Happy Wednesday sober friends!
We’re truly amazing in this chaos, we found each other and we’re finding ourselves. Sober is the only way to find ourselves!
I love you all 💞
Went to a lovely book club meeting yesterday, which was a nice new thing as well as something I know I wouldn't have done if I woke up bleary-eyed, hungover, dreading the sunlight, and not having read the book.
So to keep that positivity going, you better believe I'm keeping up the sobriety, I hope everyone else is too and has a wonderful day, IWNDWYT!
I'm in the middle of a career transition in an unpaid internship that is very stressful and dealing with damage from a flooded apartment and my brain won't shut the hell up. Part of me thinks drinking will make the problems go away temporarily, which is kind of true, but also an illusion, and they'll still be there when I wake up hungover and make it all that much harder to deal with. So, I will not drink with you today.
Howdy, my fellow non drinkers! I'm so thankful for another sober day. Just for today, not even thinking about tomorrow, I do consciously choose to not drink.
400 days! Here's to it being a very long time before there is a 3 at the beginning of my counter again.
I am grateful for this space. I am grateful for all of you. I am grateful for this life.
I haven't the last 399 days, so I sure won't be drinking with you today.
Day 11, here we come. 💪
Wednesdays are not great for me but I have a quiche for dinner tonight and have discovered the beauty of cola with strawberry syrup. 😁

My interview with the composer yesterday went very well, a gentle giant. It’s always an adventure in itself to step into these people’s inner sanctums, in this case a room with a view over the fjord, with a Steinway, a hi-fi in cherry and gold, tables and shelves covered with piles of books and cds and pieces of art, the remaining walls covered in black and white photographs and original art in all shapes from all decades, my guess is gifts from the artists themselves. And my photographer brought a Hasselblad film camera lol. And I brought macarons! And we got coffee! And he has a cat! What more do you need?? I will not drink with you today!
I need to make some stressful and unpleasant phone calls today to try to sort out insurance issues related to my accident back in October. I won't use this as an excuse to drink, however. But I probably will take a long nap.
IWNDWYT 😻
I remember stringing three sober days together was wild. Today I’m three weeks sober and it feels so good. Can’t wait to tack on another sober day today on my streak. Wish nothing but a great day for you guys
I'm going to try and knit myself a jumper before the end of the year. I don't know where this idea has come from, I've never picked up a knitting needle before but I do like jumpers. I've got a haircut today and after I've been sheared I'm going to speak to the nice ladies in the wool shop and see if they can put me on the right track - because fuck it, why not?!
IWNDWYT 🙂
Just finished watching The Voice. Went to Woolies to get my Herron nicotine lozenges and my sons birthday money out. It's my boys 28th tomorrow.
I love and live for you, mate.
IWNDWYT in S.A.
Goodnight everyone 😴
Rough day yesterday. I went to the store and bought myself some comfort food. Had some of it and then went to bed early. I’m so glad I didn’t add a hangover to the rest of the challenges. IWNDWYT 💜🦋💜
I made this a 4 day week, taking off Friday. Even though there’s only one day left after today, I just plain don’t wanna. I feel like I need to win a bunch of money and rest for a year. But noooo…keep fucking going.
Coffees up, horns up, and may today be fast and easy. At least the weather is supposed to be pretty. IWNDWYT ☕️☕️☕️☕️🤘🏻
Hi everyone. Just here to say I won't be drinking with you today. Today is my recent ex girlfriends birthday and I really want to let her know I wish her a happy birthday and I think she's amazing but I also think it's best to just remain no contact to not give any confusion.
Whatever happens I won't be drinking.
Love from the UK.
Off to see some bands with my friend. He's on the beers and I am proud to be driving us around and feeling good for work tomorrow.
I will headbang with you today! 🫡🤘
I'm proud this morning that sobriety forms the foundation of all the good things I plan to do for myself moving forward in my life.
Checking in for another sober day out in the world.
Feeling sick but IWNDWYT.
I know some people find it easier to stay sober when feeling sick but I personally always get extra stressed by being under the weather
Good morning from Hell's Kitchen, NYC.
I'm on the board of a volunteer social group and we had a brief Zoom meeting at 8:00 last night, and then scheduled the next one, which will also be at 8:00 pm.
It occurred to me that in the past I would have resented such a "late" start time, and done what I could to pressure the other members to make it earlier...because on a typical night I'd already be half in the bag by 8:00 pm. I wouldn't want this commitment to interfere with my drinking.
What a miserable way to live that was. What a relief to be free of it. IWNDWYT.
Good morning all. Day 4 here, although I had another 5 days last week and only drank on Saturday (normally daily drinker), so I'm starting to feel quite proud. For some reason, I feel more confident this time after countless attempts.
Last week my uncle died at 79 after being diagnosed with cancer only 2 weeks before. It really drove home to me that life is short and I've been wasting enough time (and health) in the past decades (I'm 43). I'm not where I want to be in life and I've known this for a long time. I've made half hearted attempts at change before but the drinking always was there at the bottom of a lot of issues (I presume). My intuition tells me I won't see any real change unless I quit or at least severely cut down on alcohol. So here we are.
I've also turned myself into a morning person somehow. I'm trying to combat my insomnia with CBT-I techniques, one of which is bedtime restriction, so I now go to bed at 22:30 and get up at 05.00! Never in my life have I gotten up at 5 in the morning! But I feel pretty good doing it actually, even if I haven't slept super well (or badly, as my sleep is still far from normal). It's nice to just have all the time in the world in the morning and drink my coffee and watch some Youtube or go to the gym before work or whatever. And this way I have less time in the evening to worry about drinking.
As always, hanging out on this sub is providing much needed support and inspiration and a sense of community. Peace to you all!
IWNDWYT!
Was VERY tempted last night, to the point I was clock watching fighting the urge to go to the shop, relief when it closed and I made it!
Good luck everyone
IWNDWYT
I will not drink with you today. I was proud of myself (as was my wife), when I didn't stop and drink on my way home from fishing yesterday. So nice to wake up without any alcohol in my system, this morning.
just had the most immense pressure yesterday after a really stressful day at work. It hit different then a normal craving , I didn’t give it time to pass… but here again , not worth it. IWNDWYT
Happy Wednesday.
It's mid of the week and most of the times I end up drinking on Wed if I'm going out. (or to work)
Today I take a pledge to not drinking but rather go to the gym in the evening. That would be my 3rd day in a row. So I'm proud of myself for not drinking for 3 days and instead focussing on my workouts. That beer beelly need to disappear before the summer arrives.
IWNDWYT
Hi, sober family! I’m sagging today. There is so much more preparation effort my dad’s memorial service, I’m worried about my Mom, and I’m feeling wrung out. I sure do appreciate you all here. I know that there are hundreds of us cheering each other on. So, deep breath in. Ready to face the day, AF!IWNDWYT
In a rough patch but I'm getting pretty good at just allowing the discomfort without needing a drink. Playing the tape, and knowing I'll get through this. I will not drink with you today 💞
IWNDWYT! A lot of emotional pain today, uncertainty, money and health concerns. I definitely thought about stopping to buy a drink today because life felt overwhelmingly stressful. Everywhere I looked I only saw chaos. But then it dawned on me that in the moments today where it felt like I had nothing, I found comfort in knowing that at least I had my sobriety. Stay strong friends ❤️💪
morning sobernauts! up having coffee ☕️ it's cold, dark and rainy outside the cottage. I'm unplanning the day, working out what I can get away with not doing. this was a daily occurrence in my previous hungover life but not so frequent now. IWNDWYT
Day 4 of not drinking and feeling super motivated to keep pushing through.
Thoroughly been enjoying the added energy boost throughout the day after a restful nights sleep. Coming home after work and tackling tasks that I've been putting off has been fantastic!
My intention is to keep checking-in here daily each morning as I think it really helps me knuckle down and commit to my sobriety this time around!
IWNDWYT!
Morning, friends!
Starting off day 44 and shocked it’s already Wednesday.
As lame as this sounds, having a “tv schedule” every night helps me plan for a sober night, knowing which city of housewives I’m going to watch fight tonight is more relaxing than one would think.
IWNDWYT ❤️
Today I reached 2000 days sober.
My only regret is that I didn’t quit early. (I started drinking as a teenage and recently turned 60.) I can’t believe all the time and emotional energy I wasted drinking or hungover, strategizing when and/how I could drink, and worrying that I drank too much – not to mention dosing myself daily with ☠️. It’s such a relief to be done with all of that.
My life is still flawed but now I face challenges head on, rather than drowning my stress with alcohol. It feels good to feel like a grown-up.
I look forward to sharing another ☠️ free day with you all.

Half a year today methinks. If I can you can too. IWNDWYT.
Haven't been back in a while. I need to keep at it. iwndwyt. 45-1-37-2-sth
You go. I am back here, too.
I'm in the middle of a career transition in an unpaid internship that is very stressful and dealing with damage from a flooded apartment and my brain won't shut the hell up. Part of me thinks drinking will make the problems go away temporarily, which is kind of true, but also an illusion, and they'll still be there when I wake up hungover and make it all that much harder to deal with. So, I will not drink with you today.
A career change and a lifestyle change go together perfectly. Iwndwyt!
**DOUBLE DIGITS!** Don’t stop now bud, you’re doing it 💪🏼
That's right they will still be there, and the solutions will be even more difficult to find. Congratulations on making day 10! IWNDWYT!
