How to stay sober when nothing else works

- Time for a pep talk! Maybe you've tried quitting before and not felt the benefits, or perhaps you're new and curious about sobriety but it's a bit out of your comfort zone. Either way, welcome! SO happy you're here and giving yourself the gift of learning something new & perhaps even changing your life for the better! Recovery is all about self-development, levelling ourselves up & developing through our trauma, triggers, urges and belief systems that simply don't do us justice! It can be overwhelming, so here are a few pointers on how to set ourselves up for success!

As a fellow Aspie, I find your content very relatable and authentic, you should have way more subs than you do atm! , hopefully that will change soon 🙏
Awh man. Did he really say that? 🥲
What a human, beautiful Robin 💛
@futureshock5641 thank you buddy, I swear I replied to this but I can’t see it now. That is such a true reflection, people definitely can make us feel more alone. Wicked quote ✨ Since getting comfortable with myself I actually very rarely want human interaction ~ but the internet is also good for finding likeminded people that aren’t as draining. Thank you for your encouragement, it’s so appreciated!! 🌞
the sober journey ain’t for the faint-hearted. you are strong, mikaela :) keep going, don’t let the thing(s) you’re running from get a hold of you!
Came here from your sweet comment .You are stunning girl, look 24 ;) Cannot wait to hear more from you. Stay well and sunshiney 🌞🌞
Thank you friend! 💖 I was just checking out your ASMR - crazy!! My ears are tingling! 😂🫶🏼 More sunshine on the way! 💘
@@recoverywithme aww that makes me so happy. 🥰💕 sending a big hug and much love, I’ll be back here to check on you 🌞🌞🌞
Similarly, I'm also a late-diagnosed AuDHD'er who fancies the drink. I like painting, but generally won't do so without being blasted. Today however, inspired by your words, I've been painting without drinking and it's going well. 🙂
@@redhawkredhawk77com that is awesome! I know how challenging it is to switch our brain from habitual stuff. But once you prove to yourself it’s possible.. one starts to wonder what else is possible. What else is lurking in there ready to come out? Painting is definitely an internal process, can be very emotional too, so I can understand the link to drinking. I went from barely having a day away from it, to never, ever craving it. I realised it was my way of not dealing with my internal ‘stuff’ I’d built up. Wasn’t half as scary starting to let it out, as it was trying to bloody suppress it. You’ve reminded me how much I love to paint too.. i might just do that this coming week. Thank you!! 🙌🏼🌞
I needed this today. Thank you ❤
Awh you're most welcome! Thank you for spending a little time together Michelle! If you fancy a lift, go take a peep at the @owakenbreathwork channel (they offer a free 5-minute breathwork 'how to' video). It really shakes off the cobwebs! 🧡
Lets begin again, again, again. You don't gotta worry about losing friends if you never made any, heyo! See I knew I was smart. It took me hundreds of attempts before I was able to stop alcohol and nicotine. My body helped me out and made them less and less bearable. It's been a year for me and now just feel stuck, but at least I'm not an alcoholic any longer.
Having love would be great
Have you watched any of my you tube videos mikalea? X
did you get a new place Mukaela? your place looks really cozy and your looking lovely
Hello hello! Awh, thank you so much! Yes, well spotted! I now live on a barge?! Haha. Funny how life can surprise us if we're only willing to loosen the reins a little! I would never have said I was a boat person but I absolutely love it! It's quite spacious though at 26 metres long 😁💚
Thank you
Thank you too!! 🤩
Did you go AA xx
@@Nicnac13 I did for a very short time in the first few weeks. As much as I align with some of the concepts, it wasn’t for me in the long term. There are many paths of recovery but one size (in my opinion formed from both experience and research) does not fit all 🌞
How you make thumbnail ? i want to know because i was thinking to start a channel too..
Hey, cool that you're starting a channel! I haven't made a specific thumbnail for this video but I usually use Canva (they have both free and paid versions) to play around with thumbnail ideas, that you then upload alongside your video. Loads of good UA-cam videos on this too! Good luck with your new project!!
@@recoverywithme yeah my main aim is to share my thought. internet is already f*cked up with cringe content and internet is making everything normal. so just to share my thought. btw your video come randomly in my feed. i just like your video for better reach. ;)
@@bijendersingh509 Thank you sm, I really appreciate it! For sure, get your thoughts out there - see what comes back! Will be a fun experiment 😁
Are you ok?
Yes thank you 😊 How are you doing?
Yes! Good advice here!
I'm watching you now...lovely 👗 dress 😊
Heyyyy long time! Thanks a mill! A sort of Spring time celebration happening here - hope you're enjoying it too!! So beautiful out there! 🥰
You remembered me 😊😊I was 5 years 9 months sober yesterday and I still always learn something when I watch one of your videos ❤
@@tommyactsout403 Of course I do! Woah that's wicked - I bet you could teach me some things from across those 5+ years but so happy it resonates! I'd love to know what advice you'd give to someone on day 1 (if anything comes to mind)?
Day 1..wow I felt so hungover from my latest bender I just focused on getting through that 24 hours..like being in a horrible factory job and constantly looking at the clock ⏰️...on day 3 I remember writing a list of reasons to stop drinking and a list of reasons to keep drinking..I had 17 reasons to stop and like 2 to keep drinking...I'd say the most important part of going sober is adjustments to your life..I.e...not going to the pub even for a can of coke...turning your phone off at 5pm on the first 3 weekends to remove the problem of so called friends pestering you..there's lots of adjustments actually...alcohol and human beings is a very. Very complex subject in my opinion..because every single person on the planet who drinks will have a unique relationship with alcohol.
