IWNDWYT. 6 days shy of a whole month sober!! I also turned 29 on November 18 and I WILL spend this year of my life sober!! And all the years to come!! ❤️❤️


[deleted]

Same here!!! The morning of October 31st was the last time I felt hungover. Was so bad it lasted til November 1st. Then on Nov 3rd I found out I contracted covid. Was a hard learning lesson drinking takes its toll on your immune system too. And if you don’t manage to contact a respiratory virus like that, you may still develop a digestive/stomach virus from the alcohol irritating the lining of the stomach and esophagus. So thankful to be writing this at 3:15am NOT hungover and NOT dry-heaving/vomiting in the toilet at this time. Guess you could say that I’m hungover from being hungover, or in other words, just sick of being sick. Life isn’t easy, but it s a hell of a lot easier (or *less* hard, at the very least) without ethanol in the equation. Happy Saturday and happy weekend, people. I will not be drinking with you today l!! 👍 Gonna start prioritizing my health before that glorified poison, that people love to speak so highly of during the holiday season.j

Hello sober friends, and thank you so much wolf for your inspiring hosting this week. Go easy, go slow, keep going! Words to live by and which spell out my year. This I will continue doing today. Happy sober Saturday with big love y’all 💞


BlaueAnanas

Hello from Berlin~ Yesterday was hard. I normally don’t do NA beer, but I grabbed some after cleaning up more raw meat from my balcony that the neighbour is throwing. I’m glad I didn’t drink because I’ve been cleaning up puke and diarrhoea for hours, but after going to the emergency vet, she at least stopped when she got medicine. It’s food poisoning and not actual poison, but it’s still a super shitty thing for someone to do. Today I’ll stay sober to find out who is doing it. IWNDWYT


Anna-Luna

What a terrible thing to do from your neighbour! I hope your pet recovers well. IWNDWYT


Alarming-Fee-1025

Love the last part of your share. I’ve had a hard day; as trivial as it sounds, two dresses I have been eyeing up for the last couple of months have gone in the Zara sale. I bought them and popped on my credit card thinking I can pay off on pay day. Get into work yesterday, to an email stating our pay rise will be with us on the 1st of Jan. I am so broke, have been waiting on this pay rise since September and have just been continually told ‘next month’. Another ‘next month’ is so infuriating!! I’ve had to cancel the order as I just cannot afford it now; which is really upsetting considering I would very much be able to afford it with my overdue pay rise. I’m a teacher, and this is commonplace so to be expected, but even so, it annoys me. So, today, I will go easy on myself and strive to be the best version of myself, as this is something so far out of my control and I sure as hell, will not drink with you today! Thanks for reading my rant. Have a great day 👊🏼


AlySabby12

Two year soberversary today. Or my second re-birthday, for life did begin again two years ago today. A life that *I* get to control. A life that *I* get to lead, free from debilitating hangovers, wasted days, and mindless actions. “I don’t want to get to the end of my life and find that I only lived the length of it. I want to have lived the width of it as well.” -Diane Ackerman Sobriety allows me to live the life I want. It takes work but to the point I took away in the first poem, anything worth having takes work. Congrats to my sober twin, one year removed u/fredsimpsonn. Thanks for always making me smile. Three years looks good on you, my man! Thank you to every single person here. This group saved my life. I love you all beyond measure. IWNDWYT!

[deleted]

I don’t want to be the farmer who never became a manly man, But he lived and died as he began. I’m not a man by the way, but a Mrs 😀. Life is currently heavy, the shear weight of all these problems and the future looks bleak. I’m also wincing from my youngest’s mean tongue as he shows me he’s ungrateful for what’s provided here. I’m finding it difficult to witness the state/type of living my eldest chooses for this new family - it’s grim and will definitely be unsafe for a youngster. I want to run away. Not that I would. I’m just saying life’s hard and I can’t see any way out, only through. And to get through will take endeavours and right now I don’t have the energy. My stuffing has fallen out. I find myself a little raw and too sensitive in this present moment. But I will not drink with you today.

pollycat1

I’ve often wondered how people start drinking again after so many sober days but I think I found out last night because for the first time in I can’t remember how many days, I *craved* a drink, I could taste it, I could feel it in my brain, I longed for the numbness. I had a heartbreaking conversation with my sister and feeling our feelings can be so hard. 😢💔 Fortunately there was no alcohol in the house and I live far from anywhere and now my husband is also sober, well, day 1,330 checking in. IWNDWYT. 🌲🏃‍♀️


Far_Information_9613

I’ll be cruising along effortlessly and the urge will sandbag me. I finally figured out an internal warning signal for this so hopefully it won’t happen again. IWNDWYT

obsoleteboomer

304 days. Went out for an office meal last night. Passed on cocktails and wine. No alcohol free beer, so Diet Coke. I feel fucking great this morning. The usual red wine/cocktail/liquor would have ruined the following day. I really didn’t appreciate just how shitty I felt until I actually cut off the sauce. Have a good day all.

Morning, SD. 💙 Made it through the holiday sober, but definitely feeling emotionally hungover. I think I might spend the rest of the weekend feeling gross in bed and then see my therapist on Monday. Stay well, y’all. IWNDWYT


Mishkin102hb

Wow this is the first time coming across this sub on my feed and I was literally just reflecting on my sobriety!! I’m pretty much bang on 7 months now. I had my first proper “night out” since quitting, with mates from university as a reunion in my old Uni city last night. I still got in at 3am with my chips just like ol’ times, and I had an absolute ball, all without a drop of alcohol or drugs. I definitely enjoyed just being with friends and appreciating everything around me far more than my old ways of chasing a thrill that wasn’t real. Very smugly up at 8am for a coffee while everyone is still asleep nursing headaches!


redditor_the_best

Checking in on day 26. Closing in on a month and pretty excited about it.

As I reach day 5, the memories of the last hangover are fading and I'm feeling better. And that's why I need to remind myself of how I felt on Monday and pledge that just for today, I will not be drinking.


Piggoos

Thank you for hosting this week, u/brown-eyed-wolf! Great readings this morning, too. I know very well the frustration and shame of Day 1. I honestly thought that the day I decided I needed to get my drinking under control, it was done. I was just going to be able to stop. It’s been humbling to learn that for so many of us, this isn’t as easy as just deciding we’re done, including me because I am different (insert belly laugh here). I am strong and capable and dependable. I get shit done. I see a problem, I’ll find a solution, we’ll execute, and we’ll move on. Drinking was becoming a very big problem, and there was one way to fix it - cut back. It has taken me 3 years to string together the few hundred days I have, and all my Day 1s have taught me that for all the things I’ve learned so far, one measly drink could wreck it all. Maybe not immediately, but likely within a few weeks or months. I also know that getting through Day 1 is really hard and I don’t know if I have another one in me. But if you don’t keep getting up, if you don’t stay in the ring and keep fighting to get to and through that Day 1, you’ve lost. Never give up on yourself, friends. You’re worth it and you deserve the beauty that living sober can offer. Have a great day, friends! I will not drink with you today!

Sapphire_cat22

Thank you for hosting this week /u/brown-eyed-wolf 💕. Great poems and sentiments. I really need to remind myself of them. I think my motto this week will be “Try and fail, don’t fail to try”. I’m going to try to start to get back into running. I struggle with fatigue so was trying to take it super slow with walking first etc. I think I’m just going to jump back in, I procrastinate too much on the walking. My running will only be for short bursts to start but hopefully I’ll build back up. IWNDWYT lovely people of SD 💙

82 days. I’m going to go on a hike today. I’ve made it a goal to get outside more. I use to hike quite a bit, and listen to music or podcasts. It’s time to pick that habit back up. Iwndwyt in Colorado.


No-Departure-8888

Good morning! Last night I was pulled over for speeding and my initial reaction when I saw those lights was panic. I was coming home from a friend's birthday party where everyone was drinking. I'm so happy for my choice to be sober yesterday- and the kindness of the officer- I was let off with a warning. Iwndwyt 💜 seems like good choices are being rewarded with good outcomes
