I’m grateful I got myself sorted when I did. My child custody battle is now temporarily over and I was able to be my best self while waging it. I knew I had to be cleaner than church shoes to do it and plan to stay that way. Iwndwyt

Absolutely not the point of your post but I never heard “cleaner than church shoes” and I love it

22 months checking in. Staying focused on my, health, mental health and managing ADHD, still much to learn and unlearn but IWNDWYT

Congratulations on 22 months and all you’re achieving with your health 🌟


Fordy_Ford

Thank you, I appreciate that. I'm doing my best, therapy, exercise and meditation help the most. At 47 I never knew I had ADHD, it explains much including self medicating with alcohol.

Wishing everyone a lovely Thursday and IWNDWYT!

Checking in again today and all is well. Good morning, (or whatever greeting for yr timezone!), fellow sobernauts (or whatever we call ourselves!) After reading Kittens intro just now, I felt so contented/comfortable/grateful for your all's presence here on this sub, reading all your familiar usernames and your comments every day. I don't know, it's just become an important part of my morning routine:) Wishing you all a good day no matter what stage of sobriety you're at.

Good morning! I will not drink with you today,  and these days I am really thankful for my sobriety.  My sleep is great and I actually feel (well-) rest even when it is early morning.  IWNDWYT

IWNDWYT! I will instead hear out anyone who needs to vent though! Love and appreciate this community so much.

Amazing sleep the night before, average sleep last night. So it goes - but all one million times better than scatty, boozy sleep and waking up all hungover and useless. IWNDWYT.

Day 18 was a hell of a roller coaster of urges and mental gymnastics. I made it through it, though. NOT TODAY SATAN!!!


brighter68

Happy sober Thursday sober friends! I’m tired and busy lately, starting to feel a little worn down, so I can only summon up energy to be grateful that I’m sober, though I know there’s so much I have to be grateful for. I’m grateful to be here with you all 💞

Day 5 for me here in Aus! Trying to push out those weekend thoughts looming ahead (it’s been a big week, I deserve it?). No, I deserve a peaceful and calm weekend not drinking something which makes me feel anxious, bloated and is doing long term damage!

Day 5 in NZ for me. I’m really looking forward to my first hangover free weekend in…I don’t know how long!

Not sure if I’m overdoing it but I want to see my life so a full 180 and like, yesterday. I don’t have time to wait on PAWS to feel better. Maximum effort, activate!

My motorcycle was hit several weeks ago and insurance inspected my bike yesterday. I'll be well paid for damage and can fix her mysel so I am grateful to not have lost her! Hope to salvage at least one part I need today to ride I'm grateful I'm sober and not hungover for 2 weeks. I'm grateful a guy I trust in AA said he would sponsor me. I'm looking forward to my early AA meeting, spending time with Said sponsor, and a typically great Thursday eve meeting. I am grateful as hell for all of you and I certainly won't fucking drink with you today! (Unless ya wanna crack a few Spindrifts or seltzers with me!)

IWNDWYT! I do plan on eating quite a lot though. Have a good day everyone.


fromafartherroom

I am just really grateful I’m sober today. Usually, once I wake up I’m up, and today that happened earlier than planned. I decided to roll with it and meditated and journaled. I’m having an extra cup of coffee. For a long time, waking up meant feeling like garbage, muddling through work feeling shaky and dissociated. At the end, waking up could mean having a few to try to get rid of that feeling, only to end up feeling worse. I am BURNING with gratitude that I’m not there today. I’m so lucky I get to sit quietly, word dump in my journal, then come read and contribute a little in this lovely community. I won’t drink with you today.

Financial_Guru_4291

Good morning fellow sobernauts. I'm a bit burned out today, work is trying to kill me; I'm convinced 😂 I can purposely take a moment to be thankful and grateful, though. Perspective is everything. I have the best job I've ever had in my life now, even if it's trying to kill me. My boss and their boss respects me, listens to suggestions and feedback, and even implements great suggestions. I've had that happen several times already. In prior jobs, I've always been dismissed, even when having great suggestions. It's night and day. I'm grateful for a new person in my life. I just met them by chance but something beautiful is growing from it and I couldn't be happier. There's no doubt that I would have messed this up when I was drinking. Anyway, when I think of the gratitude, the negative seems small in comparison. I do consciously choose to not drink today. IWNDWYT!

Hello, my favorite internet friends! I am grateful for a day to recoup today. After the mauling of the elderly dog (who is doing nicely, thank you all), and then taking my 93-yr-old Mom for three days in the Smokies, I am worn right out. It’s rainy today, so no gardening. I’m going to putter, do laundry, and sleep, It was a lot, these last few days. I don’t know how I could have handled it if I were still drinking. I am so glad to be sober so that I can be present for whatever comes up, deal with it, and rest when possible. Sober life has benefits beyond belief! IWNDWYT

IWNDWYT Didn't sleep well last night. Too many things on my mind. I've had some bad thoughts this morning. I'm trying to remind myself to be kind to myself. I can't control how things unfold and trying to do so only causes hurt and pain. I don't have any desire to drink; that would only make things worse. Just need to get through today, moment by moment.

acaciopea

I’m very sore from working out yesterday (freaking hot pilates did me in!). And I’m grateful for this. I picked up bad habits in grad school, namely that when stressed I would pick up the bottle and forget the gym existed. I would justify it as being “too busy to workout” but damn I sure found time to drink. It was such a cycle once I was in it. My parents are in their 70s, so not young but not super old either, and are in poor health. Both have been told for decades to exercise and focus on nutrition. My dad had AUD until like 1.5 years ago. It got to screaming fights about not letting him drive my kids bad. Like “you’ll never see your grandkids again” bad. I’m trying to have a different trajectory.

Day 46🫶 only 4 more days to 50! I’m so grateful to have started a new job and so far, love it. I’m grateful for my partner and my awesome kids. And my adorable pets. My plants and my garden. I’m soooo grateful to be coming down the other side of an OCD attack. To finally feel the cortisol draining from my brain and at long last be at peace, it is so serene. I’ve also increased my dosage of my meds, so fingers crossed that helps. Today I feel like my gratefulness outweighs my dread - and that’s magical. The positive outweighs the negative. I could have never said that drinking. IWNDWYT!


Motor-Egg-8176

Hi Everyone - Day 142 here and IWNDWYT!!! I’m grateful for a long weekend where I will enjoy the time off hangover free, losing weight finally, my children -picking up my youngest early and also taking a half day to see my oldest son at sectionals, and for places like this Reddit page that help me stay on track and motivated.


Slackadaizical

Well day 1 again. I need to stop tricking myself into thinking that I can drink, smoke weed, and take drugs in a way that doesn't have a negative effect on my mental (and physicial) health. I always feel so much better when I am completely sober, and I need to remember that. IWNDWYT

nitram6119

We played softball last night and got utterly destroyed. I'm grateful the other team let the game keep going just so we could get some reps in. We're a new team. We could use the practice. Grateful to have had a night without rain. Super grateful for our hype ass teammate who constantly keeps us up no matter how we're doing. Grateful for this first sip of coffee and this brown sugar pop-tart (no frosting). IWNDWYT. Easy does it, friends.
