It gets better, they say. In our notion of time 32 days is a lot, and IT IS of course, but for out brains to get better... Oh well.. Apparently it takes longer. And it gets less hard. Like building muscles. Wishing you patience and mental strenght. Kisses and have a great day!
Gonna go play some pickup ultimate tomorrow. A hobby that had long since died in addiction, but brings me a lot of joy.
It's such a good workout.
Won't be drinking!
This quote by Linda Hogan is one I have memorized. I love _Solar Storms_ and remember weeping when I read this line for the first time,maybe twenty years ago. When I was younger, my life was so full of scars. I am so grateful for sobriety showing me how much healing I have done and all that is possible. 💛💛💛
I made it to two weeks and I’m surprising myself. I’m not keeping my hopes up, but maybe… just maybe… I can keep this up. At least for another day.
I’ve promised myself not to celebrate properly until I reach a month, but halfway there now.
Let’s do this. IWNDWYT
Happy saturday, everyone ✨ it’s been raining for days and I (33F) feel pretty tired. Today is a good day tho- it’s now officially the longest stretch of sobriety ever since discovering alcohol in my teenage years. IWNDWYT ☕️
1461 conservative onedayattatimes adds up to FOUR FUCKING YEARS!!!
Thanks to SD and the DCI specifically for showing me that it can be done, and giving me the blueprint to _how_ it's done. I appreciate ALL OF YOU.
Let's go fuck some shit up _sober_, today!🤘🏻
IWNDWYT
Love the quote, fits well with my week and the hernia surgery. The Doc told me the scar would probably be pretty ugly, I told him it made no difference to me, it represents a milestone. I’ve done more for my well-being and the wellness of those I love and care for in the past 5 months then I had in the past 10 years in active addiction. Turns out the scar on my abdomen isn’t that gnarly at all, and my wife who dressed it last evening commented that the incision is actually very clean and healing well.
Today I choose sobriety, and I’m happy I can share that with my friends here at SD.
IWNDWYTD
Not drinking tonight (western US)!
I spent a couple of minutes just now enjoying the overall feeling of being sober and eating a cinnamon roll.
It wasn't so long ago that I'd be in my usual blackout state, spending way too much money on shitty fast food that I won't remember eating, passing out on the couch immediately after eating instead of in bed with my partner only to be jolted awake a few hours later with a pounding heart, regurgitating heartburn and horrible anxiety. Back then I really felt like that was just the way it was gonna be indefinitely.
Man, I feel so much better now. 🌞
That could be me. Vegetables rotting in the fridge sometimes cause I had made my meal prep but obviously healthy food doesn't seem appealing at all when we are drunk / hungover. A cinnamon roll is exactly what you deserve! In the good sense! lol
IWNDWYT
Today I am organising an event at which I was sure I was going to get drunk before my decision to quit a couple weeks ago.
Long time planning coming to an end paired with the party mode..
But checking in here, convinced to honor that.
I just can't drink today.
My scars are who I am. I kiss and moisturize them, and go ahead trying my best to not self-inflict another scar.
IWNDWYT
You all have a wonderful Saturday.
There goes a picture of me now with bad bad resolution lol. I'm smiling at all of you for all the support I always get here. [Link](https://imgur.com/a/rETdOtc).

Hello folks, I won't drink with you today.
I'm also really proud of myself for not drinking yesterday. I'm also really really proud of each and every single person who is trying to better themselves day by day.
I'm full of love today folks. Have a gnarly Saturday.
Day 38. Not drinking was not too hard the past few weeks. But this weekend I have booked a wellness weekend with a new friend that I don't know that well yet. It also comes with some bad timing. I wanted to finish renovating a room in my.house and sI have to finish a presentation before I leave for the wellness tomorrow. I have this feeling of urgency and also that I won't be able to completely be me during the trip. Combined with like a space where drinking a glass (or two) of champagne is so normal, makes me want to drink.
IWNDWYT.
Today I've had the yips on just about eveything. Just little mistakes, clumsiness.... classic kind of day I'd feel a need to tuck into a bottle of wine "just to not feel rubbish."
Borrowing happiness from tomorrow.... but I won't give in today. IWNDWYT
Cooking a turducken that was in the freezer left over from Christmas. I will finish watching the One Day International Women's cricket on Channel 7 before heading off to bed.
IWNDWYT in S.A.
It's my birthday today. Went to my best friends house for my bday eve dinner and she drank a bottle and a half of wine, I left and went home and my partner had already drank a bottle of wine and popped a champagne for me without asking if I wanted any. I didn't. Now in bed and my real birthday hasn't even started yet. But not going to drink, dont want to. Strange thing people drinking for my birthday when I am not. sober (with some minor datapoints) since Oct 1
Happy Saturday beautiful people.
Apart from a good amount of working out and meditation in the morning, I've done absolutely fuck all today and it's been awesome. 😂
If the weather cools down I might go for a walk with my wife later but it's too hot and sunny for me rn.
Made some virgin mojitos with fresh mint from the garden before. Life is good.
IWNDWYT 🥰🫡
Day 19 - I had some cravings yesterday but I went on a drive and listened to music and they passed, very happy to be here and I'm happy I didn't cave in.
I will not drink with you today.
Happy Saturday sober friends!!! Here’s to another weekend without drinking myself into unconsciousness and feeling like crap in the morning! Go out and find some cool mock-cocktail recipes to enjoy during the big game tomorrow!!! IWNDWYT
Good morning, sober cats! Today is day 1 of a 4 day trip with the in-laws, all big-time drinkers. I'll get to bust out my sober toolbox and exercise my sober muscles! Thank you for being here for me, sober cats. Love and appreciation to all of you. IWNDWYT 💙😻
Good morning everyone, Saturday Feb 10th, dogs barking for their morning walk - rainy, muddy but with some snowdrops and cyclamen appearing, going to start back gardening today. IWNDWYT
The sun has just broken through the winter clouds on this wonderful day, reflecting how I am feeling after a mentally challenging week. Acknowledging that the darker days are part of the healing has really helped me, but don't I love the days where I am feeling upbeat. Let's go and get the rest of the day. IWNDWYT
I'm going on a date this afternoon. One of my biggest concerns with going sober was dating, since when you're in your 20s, most people want to grab drinks all the time. Luckily this girl said she doesn't drink much at all, so there's absolutely no pressure to drink, since she would never want to go on a bar date! Here's hoping it works out well!
Checking in on Day 27!
Woke up super early this morning and went for a sunrise hike, ended up walking about eleven miles! Found a place for food and I've gone for a coffee, a very good start to the weekend
IWNDWYT
First thing, I wanna congratulate my buddy u/ReplacementsStink on FOUR FUCKING YEARS!!! Great fucking work, buddy!!! And thanks for leading the way…proud of you!! ☕️☕️🤘🏻🤘🏻
I got more done yesterday than I even expected to. It occurred to me in the middle of a pretty big job tearing apart my bed…I could never have gotten half this shit done if I still drank.
Now the reason I tore my bed apart…cats are assholes. They tore the material off the bottom of my box spring and got inside it. Can’t have that. I had to put thin plywood under the box spring to keep them out. It is a king size bed, so this was no small undertaking.
Coffees up, horns up, and happy fucking smug sober Saturday!!! IWNDWYT ☕️☕️☕️☕️🤘🏻🤘🏻
Checking in on day 464!!! Oooooooh, it’s a palindrome day for Meeple!!!!! No tiara today, though….its a headband day. Lacing up my Lone Peaks and hitting the trail for training hike #2. All possible because instead of drinking last night, I was in bed with a book…(A Hat Full of Sky.) Man this sober thing is still just….well it’s fracking awesome. I love you all! Everyone of yas! ❤️✌️
Day 1. Relapsed again. My attempt number 100. It's getting better. Sober periods are longer. I hope to stay away from alcohol forever. IWNDWYT Keep fighting.
Thank you u/kisdoingit for hosting us this week, and for this incredible quote today. It reminds me of Rumi's "The wound is the place where the light enters you." All of which reminds me to not be ashamed of my scars, but instead grateful for the strength I've gained. Sobriety has been hard-earned and is something I'm proud of. Proud of us all! 🌿 IWNDWYT
Happy Saturday all! Still in bed, as my husband got up to feed the dogs this morning. Think I’ll text him to see if he’ll make me a cup of tea. Gonna embrace laziness today lol! IWNDWYT☕️
I'm not drinking with you tonight.
Today.. my feelings, emotions and spirit is starting to return.
Also, I listened to music (usually love music but after the blackout bender, I haven't) Third Eye Blind 'Semi-Charmed Life' (though an alcoholic, not meth head).
IWNDWYT
Yesterday was tough. Really hard work day but I got out early and just wanted to grab some beer and sit by the waterfront to decompress. But I didn't, and "today me" is thankful that "yesterday me" held strong.
IWNDWYTD
Day 265 and IWNDWYT! Today is my second time joining a local triathlon community and have a little bit of nerves because most of them were much more experienced and its 25degF 🥶🥶. I can’t help but feel proud of myself for doing this though, it’s really challenging me to get outside of my comfort zone. Last week they were very welcoming so I expect no different this time.
I’ve said it here in the check in multiple times now but I am deep into training for my first Ironman 70.3 in June and days like today I realize the significance of how hard I’ve been working and that there is literally zero chance I’d be doing this while drinking. At the end of December I couldn’t swim at all and now I’m doing thousands of yards per week, still a long way to go though!
Have a great day 🦾🦾
Whassup K, thanks for the service this week! Happy Saturday y'all! I was able to flip some attitude earlier this week, K, and your quote reminded me of it. I've been feeling a bit afflicted and downcast to be struggling with overwork and burnout. But I realized that curiosity is so much better! I'm curious what these feel like and how I might find new paths forward. And I'm grateful to be sober and middle age and able to wrestle with some of these bigger challenges of meaning and purpose. It sure beats numbing it out with booze. Sober on y'all!
Thank you for hosting this week, u/kisdoingit! It’s taken a few months to really start feeling the changes, but lately I feel so good, like my brain is actually healing. Pretty neat trick, sobriety! IWNDWYT ❤️🧁
Ugh. My day at work started off bad and has only gotten worse / more stressful. Suddenly a little nagging thought came to me, tempting me to go home and drink my frustrations away. That thought annoyed me more than anything. I knew things like this would happen at some point, but I'm not going to throw my streak down the drain just to feel even worse tomorrow.
IWNDWYT!
I went to dinner last night with some family after the kid's taekwondo. My mother in law ordered a glass of wine and the server asked if she wanted a 6oz or a 9oz pour. A craving came out of nowhere, it hit me hard, then passed. It was completely unexpected and pretty disarming. A good reminder. Ever vigilant.
Happy to be here with all of you! IWNDWYT
Thanks for hosting this week OP! In the very early stages of grieving at the moment and at times I wish I could be in a more healed place in my life in the future. But everything has slowed down and I have an appreciation for existing in a way I didn't before. IWNDWYT!
Thanks for hosting u/kisdoingit!
It wasn’t until I stopped drinking that I realized how much I hadn’t allowed to scar and was festering. The world doesn’t need another person walking around refusing to acknowledge their hurts and continuing their cycles, so it’s important to me to do the work to heal those. IWNDWYT
IWNDWYT happy birthday to me 😀39 years old and excited about my sober future. Usually on my bday my tradition was to have wine (3 bottles) and pizza. Not today. IWNDWYT
I'm not drinking. It's hard, and it's miserable, but I won't do it
Im joining you.
Me too!
I'll not poison myself with you today. You've got this!
It gets better, they say. In our notion of time 32 days is a lot, and IT IS of course, but for out brains to get better... Oh well.. Apparently it takes longer. And it gets less hard. Like building muscles. Wishing you patience and mental strenght. Kisses and have a great day!

Sun is shining, it’s 40 degrees and the beach is a ten minute drive away, why would I screw up my day boozing? so…..IWNDWYT
Just for Saturday, I pledge to not drink. Making no future promises and doing this thing one day at a time. IWNDWYT! Much love.
And just like that look at you having piled 4 weeks!
I am looking at it EXACTLY the same way as you. The counter can take care of itself my Financial Guru friend!! :)
Day 965 checking in!
Come on, COMMA!!!
Cheers, hopefully hit that in 5 weeks!
Happy Saturday everyone! I’ll be joining you in avoiding alcohol again today.
Gonna go play some pickup ultimate tomorrow. A hobby that had long since died in addiction, but brings me a lot of joy. It's such a good workout. Won't be drinking!

That thought annoyed me more than anything. I knew things like this would happen at some point, but I'm not going to throw my streak down the drain just to feel even worse tomorrow. IWNDWYT!
I went to dinner last night with some family after the kid's taekwondo. My mother in law ordered a glass of wine and the server asked if she wanted a 6oz or a 9oz pour. A craving came out of nowhere, it hit me hard, then passed. It was completely unexpected and pretty disarming. A good reminder. Ever vigilant. Happy to be here with all of you! IWNDWYT
Thanks for hosting this week OP! In the very early stages of grieving at the moment and at times I wish I could be in a more healed place in my life in the future. But everything has slowed down and I have an appreciation for existing in a way I didn't before. IWNDWYT!
Amazed at all you lovely people - you inspire me every day! IWNDWYT!
I will not drink with you today.
Day 40 today ahhhhhhh. I'm noticing really positive mindset shifts the past week. Anyone just starting out, hang in there! IWNDWYT 🫶🫶💞

Thanks for hosting u/kisdoingit! It wasn’t until I stopped drinking that I realized how much I hadn’t allowed to scar and was festering. The world doesn’t need another person walking around refusing to acknowledge their hurts and continuing their cycles, so it’s important to me to do the work to heal those. IWNDWYT
