I used to drink to escape myself. I'm happy to say that today is day 18 sober
Peer pressure... boredom.. bad days... stress.. just escaping reality was my trip up enemies..
You said it Loose!!
Peer pressure = beer pressure
Exactly 💯
Alcohol is the only drug people in general don’t want you to quit. If I’ve got a non alcoholic drink it’s 20 questions as to why. Hate those people
I’m my own worst enemy .. the decision to drink alcohol solely comes from my brain. Habit , boredom but mostly habit
Welcome to the "everyone here" category lol
One of the main goals of sobriety is to become a person that you actually want to hang out with. A person that you trust, respect and believe in.
But you have to earn it, just like anything else that's worth it.
42 years old and going on 5 years sober, let me tell you, I still respected every one elses decision to drink, but they didnt respect my decision to have a ginger ale and were irritated because I didnt want a pale ale.
With friends like these 🥺
@@GettingSoberAgain I know right!
This is probably one of the best ways for me to deal with and continue to work on my sobriety. It puts everything in front of me to not only identify why I used to drink. It is a continuous plan that is never-ending.
Thank you, Jae, for this, almost six months sober.
6 months LETS GOOOO!!!!
Most comprehensive, organized, accurate and useful video I’ve seen since I started watching similar channels 2 years ago and stopped drinking 6 months ago after 35 years of wasted time. Thanks!!!
You're so right. Listened to this while I went for a walk to not drink. Thank you
Rock on! How ya holding up?
Unfaithful relationships....geez, Jae, after all of these years I remembered what started this journey
That's a big one! Great add!
Sometimes the 'what' can be a movie or tv show where ppl are drinking freely. What am I, 12?
OoOOoOh good observation!!
I'm swayed by that, too.
Maan if that isnt me with the sopranos and peaky blinders lol
This is so important who doesn't love a concrete battle plan?
Bonus points if you know how many times I said "battle plan" during thia episode 🤣
I'm sick of feeling the need to drink again to feel better since I feel like crap from drinking the day before. But if I do, I'll feel like crap again tomorrow. Hate the cycle. Sunshine is my energy today. I wanna sit in the sun and crack a cold one. Somehow water and sitting in the sun is just missing something, but that's so sad, shouldn't be the case.
Yep I understand so well
Thx Jae!!! For being there for us 😊
The pleasure is all mine, my dude!
Good stuff. Abstinence definitely is simpler than moderation.
Hi Jae 👋 All I can say is Yes yes yes yes yes - I WAS AN ENEMY TO MYSELF .....& hey thanks for this lesson it helps ... 🙂 Sobriety actually saved my life ...!!!
Yes yes yes!!.we figured it out 😀
@@GettingSoberAgain Funny hilarious 😁 yes let's bring it on ... That's so cool &; it's soooo cold over here!! Lol Love ❤ & Peace ✌ you all ...
I just found your channel, and I love it! I will have 60 days sober tomorrow. That's the longest I've ever had outside of jail or prison.
NICEEE!!!!! Welcome aboard and happy day 60!!!!
Dude I’m self
You and me both pal 🤣
The greatest "DJ Bobo" anti-alcohol fighter! I love it!
DJ Bobo what now? 🤣
ah you list all the stressful things that could be drinkable events but I think the good times are worse than the bad times. bad time: hunker down with snacks and bed. good time: woohoo I feel super! let's ruin that for myself with a drink. it's going to be the best time ever cos I'm already having the best time.... self sabotage much?
place. home. we've been locked down on and off for 2 years so we learned how to get p*ssed at home for a fiver bottle of wine and not allowed to go anywhere so home it is.
tut. got me on the bad habits procrastination
🔮 4:50
Yay! New Episode! 347 days in!
Anyhoo, my 5 enemies of sobriety are: past trauma, FOMO, certain bars I use to hang out in frequently, mistakes from the past that can never be fixed again, and certain "friends" who are really just acquaintances with a mean streak - in a terrible, terrible way. These were the five things that led me to my current streak of sobriety and it finally stuck after countless attempts.
Yessss I love your profile pic btw :)
@@GettingSoberAgain Thank you so much! The photo was taken early this month. I was at rehearsal in Brooklyn, NY.
@@CCTH-86update?! I’m almost 2 months here soon :)
@@user-wh5qm1lo9l Today, I am 891 days sober while typing this. Still going strong.
Thank you❤
Good food for thought. Thanks!
You KNOW IT!!
Thank you 😊 GREAT VIDEO.
Happy to see your name pop up!! how ya been?
Life been kicking my a** lately, an I’ve been drinking more than usual! I’ve been on this journey on an off all year! Communities like this will definitely help me get to where I need to be! I just need to make some major changes! Bless all!
Thanks for checking in! Did you complete the task of identifying the 5 enemies to your sobriety?
@@GettingSoberAgain sure did! 💪🏾
I watched hundreds of videos and channels for 18 months before I finally quit. You are seeking and have the desire to quit. Keep seeking and you will inevitably succeed in stopping putting poison in you!
@@WheresBillie104 I love it!! Thank you for keeping true to yourself and passing on the positivity
3 pints since start of year to now 22/6/22. Beer by the way
That's a solid effort
My enemy is myself; I started drinking heavily after my divorce to bury my loneliness; really hard to get away from yourself!
That's why one of the goals of sobriety is: To become a person that YOU actually want to hang out with!
Thanks for this. Got to the end without writing anything then got called out. Now I’m re-watching and filling out my sections. Tough stuff
🤣 happy to help
You are the best
🐐🙏🏼🐐🙏🏼
lots of good info in this one jae!👍thank you as always!
I am very very very very very proud of this one 🤣🎉🙏🏼
Having a support group helps. The writing part sounds like step 4
Thank you for your video. I’ve started on and off more times than i would like to admit. Your approach is awesome and hopefully this time I can stay sober for the rest of my life.
Make sure you come to the live streams on Sundays at 7pm so we can talk and answer any questions you might have. ;)
I’m surrounded by people who have no desire to be sober and it’s the people closest to me: my husband, sons and friends. I can distance myself from friends but not my husband or adult sons. So I just have to constantly remind myself of my why: my health. Before I quit my blood pressure was very high, and my depression and anxiety were keeping me up at night. I realized I had to quit and I try to play the tape forward when I’m tempted: drinking = 3am panic attacks. High blood pressure (and I want to stay off medications).
Thank you for this video and all the content you share. It helps to watch when I’m feeling tempted.😊
Setting a great example is a selfless journey. I wish you continued strength, determination, and courage to face each obstacle with the best possible outcome 🙏
I decided to begin my sobriety journey last weekend after a fight that led to a friendship breakup while drunk. This is the second video am watching since I made this decision. Monday the 3rd was my first day and am so thankful for this video. It has made me identify the 5 enemies to my sobriety. Am on to the challenge 🎉.
When ... After work for sure😅
The truths spoken here make my soul rejoice - thank you brother 🏆🏆🏆
awwww yessssss!! thank you, we are always trying to bring the truth to light :)
I am going through a divorce at the same time TRYING to get sober. I quit for 21 days but now I'm drinking more than ever. I have no friends and my family doesn't understand what I am going through because they never drank. I'm lonely and desperate.
What is family for if you can't lean on them during your times of need?
Yep...had the same experience...I'm not a big fan of AA but they can help you out in the short term for a supportive sense of community...
Spot on!
I hope you're putting the list to work! =)
Hiii... Today is my first day of sobriety. I am aware of how hard its going to be. Ive been trying for a few years now, but this time ice decided to learn more about alcohol... Crossing fingers and praying that it works. Thank you Jae for the cideo, ill be coming more often to watch your videos as help. I havent got any friends that dont drink, my family drinks a lot that we've even lost 2family members to alcohol. Its verry sad how legal it is. It is a bad drug!!!
I'm excited for your first steps in the right direction! Keep us updated and be PROUD of your accomplishments!
Hello 👋🏼 glad I found this channel! Thank you.
You sooo get drunks like me. I remained sober for 8 days straight and then busted when I stopped watching your channel on a daily basis. I’m back to give it another go though. Yes, I need to replay this video and “actually” write down the trigger points - which I’m going to do now. Thank you for all your help. Nothing better than a daily dose of “Getting Sober…Again”😊👍
I'm glad you came back, that's whats important. We are NO JUDGEMENT SOBRIETY!
Yes please do the worksheet. It's for you to learn from and to grow with! and you will be continuing to add new things to that list. but be consistent. just like anything in life that you want to be successful at. you must be consistent!
Great podcast!
Really?? I thought so too :):):)
This is one of your best videos
Great stufff ❤❤❤❤
On day 10 of my sobriety journey. I actually worked out the answers to all these questions through my countless attempts to quit this past year. I think that's why this current streak is sticking. It took me a while to figure it all out, but eventually I did. Maybe if I had seen this video sooner I'd have quit sooner! 😅
Thanks Jae for another great video! ❤
You're only like the 2nd person who followed the instructions properly and reported back! I'm so happy to hear that this formula worked for you, for the low low price of $0!!! 😉
Don't forget to share our channel with others when you get the chance 🙏
I appreciate this video so much!!
Don't forget about the new ones 😁

I feel like i answered yes to everything! Ha! I drink to escape, because i was insecure publicly, for grief and loss, boredom, laziness.. wow its tough to be real. But it's the only way to truly deal.
The road to self awareness is laden with truths we've kept from view 🙉🙈🙊
@@GettingSoberAgain hits hard ,thank you
I wrote it all down! Makes me realize what I need to do to quit drinking. Thank you Jae!
Timothy, you da man!!! I'm glad to hear you're taking it seriously. Now take your time, be patient, and remember YOU'RE PRACTICING!
Practice makes PROGRESS! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Woo 🙌 I needed this 🙏
What's the next move?
Thanks , you make a lot of sense pal .
I sure hope so. Who wants to listen to some snore fest lol
Solid advice!
I'm glad you agree! I believe this is one of our BEST episodes!
Thanks man ! Really appreciate your videos! Been trying to get sober. Drinking 12 to 14 beers a night! So I’m gonna do the 10/10 starting tonight! Sick and tired of being sick and tired of this stupid cycle!
One year later this is still a very very very educational video Jae. Blessings on your life also Jae 🙏🏼 Sincerely, Thank you.
🥰🥰🥰 I intentionally made the videos to be timeless so they can be enjoyed for decades to come
I am ready to begin ❤❤ Blessings to all!!
Keep us up to date on your progress =)

It will help me approaching sobriety differently

*Note to self* 1. I am packing my bags for the future. 2. I am getting sober for myself. 3. The enemies to my sobriety are, old trama, brothers peer pressuring, holidays, co workers that use, loneliness. 4. I drank at home the most. 5. I drank to fill a void, to feel better, to forget about my problems, I didn't respect myself as I should have, I was bored, everybody around me drank.
I was not strong enough to say no but with the help of the lord I hope to stop

Great!
I will be watching your videos every day
Well boy howdy! I LIKE THAT!!!
Jae: you are the best! Thanks for all of your common sense and positive vibes!
Hey Patrick! Thanks for the good vibes today! Going into the weekend with wind in my sails 🌬️ 🌬️ 🌬️ ⛵
HELLO!!! Absolutely loving your videos, Jae! Still not sure where my journey is headed yet, but enjoying the ride so far.
None of us know where the road goes, but clear headed is the BEST way to navigate it 🤓
Made the list. Very helpful.
Hooray!!!! I'm happy to hear you're making PROGRESS!
Thank you. this was great
Did you do the worksheet?? 😁
@@GettingSoberAgain yes sir!
Thank you very good tools
✊💪😀
What if your Who is yourself because you drink at home alone all the time? Your what is anytime you are alone, you where is your home and why has no reason.
Then you'd be all of us when we used to drink at home alone for no reason. I love riddles. I used to predial 9-1-1 sometimes. Do another one! 😀
At first I thought you were making fun of me. But I rethought your questions and now broke down the 5 areas even more. I think I didn’t want to admit or remember the things that led me here so thank you.
Thanks!
My pleasure 😀
I love this idea I made my own worksheet so helpful ❤
Make sure to update it as you get new ideas!
@@GettingSoberAgain sounds good
Storming the capitol….🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. I can’t stop laughing!!!!
🤣🤣🤣🤣well not I can't stop laughing🤣🤣🤣🤣
I love your advice
Thanks for checking us out Belinda! I hope to hear more from you soon
Very well done Jae. Your not a therapist 😒 but you sure help me along on my journey. Will be sharing this video with others. Again great job sir..
Awesome! make sure you grab others out of our playlist! or just share the playlist!
Here's the playlist to our most recent episodes!

It's a great channel. Good on you for sharing it. I should have showed it to someone who isn't around anymore. So when you get that feeling that it could maybe speak to someone go for it! I hope your doing well in your journey! Best of luck you
ty bro
Hello you are inspiring me I am going to do this for my health and mind. I want to get back to my drawing life has been 15 years
Well idk about you, but I'm not going to get to live forever. Might as well get rid of the bad habits before we can't enough anything anymore, right?
WHO : Enemies to my sobriety: easily the guys that I date and one of my friends, ghosts (marshmallow-brain) WHAT: sadness, restaurants, hard workouts, loneliness, when: At night, holidays, weekends, boredom, argument, on vacation, first class, WHERE: breweries, liquor store, restaurant, visiting, strong enough of temptation SOBER = no longer a temptation! WHY: I am not sure why I started drinking. My desire to not admit that I have a problem. Why cannot I simply have 1 beer on a Saturday? Why do I feel like a failure that I cannot have just one beer or one glass per 7 day week? What is wrong with me? I watched the whole episode and wrote all of this. BONUS: Bad Habits! Easily: eating crap food and all of my friends drink
Now THIS is a comment worth responding to 🙏🙏🙏
@@GettingSoberAgain Thank you.
Your awesome! How about just simply good days! When I would get something done, just simply feeling good like I “earned the privilege to indulge!” How ironic! What a prize! 🎉😢

Mine was severe anxiety 😥
Hello darkness, my old friend
Alcohol is no longer an option for me after a long drinking career. I remember how tough early sobriety is but it’s the best thing I ever did. If I can get & stay sober, anybody can. My sobriety date is 9/1/2010. I enjoy your videos Jae, thank u
My pleasure! Congrats on such a huge sober streak!
Is anyone else in their 20s or 30s trying to quit drinking? I’ve been to AA and other Christian recovery groups - but the age is usually 50s and up… hard to find similar age people. I also don’t know why that is with recovery groups.
haha im first! hello! 🖐👋
Yeah BUDDY!!! 🍕🍕🍕
Nice
My #1 enemy is seeing how easy it looks once done. I dont believe a varied word anyone is saying.
Im doing this exercise by the way! And its the weekend...great 👍
I'm excited to hear your results and waning skepticism 😁 Welcome aboard my friend!
ENEMY NUMBER #5 OVER WORKING AND OVER TRAINING. NOT GETTING ENOUGH REST
very valuable insight! We can overdo everything just like alcohol.
hello Jae
Howdy doo GW!
24 days, after 40 years. Thanks.
WOAH!!! How's it going Carlos! I could get use to hearing more and more of your positive updates! What's this one, comment #3?
First I drank for fun. I drank for the buzz.
Been there
Hallo, but I’ve been struggling since Christmas, and new year 2004 sorry 2024 I havwVe lost so much time
Its hard 😫😫
What's that?
Ok! So I was sober for 8 nights, and then had band practice... the one that always provides whiskey. So that is my next foe. Not my bandmates, not music, but my resolve of not drinking it when it is placed in my hand. I'm on night two of being back on the road, and I feel pretty good about it. I am starting to really like being sober all the time. It's the closest I've ever felt to really WANTING to be sober. And I tried quitting for a decade, but never actually "wanted" to quit. I just didn't want to drink every day.
You have to want it. How many goals in life just fall in your lap? Earn it, protect it, grow it!
@@GettingSoberAgain I’m on the journey for sure! Sober since that music session! Therapy tomorrow morning. Another music session this Sunday, and my goal is to stay sober through this one! I see those session as my major battleground. I don’t want to give up music, I want to let go of the drinking while doing it. I believe in myself and can really feel how much I am starting to CRAVE sobriety! Go team!
I’m gonna need more paper 😂
😂😂😂
Day 96!
LETS GO TIM!!!!!
❤❤❤❤
😉😉😉😉
👍🏼😉
Hello
Howdy
What if my first enemy is my significant other, who doesn't take seriously my desire to stay sober? I don't want our relationship to end, but I don't want to go on drinking too 😢
The most important relationship that you're ever going to have is the relationship that you have with yourself!
take it seriously, set boundaries, and you will attract who you need in your life most.
@@GettingSoberAgain thank you ☺️
Let’s try together, it would be good to chat🙏🙏
try what together?
Dám i let my work mate talk me. Into drinking 2 weeks in a row, Friday gone i lost my job because of it, lost my wallet and just acted like a dirt bag, this will be my 5th serious attempt a giving up drinking, please i hope i can do it this time
There may be a 6th, 7th, 8th and 9th, but each time we fall short, we learn more on how to succeed. Sylvester Stallone said he was rejected 1000 times before anyone agreed to make ROCKY.
Just think, if we put half the energy into staying sober each day as we did being hungover and feeeling like shit for a whole work shift, days on end, we would have NO PROBLEM.
The goood news is, you only need a fraction of the energy. Just keep working on your discipline. Every good heroes montage is spent with proper time alone far removed from vices, temptations, and toxic people place and things.
We're here to support you 24/7
@@MrChucktait you said it chuck!!
For the who? It would be easier for me to list the people who don't trigger me to drink. LOL
Feeling confused right now man
Why's that?
J I need to rap with you
What it is?
This is ittt!
Man I'm liiiit!
Bouta spiiiiit.
Uh!
You got next verse or what?
Hello Jae just to let you know your videos are dope (in a good way) im still grinding and keeping it real , i been having my moments aint gonna lie , and when i feel that way i watched one of your videos ,so keep doing what you doing
Mad respect my guy! Thanks for sticking with it. Sobriety isn't always for everyone, and it's important to remember that life is all about balance.
Just like daily binge drinking isnt good for us, it's important to always know that the worst of you can always be yet to come.
Take pride in your daily maintenance of sobriety. Take pride knowing that you are putting yourself through the school of life right now, and it's not time to drop out.
There will be a day that you feel like you've graduated, but there will always be more lessons, more tests, and trials by fire.
Keep your armor ready, and your blade sharp!
LIKE YOUR VEDEOS!!!!!! THIS IS BETTER AND EASIER THAN GOING TO A AA MEETING!!
non-alcoholic cheers to that my friend
ENEMY NUMBER #2 NOT HAVING A GYM MEMBERSHIP AND USING IT ALMOST EVERY DAY OR RUNNING ALMOST EVERY DAY! BEING LAZY WHEN IT COMES TO RUNNING AND WORKING OUT!
Spring has sprung! Get those running shoes on
ENEMY NUMBER #4 IS NOT HAVING A JOB AT LEAST PART TIME CUZ ALOT OF TIMES I FOUND MYSELF DRINKING CUZ I WAS BORED OUTA MY MIND!!!
there's no better time to be alive and human history than this very moment. every movie that's ever won an Oscar, every song that's won a Grammy, every led Zeppelin album. putt, bowling, billiards, darts, arcades, boats, planes, trains, automobiles, swimming, basketball, baseball, football, EVERY VIDEO GAME THAT'S EVER BEEN MADE ...you get the point. there's so much to do! now get to it. lol
