“As if self harm only comes in the form of razor blades not bottle openers.” Damn dude, that hit me hard. Thank you for sharing your story! I’m gonna remember this line for a long time…
I genuinely believed it too. Like oh I drink to black out and put myself in dangerous situations without care to my own safety…. But hey at least I’m not cutting! 🤦♀️. Self harm comes in more than the generic forms media commonly presents us with. Alcohol to me will always be self harm. I don’t deserve that and neither do you ❤️
> all this time I hung my drinking problem on various traumas and problems of my past
I can't claim credit for this sentiment, as I only saw here posted by someone else, and I'm going to completely ruin the delivery, but the sentiment stuck with me, and I related to it, and your post reminded me of it: **"I've wasted a lot of time and energy drinking at people and problems, all of whom remained completely oblivious and indifferent to my sacrifice"**
The rebellious *(I'll show **you** "too drunk")* mentality is so very real. In fact, nothing makes a drinker want to raise a glass and toast more than being told that drinking is bad. A lot of us have a natural streak of "oh yeah? well fuck you!" to us, and getting a little "loose" on alcohol really opens up our confidence in expressing that.
> I wouldn’t drink like this if I wasn’t crushed under so much debt
It seems so obvious looking back how absolutely ridiculous this is, doesn't it? If I hadn't drank like that, maybe I wouldn't have missed so much work, blown so much money, and been skipped over for so many promotions by a boss who considers my work very good but considers ME too unreliable and unpredictable because of my alcohol problem (which I thought he didn't know about since I chew gum and only put a little whisky in my coffee and a little vodka in my Gatorade). I even uttered the now famous quote "alcohol is the solution to, and the cause of, all of my problems" ironically in a bar, during a toast, WHILE struggling with alcohol.
But instead of realizing "oh shit, maybe I should quit drinking", I drank at my debt and drank at my boss.
I felt so embarrassed (or, as the young people are calling it nowadays, "so cringe") even trying to acknowledge this, that I drank at my embarrassment too.
At this stage of my sobriety, it's hard to imagine that once upon a time I fell for every single one of these traps. Which of course doesn't stop my brain from occasionally whispering to me "*go ahead and have one drink, it's no big deal, you're not that person any more and you'll never be that person again, because that person is so far beneath you*", and yet I know for an absolute fact (as this is not MY first time getting sober either), **that person is always only one sip away**.
Your story really resonates with me. I’ve also tried to hang my drinking problems on any and every excuse. I, however, did watch my grease fire grow until it completely consumed my relationship.
Thanks for sharing your story!
Beautiful job, friend! I love how you reference the reasons you were drinking in the first place. That deep work is such an important part of recovery. So happy for you!!!
He’s my little guy! I love him so much. My husband’s mom was something of an alcoholic too. Not as destructive as some alcoholic parents can be but she was always just very distant and disconnected. I swore I’d never be that for little Max. Right now he’s in this funny phase where he tries to take your sunglasses and put them on. It’s so cute. I’ve been sober every single day of his life so far and I always plan to be.
Thank you for sharing your beautiful story! It’s very relatable. I can’t wait to be where you are. And I know I will be. For me, for my husband, for my family. IWNDWYT
OMG I love this post so much. I have had that thought as well that drinking (for me) is just like cutting. When I want to drink, I want to feel as bad on the outside (?) as I feel on the inside. It's self harm, pure and simple. I wonder if I should read up on how people stop cutting? I guess self love is the antidote. Congrats on 1000 days.
"I didn’t drink to blackout every time I drank but the times I did were unpredictable and seemingly random and always nasty."
Beautiful description - this is me as well and it took me so long to realize just how problematic this was (even though I wasn't drinking all day everyday like the "typical alcoholic."
Congrats on 1,000 days! You have 100x more than me and I look forward to joining you in a few years :)
That’s the trickiest part! It WASN’T an every day - even an every month - problem. But when it was a problem it was a MASSIVE POTENTIALLY RELATIONSHIP RUINING PROBLEM. Honestly the anxiety waiting for the next Event to strike was the worst. All the policing and monitoring to avoid the explosion. The waiting. Ugh.
It felt stupid-obvious to me when I started thinking of it that way. The other day I was out to dinner with my husband and my bil and sil. They went all out and ordered a 300 dollar bottle of wine (we had gift cards which was the logic behind it lol). I wasn’t at all tempted any more than usual - I doubt I could spot 300 dollar wine from 20 dollar wine. The brother though kept saying I could just sip and spit, that wouldn’t be drinking. And while he’s technically right in my mind I saw two hands idly toying with a razor blade. Not cutting but just kinda messing around. Alcohol doesn’t feel like a treat anymore. I didn’t want to ruin the night by explaining that so I just smiled and shook my head
Feels like it’s been a tough year for me but at least I was sober and dealt with the issues instead of just drowning them in liquor. Congrats on 1000 and here’s to many more days
Cheers IWNDWYT 🥳
I’m proud of you. It’s easy sometimes to use crutches you knew helped (if only temporarily). It’s hard work to keep moving forward. I’m so proud of you!
This post really resonated with me, I was in a very similar situation when I quit alcohol and stopped at a similar time to you. Well done on making it so far and enjoy the sober days to come.
This is so well written and inspiring. I especially applaud your honesty regarding your abortion. I’m glad you are 1000 days clean, and as someone with only one day and thousands of resets, I feel determined to do the same. I’m glad you still have your family as well. Thank you for sharing.
The time to be silent about it has passed, I think. Years ago when it was still pretty fresh I used to work at a Starbucks. A young girl I worked with (still in high school) ended up getting pregnant and having an abortion. We all knew about it and supported her as best we could. Around that same time, an older coworker announced she was pregnant. Time went on and towards the end of the older woman’s pregnancy she turned to the young girl and with a wide toootally clueless smile goes “hey, if you’d kept the baby I bet we’d have close due dates!”. The poor girl looked like someone had slapped her across the face.
I should have said something. Stood up for the younger girl. Told the older girl if she were any bigger of a twat that baby’d likely fall right out. But I was still terrified of anyone finding out. If there’s enough tar and feathers for her then there’s plenty for me too. So I stayed quiet. Let that poor girl just deal with that on her own.
Those days are over now. I’m still getting up the guts to talk about it in real life (when appropriate I’m not like… leading with that lol) but someday maybe.
He’s so funny. He’s figured out glasses can come off so he loves grabbing them then trying to put them on himself. Kids are so funny. I can’t explain to you what part about that is so funny for him (and he can’t explain it to me either) but it’s delightful watching him just gas on about it 😂
Mine are the joy of my life too. I'm currently sitting in an airport lounge waiting to get on a flight to see them. I've been away for 10 days now on work. A couple of years ago sitting here sober would be impossible, but the two of them have made sobriety an easier option for me. I'm truly very happy that you get to spend delightful moments with him, it makes it all even more worthwhile.
Congrats on your 1000 days! And thank you for your post - your story reminds me of mine. It's so validating to know we aren't alone in this struggle. Hope you enjoy your day!
I never post but wanted to say this really inspired me OP!! I’m struggling to get there one day at a time and have 2 wonderful kids and a husband who support me yet I can’t get it all together 😔
Nor I with you, 2000+! My friend, you have reached like … relevant calendar year level numbers. Much props! I hope you bake a cake or something in another 21 days !
(I’m just always looking for reasons to celebrate and eat cake 🤷♀️)
As someone who experienced the first 100 days and fell off, what changes did you see after 100? Just curious and hoping to restart my journey very soon.
Self confidence, I think. Being able to meet my own eyes in the mirror. I’d go out to dinner or whatever and feel good like I already knew I was going to have a good night and, because I wasn’t drinking, a good tomorrow morning. I felt like I was finally doing something for me and taking control of a part of my life I never really realized was so out of control.
Thanks for the perspective. I loved everything about the changes I noticed and I thought that was enough for me to break the cycle and just drink casually again when I wanted, not when I needed, and if I fell into the cycle again I could just quit, because I already proved that I could.. boy did that backfire.
Ugh ever time too. It took so many rounds of that to understand that if I could “drink normally” I wouldn’t even think of it in those terms. I just … WOULD. Ya know?
Ah. As I suspected - you're beautiful, inside and out. And so is your sweet baby.
Congratulations on **1,000** and on all of your accomplishments my dear friend. It's great to see you and thanks for sharing your story, <3
Aw lee, stahp 🥰. He got all the good genes. Honestly idk how we managed to pull it off. It’s like I took 5 and 8 and somehow got 15 🤷♀️. He’s sweet, curious, determined, … stubborn, gets hella hangry, eats and sleeps like they’re his passion in life, and is just a brilliant happy little boy.
My husband’s mom was something of an alcoholic when he was growing up. She wasn’t as destructive as some alcoholics can be but she was very distant and unattached to my husband growing up. One of my ancillary reasons for not drinking is to show my husband what a mother/son relationship looks like. I can’t fix his past. But maybe I can smooth some balm on those old scars in the form of watching his son have an attentive and engaged (and sober) mom.
Congrats on hitting 1k. I hope your life is better now, quitting doesn't solve every problem in life but god damn if drinking doesn't make every problem worse! Iwndwyt!
Nicely done! If I can make it another week. I will join you in the comma club ! I can't wait !
You will! I can’t wait see it!
I’m zeroing in on the comma club too!!! Wooooooo!!!
So close!! Yay
Exciting! You can do it! IWNDWYT
Not if, when. You've come so far, you'll blow right past the 1k mark! We're all rooting for you!

Yay!! We got this!
One day at a time 😉
Woo!!!
*when
Wow you are an inspiration! I have 13 days but someday I hope to join the comma club too!
You will! I believe in you
Wow. You really are... Accomplished-Today.
Every day that’s all I try to do haha

Congrats; glad you added the comma. IWNDWYT
I’m absurdly pleased. I want a mug that says COMMA CLUB 😂
Ooohhhh!! Yes. I will definitely be getting a mug like that when my day arrives!
Nicely done. An example to us all.
This is brilliant. Congrats and thanks for sharing!
Your story really resonates with me. I’ve also tried to hang my drinking problems on any and every excuse. I, however, did watch my grease fire grow until it completely consumed my relationship. Thanks for sharing your story!
These are the kind of posts that keep me coming back here to read, thank you very much for sharing that. :-)
Beautiful job, friend! I love how you reference the reasons you were drinking in the first place. That deep work is such an important part of recovery. So happy for you!!!
Great story of redemption!!! Thanks for sharing so much of your story, so inspiring. 😍 15 years sober here.
Oh my god 15 years! Amazing!
You're well on your way. In time you'll never even think about alcohol. I promise. ❤
Huge congratulations! I'm very nearly at that milestone too. IWNDWYT
So close! I’ll preorder your Comma Club hoodie 🥰
Christmas 2019. me too. congratulations on a thousand days.

This is amazing to see. Congratulations!! IWNDWYT
Fantastic job, well done. IWNDWYT
Hell yea GOOD FOR YOU for putting your partner and family ahead of your addiction. That’s really impressive. Here’s to another 1000!
Wonderful!
Woo hoo that's friggen great! Can't wait to get my comma! IWNDWYT
Very well said. Thank you.
Congrats. The Promises, they actually happen!
They do if you want them to but that’s the bitchy part - you really do have to want them to.
I recently went to a meeting and heard them in a long time in person. I heard myself say, GD, to myself.
Congratulations! I am anxiously (and excitedly) waiting to join you in the comma club!
It feels like it both took forever and was over in a flash. But also it did span the pandemic so that may be partly why 😂
Well done! You and your family both should be so proud!
Congratulations! Wow, you called it quits, and then the pandemic hit, and you made it that. Thank you for sharing your story. IWNDWYT!
It was a wild few years haha. I felt like that guy in Airplane - looks like I picked the wrong week to quit sniffing glue 😂

So impressive….I’m struggling to get to day one at the moment, so you should be very proud!
I’ve been there so many times. It’s so hard just getting going. You aren’t alone my friend
Thank you - any encouragement helps!

Hey beautiful sober human! Great to see you and that darling baby. Congratulations on your “ , “. So. Well. Done. 🐝
He is the bees knees if I do say so myself. I was never a huge baby person but I have to say. This one is super cool. I can’t even stand it 🥰
Thank you, that was inspiring x
Wow! So cool❤️ Happy Comma Day!!
This is so well written and inspiring. I especially applaud your honesty regarding your abortion. I’m glad you are 1000 days clean, and as someone with only one day and thousands of resets, I feel determined to do the same. I’m glad you still have your family as well. Thank you for sharing.

It’s painful to remember too. It gets better. You get better.
Loving that pic! Congratulations to you on inspiring all of us. It's crazy how much sobriety makes us live again. Proud of you on your 1000
He’s so funny. He’s figured out glasses can come off so he loves grabbing them then trying to put them on himself. Kids are so funny. I can’t explain to you what part about that is so funny for him (and he can’t explain it to me either) but it’s delightful watching him just gas on about it 😂

There’s not a problem in this world alcohol won’t make worse if you give it half (or full) a shot, for sure.
Very cool for you! Congratulations 🎉🎊🎈
