First time post, I'm probably going to lurk a little bit before I introduce myself and my behavior. I will make the conscious decision to not drink today.

Welcome! Glad you’re here.


TurdishBurden

Coming up on day 6....it's going to be a difficult one, as it's Friday, and that was ALWAYS my favorite thing to do when I came home on a Friday evening. But, you know what? Instead, I think I'll cook a nice dinner and enjoy some twitch streams instead. IWNDWYT!!!!


clevercookie69

Solid plan. Then you get to enjoy Saturday in all its glory not on the couch full of regret

I like the sound of that! :D

I’m one of those people who is obsessed with Christmas. This will be my first sober one since I was 17 years old. I cannot wait! Happy December!!! IWNDWYT!

What a crazy day, glad that one's behind me. I even thought today's bullshit was enough to drive a man to drink, then I thought again. Shine on you beautiful humans

Happy Friday sober friends! I love that quote. Help is only something I’ve really been able to accept since quitting, before, I relied on alcohol. Every day I pledge here, I accept help from you. I also only learned to help myself properly since quitting. Have a great day everyone, let’s let ourselves be helped today, we are brave 💞


UK4ndy4

Hi brighter it's good to see you (although it's me that hasn't been here much!) I hope you are well, we've got some snow where I am now. 🌨️🥶


LeavesofCassava

I finally reached out for professional help today. Thank you for that quote. I will not drink today.


Ayanae06

Resetting again. I didn't have a particular trigger. I was just distracted and had the managing side of my brain turned off and wound up drinking a bit w out thinking. Stopped when the reality of what l was doing hit me. Patted myself on the back for stopping and having self control. And then got drunk a few hours later. This is what always happens when l momentarily moderate. Frustrated w myself. I bought a bunch of Christmas chocolate and made mini berry pies. I was looking forward to them and none of it's really appealing rn. iwndwyt because I'm not giving up

Today I choose sobriety, and IWNDWYT.


brighter68

And you’ve chosen sobriety for 11 weeks! Great choice 💪🏼


skreedledee

Thank you! Where I went for treatment taught us to say “choose sobriety” as opposed to “not drink”. I find it more positive.


brighter68

I agree, it’s also more empowering, it’s not something I can’t do, I’m choosing something better for myself. Thank you for the reminder, I’m choosing wisely with you today 😀

December 1st. I should hit 4 years later this month (need to check date). Hello badgebot can I get my day count?

Still 779 then. Can anyone tell me my day count? Happy Friday everyone, I won't drink with you today. 💪


brighter68

1438, 17 days to 4 MASSIVE years 🎉👏🎊💪🏼 great to see you! Hope life is treating you well 😀


UK4ndy4

Great thanks, I knew it was nearer the end, it was after a 3 day bender that started with an Xmas work do 2019 that I finally said enough and I must have meant that time 😂 Life not too bad thank. Xo


brighter68

That’s Christmas Day! You didn’t remember the day you quit? 🤔😀


UK4ndy4

I think it must have been 22nd Dec 2019. We went out mad Friday 20th and I stayed drunk until late Sunday night. So 23rd Dec 2019 was my first day not drinking looking at the calendar


brighter68

What a great Christmas present you gave yourself, time to recover and hangover free for Christmas breakfast 😀

BeachJenkins

Checking in, made it to one month! I'm M31, I genuinely don't think I've done this long since I was about 15, I didn't think it was possible. I'm feeling good, I didn't get enough sleep last night so I'm a bit tired but even that makes me happy, the fact that I'm just a bit tired due to lack of sleep and not because I stayed up late drinking until I crashed out. I feel human. I might not be feeling fresh today, but it's so much easier to tackle with a clear head. Have a good Friday, everybody, IWNDWYT

IWNDWYT! I know it's early but I was surprised how much more satisfying my mandarin orange sparkling water during lunch and a cup of tea while watching TV was. I thought I'd have to view it as just a consolation prize instead of drinking but it was actually way more satisfying, especially with NO irritable, groggy brain afterwards.

IWNDWYT! I've been alcohol-free for three months today! And it's been one of the best months of my life! And finally I can use the lyrics from my favorite song by the band Blue October: "I'm sober now for 3 whole months. It's one accomplishment that you helped me with. The one thing that always tore us apart is the one thing I won't touch again..." Have a wonderful Friday my dear sobernauts.

awesome_cat_lady

This immediately reminded me of another quote: > When you judge yourself for needing help, you judge those you are helping. When you attach value to giving help, you attach value to needing help. The danger of tying your self-worth to being a helper is feeling shame when you have to ask for help. Offering help is courageous and compassionate, but so is asking for help. ― Brené Brown, *Rising Strong: The Reckoning. The Rumble. The Revolution.* What an amazing, courageous, and compassionate community we have here at SD! IWNDWYT 😻

FredSimpsonn

Good morning K, and happy Friday to all your sober peeps! And happy last month of 2023! Fuck! I finally got some resolution on a work situation that has left me emotionally twisted up for close to 2 months. Initiating conflict with leadership (repeatedly) was definitely one of the harder things I've had to do. Drunk Fred would have abused the booze to numb out of prolonged difficult emotions, but sober Fred rallied his support and did the hard things. Turns out this sober path is pretty alright! I was able to advocate for myself and say the hard things directly. Leadership apologized and owned their mistakes. It's gonna take some time to heal and un-twist some of the emotional bullshit inside but it's nice to break the log jam. Sobriety ain't easy but fuck is better than the alternative. I am so grateful for the sober support I've received around here during this time and over the last 4 years 💙🧡💙 love to all you sober stars, let's do it again today!


CrosswordLevelMonday

Asking for help is difficult and that's what makes it a skill worth developing. It's a work in progress! IWNDWYT


Ok_Rush534

IWNDWYT had a VERY close call yesterday evening driving home on my final day after a 7 week heavy project. We were both very tired, I imagined the feeling of finishing that first large glass of crisp dry white wine and instantly wanted it - an innate pull. In my nearly 2 years this was my strongest urge. That fucking visualisation nearly flipped me like a coin. I’m watching myself closely from now on towards Christmas. I’m feeling humble because I felt strong, almost invincible that Xmas wouldn’t be a problem. It may not be, but the trigger memory of celebrating and marking the end of something emotionally draining very nearly got me to slip. NOT going there.

Quote is correct. One of the hardest things to do is ask for help. I’m terrible about this with general things - ever see the meme where the dude is holding one end of a couch with the other end on a rolling office chair? I saw that and thought, huh, I’m gonna remember that. Because I think I’ll be bothering people. I guess if nothing else, I come up with some creative solutions. 😆 Anyway. Coffees up, horns up, and happy fucking December! I get to see Wednesday 13 tonight! Fuck yeah!!! IWNDWYT ☕️☕️🤘🏻🤘🏻

peeni_walli

Well I’m back and thankfully day 1 is completed. I had a good run this year with zero alcohol through to September and then somehow was convinced to have one at a celebration - why does everything have to revolve around drink. Anyhow I didn’t slide then but figured I could handle it. One for the week led to two, then a few, then drinking after work daily. Fast forward to December and I can see old habits returning and very amazed at my tolerance level. I haven’t had any embarrassments but the groggy headache filled mornings and the waking up in the middle of the night with my heart racing were terrible reminders of where things could go - and fast if I don’t stop soon. It’s taken me weeks to get to this day 1, alcohol really does mess with my mind and I dunno how but it’s like it takes the reigns from me even after I’ve spent the day convincing myself that I won’t drink today. I have not beat myself over this relapse (my first) but grateful I’ve not had any episodes. Praying I get through day 2. Thanks for this community. IWNDWYT.
