well as disrespecting my adult daughter when she visits me (now that I'm sober.) Needless to say, my new personal boundry is ignoring my girlfriend until I soon move out of her apartment.
Just like October was a month to recover thanks to Sober October, I’m making November (NO)vember. This is the month I’m learning how to say NO!
SAY NO NOVEMBER!! I like the sound of THAT!
Love this!
Love it
If someone says "You used to be more fun when you drank" to me, I say "You used to be more fun, and interesting when I drank!" 😂. This video was GREAT. Thank you Jae!!
I've said that myself 😂
Truth!
“The magic that you’re looking for is in the work that you’re avoiding.” Dude, that one just blew my little mind. Thank you.

Can we all sing "Toxicity" by System of A Down now?

How do you own disorder? Disorder

Sacred silence and sleep

12:24 My sobriety has now shown me that my girlfriend & I are so done...isn't that ironic 🤨...as a footnote, I'm editing this post to say that she is a straight up Energy Vampire and has been intent on derailing my sobriety as well as disrespecting my adult daughter when she visits me (now that I'm sober.) Needless to say, my new personal boundry is ignoring my girlfriend until I soon move out of her apartment.
FEEL the POWER of personal boundaries!!!
You give great life advice. Sure it is directed at our sobriety journey... but this is LIFE advice. Thank You.
I try to mix it up as sobriety isn't the singular answer to our happiness. Thank you for the positivity!
I agree! It addresses underlying root causes of what may have led us to use alcohol habitually in the first place.

19:22..."the most important relationship is with yourself...and God". Had to add that, please excuse me.
Nice add 😉
Keep a low profile in early sobriety...people can and will use your shortcomings against you 😉
This channel is golden! ❤
