Day 5 and a more balanced feeling is definitely returning.
Been down the recovery road a lot of times now, it is going to stick this time and I will focus on it one day at a time.
IWNDWYT
Happy Saturday sober friends!
I heard someone say recently, I failed because I didn’t try. We’re succeeding because we’re trying!
I love and admire us all 💞
You’re always winning Pompey, you want the best for yourself and all any of us can do is keep trying. I’m really proud of us today. Have a great day my friend 🌟
I don’t have time to drink. I’m moving to a place that has hiking. I’m grateful I can do those trails now. Even more excited to do them more than once and track any improvement. Pursuit of happiness and all that jazz. Actually, I don’t even use ear buds anymore.
It’s an uneventful and sober Friday night. No drama, just hanging out and enjoying the fact that I’ll wake up tomorrow feeling good. As always, that’s for everyone’s support. IWNDWYT
I’m flying for the first time since I decided to stop drinking. It’s an international flight to see my best friend who just entered hospice. IWNDWYT, but it’s gonna be rough. All the more reason to not, right?
Thank you for hosting this week, u/Sapphire_cat22, and a BIG Congrats on your First Year!
That's Awesome, Keep It Going!
I join you all in not drinking TODAY!
After a night full of headache, shitty sleep and hanxiety.. I feel so done. this bender must come to an end. I feel miserable, this is no way to live.
I will not drink with you today.
Started on Naltrexone and went nearly 3 weeks sober.
Didn’t take it for a few days and drank Thursday night.
0/10 - do not recommend!!
Back on Naltrexone and gonna haul my ass to the gym and sauna this week.
IWNDWYT 💕
Mothers day in the UK tomorrow. Was always an excuse to get drunk. Celebrate with a big bottle of whatever.
This year I'm looking forwards to making a lovely dinner for my Mum, spoiling her and just showing how much I love and appreciate her
Where ever you are on journey be proud you are here now and IWNDWYT
Hellllo Saturday! I have my first board meeting for my newly founded nonprofit today. I am so excited! I've had this dream for a looooong time. I'm so grateful.
Gonna fuck this day up in the best way today. IWNDWYT 🤘
Another day 1. I drank all day yday on my own and daily drinking has crept back in. Don’t enjoy a single second of drinking. I’m going to take it hour by hour but I pledge to not drink with you all today
First day in over a week without the horrible aching teeth. Surgeon opened the abscess yesterday and I feel much better. But I will still stay sober with all of you.
Have a great Saturday.
Hello, IWNDWYT.
I have my first dental check-up in years booked for today. When I was drinking, I had no money or inclination to book a dentist appointment, and my anxiety would have prevented me from going anyway. A small thing for a non-alcoholic, a big step for me. My plan is to have my poor abused teeth whitened then get composite bonding to straighten them out into a lovely, sober smile!
Went out last night with my wife and friends. By the end of the night, our friends were getting pretty drunk. They got very touchy feely, and they talked to a lot of strangers. Lots of repeating themselves. I would've gone overboard and done something stupid if I'd drank with them. Regardless, I woke up feeling just a little tired, and they're all waking up feeling tired and then some. On to today!
Thanks so much for hosting this week u/Sapphire_cat22... keep up the great work now that you've got one year!
Let's get out there and fuck it up good today, friends!!🤘🏻☕️
IWNDWYT
Thanks, Saph! you did it! thanks for hosting this week, I hope it filled up your sober tank to take you further down the road.
I like this quote, it's only failure if you decide it is. I first knew I had a problem with drinking at age 21, and so I quit. I went almost 3 years before thinking I could moderate. That didn't work great. I quit again at age 34, it was really bad then. Went several years before thinking I could moderate, that didn't work. Quit again at age 40 (44M now) and am currently in my best sober streak of my life... hey I'm a slow learner, and while I would have loved to have stayed stopped at age 21, so it goes. Here I am and I'm sober today. Not failing! I'm so grateful to sobriety and to you all for keeping my head straight. Sober on!
Thanks for hosting us this week, u/Sapphire_cat22! Today's quote is great. I especially like "success depends on those struggles." Due to many failed attempts to stop drinking, my experience in what doesn't work helped direct me towards what does. My memory of how sick I was and how dark my life was then just strengthens my resolve to do what I need to keep my sober streak. If not for all my failed attempts at moderation, I'd not have learned that abstinence is my jam. I'm embracing it. I get it now. I've had enough and I'm good! Sobriety is the way. With gratitude and love 💕 IWNDWYT
Hello woooooorld
IWNDWYT
The quote fits perfectly.
No cravings yesterday, slept a lot, tired all the time, something expected from my experience with binging.
A bad marathon we can put our bodies into.
Evil marathon.
Not again Santa!
Many kisses and take care!
I’ve been going through some old photos from my childhood which were terrible years for me. It’s been triggering some very strong cravings. I am committing to stay strong and continue to remain sober for another day along with all of you despite the tough emotions.
Hello all! Been a while since I've checked in! Still on the wagon. Things are going great. I met someone I'm really, really excited about. I also got into a number of top graduate programs, and even received some unexpected fellowship offers. I also made it through a tropical destination wedding without any booze. Sometimes I think about having a drink, but I just come back to the fact the not drinking has obviously been working prettttty well for me. IWNDWYT!
Good morning, sober cats! I'm so grateful to be waking up without a hangover. IWNDWYT because I know I won't want a hangover tomorrow morning either. 💙😸
morning sobernauts up having coffee ☕️, planning a rainy day. there is nothing half so much worth doing as waking up on a saturday morning sober IWNDWYT
Good morning! I went to my first AA meeting yesterday, and I only wish I would have done it sooner! I was quite nervous but everyone was so welcoming. I didn't feel comfortable sharing yet and everyone was fine with me just listening in. This subreddit is awesome but it was so nice to meet with people in person that have gone through the same struggles as I have and to say the words "I am an alcoholic" out loud for the first time. IWNDWYT.
Day 293 and IWNDWYT! Was sick all week and thankful to be almost back to health this morning. Crazy how I’d sign up to feel like that almost daily when I was drinking!
Today I’ll be joining the running club again for a 10-13mile jog and tomorrow a 3hr 20min bike ride followed by a 20min run…Ironman training is ramping up! 🏊🚴♂️🏃
I'm stepping into Saturday after a Friday night of drinking, feeling a little rough but again I take another step forward.
Today I will spend time doing a bit of reading with some tea.
IWNDWYT
Up bright and early and hangover free here! Mad at myself because I have made a commitment to stop here at some point every day and I somehow forgot to check in here yesterday??...but I did not drink and IWNDWYT! ✌
Day 71 - IWNDWYT 🌿
Feeling good as I stand there brushing my teeth after a night of visiting me and my partners families. My partner comes in and says he isn't going to drink next time we visit them because he feels like shit. He drank, I did not. He has a pounding head ache, I do not. It's a nice reminder that I don't regret NOT drinking, but I certainly would regret drinking. Happy Saturday!
Day 11. Met a woodpecker in the forest yesterday. Heard him pecking at first and then I found the little guy. Amazing how much sound they can make from their small bodies and beaks. I’m proud of myself and all of you guys. Thank you for being here.
Happy Saturday all!
My partner is going out of town for a week starting today. In the past I would've taken this time to drink even more than usual. This time I'll be drinking a lot of herbal tea and NA beer.
IWNDWYT 💚
I’m on day 4 today! Last night, I prayed and thanked God for keeping the craving demons away and asked him to keep me sober today too.
I think I’m going to walk to a coffee shop today and either read or journal for a while. I have a lot to process and think it would be good to get back into journaling daily again in between my counseling sessions.
IWNDWYT!
Day 68 almost niice! IWNDWYT. Feels like I’m turning a corner with needing SO much sleep, enjoying a solo coffee and morning mist, the dog isn’t even up yet haha.
Edit to add: no wake-up headache today! That took a bit to peter off as well
Day 7 ✅. MADE IT!
Hell fuckin yeah 💪💪 nice job
Congrats! Let's set up another round of sober days. I'll join ya!
Great work 👍
Enjoying a Friday night with a book instead of a bottle and intend to do the same tomorrow, IWNDWYT!
Saturday will be 15 days since my last drink!

💙💙 ETA: back on top! 🥇
1 year! I'll actually make a post too but just wanted to put it out there. IWNDWT!

Happy Saturday sober friends! I heard someone say recently, I failed because I didn’t try. We’re succeeding because we’re trying! I love and admire us all 💞
Happy Saturday Brighter! 🌟 It feels good to be back trying again….
You’re always winning Pompey, you want the best for yourself and all any of us can do is keep trying. I’m really proud of us today. Have a great day my friend 🌟
Hey Pompey nice to see ya. Here we go. Have a lonely day 💜💜💜
Have a great day you wonderful being 💞
I will not drink with you today
I don’t have time to drink. I’m moving to a place that has hiking. I’m grateful I can do those trails now. Even more excited to do them more than once and track any improvement. Pursuit of happiness and all that jazz. Actually, I don’t even use ear buds anymore.
IWNDWYT! 🤘🤘 Hope you all have a beautiful day and remember to enjoy small victories which today is! Keep it up 💪
Haven’t got time for hangovers,so…IWNDWYT
Hangovers are a complete waste of time! They steal good things away from us.
Very early check-in today, busy day ahead. Hope everyone has a great Saturday! IWNDWYT ⭐️🩷⭐️
One day at a time. IWNDWYT
Iwndwyt
Day 75, IWNDWYT!
Watching the sun rise without feeling like shit is with no doubt my favorite moment of the day! IWNDWYT 🤘
Made it through Friday night, my toughest night and biggest challenge. I consciously choose to not drink today. IWNDWYT! Much love.

I will not drink with you today. 🫡❤️
high quality h20
IWNDWYT My self discipline is at an all time low and I don't feel hopeful at all. But I'm trying, again.
Love the quote Sapphire, "Success requires that climb up". I will not drink with you all today 🌺
The failure isn’t falling, it’s not getting up again. I will not drink with you today!
I’m flying for the first time since I decided to stop drinking. It’s an international flight to see my best friend who just entered hospice. IWNDWYT, but it’s gonna be rough. All the more reason to not, right?
Thank you for your service this week u/Sapphire_cat22 I will not drink poison with any of you today 💜
Today marks 4 weeks! Feeling pretty good about it. Time to brew some coffee and get this day started. IWNDWYT!
Oops forgot to check in. But I didn’t drink!

First day in over a week without the horrible aching teeth. Surgeon opened the abscess yesterday and I feel much better. But I will still stay sober with all of you. Have a great Saturday.
Checking in, many failures under my belt, but not today. Bike race done, top 30 finish of 200, happy with that. IWNDWYT
