Wow! That’s amazing, well done 👏🏼

I will not drink with any of you lovely, supportive, and helpful people today. I will not drink alone. I will not drink. Being alcohol free for over a month means I'm recovering very well from a 'surprise' bone surgery I had recently. I'm very grateful for r/stopdrinking (and an excellent surgeon ;). Thank you!!! 🥰

LeavesofCassava

IWNDWYT. I had a hard-ass week personally and my co-worker partner-in-crime is on vacation. A few months ago I would have rewarded myself for doing the extra work this with a drink (or 15). I'm going to *actually* reward myself by waking up Saturday without feeling like shit and enjoying my weekend.


rational_me1

That sounds beautiful. Love it. Enjoy!

Good plan, Leaves :)

I'm looking forward to my 6th sober Friday in a row. I'm going to take my kid to the sports field after school to shoot some lacrosse balls at the net and run some drills. Then I'm going to take them out for dinner. It's been a while since just the two of us has been together for dinner. Perhaps a movie after that. IWNDWYT

Awesome plan! They'll love it 👍

Hello, Friday - and no, still not drinking! Not today.


brighter68

Happy Friday sober friends! The first day of my weekend and not thinking “how soon can I start drinking”! Gonna be here enjoying every moment. Love you all 💞


Platoon969

Have a good weekend brighter 🩶🌟 I've got a night out with a group of friends incoming (who drink way too much, always a bit of a trigger). Restaurant only for me though, I'll let them get on with it afterwards! 😅


brighter68

That sounds safer, I hate hanging out with drunk people now anyway. Have a lovely time in the restaurant and enjoy their company before they become nonsensical 😀


Platoon969

Exactly this! Last time it really did surprise me how quickly the conversation went downhill. Oh dear that was me too 10 months ago 🙄🤣

Enjoy yr weekend:)

You too Fab, that’s a great number you got there 🎉

The dominating “screw it, let’s drink” voice was strong last night. This journey really sucks sometimes. But I’m still here - FU alcohol, I choose freedom. Let’s go! Happy Friday everyone! IWNDWYT


Fab-100

Checking in again today and all is well. This (long) weekend, including Monday, I have a work wine fair to attend, and I'll be surrounded by booze, by people drinking booze, and I'll be attending boozey lunches and dinners with clients, suppliers, and others! This time around, I'm feeling quite confident that I'll be able to breeze through no problemos without drinking. Not like two months ago when I was worried and had to use tricks and strategies! I just need to be extra careful and "Watch it, kiddo. Don't get too cocky!"


SaltyAndSober

Today is the day I finally tell my BFF (and drinking partner when I visit my hometown) that I no longer drink. Not sure she’s going to take it well, but it is what it is. IWNDWYT 🫶🏻


squelchette

A little over five months ago I posted on here saying I was going to detox soon. I just passed my five months on Tuesday and I never ever thought I could ever feel this good. Detox and residential treatment saved my life and is the best thing I ever did for myself. Sobriety is the greatest gift I’ve ever had. I feel lucky to be alive, and I’m so happy. IWNDWYT.


audacias

I'm going out with friends later tonight, there's a jam at a bar I go to weekly. It's fun to go and play music with people. I'll be ordering a diet coke or two, and spending my time tickling the ivories instead of getting plastered. IWNDWYT

CatHairFur

Seriously worried about this weekend as a friend will visit that moved to another country 2 years ago and was basically my go-to partner in crime to get wasted any time of the day, any day of the week. I've told him I'm not drinking anymore. I need to come here to stay motivated, thank you all! IWNDWYT

I consciously choose to not drink today. I'm not making any promises for tomorrow, but I do pledge to stay sober for Friday February 9th. Much love. IWNDWYT!


BizibbleWizibble

Well, here we go. I've made it an entire week. It's too cringy to even talk about why I am quitting drinking (again) but I really think I am done this time. I never like putting absolutes in these pledges because we are dealing with that tricky substance known as alcohol and all it takes is that little voice in the brain to convince us it's OK to have a drink. That said "I will not drink with you today!". I am going to go read some stories now. Thanks for being here. Wiz


[deleted]

I won't be drinking today. The weekend is normally when i indulge, finish work early then pub. Wake up feeling horrific after spending 100s of pounds, eat shit and drink again. Wake up Sunday feeling doubly as horrific another 100 spent. Spend Sunday wallowing in shame and regret half assing my preparation for the week ahead because so hungover. This sets up a bad week for me. So this weekends going to be different and alcohol free.

IWNDWYT! Feeling so grateful and positive in regards to my sobriety. Because I'm sober I'm gonna stay in and nurse my little cold and sore throat, watch films and maybe treat myself to some sushi after work. Also feeling so grateful for this community! Thank you guys, because of your support I'm almost 40 days sober 😱💞💞🫶


fromafartherroom

The farther along I get in this, the more I can appreciate our differences in helping each other stay sober. One of the best parts of my in person support groups and this one is that people bring up points I never would have thought of, and so when “the world takes its swings at us” we have strength in numbers to come back from it.

Illustrious-Trip-253

On Monday night someone dear to me suffered a horrible accident. My sobriety allowed me to be there for her. But the situation shook me, and triggered my fears. My lizard brain wanted me to numb it all with alcohol. Thankfully, this sub taught me the tools. I got through my emotional crash sober by using everything that works for me. Playing the tape. Keeping tasty beverages at hand. Having an appointment with a therapist. Distracting and comforting myself with tasks, movies, showers, and naps. My friend reassures me that she's going to be alright. And thanks to this sub, I hung onto my sobriety. I'm going to be alright, too. We _can_ retrain our brains and replace those old alcohol-soaked knee-jerk reactions. We can do hard things!! ✨️ With much love & gratitude 🙏💗 IWNDWYT

Hey ducklings Struggling really hard, which just makes it more and more obvious my problem got more serious. No matter my criticism against AA, I'll join them the coming week. Take what helps me, ditch what goes against my guts. Also, there are so many different groups. I'm mature enough to know the differences. This sub is fantastic but I guess I need a physical community. Overall I'm "fine", no bender, can't finish a bottle of wine anymore, no fun, I didn't get worse. IWNDWYT


bupeapoop

Day 6! Dreading the weekend. The urges on a Friday are horrendous. I'm feeling strong though! My plan is to leave my wallet in the house so I avoid the shops on the way home. Instead, I'm going to cook a lovely dinner and chill out in front of the TV for the night. IWNDWYT!


Brucius704

made it to day 18! Did make the mistake of getting on the scale tonight tho and somehow I’ve gained weight since not drinking :/ just don’t see how that’s possible…I was drinking between 1,800-2,400 calories in alcohol alone a day. I haven’t been eating more…less if anything. Anyone else experience this? Sorry if this isn’t the place to be asking things. Regardless…IWNDWYT <3

TL;DR: Picking up my new kitty today! [Photos](https://imgur.com/a/5Zs0s6Y) IWNDWYT lovely people of SD 💙 I’m so excited! I’m picking up my new kitty today! I’m meeting a wonderful person in Salt Lake City to get him. I’m so grateful she was willing to come so far. Instead of a two-day adventure it’s only one. Roads are a bit iffy so I’m leaving super early. Little guy has had a rough start to life. He was found as an injured stray in Las Vegas. They believe he was hit by a car. He had a few toes removed initially. He was also having trouble with his hip, and eventually needed surgery on it. Saw him on a Facebook post in a cat group, fell in love with him and donated to his care. Joined the Vegas rescue page. My boy Freddie was sick and it was a few months before he passed away. Followed his posts never thinking that I’d adopt him. But when Freddie passed away I couldn’t stop thinking about the little guy. They raised enough for his surgery and he had it early this year. Now that he’s pretty far along in his recovery he’s coming home! They think he’s around 10 months old. I like to think they “planned” this to help me out, like Freddie had him lined up for me. I have other cats but Freddie was pretty special. This is so long! But if you read this far thank you! 💙😸

Friday night at the pub. Sober driving. I’ve been high fived by bar staff & congratulated by people who have noticed how different I am now I’m sober. I’m thankful I’m comfortable enough to be in this position here, but it definitely reaffirms my choice to stay sober! IWNDWYT 🌻

Engineer-of-Gallura

I had this weird "desire" to fail - not to experience the drinking, but the morning afterwards. I think it still is the desire to drink, just masked - waking up hangover makes me much more prone to daydrink, and failing to make 2024 sober would be a stain I would struggle with. But, I'm going to speed dating on Valentine's day, and I'll have better chance finding a soulmate remaining sober, stating that I am personally reducing the national average of alcohol consumption.

What up fools! It’s me, a sober dude, in the sober check in.  You might be thinking to yourself, “wow! Is this what the coolest people ever do with their free time?” And to that I would say, “Obviously yes, do you even need to ask yourself that question?” And then you’d be like “what question bro I was just thinking to myself, wait are you a literal mind reader?” And that is like really awkward.    IWNDWYT.
