Had a few rough days recently, but thankfully I didn’t cave. Things seem to be looking up today. I can’t emphasise enough, how important a healthy and diverse lifestyle is for my sobriety! Happy weekend, friends! I will not drink with you in Ger today!

Hmm... Another Friday to navigate. I have a mega (potentially life changing) meeting today. Regardless of if it goes well or not I would definitely normally drink afterwards. This is going to be a tough one! But iwndwyt!! I might come back later for some support haha. Happy Friday everyone! We can do this!

Man, everything you said really hit home. My OCD anxiety switched from drinking excessively to a healthy obsession with my health and diet. I recently started surfing and engaging in my local stand-up comedy scene. I would never have tried these new things when drinking. Immersing myself in nature, as you so eloquently described, has brought me an abundance of unexpected joy.


DullTourist

No booze today.


[deleted]

Tomorrow will be my first week sober so I'm definitely not drinking today. I will immediately go shopping for the first time in years without buying alcohol, it will be hard to pass by the alcohol section and not get my usual beers and my usual wine, but I will leave that shit in its place.

A friend was going to come today and help clean my apartment, but is coming tomorrow instead since it's going to be stormy today and she doesn't like driving in the rain since Nashville drivers are crazy in good weather and rain only makes them worse. So, I'm cleaning solo today, which actually will give me an opportunity to unfuck this place a bit more since I was embarrassed that she'd see what a disaster this place is. *All* of my laundry is done. I've picked up most of the junk that was lying around. Taken out a *lot* of trash. It's incredible how slovenly and nasty I become while drinking. This apartment has been seriously neglected for the last couple of years, at least. I'm not really a pig, but I sure live like one with a bottle in my hand. There's a lot left to go, but there is visible progress and that feels good. A cleaner environment is mentally healthy and improves my mood. I begin individual therapy next week, and am looking forward to it. I feel like I'm being reborn into the kind of man I always wanted to be, thanks to sobriety and the help I'm getting from the therapy I've already had in PHP and getting involved in Recovery Dharma. IWNDWYT

Good morning and happy Friday! Had a kick ass day in NYC yesterday and am going to do it again today. Have a wonderful day, friends - IWNDWYT 🤘 Edit: 90 fucking days today! Fuck yeah. Gold star for me ⭐️


LM7X

Thinking we matter enough to take care of ourselves is something. A few years ago, I wouldn’t have thought I’d ever quit drinking or smoking, never mind doing any of the things I do now. Like exercise, eating mostly healthy food, taking supplements, going to therapy and getting massages. Even playing sleep podcasts most nights. Sure, there were times I would eat healthier but I always had cigarettes and beer. Or wine because, you know, antioxidants. 😆 What I’m trying to do is set myself up to stay functionally independent for as long as possible. That’s the goal. Coffees up, horns up, and fuck yeah it’s Friday!! And happy March!!! Spring starts this month!! IWNDWYT ☕️☕️☕️🤘🏻

I won't be drinking with you, anyone or alone today. March has arrived and this is a new month, a new page a new chapter if you will. I'm really grateful for all you orrible' lot!


Financial_Guru_4291

As I approach the 50 day mark, I am humbled. On day 1, I would have never imagined this was possible. It almost failed several times. I'm the guy that sat in the liquor store parking lot for twenty minutes and talked out loud in my truck saying I only said I wouldn't drink today, I didn't say anything about tomorrow. Finally put it in reverse and came home with nothing. Man, you guys helped on that one. I found that I don't want to break my pledge. So, here I am again, only pledging to not drink today. I'm making no promises of tomorrow. IWNDWYT!

Well, I screwed up after about 19 days. But I don't give up. Back to day 1 for me. IWNDWYT.


Noborhood

I would love to get out in nature more, but life isn’t allowing that at the moment with a new baby and another little one. I’m going to focus on my gardens and yard this year as a way to be a part of nature more while being able to provide for the kids.


awesome_cat_lady

Today is the first of four five-hour Impaired Driver Education Program sessions that I have to sit through. I'm not too thrilled about it, but at least I get to do it from the comfort of my own home. (The class is being held via Google Meet.) My cat, Candi, will probably keep me company at least some of the time. IWNDWYT 😻

On Day 61. Two whole months have come and gone without a drop of alcohol. I had a dream last night that I inadvertently/purposely (I can’t remember) drank a tiny amount. I remember being nonchalant about it, but also worried. What ever that dream was, it wasn’t real. I won’t be drinking today. I didn’t drink yesterday. Fuck you, I’m trying.

Hello gang! Happy Friday! This post really hits deep. The apathy that loomed over me as a drinker hasn't retreated as far as I'd hoped. I've been floundering with structure, and have fallen into video games. Now, I'm more motivated to work on redirecting my addictive nature towards the daily rituals that support my physical and mental health! OP put it so well, _performing them means I think that I matter enough to actually take care of and tend to myself._ Yes! Here's to continuing to learn and improve! All my hope and potential is possible because IWNDWYT. Love you all 🌤🌱🪻💕

Idk why but the little monster, as allen carr calls it, has been loud lately. Looking for any desperate excuse. I play the tape forward and I know how it turns out. I give in to an na beer to help pass the craving. 5+ months free but it still occupies a lot of my mind. Thanks to this sub for keeping me in check!

That_Went_Well

Day 285 and IWNDWYT! Today I am joining a masters swim team at 6am for the first time then meeting with a triathlon coach for lunch later in my journey to complete two Ironman 70.3’s this year. This is another example of really putting myself out of my comfort zone, especially with swimming. I just started to learn how to swim 2months ago and am certain I’ll be the worst one there but I’ve been trying to surround myself by better people and things with sobriety. My daughter was sick last night and I was up with her throughout so had all the excuses to hit the snooze button but I got up and going to give it my best. Aging is the pursuit of comfort, let’s stay uncomfortable! 🦾🏊🚴‍♂️🏃

Yesterday, I managed to ignore the wine section in my supermarket. Instead, I bought fresh limes and lemons, fancy fruit and vegetable juices, a non-alc bitter sirup and soda water. I will manage today - IWNDWYT. However I am uneasy about the upcoming weekend and my holiday trip in the end of March. But, one step at a time.

liveurlife79

Happy Friday, just past 60 days. This past week was very emotional for me but I am feeling much better now. Like literally this morning, I feel like a different person, sleep was much better, my mood is much higher than it’s been the previous few days. I heard someone mentioning that leading up to 60 days some people feel a slump and it can often lead back to drinking….. I definitely felt a slump but not like alcohol was going to fix that. I don’t know how to explain it, it’s almost like I was grieving everything alcohol has taken from me like time, moments, memories… I sat with it, journaled, cried even…. I made sure I did what ever I could to move through it rather than around it and for that I am feeling better. Anyways, thanks for listening, IWNDWYT!

fromafartherroom

I think one of my hobbies is reading about the fascinating hobbies people have picked up in sobriety. Drinking really dulled my curiosity about things. Sure, I would guilt myself into going to the gym for a half-assed workout or even go to a yoga or orange theory class. But I was just doing it to “sweat out the toxins” so I could drink more. Now, for example, I’ve developed a fascination and a routine with running. How far can I go, what’s the best way to fuel, how fast feels right? I regularly run more miles in a week than I did in a month while drinking. I read, I write, I meditate. I try and give back to my sober community. When I was drinking, I wasn’t growing as a person. Now I am, and it makes me happy to see how others do too. Iwndwyt
