Getting sober is the first step to heal BPD 😓
OMG! I loved getting to know you a bit through those videos, Jacob! Especially the way you are a person with mental illness, who is still humorous, eloquent, self ironic... It somehow makes me less afraid of pursuing a possible BPD diagnosis myself. I am always afraid, that I am too funny and loud to be believed to maybe have quiet BPD and/or c-PTSD... I subbed to your personal channel 💪💪💪
I didnt go to AA or NA to get off alcohol or heroin either. I just got tired of what it was doing in my life and after the death of the 2 closest friends ive ever had due to heroin overdoses, the thought of leaving my kids with all that pain if i died too absolutely repulsed me away from ever doing it again. Im 3 years clean and sober. I stopped drinking in 2020 while COVID kept me at home as a stay at home dad. I also have AuDHD... its been a long road since then and a lot has happened that im trying to make sense of. My gf and i broke up last year after 8 years together, but im still pushing through. Im in counseling and trying to live my life the best i can and it hard and i dont want to be here a lot of the time, but i want to see my kids grow up and watch their lives evolve so i stay. I know im kinda rambling, but to anyone who is reading this we are not alone in our loneliness. We didnt deserve our trauma and the lives we got because of it but we deserve to live and find peace. Find your peace even if its in pieces. I love you.
You weren't rambling, this was very heartfelt and I could even feel your pain a little bit reading this. Hang in there, you can find joy in life again in a sustained way, be sure to make time to take care of yourself and stay as present as possible.
@@quasar1 Thank you ❤️
Do not stop believing in miracles! Warm wishes Jake!
I saw myself in some of the things said, as a person who is able to hide their struggles because of shame & fear of judgement
Lovely human. I really admire him.
Congratulations on your sobriety!
Thanks! Getting sober and finally found a way to fund DBT. Here I go. Keep your head up, Jake!
Rebbie you ask great questions
Yea but that wasn't really alcoholism like they said, you don't have drinking urges. Just because you were heavy drinker doesn't mean you were alcoholic, i experience the same drinking phase with my BPD and just decided to stop one day it was too easy
The more I hear from you, the more impressed I am with your grit and determination. You are one strong person, and I suspect your future will be bright, as intelligent as you are.
Thank you so much for saying this. I truly appreciate it
Thank you Jake for sharing part of your story. Good luck to you 🙏🏻😊
Jake I relate with you on being an alcoholic and bartending. You recognized drinking was problematic and made change, that’s beautiful.
When I was bartending I was able to maintain sobriety too, the desire was gone at that time.
Great containment of impulses getting rid of the alcohol. I'm proud of you and your knowledge that the meds interact w the alcohol. Great job. Those people don't know c.a. g.e. alcohol eval. Does anyone or you think that you should cut down. Do peoples comments or do you feel angry at yourself. Do you feel guilty. Google it can't remember E or use audit.
Love this guy 💛
You're Amazing Jake...❤ I like you
Congratulations on taking care of yourself. I never drank to get tipsy but my brain does not like alcohol so I had to quit.
Anyone who is dependent, don’t flush ur alcohol. You need to taper or medically assisted.
