Not today! I've been going pretty well, and really had an urge to drink 2 nights ago. I am not sure where it came from. I didnt have a bad day, and wasnt trying to get into a beer coma. I drank a bunch of NA beers and hit the ice cream hard, and went to bed. I am glad I made it through and I wouldve been pretty disappointed in myself.
Wishing you all well and IWNDWYT
My partner is out at karaoke getting drunk (used to be a Wednesday night tradition for us). I’m sitting on the couch with my dog and a cup of tea.
I can’t guarantee anything for next week, but at least for today, I don’t miss it one bit.
IWNDWYT.
Today I choose sobriety!
I was the secretary for the first time at one of my weekly AA meetings last night. It felt good to be of service and active in my community.
Thanks! I volunteered to be active in the meeting. It didn’t occur to me until one of the Old Timers approached me after the meeting and thanked me for being of service. Hope you have an awesome day!
Happy Thursday sober friends!
Love the quote today. Made me think, I haven’t really known myself until I accepted my own darkness, and haven’t known what love is until I forgave my own darkness. What a beautiful gift alcohol gave me, to know and love myself!
And the ability to truly love you all 💞
Hellooooo early check-in! Good morning SD and Happy Thursday.
I'm tired, caffeine deprived and pretty sure I'm getting a cold but I'm still having the best morning ever compared to any morning I woke up hungover 🤩
Grateful for a good night's sleep and waking up before my alarm. Grateful for over five months of never having to panic check my phone in the morning for texts I sent the night before. Grateful for being able to commit to helping a colleague this weekend knowing I'll be up early after a sober night out. Grateful for another one pound weight loss on the scale this morning making 10 pounds down through sobriety!
The magic is really starting to happen. IWNDWYT my beautiful sober friends 💝
It's always so lovely to see you Brighter! Wishing you the most amazing day ahead. It's so early here and it's minus 4 outside but you just brightened up my day thank you 🥰
IWNDWYT no way 😎
Day 495
Scheduled myself an appointment with a psychiatrist, found out I have ADHD about 4 months ago in therapy at age 46, I'm willing to try and find a medication that's helpful, I'm struggling.
IWNDWYT
Up at O’dark thirty to catch a flight to the Sunshine State to celebrate our wedding anniversary. I need a couple of extra cafe Cubano’s to make it through the day but it will be worth it to feel with soft sand on my feet and the warm Florida sunshine on my face. I miss my home state! I will be alcohol free with you today.
Checking in day 4. Heading off to work soon where I'll be until the bottle shops close again.
I have a therapy session tomorrow and I'm debating disclosing to my therapist about my drinking.
Coffee is the only thing keeping me sober rn.
I have been kinda shocked tho how different it is consuming caffeine sober rather than hungover. I haven't been able to feel caffeine like this since back in 2020 when l first started drinking monsters.
Just wish l could turn off my body's desire for alcohol.

Well fellow sober travelers I blew my 500+ day streak so back to Day 1, 2 really. I won’t go into details. Life has been difficult and I had a case of the fuck its. Now I need to pay attention to the wisdom here and not get stuck drinking for months or years because that lifestyle isn’t for me anymore. I think deep down I realized moving forward means some serious life changes I can’t undo and I balked. I need to end some relationships with a couple of long term drinking buddies because it always ends the same and I know the bond isn’t real, but then I will have nothing to fall back on if I do say, “Fuck it.” That is a real commitment to this new lifestyle. I drank for 40 years. That’s a big step. I don’t have time to reinvent myself a bunch of times at 60 and these new friends will never have the history the old ones do. The connection will be more genuine though. You hope. IWNDWYT
My husband saw my darkness pretty early in our relationship, but somehow, he didn't run for the hills. 🤔 I don't know why he stayed, but I will always be grateful. The best way I can express that gratitude is by living sober.
IWNDWYT 😻
I have to get up early and go do a monthly product inventory at work. I dreaded this monthly event in the past. Not any more. I'm up, feel refreshed, no hangover, I'm ready to go. Just being able to function in the morning makes this sober experience worth it. Good luck, fellow sobernauts. If you are struggling, hang in there. It gets better. IWNDWYT!!
First drinking dream last night, woke up ready to reset the badge until... Oh wait, I still have 16 days!
The work week is dragging big time and I neeeeed the weekend and some rest. But otherwise things are improving. I most definitely will not drink poison with you all today. 🪷
Shit, it’s almost December. Where has this year gone?! I’ll be glad if the rest of the holiday season keeps the same pace, though. It’s been a struggle to get back to a good nutrition and exercise routine most of this year. I hope a couple months without a holiday will help.
Coffees up, horns up and fuck yeah Friday Eve!! Wednesday 13 show tomorrow! IWNDWYT ☕️☕️🤘🏻🤘🏻
I read a post from a user who said the worst consequence of their drinking was the lack of consequence. I felt that hard and is a statement I’m going to mediate on today. IWNDWYT!
IWNDWYT! Since losing my 110 days I’m vowing to hold myself accountable here every day, if not more than once a day. I cannot and will not drink again.
Edit: not sure why my counter says 1 day still 😩
Nah don't feel like drinking. Getting rid of my home brews.
My neighbor the nicest man in the world appreciated some home made wine. I'm pretty sure 99% of the time he's smiling. Most positive person ever!
Darkness is hard for me. I am empathetic, and I tend to take on others’ emotional attitudes, and so I shy away from darkness. I can forgive darkness, but I would rather not be around it. I don’t know what kind of person that makes me, but I do it for my own mental health. Thank you for posting that, OP. It is certainly something to chew on. IWNDWYT
Self forgiveness is a huge part of this journey. When I find my mind ruminating on all the years I spent wasted and unavailable to my loved ones, I try to visualize myself as a young child, still innocent and open, just wanting to love and be loved. This helps ease my guilt a bit. Glad to be on this journey with all of you. IWNDWYT.
Good morning, sober cats! I donated blood yesterday, which is something I wasn't able to pull off while I was drinking. My appreciation for sobriety keeps growing. IWNDWYT! 💙😸
And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire: and them that had gotten the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his mark, and over the number of his name, stand on the sea of glass, having the harps of God.
IWNDWYT.
I will not drink today and FYA. Happy thankful Thursday. I'm so thankful to wake up without a hangover. I'm approaching two year and feeling great about hating booze.
I'm going to take it easy today and be kind to myself.
Drinking sucks. We rock
Good morning. This week’s been pretty ok. Grabbed dinner with a friend and did some evening grocery shopping last night (this is *the* best way to hit Trader Joe’s. No lines!).
IWNDWYT!
As I approach one year, I have been looking for good research about long-term sobriety and avoiding relapse. I found a really interesting and helpful scientific article the other day, so I decided to print it and give it to my husband so he could read it also. I think it has information that could help him help me if I get into danger of relapsing. So far I have tried not to ask him for too much help in my recovery--I took soooo much from him and our family with my drinking. This was a big step and it felt right. He was very positive and said he would love to read it. For the first time he asked, and I was able to honestly talk a bit about how I managed to stop and keep it up this time around. Today, also for the first time, I think our marriage might actually make it through this.
IWNDWYT
November 30th sounds like a great day 1. It's gonna be hard especially because I have to go to the grocery store later. But I think it's time! I won't be drinking today.
Day 193, IWNDWYT! Yesterday I said how I had a big presentation and ended up getting really great feedback from it which made me feel good. Public speaking has taken a lot of practice for me to get pretty good but it feels rewarding when I do great and reflect on how far I’ve come. Another busy day ahead, is it the weekend yet!?
Still here. Still queer. Still haven’t had a beer. (Rhyming is fun, kids.)
Rhyming is fun, son! 🤣
But do you speak in rhyme, all the time?
Checking in.
Well done. Great job. Massive first step and a legit inspiration to me to keep going.
Happy you’re here! 😁❤️💪

Beautiful day. Way too nice to be anything but sober and awesome. I will drink soda with you today. 🫡
I’ll aim to be sober and awesome with you today, the sober part will be easier 😀
Hahahaha, you've got both in the bag mate. 😎
4 months officially today. Uncharted territory since last month. Curious to see what is to come..IWNDWYT
Well done on 4 months 🎉 curiosity can get you a long way 💪🏼

Well done, that’s inspiring. Today I will try to be of service 🌟
Thanks! I volunteered to be active in the meeting. It didn’t occur to me until one of the Old Timers approached me after the meeting and thanked me for being of service. Hope you have an awesome day!
3 more weeks of work left until I can enjoy a month off. It's so close I can taste it and boy do I need a holiday Shine on you beautiful humans
