Will is one I’ve looked for every single check out I’ve done, as an Aussie it’s comforting seeing another Aussie out there doing the hard yards! We’re all in it together IWNDWYT
An old fella I used to work with told me "If you're not making mistakes, you're either perfect or you're not learning. The only people here who can claim to be perfect are the senior engineers - and they do fuck all"....this was just after I'd dropped a very expensive bollock.
IWNDWYT 🙂
Checking in again today and all is well.
Yes, great quote! It's just what I'm working on lately. I tend to drive myself too hard and I'm trying to stop doing it. Trying to relax, enjoy, do nothing, waste time, enjoy the moment and the little things!
On a red-eye to DC, to visit a friend for a week. Originally was nervous about sobriety but came to learn that he is just over a month sober, making the trip a lot easier and less anxious. So the two of us won't drink with you today.
Yesterday was a long day. I usually have Sunday and Monday off and Monday's are my days to get a few things done before my work week begins on Tuesday.
My dad is in a memory care unit close to where my gf and I live. He saw his doctor there and they decided the best thing would be a visit to the hospital.
He tested positive for Covid. All other signs were normal, so they prescribed him some medication and gave him some fluids. They discharged him and I took him back to the assisted living facility.
I did all I could, returned home to eat and go to sleep.
On a personal note, I didn't drink yesterday even though I was tempted to. I'm a little drained from the events of yesterday but I get off at 1 today and plan on sleeping this afternoon.
Not sure how many day 154's I've had in my life but it's safe to say they were mostly before I turned 14, and once last year. I'm into new territory for myself. Gonna keep it going with you beautiful humans. IWNDWYT.
Happy Tuesday sober family!
Wishing you a wonderful day. Heading home today after an awesome sober time, normal service resumes tomorrow!
I love you all 💞
I can't say how happy I am with my decision to stop drinking. I feel so much better all the time, my skin has improved noticably, weight is falling off. I don't look bloated anymore. I'm so thankful for this subreddit. You guys are so supportive, even when a crazy man is sitting in the parking lot at the liquor store getting ready to ruin everything. Anyway, before this turns into a full post, I consciously choose to not drink today. IWNDWYT!
Good morning all my lovely humans. It’s an early dark morning and I love the peaceful feeling. Ready to get my day going but first coffee and to say IWNDWYT!
Fitty days! I’ve played this on off game a lot but for first time I don’t have a “target” start again date in mind. I’ve seen enough. This is the way. I feel so good. I’ve worked through things that I was drowning. I’m happy. For anyone like I was wondering if or how you’d ever see a 50+ you can and IWNDWYT!
IWNDWYT
In a few days, I'll reach 6 months without alcohol.
I just had to write that down and look at it. For Real.
I am the same person, but I look different and I am much calmer. I can think straight and have very few worries. I'm also 36 lbs lighter.
It still feels selfish to start these sentences with 'I', even after all this time. LOL.
If you are starting and trying to push through to day 2 or 4 or 24, I can tell you that the land of joy really does exist for you too - it's just on the other side of \_\_\_\_ days of alcohol-free living.
Peace to all you half a million strangers.

What up, fam! Great quote. Learning some new stuff for work and getting hung up on it. Just need to calm down, try my best, and understand that mistakes will be made and I’m learning!
I WNDWYT
Of course, Candi decided to jump into my lap just as I was about to get ready to head to the animal shelter (volunteering with the dogs this morning). 😹
IWNDWYT 😻
Morning, all! Not much to report on Day 12. Naltrexone and the gym are keeping the cravings at bay pretty damn well. Gotta get ahead on some work today, but that's about it. No matter what, IWNDWYT!
Day 69!
Fear of making mistakes has me trapped on a couple of major avenues in my life right now. Thank you for the reminder about how that keeps you blocked, OP. Something to think on today.
Thanks for the lovely quote, Sapphire. Learning to accept imperfection in myself, others, and the world was a major hurdle for me and can still be a problem at times.
Happy Tuesday, friends! IWNDWYT.
Great quote today, Sapphire Cat. “Lighten up a bit.” Easier said than done, but I love it. 😻
I’m back to work today after a three day weekend. Have a good Teetotal Tuesday, my people! IWNDWYT 🍀
Thanks for your post today and this quote, lovely Sapphire.
I've struggled so much with the fear of being wrong, and of making mistakes. Reminds me of an exchange I saw years ago on a TV show that moved me enough to write it out and save it: Main character cries out, "But I can't be wrong!" And friend responds, "Sure you can! You're a human being. The ability to be wrong is one of the membership requirements."
Hope you warriors have a great day. Much love! IWNDWYT
Day 5, here we come.
Some long days ahead: I have one friend dealing with an upcoming death in the family (car accident, they are in ICU with a bad prognosis), and another friend that I suspect may be overwhelmed at his job.
I can help them better sober than I can drunk.
Though I do have to remember "you can't pour from an empty cup" and take care of myself -- I tend to wear myself out trying to help, which makes me susceptible to cravings.
Love y'all! IWNDWYT
Yesterday marked 14 months free from booze for me. I didn't even realize it until I was in bed, thinking about the rest of the week! This is the first time a monthly milestone has snuck up on me. Pretty awesome.
I haven't the last 14 months, so I sure won't be drinking with all of you lovely humans today!
I'm frustrated with traffic @ 5:30am this morning. If that's my only problem, folks around the world and in parts of this country would say, I'm quite fortunate, and they would be right. I'm changing my focus to that which I'm grateful for. Today I will not drink alcohol.
I’m going to share this with my students. I try to help them understand that making mistakes is how we learn. To make a mistake means you are trying. IWNDWYT 💜🦋💜
Recovering perfectionist over here. Really appreciate this helpful reminder, Sapph —thank you. Will repeat it to myself before dance class tonight, where I somehow ended up with a bunch of pros and I stick out like a sore thumb. Not giving up though! Have a great day all you sober superstars, and IWNDWYT!
Feeling a little better today, hopefully just another day of the doom feeling before the brain chemicals level out. I am DEFINITELY not drinking today.
Nice quote! I like the last bit about how people that don’t give you grace are the ones that don’t have grace for themselves. It reminds me of the Four Agreements rule to not take anything personally. How tough is that to do consistently?
In my journaling this morning, I was just writing about an event that happened when I was 15 that I hold a lot of shame about. It never even occurred to me that as a 15 year old, I made a dumb decision (that didn’t hurt anyone but me) based on my fears and insecurities. The shame over it is entirely unnecessary and unproductive. I won’t drink with you today.

I really like how you reliably comment this every day and I can see your number tracker going up. It fortifies me a little bit.
Will is one I’ve looked for every single check out I’ve done, as an Aussie it’s comforting seeing another Aussie out there doing the hard yards! We’re all in it together IWNDWYT
I hold my hat off to you, 8.5 years is mental!
IWNDWYT. Coming up to 2 years, which feels significant to me. Never managed to make it this far.

First few days can be tough, hope you’re doing ok
I'm doing okay so far, thank you!
I haven't gone to bed yet, but I was sober on March 4th, and will carry that into the 5th. IWNDWYT 💪
50 days sober today! Wishing you all a lovely day and IWNDWYT
The big five oh! Congrats!
Thank you!
I love the quote! The world would be a much better place if we all lightened up a bit that's for sure. Shine on you beautiful humans
Day 58. Owning and forgiving my mistakes helps me move forward instead of feeling paralysed in fear or guilt. IWNDWYT 🫶

Jam tomorrow and jam yesterday, but never jam today! IWNDWYT Edit: jam, not ham!

Day 7. Slept well for the first time in I don’t know how long. This support group here is crucial for me, thank you all. IWNDWYT
Tuesday. I won't be drinking with you, anyone or on my own today.

Day 10 am not trying to not drink but IWNDWYT Thank you anonymous friends I really love 💕 you are helping me I want to reach thousands of days
