I love this video. The fact that she’s open about her sobriety is my favorite part because anyone on social media as a career or influencer doesn’t like to show the ugly truth about themselves otherwise they won’t be the perfect image they play themselves to be.
I agree! But, by saying “the ugly truth”, I think you accidentally further the stigma around recovery from substance abuse/mental illness. I’m not saying YOU are wrong at all. I’m suggesting maybe we should all- myself definitely included- be a bit more conscious of the words we use, in order to erase that stigma. I can see how plenty of people would see it as an admission of a personal “flaw”, when she forces herself to go to an AA meeting that she doesn’t feel like going to. But, what she's really demonstrating isn’t an ugly truth or a flaw or anything negative at all! She’s actually showing the exact opposite. She’s showing the “internet world” her strength & her resolve. She’s saying, sure, she has flaws (aka: she’s human), but she’s dealt with/is dealing with them, even when it really sucks & she doesn’t want to! Which is an asset of her character & a truth that is far from ugly. I think it’s a beautiful truth she’s sharing! Though it’s strange to say she’s “bravely exposing her beauty”, it’s true because of people who, unlike you & I, appreciate fantasy & impossible standards, more than reality- even when there’s far more to respect about that reality, & it’s “imperfections” make it all the more beautiful.
I started crying when Stephen came in and you were all so happy together and Alfie’s smile when you guys kissed. I can’t. It wrecked me. Why am I crying I don’t know you
Literally every night it goes from " I wonder what happened to that guy I dated in highschool" to " I wonder if I'll get Corona virus" to " what tf is my purpose on this planet" 🤣🤣🤣
He's soooo adorable. Also, it sounds like you're descibing a drop in serotonin at night. I don't always have it but there were times I did and my ex did every night we called it the "night time feeling".
I love that you’re able to tell your truth about sobriety. That’s it’s a constant battle, that needs working on just about everyday. More vlogs please.
Nope, I noticed as an addict in recovery that when the world goes quiet my head gets loud. During the day we are bombarded with many things that distract us from our inner negative dialogue. It’s like white noise. At night when the light goes off and the silence comes my mind starts reminding me of all the awful horrible things I did as an addict. 7 years later and the guilt and shame has nearly led me to take my own life. I have sever anxiety, and depression. The doctor calls it “medication resistant anxiety/depression. I didn’t even know that was a thing. It basically means there isn’t a medication out there that will work for me. Laura I know how you feel, I’m sorry things tend to get rough at night. A lot of addicts face the same thing every night. That’s when I hop on my Facebook addiction support page I created and it’s guaranteed there’s a few members up late suffering just like me. We talk, we process, eventually one by one we fall asleep. I love listening to guided meditation podcasts, it really helps.
I saw your quarantine exercise video and now I am ADDICTED to all of your videos...I have a 12 year old son I am born the same year as you and I can relate to you so much...thank you for being REAL and HONEST on your Channel. I have shared many videos and I hope that you get to 1 million subscribers soon
I get the anxiety too, when everyone else is asleep.. It truly sucks but I do the same thing and make sure I pray and meditate. Loved this and how open you are about your life ♥️💗
I love How healthy is just all energized and playing and always playing and having fun and then Laura it’s just very call I think the meditate she does but Laura you are the best mom and I love your videos
Yes to the anxiety and depression! It took me forever to figure out what worked for me. Prayer, listing out all the things that made me happy that day, the office w subtitles on the lowest bright settings and lowest volume and prayer declarations. Those things worked for me hopefully maybe they can be a help. You guys are wonderful parents! You got this mama!
Laura, thank you for being open and transparent about your daily struggles as a woman, a wife and a mother. Alfie is such a beautiful and happy baby. Keep living in the moment and counting your daily blessing. You're such a beautiful family. Blessings sent your way darling!
It’s not just you. I think it’s because, when we go to sleep we process the whole day and when we wake up it’s a new day and we come back from our dreams. Also coffee makes people happy.☕️😊
I’m currently dealing with trying to get sober, watching you and your family is inspiring. So much so that I just ordered your book! I’m actually going to my first meeting next week!
I loved watching what you guys do, because I need the motivation to be healthier, and eat healthier myself. Also the motivation not to drink helped me as well. It's been just a week for me so far.
Thank you for being vulnerable and sharing all this. It really helps to see people be honest about their humanness. You guys are amazing. Thank you for everything you do!
I have had the worst fear and anxiety lately at night. I lose sleep over it. But like you said, when I get up and have my coffee everything seems right with the world. I just finished your book and it was such a great read! Love you Laura!
Im not shaming other moms but to see that she’s healthy and she keeps her baby healthy too it’s so interesting to me and super cool that baby will be as healthy as her when he’s older! Love your videos Laura💋!
Laura and Steven, Alfie is just the cutest little boy and I can't believe how big he is already. I love your honesty about everything. Especially about your addiction and sobriety. I'm also a recovering opioid addict and I have learned a lot from you and your book. I love you all, such a beautiful family.
Kudos for you and taking care of yourself. You know the reality of what can happen and you are putting yourself first to be the best you for yourself and family. Beautiful back yard! Love yalls videos!
Oh Laura I know about the anxiety and sadness. I don't get it night but I get it in the morning. I do the prayers and relax on bed for sometime and say the same stuff as you. It does really help me. I tell myself let this day be great! And off I go. God bless you and your family. Love you!
Everything you spoke of in this vlog, regarding momming, is as normal as can be. (I dislike that "normal" word but you know what I'm getting at) What new parents don't hear enough of is this; You are doing fantastic. Your an excellent mom and dad and the love for Alfie is apparent in everything you do and say. What a lucky boy (and so darn good looking, too) he is, to have parents like you. I am grateful that I found you on the internet (Thx to my daughter who sent me the first video) and really enjoy each and every moment you share with us. With love from Northern Alberta, Canada. Thank you and God Bless.
I'm not even a kid person, but ughhhh alfie is just adorable! You guys are amazing parents. I love how excited he gets when he sees Steven. God love his heart. I'm in recovery too. I go to NA. I can relate to needing a meeting. I have to have my NA meetings to re-center my crazy ass. I'm so grateful for the steps!!! Love you guys!!
Having bad thoughts full of anxiety and depression at night happened to me as well. They were due my university career and the so much pressure I was putting on myself. Last year was the worst, I had them every single night and it was a very dark period full of anxiety, panic attacks and lots of stress. Then, I started seeing a psychologist who helped me a lot (still does. I'm not completely over yet) and I started taking care of my menthal health and slowly I'm seeing the results of this hard but amazing journey. Sometimes is easy, most of the time is hard, also because I am very proud and don't feel comfortable to admit my mistakes and my feelings. So, I think that these thoughts you have are coming from your anxiety and it's pretty normal. You're not alone!
When you can't get asleep, you feel anxiety because of the darkness. But if you're going to sleep when beta wave hits(when you feel asleep) you won't feel the anxiety because you'll go to sleep without thinking.
YESSS I loved this SOOOO much!!! Please keep making these vlogs! Loved it and love you guys. I love that I can relate to you guys so much and it's so inspiring how honest you are and how open you are about love, life, family, yourself and your sobriety. I'm a recovering addict as well and everyday is hard but I push through for myself, my kids and my family. You are such an amazing Mom and just an awesome person! Your videos make my day, you make me laugh and smile. Thank you for sharing a part of your life! ❤️😘👍👍🤗
Really love hearing about your sobriety. I'm been sober for two years and sometimes people ask me why do you need to keep going to meetings, well you put it perfectly!
As a woman 6mo pregnant with her first child, this video was enlightening. Also, as a first time mom, and also a sober woman, i gotta say thank you for showing that you can still make meetings while raising a family. Gives me hope i can do it too.
Ooooh my goodness, your first vlog is so good😄 and also...yeah I know it can be really hard to get over anxiety, but hey never give up and stay positive because I think that you’re really amazing, beautiful and clever and funny and you have such a sweet and nice family and I just think that all of you are amazing and you deserve to be happy😊❤️ love you so much and remember to always keep smiling 😊🌸🦋
I have just found your videos and channel and... your videos are even more relaxing than perfectly professional yogi channels telling us what we should do or shouldn't all those lesson stuff with freaking awesome background...👍 what a nudge! You guys are amazing!!
I love the blog more than the other videos although all your videos are good! It's amazing to see a day in your life really helped me to feel like getting to know yall, what a wonderful family!
Hi Laura! I just wanted to say that no, the Fear and anxiety you have is not just you 😊 at night when we’re about to fall asleep, our brains have no distractions to prevent us from creeping into the darkest thoughts in our minds, also our body/ mind is exhausted so it isn’t as strong against negativity both physically and mentally. As some one with a history of mental health issues such as anxiety I feel for you and wish you and your family the best :)
Laura Clery is so great no kidding she got me through depression (also therapy did too) but from Help Helen to now I’ve gotten so much better thank you so much ❤️
You are truly a beautiful family. So sincere in your love for each other and so open about your past. Remember to have God in your family at all times.
Thank you soo much! I have been sharing your videos I don’t have much time at this moment, but I needed to thank you Thank you Thank you:)! You are so great:-)! I love the influence that your videos are having in me and my daughters life😊✨💕
Nighttime is definitely a time where the anxiety and stresses can creep in heavily. I deal with this a lot, you are absolutely not alone. I think the darkness effects a large portion of it, plus all the happenings of the day/life in general get to replay over and over in your head as they are fresh and new and still jumbled thoughts. Waking up in the morning, your head has had time to sort of process as you've slept and "file" all the thoughts away, albeit at least temporarily, and it feels like a new start. I'm very sorry you're having to deal with it, I know from experience that it is no fun. I wouldn't wish it on anyone/ We've recently started playing background noise to go to bed at night - mostly recorded rain or gentle storms. It's actually seemed to help! My mind likes to go off to the races at night and it'll keep spinning itself tighter and tighter, winding me up so much that sometimes it'll create a full on anxiety attack, but the background noise can cut into it a bit, especially as I'm actively trying to go to sleep. It may be something worth trying if you haven't already.
You just got yourself one more subscriber. If it wouldn't have been for your book on Audible books you wouldn't have got this extra subscription, however I listened to your book and I loved it loved loved it so much so I had to find out exactly who you were and found out I could watch you everyday on RUclips. I do have to say your videos make me laugh makes for a good morning so thank you for that!
Laura, you are so amazing! Being open about your past is commendable to you. I love your personality and you have an incredible figure. Naturally beautiful
I love your skits and I love seeing your daily life! I love it all! Also; I get the same anxiety and depression at night. Mine is bad enough that I’m back on medication and I go to therapy twice a month. I haven’t gone to a meeting in a while but I really should go cause I hear that can help. Having our bed as the family bed (cosleeping since all of our animals sleep with us too so why not our baby) has helped a lot of my nighttime anxiety.
I have the same thing at night bad anxiety and depression I think it's just because you are busy through out the day and don't have time to think but at night you have nothing to do so you think of all the bad things I would suggest listening to your favorite music while you fall asleep. Let me know if this helps
Hey, Laura. I listened to your audio book a little while back because i'm so into heavy non-fiction and I wanted something 'light'. Well, it was definitely not that, but I really appreciated your story and especially you reading it. Anyway, I have 7 kids; the last 5 were born in 6 years and 2 are pretty significantly disabled but in very different ways. I know well the anxiety/depression in bed, but mine was always first thing in the morning. It is not an easy thing, but I do think it has to do with that stage of life, hormones, and the uncertainty that comes with motherhood. I no longer have that issue, my youngest is 7 now, but it is something that should be talked about more often. Thanks as always for your openness and honesty about life.
So glad you sad that thing about like going nuts at night and waking up really fine... hahahaha taught I was the only one. Also just read your book.. okay, I listened to it... after laughing at your SSTEEEEEVAAAHHNNN videos on fb for the past few years. Man i’m proud of you. Thanks for everything
This is literally my life sans le husband le but with my almost 2 year old... omg this is just as fun to watch as my own personal videos of my son morning to night, I really love seeing people enjoy their lives! Documenting this will bring back so many beautiful memories in time to come, and at the end of the day, that’s the most we could ever do for ourselves, ever!!!
I can relate on so many levels! I am also a sober mom to a 4 month old baby boy whom is also a breast fed baby. I’m a stay at home mom though while my husband works. We both decided this would be the better option for our family. We rather his mommy take care of him full time than pay hundreds of dollars in day care & we are able to afford living on one income so it works (we do live very minimally & modestly though hence why we are able to afford it). I do my meetings at night though since my husband works during the day. I just love you so much Laura I’ve been following your career on social media for years now & am so happy to see where life has brought you today. I just ordered your book & cant wait to have some down time so I can read it without much interruption from my little guy lol which is hardly ever! Lol but I promise I will get to it. Either way you have my endless support in all your career endeavors! Btw, I love the new mom/parent content. I am here for it! Keep up the good work 💜💜💜
Yeah I agree that. All anxiety, sadness, fear and kinda that feelings are coming to me when I lay down on my bed in the night. but in the morning, they are NOTHING.
What's so weird is that mine is the total opposite. When I lie down to sleep I don't think about anything but I wake up every single morning in a panic. For months, I've popped up at 4 AM with my heart racing, thinking of everything I need to do.
I love all your videos,vlogs,and all the people you are in them😂... They are so funny and wish I could watch you everyday.Looking forward to seeing what's in the "surprise" package. Your family is so adorable 😍. Keep up the good work mamma😉
It's so refreshing to see a RUclipsr being real about life issues. I wasn't aware that Laura was an addict because I'm also a recovering alcoholic. Stay committed girl💋
I love this!! Love that your so open and honest with life in general! I can relate 100% on every level so glad I found you on RUclips! I as well am a recovering addict,married,a mother of 5, deal with PTSD,anxiety, and a little bit of depression hehe! Most definitely didnt choose the f#c!ed childhood I had, but I'm definitely greatful to god and bringing me through, my sobriety, my health, and my family! I still wanna give up daily but god always gives me the strength to pull through! I freaking love you guys already! Your so inspiring keep the faith keep doing you cause your fu#king amazing!! Lots of love! God bless you your beautiful little Alfie & fam!!🤗😘
I suffered night terrors from age 4~5 until two years ago. I’d be too terrified to close my eyes in darkness. The first crack of dawn on the horizon came through my bedroom windows and I could finally make out those seemingly sinister shapes on the floor were not murdering monsters but piles of clothes etc. huge relief and finally I could fall asleep and get my average 3 hours a night deep sleep. Anxiety and night terrors ruled my life until I was diagnosed with ADHD. I had already been diagnosed with complex trauma, OCD, dissociative problems, and agoraphobia. Strangely or not ~ ADHD medication dissolved a lifetime of severe night terrors. I’m a nana so that’s a frickin long time! But grateful though!
It’s definitely not just you, I get it all the time!!! It absolutely sucks it makes me not want to go into work in the morning, sometimes it does last in the morning but once I’m at work or I get my day going I’m fine.
I love this video. The fact that she’s open about her sobriety is my favorite part because anyone on social media as a career or influencer doesn’t like to show the ugly truth about themselves otherwise they won’t be the perfect image they play themselves to be.
Renee Hicks I completely agree, I hope she posts more! I love your guys family, hell no one is perfect, this video made my day.
Yes please do more of these. You are great for opening up by the way!
She’s so real! Love it, and hope she continues. Brings a spark of relief to see and relate to a real mom with real struggles!
Your comment deserves to be pinned📌

Not just you. I have panic attacks and palpitations almost every night for no discernable reason.
I thought I was the only one in the world that Got anxiety and heart palpitations at night. 😔
Youre definitely not alone
As a woman 6mo pregnant with her first child, this video was enlightening. Also, as a first time mom, and also a sober woman, i gotta say thank you for showing that you can still make meetings while raising a family. Gives me hope i can do it too.
Ooooh my goodness, your first vlog is so good😄 and also...yeah I know it can be really hard to get over anxiety, but hey never give up and stay positive because I think that you’re really amazing, beautiful and clever and funny and you have such a sweet and nice family and I just think that all of you are amazing and you deserve to be happy😊❤️ love you so much and remember to always keep smiling 😊🌸🦋
I have just found your videos and channel and... your videos are even more relaxing than perfectly professional yogi channels telling us what we should do or shouldn't all those lesson stuff with freaking awesome background...👍 what a nudge! You guys are amazing!!
I love the blog more than the other videos although all your videos are good! It's amazing to see a day in your life really helped me to feel like getting to know yall, what a wonderful family!
Hi Laura! I just wanted to say that no, the
Fear and anxiety you have is not just you 😊 at night when we’re about to fall asleep, our brains have no distractions to prevent us from creeping into the darkest thoughts in our minds, also our body/ mind is exhausted so it isn’t as strong against negativity both physically and mentally. As some one with a history of mental health issues such as anxiety I feel for you and wish you and your family the best :)
More more more 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 I love you and your family. Sending amazing vibrations !!!! I have gratitude for you and your amazing videos.
Thank you for being so honest about anxiety. Feels good not to feel alone
More day in the life vids!!! Ive waited for this FOREVER since the book
Laura Clery is so great no kidding she got me through depression (also therapy did too) but from Help Helen to now I’ve gotten so much better thank you so much ❤️
Anything you do i love watching. So yes, i want more of these.
You are truly a beautiful family. So sincere in your love for each other and so open about your past. Remember to have God in your family at all times.
Thank you soo much!
I have been sharing your videos
I don’t have much time at this moment, but I needed to thank you
Thank you
Thank you:)!
You are so great:-)!
I love the influence that your videos are having in me and my daughters life😊✨💕
Nighttime is definitely a time where the anxiety and stresses can creep in heavily. I deal with this a lot, you are absolutely not alone. I think the darkness effects a large portion of it, plus all the happenings of the day/life in general get to replay over and over in your head as they are fresh and new and still jumbled thoughts. Waking up in the morning, your head has had time to sort of process as you've slept and "file" all the thoughts away, albeit at least temporarily, and it feels like a new start. I'm very sorry you're having to deal with it, I know from experience that it is no fun. I wouldn't wish it on anyone/ We've recently started playing background noise to go to bed at night - mostly recorded rain or gentle storms. It's actually seemed to help! My mind likes to go off to the races at night and it'll keep spinning itself tighter and tighter, winding me up so much that sometimes it'll create a full on anxiety attack, but the background noise can cut into it a bit, especially as I'm actively trying to go to sleep. It may be something worth trying if you haven't already.
My daughter used to crawl up me while nursing when she was Alfie's age. 😂 I just loved when she'd dig her little toes into my ears.
You just got yourself one more subscriber. If it wouldn't have been for your book on Audible books you wouldn't have got this extra subscription, however I listened to your book and I loved it loved loved it so much so I had to find out exactly who you were and found out I could watch you everyday on RUclips. I do have to say your videos make me laugh makes for a good morning so thank you for that!
When it comes to sobriety meetings are always always number one without them you don't have anything
Never stop blogging never never
Laura, you are so amazing! Being open about your past is commendable to you. I love your personality and you have an incredible figure. Naturally beautiful
Gorgeous family, and as for anxiety, it literally rules my life . Stay strong 👍🏼👍🏼
I love your skits and I love seeing your daily life! I love it all! Also; I get the same anxiety and depression at night. Mine is bad enough that I’m back on medication and I go to therapy twice a month. I haven’t gone to a meeting in a while but I really should go cause I hear that can help. Having our bed as the family bed (cosleeping since all of our animals sleep with us too so why not our baby) has helped a lot of my nighttime anxiety.
I have anxiety too at night and it’s crazy how when you wake up your all better.
His hair is getting so long, I love it!!💕🥺
I just love how real you all are! 😊❤ yes please more vlogs!😊 love ya all so much.
My 3rd son keeps me up but after calming down and watching your videos I’m all as well ☺️
I needed that sharing of dealing with anxiety and fears... My freedom I need to take advantage of! To keep maintaining myself
Laura I loved your vlog. You have a precious family! Please do more Day In The Life videos. Loved it!
This is the sweetest thing I’ve ever watched!!
I have the same thing at night bad anxiety and depression I think it's just because you are busy through out the day and don't have time to think but at night you have nothing to do so you think of all the bad things I would suggest listening to your favorite music while you fall asleep. Let me know if this helps
Just keep being awesome! Thank you for another amazing Video. Bless. You're such a good mom ❤️
The part about anxiety and depression at night can’t be more exact and precise
Hey, Laura. I listened to your audio book a little while back because i'm so into heavy non-fiction and I wanted something 'light'. Well, it was definitely not that, but I really appreciated your story and especially you reading it. Anyway, I have 7 kids; the last 5 were born in 6 years and 2 are pretty significantly disabled but in very different ways. I know well the anxiety/depression in bed, but mine was always first thing in the morning. It is not an easy thing, but I do think it has to do with that stage of life, hormones, and the uncertainty that comes with motherhood. I no longer have that issue, my youngest is 7 now, but it is something that should be talked about more often. Thanks as always for your openness and honesty about life.
So glad you sad that thing about like going nuts at night and waking up really fine... hahahaha taught I was the only one. Also just read your book.. okay, I listened to it... after laughing at your SSTEEEEEVAAAHHNNN videos on fb for the past few years. Man i’m proud of you. Thanks for everything
This is literally my life sans le husband le but with my almost 2 year old... omg this is just as fun to watch as my own personal videos of my son morning to night, I really love seeing people enjoy their lives! Documenting this will bring back so many beautiful memories in time to come, and at the end of the day, that’s the most we could ever do for ourselves, ever!!!
I'm reading your book for the second time right now 😁 I love it
I can relate on so many levels! I am also a sober mom to a 4 month old baby boy whom is also a breast fed baby. I’m a stay at home mom though while my husband works. We both decided this would be the better option for our family. We rather his mommy take care of him full time than pay hundreds of dollars in day care & we are able to afford living on one income so it works (we do live very minimally & modestly though hence why we are able to afford it).
I do my meetings at night though since my husband works during the day. I just love you so much Laura I’ve been following your career on social media for years now & am so happy to see where life has brought you today.
I just ordered your book & cant wait to have some down time so I can read it without much interruption from my little guy lol which is hardly ever! Lol but I promise I will get to it. Either way you have my endless support in all your career endeavors!
Btw, I love the new mom/parent content. I am here for it! Keep up the good work 💜💜💜
Yeah I agree that. All anxiety, sadness, fear and kinda that feelings are coming to me when I lay down on my bed in the night. but in the morning, they are NOTHING.
What's so weird is that mine is the total opposite. When I lie down to sleep I don't think about anything but I wake up every single morning in a panic. For months, I've popped up at 4 AM with my heart racing, thinking of everything I need to do.
I love all your videos,vlogs,and all the people you are in them😂... They are so funny and wish I could watch you everyday.Looking forward to seeing what's in the "surprise" package. Your family is so adorable 😍. Keep up the good work mamma😉
It's so refreshing to see a RUclipsr being real about life issues. I wasn't aware that Laura was an addict because I'm also a recovering alcoholic. Stay committed girl💋
I love this!! Love that your so open and honest with life in general! I can relate 100% on every level so glad I found you on RUclips! I as well am a recovering addict,married,a mother of 5, deal with PTSD,anxiety, and a little bit of depression hehe! Most definitely didnt choose the f#c!ed childhood I had, but I'm definitely greatful to god and bringing me through, my sobriety, my health, and my family! I still wanna give up daily but god always gives me the strength to pull through! I freaking love you guys already! Your so inspiring keep the faith keep doing you cause your fu#king amazing!! Lots of love! God bless you your beautiful little Alfie & fam!!🤗😘
I suffered night terrors from age 4~5 until two years ago. I’d be too terrified to close my eyes in darkness. The first crack of dawn on the horizon came through my bedroom windows and I could finally make out those seemingly sinister shapes on the floor were not murdering monsters but piles of clothes etc. huge relief and finally I could fall asleep and get my average 3 hours a night deep sleep. Anxiety and night terrors ruled my life until I was diagnosed with ADHD. I had already been diagnosed with complex trauma, OCD, dissociative problems, and agoraphobia. Strangely or not ~ ADHD medication dissolved a lifetime of severe night terrors. I’m a nana so that’s a frickin long time! But grateful though!
It’s definitely not just you, I get it all the time!!! It absolutely sucks it makes me not want to go into work in the morning, sometimes it does last in the morning but once I’m at work or I get my day going I’m fine.
