      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. Volunteer get more hobby’s work out and change your lifestyle and you’ll see how it doesn’t not help to go back to it.

    Peace and love to those who have found sobriety.

    Congrats man, Alcohol literally serves no purpose, some people can’t function without it in public settings but it just takes away from your health and mental health, almost been locked up several times due to alcohol. I’ve been sober two years, was drinking every single weekend for the past 10 years, I’ve ridden the roller coaster. Sobriety is one of the keys to a better life.

    First let me give your flowers for 365 days being sober. That takes a lot of faith, strength and patience. CONGRATULATIONS!!!! 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. We are all very proud of you and cant wait to see what sober Steven has in store.....

    THIS IS SO POWERFUL. And yes, when you’re not your authentic self it hinders everything & everyone connected to you. We are all connected to a bigger picture much greater than ourselves. God’s plan for our lives is much greater than we’ll actually ever know. Belief in God or not, his will for all creation will be, with & with our consent.
    CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU! 🥳✨

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 🎉

    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🙏

    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.

    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*

    I have been sober for 4 years , I also suffered from anxiety , amoungst other things .. I can say therapy , meditation, prayer , church , and God got me sober , and kept me sober .I went thru withdrawal, it was horrible , I didnt think I could get withdrawal from drinking alcohol! I thought it was only for drugs! Nope , I was laid out on my sofa crying, sweating, headache , sick. I am very proud of you , and I commend you for coming on here , and telling your story !!! I wish you the best on all your future endeavors!!
