PLEASE don’t ever say “I think it was a mistake talking about alcohol” THANK YOU for being HONEST & human and helping SO many people! YOU are helping people & thats what matters ❤️

If anyone at their lowest or struggling with anything had a camera in their face while simultaneously trying to figure it out and still live life everyday it would not be pretty. I am proud of you

I never noticed how much our culture revolves around alcohol until I married someone in recovery. It's literally everywhere! I'm proud of you. You've got this, I know it.

Please don’t stop doing this series, I’m on my own weight loss/decreasing my alcohol intake journey & this is so relatable. It helps so much knowing I’m not alone and I’m rooting for you so hard💖

As a therapist, I am SO thrilled to see you bringing the reality of alcohol into a discussion. Thank you for using your platform for this awareness.

Recovering alcoholic and binge eater here ✋🏼 I've gone 689 days without a drink today. I'm here to say that there's no shame in what you're going through. We ALL struggle with something. It takes courage and bravery to share what you've been sharing with all of us and I admire that! ❤️❤️

I love how Jordan is completely unbothered by the comments. He is the voice of reason that you need and quite frankly that everyone should have in their life…..everyone needs a Jordan. I’m very fortunate that my husband is the same way for me. Jaclyn you are doing great and have the best support right next to you! Xoxo

Your strength, vulnerability and bravery is so honorable. People often say “My life isn’t as perfect as it seems online” but that’s it they don’t elaborate. You have chosen to share the nonperfect and that takes so much confidence. I’ve followed for for around eight years now and I’m so proud to see how far you’ll go

Jaclyn is RECOVERING OUT LOUD and I’m LOVING IT! Let’s normalize sobriety!

We went through a divorce at the same time and now I'm going through a breakup. Your journey is so inspiring and makes me feel like i am not alone! You are doing a great job and I am so proud of you for doing this for people like me!

Clean and sober since 10-3-2012 and I am so proud of you! You are helping more people than you even think. You got this! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Being vulnerable and transparent online is SO TOUGH! But yes .. those people who we help .. those are OUR people girl! They keep us going. You got this! 💪💚

in my own journey with alcohol, i came to realize how everyone's experience with it really is different and what each person needs to recover/get healthy is different. i had to figure out what worked for me. i appreciate you sharing your journey with us and support you in this.

America DOES have some weird ass obsession with alcohol! I hate when people ask me why I’m not drinking! Thank you for sharing this, I feel so seen ❤️ don’t let the haters get you down

as someone who has family members in active alcohol addiction and they refuse to get help for/even acknowledge it, what you are showing and talking about is incredibly brave! thank you for sharing this with us and i wish you the best of luck in your journey

Love this so much. After a separation, my mom and my brother passing last year I am struggling, too. Thank you for your courage.

Hey, Jaclyn! Just wanted to let you know that you opening up about the alcohol situation made me realize that every time I went out I felt like I NEEDED to drink in order to have fun or cause I thought drinking made me funnier… I’m much more aware of that and since then I went to a few events and didn’t drink at all and discovered that, in fact, I don’t need to drink to have a good time. I feel great the next day (no more hangovers), I remember everything, I am sociable and it’s not at all awkward. So, yeah. Thank you for being so raw and honest about such a heavy topic.

As a recovering addict, people who have a normal healthy relationship with alcohol never have to question their own relationship with alcohol. Since you are questioning it so much and have so many concerns about it, that is something to think about. Only you can come to your own conclusion though but that statement is what helped me realize I had a problem.

I feel you soo much girl! I love watching you (WITHOUT JUDGEMENT) I feel so connected with you. I relate. I'm 3 years sober & it's just disgusting for anyone to sit & judge when someone is being soo vulnerable! Just know that you are helping people & I appreciate you & you're journey so so much!!! Love you Jaclyn

Getting to see these little moments with you and Jordan always makes me smile. He is such a sweetheart and so supportive of you. I’m so happy you two found each other 💕

I love this series, I can't imagine how difficult it must be to put yourself out there like this. We all struggle with something. I've personally gone through alcohol issues and I think you are so strong girl!!

I can’t even imagine the amount of bravery it takes to share your life at your most vulnerable times. I’m sure you are helping so many people. Keep your head up and keep sharing. 😊

Thank you so much for showing this part of you life. I have fell in love with you more and more after watching how honest and vulnerable you are sharing your struggles. Recently, I have been having a life crisis and watching your videos make me feel like I am not alone in my current life struggles. So Thank You for Being You!

Your videos about alcohol and anxiety have helped me so much. My anxiety has been the worst it’s ever been and I’ve been using alcohol as a vice to call me down. I just got back on meds and praying I will get through it. Thanks Jaclyn. ❤️

Girl I love watching your journey, it’s so inspiring and I’m starting my own healthier lifestyle and I’m so excited! Love you ❤️

Thank you for being so vulnerable! I couldn’t imagine putting my lowest moments online for everyone to judge. It takes strength to do that. You’re so brave! Much love 💗

Judgement comes from IGNORANCE period. The struggles we go through all look different from one to another. And that’s OK. Judge less. Listen more. Stay strong girl!! Do not let these fools steal your joy 💖

“Quit like a woman” is a great book that dives deep into the world of alcohol and the worlds obsession with it! Was an amazing read

The way you and Jordan talk about the comments and your relationship with alcohol is so beautiful ❤ the conversation is so supportive and honest

Your the reason i stopped drinking alcohol. You really opened up my eyes and really helped me . So thank you for being so honest we all love you and appreciate your realness 💗 forever supporting you

Thank you for being so open about your struggles with alcohol. It is so refreshing to hear an influencer use their platform in this way. I also had inflammation in my face due to alcohol and it was the absolute worst I’ve ever felt in my life. I hated the way I looked, but drinking is so normalized in our society, that it was more normal for me to have an inflamed face then to stop drinking. I’m now nearly 3 months sober and have seen so much of my inflammation go down. Thank you for sharing your journey.

I admire how you can have such a healthy, positive and constructive conversation with your partner. Goalss

I’m so proud of you! You’re GROWING & GLOWING girl 😍🌱✨

Your skin looks so healthy and glowing even without makeup.

So good! Love that you address the fact that everyone is obsessed with alcohol. It’s the truth! Everywhere we go, someone is drinking, it’s romanticized in shows, movies etc.. as a means of letting go or having fun, being confident, carefree etc. but it’s literally killing you each sip you take, it’s aging you each sip you take.. the further you go the worse the dependency gets too! Recovering alcoholic and addict over here so I love that you are opening up about it! You got thi

Your vulnerability is a breath of fresh air. Thank you Jaclyn! That takes so much courage.

As a mom of three I’ve been trying to make healthier choices with food and find motivation to work out and your videos are such an inspiration to me! Thank you for putting yourself out there! Love you!!

You’re right, alcohol is SO normalized in our culture! Sometimes we forget that it’s actually an addictive substance with many major health side effects. I commend you so much for coming to this realization and helping so many others ❤ love watching your journey

I’m bipolar and suffer from bipolar rage. I know it’s not the same but it’s a part of me I’m so ashamed of. I’m so proud of you for raising awareness and showing us what actual real life looks like.

Girl, everyone knows best when watching someone else’s life. Just like they don’t know your full life, you don’t know theirs and that they could be hiding behind their own struggles too with the comments they make. You’re so strong and badass, and need people who build you up for what you’re doing… not knock you down. You can tell when they’re coming from a place of love vs a place of judgement. Take the love, leave the rest of that nonsense at the door. You got this mama!

You look amazing girl! These videos have really helped me realize I’m not alone dealing with my problems with food/alcohol. Thank you for being so transparent!

I have to say: thank you. Thank you for being transparent, showing your good and bad days. For humanizing issues as important as the ones you show. I know it will be difficult, being a public person makes you an easy target to be judged. Sadly our society is like that. But you, you're doing your part to make it different. Thank you very much, because you are doing that part of being an influencer, you are influencing lives, in the best way.

I think it’s amazing that you’ve shared so much Jaclyn! It takes courage and strength to be vulnerable, and to see you growing and thriving through all this muck is amazing!! Great things are coming! Love you! ❤️❤️❤️

I AM SO PROUD OF U! The first few months are a emotional rollercoaster ride and that's for anyone getting sober. But, u will definitely level out emotionally and it won't intense like it is now. Be kind, and gentle with yourself. The first step is knowing that u have a problem. My sobriety date is 2/11/11 from alcohol. U will lose weight after being sober for a period of time. U are beautiful, AND AMAZING, AND U CAN ABSOLUTELY DO THIS! THANK U FOR OPENING UP 💓!

The day I realized I had been abusing alcohol was really hard. Hours later you posted your video talking about it for the first time and I bawled my eyes out because I didn’t feel alone in it. Thank you for sharing!

you’re so strong and to put yourself out there shows how much you care & love your subscribers 🤍

Hey girl my dad and step mom are both alcoholics, and seeing people being honest and not shameful of their alcoholism. Thank you for speaking this In a positive way. ❤️ you are helping children of alcoholics understanding what their parents are going through. Much love.

I am so incredibly proud of you, and you should be so incredibly proud of yourself. Putting your self out there and being so vulnerable, shows me that I am not alone with my struggles, and tbh I haven't identified with others in the way that I identify with you. Thank you!

I love this series.. its so raw and real. The internet is tough and I'm sure you see some horrible comments. BUT you are helping real people and bettering yourself. Keep going, you are doing amazing. Sending you all the love and support!!

I literally think Jaclyn is the bravest person. Like wow, Im a recovering addict and I stress so much about people knowing and judging me and misunderstanding me bc of it I can't imagine telling the whole world that I'm still struggling. Literally think so highly of u girl. Your amazing for doing what your doing

As a recovering addict thank you for being so transparent I personally appreciate you!! No one has any right to judge you because everyone has something they struggle with. Please keep filming. We all love and appreciate you Jaclyn!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻

The morning after yall went to top golf, right when your face popped up on camera.. is the genuinely happiest I’ve ever seen you look. Absolutely gorgeous. I’m glad to see so many people supporting you on your journey! I’ve been wanting you for 10 years now (wow). You’re awesome & you got this!

You are so right people always say “We need to speak more about X , Y , Z” Someone opens up and shares their journey about X , Y , Z Immediately gets shamed smh So sad the world we live in where we can’t uplift one another and courage people to change for the better for them selves!!!! You go girl you rock!!! 💕🦋🤸🏻‍♀️☺️☺️🤩💕🙏🏼🦋

Absolutely love watching your journey and appreciate your vulnerability. Its so hard to document the hard times, but cheering you on!

It’s inspiring how vulnerable & “social media” transparent that you are. Very uplifting/inspiration for all people, especially younger women.

My aunt struggles with binge drinking and she has never seen one of your videos in her life but I sent her your last video and made her watch the whole thing amd she said that she cried and got chills because she had never heard of anyone going through what she was going through and feeling the same stressors and cravings and impulses that she did, your video really truly clicked for her and now she’s trying to get back on track right along side you, so I’m so thankful that you are willing to post these vulnerable moments and I’m sincerely rooting for you!

i’m so, so proud of you! you’ve always been so incredibly open with us year after year. you have such a heart of gold and it does NOT go unnoticed! so many of us will support and love you always, always! oh and you look amaaaaaaazing! 🥹💗

You're not alone babe! You're honestly so brave to keep recording and posting. I'm super proud of you and your journey, even the lows! You're human. Hate comments usually come from insecurity or personal issues of the writer. Just pray people have the courage to discover themselves and get help where they need it. I love you ❤️

I’m so glad you’re seeing how much you’re helping despite all the mentally unstable people constantly coming at you whenever you post LITERALLY anything. So exhausting! I can’t imagine being so bored with myself that I consciously choose to spend my precious time shitting all over someone for being vulnerable and brave. ALSO, I’m personally choosing not to drink and it’s not easy when your loved ones aren’t on the same journey. You’re so right - basically every social gathering requires a person to have a drink in hand. People really are obsessed with alcohol! If I want to host a gathering, I honestly forget that people will probably expect alcohol to be available so I have to run out and buy it! I’m fortunate to not have any dependency on any substance, but I choose not to drink because I’m trying to lose weight and generally be happier (without needing a vice to get there). My vice is emotional eating, and being an abuse survivor, food has been a huge crutch for me. Healing myself inside and out, and trying to only put nourishment into my body, alcohol just isn’t a part of that and actually hinders it. Not to mention, the second I turned 28, I started getting horrible hangovers after one drink, and now I don’t even have to participate to feel like shit the next day 🤣 Everyone out there with non-drinking friends - please support and lift up those people in your life, still include them in things (even if they’re not a drinker / big partier), don’t pressure them to drink, and don’t draw attention to the fact that they’re not partaking while everyone else is. It’s hard being the one person doing something different. We’re not against fun, everyone has reasons for their choices, and we’re definitely not judging you for your choices! 🤍

Girl the fact you are sharing is a huge milestone! You don’t have to share your struggles but you do and you get to see how many other people are going through it! Sending you good vibes! ✨

First of all: You’re GLOWING and so beautiful without makeup☺️ It’s so sad how we live in a society that is constantly putting judgement on others, how alcohol is the center of everything. I actually stopped drinking myself for the past 2 years or so and only have a drink every now and then and it’s a good feeling! Keep being real you doing what’s best for you💛

Just thank you, I can't imagine how hard it has to be to share everything, so thank you for doing so and helping the ones that are here for the help 😊🙏

I am LOVING these videos. I feel like I’m hanging out with my friend lol. Your vulnerability is so beautiful and real. You’ve inspired me to take better care of myself and cut back on alcohol and it’s been life-changing. Love you, Jaclyn! Your real fans are cheering you on!

I love that Jordan is so supportive of you and your journey. Be thankful for that because I know what it’s like to have someone be so degrading about everything in life. ❤️

I went to multiple rehabs, didn’t work. A friend went to one and saved her life, everyone and I mean EVERYONE has a different journey with recovery! It’s not as easy as “getting help” it’s so much more than that. I know one thing though, WE DO RECOVER and YOU have this in the (designer 😉) bag!! Edited to add: it sounded in my comment like rehab didn’t work so I may not be sober now. I’ve been sober for almost ten years now. Everyone has a different journey to get to sobriety was all I was trying to say 🤍

BABE I just started watching but I’m so glad to see another Jaclyn’s Journey!! I’m currently trying to develop healthy habits long term as well and these are so encouraging for me. Keep killing it

I think making your bedroom brighter/lighter will help. I know it sounds crazy but I’ve dealt w a lot of things you do and last year I decided it’s time to change my room and remove my tv out of my room. Going from dark to light and not chilling in my bed at all except to sleep did help me so much

As a long time follower (almost 10 years), I love how real this series is and can we get an shout out to Jordan for being literally the most supportive partner for you!! ❤️❤️

Jaclyn I just have to say you look radiant in this video- so genuine and lovely. I never comment on videos but I've been watching you since I was in high school (I'm 26 now) and I feel so happy for how it seems that you're putting yourself first. Beautiful!

I just love watching you and I’m here for ALL THE THINGS!! ❤️ so proud of you

I am SOOO glad you shared about your relationship with alcohol. I struggle with the SAME thing. I don’t feel so alone and you are so right, the US glorifies alcohol. I am so happy and proud that you were courageous enough to share. Thank you!!! I’m on my own journey too and I know that we both can come out strong and come out better! Wishing you the best!! You go girl!!!

This is the first vid of your journey I'm seeing and I, a complete stranger, am SO proud of you

Thank you for being so authentically yourself ✨ it’s so inspiring and the world is a better place because of it!! Sending you so much love 💗

Thank you for inspiring me, never giving up and being so real with your followers. Sending you so much love and I love these! 💜

I love that Jordan is there supporting and loving you through your journey. I love that you’re sharing your life with us, and I love that you feel good about where you’re at in life! Sending all the love and support girl! Keep kicking butt! Love you!!!

As a nurse who worked through this pandemic in the ICU, I also turned to alcohol to numb the anxiety and pain. Seeing you be so raw with what you have gone through has been so encouraging to me. People who don't struggle with anxiety and depression don't understand how hard it is to be in your own head sometimes. Thank you for your honesty Jaclyn.

America IS obsessed with alcohol. Hang in there Jaclyn and the amount of people you’ve helped….let that be your daily gratitude. Even if you stopped now, you’d have a lot of people thankful for your journey. Ok I had to edit and say, put all your energy into finding a personal assistant that’s going to kick your bootie into making lists and have HER/HE take it from there. You’ve mentioned redoing your bedroom….your PA can bring samples, ideas and just everything you’ll need💁🏻‍♀️ Ok again with the edit!😊your bedroom in neutrals and lots of textures!

Can we talk about how Jaclyn forgot to finish her nose bake like it's so much? She forgot to blend it in. LOL

I’m truly so proud of you for being honest and open about your life difficulties. Nobody’s life is perfect and I think other ppl believe KZfaqrs, Influencers etc lives are nothing but glamorous. Hopefully your story sheds light on the imperfections that make you even more beautiful! Love and prayers to you Jaclyn.

I grew up in a really religious home, and one of the tenets is about really taking care of your body and never having alcohol or drugs. I’m so glad that I’ve never had alcohol because I KNOW I wouldn’t handle it well. Your videos have helped so many people that you don’t even know! 💛💛

Thank you for this. I can only imagine putting stuff out for the world to see🥺. You have helped more than you know. I loss my dad a few months ago.💔 I wouldnt have considered therapy until your videos. Now im doing it. So its been alot of people struggling with weight,depression and anxiety in silence💔. So trust me, you are helping people, like me, who may not always comment. Thank you,thank you, thank you.🥺❤

Behavior like taking shots in front of someone who is deeply struggling with their relationship with alcohol is toxic. I get the bar food when going out for a birthday shindig. But we often see this overindulgence in so many areas of her life. Addiction never comes in just one form. What it does is manifest in many areas until your life is unmanageable. The closets, the excess.... the inability to make a healthy cut off from alcohol. My biggest concern is her support system. They don't know how to support her. Is it fear? That she will cut them out of her life? Or is it selfishness. Who knows. But I know if my fiance was struggling OPENLY about an addiction issue - using that substance in front of them is the LAST thing I would be caught doing. Oh it's just dinner.... oh its just birthday shots.... oh its just a sip. And your find yourself in the same boat MONTHS AND YEARS LATER. We can only lie to ourselves for so long. What I see is enabling and toxic behavior and wishy washy excuses swirling around her. Step back from the internet for a while and GET WELL. Get back to manageability. ❤️

Wow this is amazing. It takes so much strength to share this struggle out loud. I seen so many people on KZfaq tear you down and I knew it was something deeper that you were going through - I couldn’t put my finger on it. Amazing that you are sharing your vulnerability despite the cruel judgments passed on you. Beautiful ❤️ Amen. Your going to help a LOT of women.

I thank you for being so real and vulnerable. You’re not required to do it, but I appreciate it. I’ve been watching your channel for years and I love that you’re able to be strong through everything. Keep being strong, pushing through. 💙💙

Love the transparency. Continue doing this for you. Keep working at your pace!

The real and raw is what the world needs. Sending positive thoughts and vibes on your journey! Keep on inspiring ,❤️

Thank you for sharing and continuing to share your experiences! Highs and lows that is reality!! Gratitude is something I try to remind myself of when I'm feeling depressed or sad. You are such an inspiration!! Hugs

This is a great vid Jaclyn! I really like seeing the good moments as well as the hard moment. I think it puts your journey into perspective as a whole, not just focusing on the struggles, coz that’s life, you know! Proud of you for sharing this with us!

Jaclyn, I've been a subscriber since 2015, and I've always appreciated how real you are. Just remember for every nasty comment, there are a hundred more from people who support you. You're doing amazing. Keep going!

I totally agree how scary it is to be vulnerable! But just know that your days 1s are so so proud of you and appreciate you being so open and honest. Usually each person that struggles with one thing that’s hard there always is more that they feel embarrassed about sharing so thank you! And know we truly love you and are so grateful 💕

Thank you so much for being real and transparent. It’s really helped me so much. I’ve been getting into exercise which has always been a hard thing to do and doing other health things that I wasn’t motivated to do. I haven’t had soda in an over a month which I didn’t think it was worth not drinking if I’m not actually on a diet, but just that choice has made me feel so much better which motivates me to make other smaller healthy choices.

The people that love and watch these, we know your intent and probably watch because can all relate in some fashion 💜. Keep spreading goodness in the world.

I am so proud of you Jaclyn. You’re doing incredible job every single day. Be proud of that. ❤️

You’re such an OG Jaclyn! It’s been so amazing to follow you through so many seasons of your life, you’ll always be my hands down favorite and inspired me always! Thank you for sharing

You are so spot on about an alcohol saturated society! Both my husband and I have alcoholic ex's and we just don't drink. But the amount of peer pressure, even in our 40's, to drink is UNREAL! Best of luck to you! I have seen first hand how hard it is to quit.

You look amazing and everyone has there own journey, no one’s perfect and everyone has problems, you are amazing and killin it at life still! So keep it up, keep your chin up, you are never alone! I’ve watched you for years and you’ve came so so far and I’m proud of you and love watching you and your journey❤️ Side note: it’s true though alcohol is so everywhere and overly pushed for sure this is why I completely stopped drinking and smoking weed, I do none of it and feel so good! So just know you can get there too to your happy medium. Keep your chin up lovely ☺️

Everyone gets anxiety after drinking, atleast people i know. Your making moves towards bettering & feel good. Theres always negative people trying make you feel how they do. Keep going girl.

You are setting an example for anyone who wants to make changes in their life and I think it’s inspiring.

Thank you for talking about all of this. You've always kept it real, and I have the utmost respect for you through it all. 💯

This look is giving me summer barbie vibes! I love the nails and lip combo! I know this is hard for you. You have inspired me for sure! I've plateaued after losing 30 pounds but you've got me wanting to get back on track!
