The hardest part for me was finding out that I don't actually have any real friends. Once I stopped drinking I found out I pushed all the people that cared about me away while I was going out and partying. I havnt been able to find any people my age that don't spend there free time and weekends going out and drinking. It's been over a year now and I've never been so lonely but I'm also not trying to play the victim. I did this to myself and now I have the chance to truly make my life special. Stay strong everyone thats on this journey
Eric Shockley u
Same. It sucks. And it happened over night. It’s definitely caused a lot of trust issues within me
Eric Shockley go to the gym you'll be surprised how many people are there on a friday or saturday night that have no desire to spend money trying to chase a buzz
Eric, thanks for sharing man...Great message, you are very much appreciated..:)
Eric Shockley wow 😮 Eric I can totally relate!
30 days of No drink... And Im not looking back, Pray 4 Me
Hey how are ya now?
I'm three weeks sober, and I'm so glad I ran across your channel. I really resonate with you because I have been your average party girl for the past 4 or 5 years of my life. I used to drink very, very hard 3 times a week, and I one day decided to go completely sober, cold turkey. Thanks for sharing your story- it is so inspiring! :)
Good luck to you in your journey! So excited for you.
Sarah Ordo , Awesome! I'm proud of you!
I'm glad I came across this, I am 2 weeks sober and really needed to see that long term sobriety is possible and it does get better, congratulations on almost 2 years sobriety now xxxx
Ot is so possible! It is not always easy, and there are definitely some bumps in the road but coming up on 2 years now I'm in the best place I've ever been! I'm sharing something VERY special on my two year date so make sure you're subscribed so you don't miss it! :)
I'm 2 days sober and feel amazing ! you inspire me
A P how are you now???
hope you're still sober !
Andy yes ! Thank you !
My eyes just filled up with tears watching this...I've watched all your other sober videos, but this one hit a corde in my soul. In my early teen years, i entered a bad entourage. Before my 14th anniversary, I went to a party and drank so much that I woke up in a hospital. Alone. And throwing up. My memories from that party are fractured and I only remember some words and lights. I didn't really realize exactly what impact that had on me, and only after a few months it actually hit me. I've lost friends, i've been hurt and backstapped and i remember starting to pray and seek support in religion. Like you, I come from a catholic background. Now, writing this, I am 17. I haven't had alcohol issues since then, but at that age, it gained me a tag. People talking about me, the-not-even-14-yr-old-alcoholic. It's still hard to even think about that period, and your story just moved something in me. I want to say thank you for sharing, for being honest, for helping.
Absolutely! My relationship started around that age with alcohol as well. It's such an important time if life when you are finally coming into who you are and it is so easy to fall into alcohol. I'm so glad you enjoyed the videos! I am releasing my first book next month on my two years anniversary date, make sure you are subscribed and following so you see when I announce it! :) xo.
Haven't drank at all in 2017. Best decision ever.
Great job Danny :) Keep it up brother.
Chills.... being six months sober you are telling my story thus far. I appreciate you and this great story of the beauty of sobriety 🙏
Drank almost every day for 6 months straight. I drank beer wine and pure alcohol. I handled my alcohol very well and people never knew I was drunk. I’ve blacked out once when I was sleeping I woke up in my makeup chair pissing myself smfh.I havnt been drinking for that long but the affects hit me hard last week. Pure anxiety induced hell. My whole body’s nerves feel on fire. I get hot and cold flashes, im jittery and have to walk around. I cant even eat food. Im going through it and never want to touch alcohol again. I didnt need it to survive I just enjoyed drinking Too much and my body became dependent. Pray for me 😩
hope your doing well , ime back to Day one after the weekend !! :(((
I so relate with the "alone" time my god I so relate with that I hated being alone !!!!!! Now I love it how polar is that.. I love being home alone and hearing the songs I wanna play watching the shows on RUclips I wanna play hearing the birds feeling the sunshine I'm in Florida eating what I want maybe it's selfish but we must love ourselves first and always and be happy and he content you are gonna have so many amazing days ahead your sowing so many seeds for your future and everything u said is true be hellbent on sobriety kick its ass and keep this up girl
Yes girl! I am so learning to love myself first for the first time in my life. WE deserve it! xo.
I can relate. I have hit bottom too and have been sober for almost 5 months now. A lot has happened already and this isn't my first time struggling to get and stay sober. Things have changed a lot for me, not to mention my ex just broke my heart too. I'm staying sober though
ugh, breakups are the absolute worst during the beginning of sobriety.. that was what ultimately broke me down during my first year. I was so desperate for someone to just be there during my rough first year and relied too much on the idea of a relationship making everything ok. But on the bright side, it does show you your strength that you go through rough times without turning back to alcohol.
Sarah Ordo yea i was so blindsided too. the girl stayed with me through getting treatment and getting sober and i just thought she was down especially after that. we had a small argument one day and i noticed she was being nitpicky more often then became distant that weekend. It sucks but it will make me stronger and not everyone can handle or deal with you when you get sober, a lot of emotional, mental changes
Absolutely. I was in a very serious relationship around my 6 month mark and he left me over a text message 3 days before we were supposed to be going on a cruise for my birthday.. talk about blindsided lol I truly believe these things are put in our lives to happen by the Universe, God, or whatever power you believe in to test us. It shows us how strong we truly can be.
Yes, for me it was right before Valentine's Day when I had the reservations made. I know it puts pressure on people during "holidays" to re-evaluate the relationship. It was like wow, at least she didn't do it on Valentines day or soon after. It still sucked and it took a hit to my self esteem but also proves why it's important to stay out of relationships the first year you are sober. It can be way to devastating when you are trying to learn how to live without alcohol again! It's even more annoying because you think you are doing so well by just not drinking, and it's not good enough to some people!
I couldn't agree more. I thought I needed someone to get through it. But really I needed to get through it on my own because it was my battle and my journey.
Really good. I remember my 1 year anniversary. It is a craaaaaazy feeling. The first year is amazing and super harsh at the same time. Keep going!!!
AGREED. lol It was an intense year!
I can relate to you so much. Drank since I was 13-14 until 26. I still don’t know entirely who I am because I have been chemically influenced for so long. Turns out I like being alone and snuggled up in my bed on a Saturday night more than being out at a bar. My friend group also changed since I quit drinking. I used to be the “glue” and would always host parties. Now that I don’t do that anymore, my group doesn’t get together much. Still a long road to go but I don’t regret it one bit! 3 months sober on Oct 9th.
Maeghan Plunkett you sound like me. I'm 3 months in. been drinking for 20 years. now it's Netflix and chill with a pizza and my puppy. ;)
You look so good and healthy after quitting. Im thinking I should quit too. wish me well 🙂
I couldn't believe how much my looks changed! lol people told me I didn't even look the same anymore. I can see it when I look at older pictures and videos and stuff. I do look so much healthier & better! :)
I know exactly what you mean when you say you thought you knew who would be your bridesmaids at any given time. The friends I thought would always be there in my life til the day I died are not in my lie at all. But I'm almost 90 days sober and that's what matters! Thanks for sharing your story
Congrats on 90 days! Thats huge! xo.
Please pray for my friend Ray she needs to hear this!!! I believe God is bigger and greater than any addiction!! What alcohol destroys God can Restore and make whole 🙌🏽🙏🏽❤️
It’s strange how it was the opposite for me when it came to my friends. Quitting drinking really strengthened ties I had with existing friends as it allowed me to better support myself allowing me to be more involved in their lives. That’s what was the most rewarding part for me (other than completely getting rid of my anxiety).
I had to come back to this video after relapsing currently. I relate completely and I mean completely to this video. I too have been going through a horrible toxic relationship/breakup. The feeling of betrayal and loss is very real. Anxiety is astronomical but support from my parents is helping after I finally came clean about this horrible habit I have desperately trying to hide. Ready to close all of this negativity as well. Very happy for you! Good for you. Thank you for sharing this, much needed. ♥️
There is always a light at the end of the darkness girl. One day you will see how this molded you into the woman you will be 🙏🏻💕
Sarah Ordo Sarah Ordo thank you so very much. 🙏🏼💕 I just signed up for a therapy appointment. Only those who have been through this vicious circle understand how fragile it makes you. I appreciate your gentle kindness. I have pulled myself out of this fuckery many times before it’s just a matter of maintaining it & I think therapy is going to really help with that. Appreciate your energy & honesty. Thanks again girl. 🙌🏼
You look ten years younger. Your skin is brighter and your eyes are really bright too
Awesome video. We have pretty much the same exact story! I got sober on April 25th 2015. looks like you are exactly one month behind me, which means that you have 2 years coming up in a couple weeks!! Congrats. Kind of a strange channel for a guy to come across, but I'm glad I did.
Congrats to you on your 2 year! :) Yep, I'm almost there!
I feel what happened to myself also is what was supposed to happen so that I stop with the drinking. I will look back at this in my hard times and troubled times. I am so happy for you, congradulations to you! keep up the awesome work. ❤
Thank you so much! :)
I'm trying to get sober and stay sober as we speak. I'm glad I found your page....thank you so much....I needed to hear this....thanks again hun
Well done on your year soberiety. I work a programme of recovery into my life on a daily basis, I am now over 2 and a half years sober and couldn't have done it myself . Keep up the good work !
Congrats! :) You must be so proud. I can't wait to be to that point, it is only up from here! It took me a while to be open to letting others help, but it is so much easier with a support system. Please check out my new blog at www.soberAF.com, I want to start a community for people like us.. Feel free to share your story in the forum. :) And again congrats on your 2 and a half years, so inspiring!
Thank you, take it one day at a time , life can throw many things at us but it's how we choose to react - we don't need to drink today, we can live life on life's terms 😊 I will definately have a look, lots of love from Scotland Xx
I am glad i found your channel. Just downloaded first book. Im a man in early 50s but a lot of similarities with your situation, I have been going back and forth quitting alcohol for about a year with some success but not sustained. Im getting some help and watching a lot of videos of people like you who are doing it. Thanks and keep it up.
Thank you so much for ordering the book. :) Your support means so much!
Thank you for this Sarah. Today is my first year without a drink or drug, and it was emotional for me as well. Its funny how we share May 25th :) 05-25-19 seems like a lifetime ago, and only yesterday. May the universe bless you with many good things! And you keep up that beautiful smile!
Congrats on your 1 year. You are a beautiful person inside and out. I love all of your videos. Keep up the good work!!!
+courtney deeneen thank you so much!
The wedding thing is so relatable. That’s the justification why I didn’t throw out a lot of toxic friendships. 2 and a half months sober myself. Congratulations!
So proud of you! This is absolutely amazing! Always remember God is with you and He loves you! You are truly so inspiring with your courage! Love you!
I think this is so weird that I'm watching this on May 24th! I'm in my first sober week :D I love all of your sober vids - the transition is incredible xxx
+rhirhitv I'll be posting my 2 year video tmrw! 😊 and releasing my book about my first 2 weeks sober! Check it out it may be something that could be helpful for you in the beginning of your sobriety 🙏🏻
Honey I'm so very proud of you. Please continue on with these ! Congrats on 2 years coming up!
this is so me! i also feel like ive been broken down... The life i lived was meaningless.. Now i understand where i have been wrong. But i have been badly broken
I like that i can hear the real in Your voice and your story is inspirational. I feel ya and im on my 2 day of quitting drinking and smoking. I beileve god put your video in my path. Thank you
Social media is a useful platform when used properly people get SO much from sharing! Let's totally face it, drinking ruins lives. It will always ruin lives so let's protect young lives by setting a good example. Never drink again - it totally sucks.
YES! I will be Three Years Sober in 10 days! :)
Congratulations on your year sober wish I could do it too cos I drink too much. Your such a nice lady and booze is a waste of time and money keep up the good work!
You've been really inspirational. I recently decided to stop drinking (3 weeks sober) and it has been really tough, but i didn't feel alone because I could relate with your story and struggle to get sober. I'm scared to possibly lose my friends and loved ones....but I know it will be best for me and my well being.
I have lost friends because of being sober ultimately. It has been upsetting I won't lie. I just keep reminding myself that I need to focus on what is best for me during this time. When you are working so hard on your own self growth, I've realized that you may have to remove things you thought were good things. But in the big picture it is for your own good.. keep the focus on why you are doing this and how it will be bring so much more to gain that what you may lose. :)
Thank you so much for taking the time to reply. I will take this one day at a time, and I hope to keep you posted along the way.
This is awesome! I'm on my way to sobriety and it's so inspiring to see other young people going through it.
Love these videos, well done to you 🎉 I’m 90 days sober and you are helping me stay on track. You look amazing 🤩 watching your journey is so inspirational 🎉
I'm proud of you! Keep truckin'! God bless! Keep focused on Jesus! 👍
Thank you Sara, :) Going through the same.
hey girl, I'll be 7 months sober tomorrow Im glad i came across your channel and knowing that theres more people out there that feel the same way I do, especially in early sobriety. Thank you for sharing your story :)
Absolutely! It's a long journey. :) You should check out the book, there's probably a lot you would relate to in it! xo
I am reading your amazing book right now! It actually convinced me to look at things differently I never thought i was an alcoholic but after blacking out and not remembering night after night enough was enough and my son freaking out by things I had done I found that enough was enough. Today is day 10 for me :)
Oh my gosh congrats! 💕🙌🏼 I’m glad you’re enjoying the book! Be sure to leave a review on Amazon when you finish it. I appreciate it so much! 🙏🏻
Sarah Ordo thank you soo much for the prompt reply! I also listened to your podcast with cara and it was amazing that actually how I first heard of the book and I will be leaving you a reveiw
Oh yay! I actually recorded my first two episodes of MY podcast that will be out in the next few weeks! 🤗🤗🤗
Yay! Im soo excited to check it out!
I'm a new subscriber but I'm already so proud of you! I'm so happy for you for being sober, it takes courage and you've outdone yourself :) this inspired me so much. I really loved it when you said you're grateful for experiencing all of that hurt because it taught you some lessons, it gave me chills. From now on instead of lookin at my past with regret I'll be grateful for what I went thru because it made me stronger. Keep up the great work Sarah. Thank you for sharing something personal with us. :-) you're brave and super sweet!
+me bd I'm so glad you liked this video! I learned from going back to church that we truly cannot appreciate the goods times without the dark times.. and I firmly believe every dark time is there so a brighter future can be there after! :) It's so hard to feel that way when you are hurting and upset, trust me its easy to get caught up in the hurt. But every little thing builds us up to where we need to be.
Glad you are doing much better! Keep it up! You'll be in my prayers
Love the video and share! Awareness like this does more for others than we could imagine! Subbed to your channel and found inspiration here for mine! Keep doing you!
Hello. hope your still sober. Love your video and I love who you are now sober! peace n love

Thank you 😊 for sharing your life with me 😊 I'm so happy I looked at your videos 💕
I'm so happy you're enjoying them! :)
Congrats girl you are so strong!! xoxo
+Lyssa Rahh thanks so much lovely!
God bless you Sarah! Wonderful news!
Look in the mirror, you're where you need to be.🙏💯
Amazing ❤️ thankyou so much for this. I needed it today.
You say youve been abandoned, cheated on etc etc, so it raises the question, did you also have faults which may have led to others behaviors?
I say this not to be mean, but to be 100% real. I find that, me personally ive not always been the most level headed, friendliest person I can possibly be and I fault myself as well for the ways ppl treat me.
I put my whole heart into two relationships when I needed someone to be my support system. I chose with my heart and not my head. Maybe that was too much of me to ask of these individuals.. I realize now I needed to find that strength in myself and not in another person. I'm not sure which behavior ever could "lead to" cheating? If someone is unable to be faithful, then they should not be in a relationship, period.
Keep up the good work!!!
You look 5 years younger !!
LOL it's incredible how alcohol can change you emotionally, mentally, & physically.
Divorce has better results!
How did you almost die if you don't mind me asking?
4 weeks sober now, its kind of hard and lonly and booring. No energy, nothing. Hope its not last too long.
Well done. It takes an incredible amount of discipline and willpower. I had a similar story. I was the drunk meathead around town on Fridays. I'm finding it difficult to be social. Do you find yourself getting a little stir crazy at times? How do you handle social events?
It has been almost a year and a half for me now and I am STILL getting used to being social sober. When you've been used to your social life being directly tied to alcohol for so long it is very weird to adjust. YES, I found myself sitting at home on weekends almost uncomfortable just watching a movie by myself.. I've tried to find healthy things to focus and spend my time on. Sober plans.. dinner with friends, going to see a movie, etc. I try to plan little things to look forward to on weekends to avoid feeling like I'm "missing out" since I'm not out partying. I am still able to go to events, even ones with alcohol... that took some time to not feel anxious and feel urges. But you can get there. Make sure you check out my blog at www.soberAF.com I will be putting up a post soon that you will really relate to I think. It's all about learning to be alone and realizing how closely being social was linked to alcohol for me.
awsome good for you on your sobriety keep it up
+Steven Bieganowski thank you! 2 years now! 🙏🏻
Great job keep it up!
Congrats keep it up. It almost killed me when my friends sponsor relapsed after 27 years. It kinda devastated the whole n a community around me
Kajetan Strysko be your own hero
Friends are people that you think are your friends.
Congratulations on 1 yr sober. Are you working a 12 step program? I'm also in recovery myself.
I will be 1 year sober tomorrow 22nd august
You are an inspiration huni! Can I ask how you manage to get through social situations when everyone's drinking around you? I try to go out with friends and say "right I'm not drinking" but then I'm easily swayed! How can I stop this??? Xxx
It's definitely strong will power! lol It's funny because I was at a show of a band I love recently and my friend asked me "isn't this award for you? everyone is drinking" and I explained being in big social situations like bars with music is actually easier than smaller situations! Sitting at a table while everyone does a shot but me is the more awkward situation lol I just try to put myself in the mind frame that I don't need the alcohol to have fun & smile. I can be my bright, bubbly self without it. :)
Sarah Ordo Yeh I totally get that! Once your out and dancing the time just flies so you don't even have time to thinking about heading for a drink! It's the same for me like if we're drinking before we go out thatssssss an issue lol. At the time I'm like yehhhhhh this is a great idea show me the tequila but the next day I'm just like nope nope that wasn't good! 😂 I suffer with anxiety so the next day it definitely takes its toll and my mood changes! I think I need to think to myself will it really be worth it? I can't just go out for a couple, it's actually ridiculous! How are you feeling with Christmas and all the holidays coming up???
Hey Sarah, thank you for the video
Go girl
It’s very interesting how some ppl can’t control their drinking when they drink.. every dr*g/substance has a different affect on someone’s brain.
I can control my alcohol consumption just fine, but that’s prob bc I hate the taste so much. If I liked the taste, it would be a different story I think..
Anyways - I’m proud of you for taking responsibility for your drinking and becoming a better, healthier person. 🌟❤️
so brave of you thank you for sharing.
Could you please give me any help to begin my journey to complete sobriety
Sometimes we need to hit bottom to realize God loves us, and to pray more and have faith! Good job, God bless you! Jesus loves you!
Oh my god this is me im constantly busy doing something constantly
Great video. Thanks. I have 116 days.
Congrats on 116! That’s a huge accomplishment!
Like me you now have grip on who you really are.
Great good blessings. Keep it up.
God does things for reasons. He blesses you.

I want to be sober again so bad. I’m so stuck 😔
One day at a time!
Matty Dalton Go read Allen Carr’s book “Quit Drinking Without Willpower”.
Did the friends who left you drink and reject you because you did not.
I definitely noticed as they pulled away it was when they were going to go out and party and blew me off instead.
I have so much respect for you 🙏
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I’ll go to lunch with you
💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
Where are the parents when these kids drink at 13 ???
Sara is cute
She is.
Lol fuck being sober I'll stick to my Aderall and Subutex and occasional heroin and guess what I'm successful making 48k a year have a girlfriend and am very happy addiction doesn't have to ruin your life it's all how you look at it and weather you let the drugs control you instead of you controlling them
MIKE REACTS listen to yourself. It always gets worse. Stay safe
