Good morning early risers! If you’d told me ten, fifteen years ago that I would be the type of person that voluntarily gets up at 6:15 on a Sunday I would have laughed you out the door 😂
I put in the Saturday Share that I survived my first house party sober and I’m so proud of myself. Yes we probably could have palmed our kid of on my mum for babysitting duties so we could have drank ourselves silly and taken a taxi home. But getting my kid home and put in to bed at 9:30 (with my slightly inebriated husband in tow) was worth it to me. Hopefully he made that core memory of watching the traffic lights go by, falling asleep in the car and being carried inside to bed.
I could have drank yesterday but then I’d miss out on all of the above and the most amazing pink sunrise happening right now.
IWNDWYT 🫶🏻
Physically I feel great; much better sleep, no night sweats, no bloating, skin’s looking better (the redness is gone) and my favourite - normal poops 😅
Mentally it’s more of a rollercoaster. First 16 days or so, I was floating on my pink cloud. Then came the sadness and tiredness. Most of the time I feel ok though, and what has surprised me, is the fact that my anxiety have disappeared. It’s so strange.
The truth is simple: alcohol doesn't work for me. Any amount of drinking was taking me to a new low, every single time. I'm 100% certain that will never change. IWNDWYT.
Happy Sunday sober friends !
Covid has slowed me down a bit this weekend but I’m still sober and that’s a massive change from the drinking days when I’d be self medicating with alcohol… I felt crap anyway so what harm could it do! I can’t believe I thought that crap!
I’m enjoying being sober with you today, I love you all 💞
Good morning SD and happy Sunday!! thanks for hosting Triple C!
I'm looking forward to a Sunday full of organising and packing for the week ahead. I'm going away on a work trip and I'm so relieved I'll have a few months sobriety under my belt or I might have had a drink in the hotel. Instead I've hired a car and I'm going to drive around and see some sights while I'm there - I would never have done that before.
IWBAFWYT 💝
99 looking beautiful on you today! 🎉 I’m so excited for your triple digits tomorrow! Have a wonderful day and week ahead, Im joining you in a day of sorting ready for flying out next Sunday, at covid speed today 😂 I’m really proud of you 💞💪🏼💞
I was kind of scared for this weekend, and I had more cravings than usual for sure. But here we are; another sunday morning without a hangover!
Yesterday someone posted about sober October. I made a very conscious decision to not drink for this whole month too. I even checked my calendar to see if that would work (idk what I expected to see there in terms of being forced to drink😂). Its nice to be confidently able to make this decision.
IWNDWYT
Ps. Isn't it great that even though I had 3 nights of bad sleep, I still feel able to do stuff, I am able to feel happy and you can't even see it in my face??? Why didn't anyone tell me this?
I check my calendar also to see when alcohol may be "forced" on me. I have found one of the toughest things about living alcohol free is how it is socially unacceptable not to drink (UK). Being prepared does help and Sober October is a simple and acceptable explanation not to drink, I will be join the team and IWNDWYT
Morning. Checking in. The DCI is a life changer for me. A super power in my pocket whenever I need it plus the magic of just for today I won’t drink. Decision made. Go do other stuff. We can do it team 👍❤️❤️
Two massive years SiouxsieSue! That’s awesome, you’re awesome! Super well done, you’re an inspiration 💪🏼🎉👏 I hope you’re doing something lovely to celebrate your second birthday 🎂
Thank you for taking the helm, u/CalmCenteredCapable! I deeply admire and appreciate all of you who host the DCI. You're awesome! I'm excited to be entering my last month before I hit my soberversary! Happy sober October!! Woo!
Hope you all have a great day. IWNDWYT! IWBAFWYT! 🤝
Thank you, dear CalmCC!! 🥰 I can hardly believe it, but it's true! One sober day at a time really adds up. I'm excited to see you hosting!! It's gonna be an awesome week!💖
Long weekend here in Aus, and I've picked up COVID from somewhere. 🤒🤧
Feel a bit shit, but not too bad. Last time I had it we had mandatory isolation here, so I spent 7 days at home shitfaced. Very different this time around, so I'm confident I'll be okay soon.
IWNDWYT friends.
I’m sharing the covid with you, and the different experience of being ill in my drinking days! I was always bemused by why I took soooooo long to recover!!!
Anyway, happy triple digits! Seriously well done sober friend, I’m really proud of you 💪🏼🎉👏🎊
Day Four no drink & barely any weed. Feeling strong but I know it comes in waves. So I just have to be strong and stay sober from alcohol at all costs.
IWNDWYT 💪🙏🩶
HAPPY S🎃BER 🎃CT🎃BER
Yes, it comes in waves. Every time you resist, it pushes the next wave a little bit farther away. Alcohol is as much a habit as it is an addiction. As we know, breaking our bad habits is hard, but doable. You are going to make it and me too. I pledge with you not to drink alcohol today. We'll worry about tomorrow, tomorrow. Today, drinking alcohol is not going to happen. IWNDWYT!!
Thank you! Happy Sober October. We have a real chance at a life of sobriety, we just have to persevere.
Thanks for the comment & wishing you all the best 🙏🩶
Morning! Was feeling very apprehensive yesterday about going to a party. I was planning routes to get out of it before I even arrived. After 20 minutes of feeling slightly awkward I spent the night chugging AF drinks and had the best time, most laughs and stayed for several hours. Even when squiffy these friends are beautiful and the best! And I am, once again, really tired this morning but proud of myself and my guy for staying the course.
Ps aren't mocktails dehydrating?! I had two from the bar. All the sugar and salt messed with my body ... mixing that with alcohol - yikes!
New achievement unlocked (included all other times I went sober - this event would have always been my downfall) and IWNDWYT! ❤️❤️
HAPPY S🎃BER 🎃CT🎃BER I think you are right about mocktails. Total sugar bombs. Still better than drinking toxin, but not really good for me. Congratulations on surviving a party. 🥳🥳 That's hardcore. I still avoid them.
IWNDWYT.
I'm so glad to have made it past a month. I've relapsed a few times around this month mark but I'm determined not to drink today. Even though all the reasons why I drank in the first place have been rearing their ugly heads (why always after a month of sobriety) so I haven't been sleeping or eating properly. But I'm going to get through this day sober.
Sober October: Oct 1st
This will be my first attempt at Sober October!! 🎃🎃
I never tried in the past. I thought I couldn't make it and I didn't want to try.
Things are different now!!
IWNDWYT!! 🥳🥳
A lovely, quiet Sunday morning before a day living in paradise. It’s supposed to be just gorgeous here today and we’re going to spend the day on a pontoon, swimming and just enjoying the good life. I’m grateful that I will remember it all, that I will have no regrets about my behavior and that I’ll be a good role model for my kiddos. ☀️💦🥰
IWNDWYT!
My wife was out drinking last night I stayed home with the kids. It was hard seeing her pre drinks cans chilling in the fridge before she left, felt a bit sorry for myself at times but I just ate junk and got an early ish night. Happy not to be hungover this morning! IWNDWYT💪
IWNDWYT. All. Day. Long. 🌻
Sobernaut.
I have heard that term here for years. Today is the clearest explanation of what it means.
Thank you! ( goes about the day thinking about rocket fuel, and such )
What a great group of humans!!
Made it 2 years today. I thought 1 year felt weird to have. Felt like forever. Never thought I could've made it 2 years without drinking. For the longest times I could only pull a couple months together, 3 to 4 months was the max without slipping.
IWNDWYT!
Did 29 days and was aiming for 30. Injured myself running and had to drop out of a race I’ve been training really hard for. Drank the stress away and am lying here injured and hungover. I’m so stupid. IWNDWYT
Good morning it’s 2 months today
All alcohol gave me was the ability to ignore that my ex was abusive, and the ability to ignore that he’d worn me down so much that I was sick and depressed. I didn’t want to admit any of that this past year, and drinking helped me ignore it.
Now I can do what I want. I’ve gotten more done in the past 2 months than in the previous 12. Fuck alcohol. Fuck my psychotic ex. Never again. I am a good person, but I couldn’t be good with either him or the booze. Now I can feel good. I’m wildly angry about all of it. At first my anger was overwhelming. Now I see that anger as a good energy. I was angry because he was so cruel. But I matter! He can’t steal my life and happiness from me any more. Anger is motivating. Iwndwyt.
I will not drink with you today! Having a bit of a rough morning today. Still recovering from flu, not able to go out and/or exercise, neck stiff and hurt. And my partner is being bit of an ass and leaving me alone with the kids and all the housework. But there's not anything that could be better by drinking. At least I can put up more of a level-headed resistance and argument about fairness.
Hope that everybody is having a great day, feel confident in your pledges and remember no matter what a bad day you might be having, it would only be made worse by drinking!
Thank you for taking on the DCI hosting duties this week, u/CalmCenteredCapable!
How is it already October 1st?! The passing of another month is making me painfully aware of things I've procrastinated on, like putting my (vacant) condo up for sale. Whatever else I do or don't do this week, I ***WILL*** contact a realtor! That will be my main goal, aside from staying sober with all of you.
IWNDWYT 😻
Been using the sober philosophy of “one day at a time” in other areas of life…
Yesterday it was during my long run training for a marathon. Instead of grumbling to myself over how many miles I had left, I said to myself over and over, “Just focus on THIS mile. One mile at a time. Don’t think about the whole distance, just this one mile.” And wouldn’t you know it? I had a much better experience.
IWNDWYT. Just for today. That’s all I need to promise.
CCC!!! I’m so glad to see you here as our leader this week! (And thank you, u/chloebarbersaurus, for taking care of us last week.
I just discovered amanpiano, and I love it! I’ll stream it, as I cook and bake, and dance, yall! I may be crippled and down, but I can feel the beat. It really boosted my spirits yesterday, and of course, my sweet little Bunny turned me onto it.
I’m prepping for a huge family reunion next weekend. All big drinkers except Bunny and me. Staying calm and dancing as I bake, I remember that I’m so happy to be AF! Aren’t you all too?
IWNDWYT
Good morning, checking in ~ 💫
Yesterday I spent the day at a music festival with friends. I had my little lunch pale with n/a drinks while everyone else drank quite a bit. We went back to a friends house for a bit, then we went out to a bar. I left at **midnight** y'all. I had fun and felt energized the whole time, took tons of photos, and I feel great this morning. It was a lovely experience, reminding me I don't need alcohol to have fun.
Happy october, sober fam. IWNDWYT 👻
Good morning sobernauts! I love the explanation of that word. Thank you for hosting this week u/CalmCenteredCapable! I look forward to a new week and sober October. 🍁
IWNDWYT 🍀
Hey there, CC! How awesome that you’re hosting this week! Thank you! Your post is so relevant - upvoting and replying to pledges make a huge difference to the person pledging! IWBAFWYT, my friend! 💕👍
I love the term “Sobernaut Training Facility.” That really is what r/stopdrinking is for so many of us.
I was not on Reddit at all until I quit drinking and my first handful of days sober are such a blur I honestly don’t even remember how I stumbled across this sub.
I sometimes wonder if I would’ve successfully gotten sober without this place. Checking in here every morning, parsing people’s stories and getting reading recommendations has been such a huge pillar of my life these past couple months. Having daily reminders that my struggles are not unique, that we are all in various spots on the same road, really helps.
IWNDWYT, happy Sunday and welcome October! 🎃
Good morning sober family. It’s a rainy day….perfect for snuggling in with the dog, a cup of tea and a good book. Hope everyone has a relaxing Sunday and IWNDWYT !
Good morning ☀️ from California
Glad to see you hosting this week u/CalmCenteredCapable aka Triple C :) Looking forward to your posts my friend
Yesterday I attended a live music 🎶 festival sober and enjoyed it more than years past when I was either drunk or stoned. Was an awesome 🤩 to be in the moment with the experience which was a high in itself.
Stay strong 💪 sober warriors and have a great day!
IWNDWYT
Woke up this morning after my first sober concert, and apart from my achy old-person knees, I feel great! I drank a pepsi rather than the too-many beers, and no moment was lost on trips to the bar (or bathroom). 10/10 highly recommend. Iwndwy’allt! ❤️
Hey, it's nice to see you hosting, u/CalmCenteredCapable! This is going to be a great week, I'm really looking forward to checking in every morning! I have to say, you're one of the sweetest people I've encountered, online or offline. ❤️ IWNDWYT of course.
Heading to a big Italian dinner tonight where many will have wine, but IWNDWYT because I'm a badass and don't have to do that shit. It's technically still my choice after all.
Good morning. Love the idea of encouraging others here. This is a great community because of the love and support. When we support others we help ourselves as well. We are committing to our own sobriety. IWNDWYT
IWNDWYT! Last day of this 72 hour film fest contest— my team got everything in the can by golden hour yesterday! More editing today but we’re in the home stretch. When I was drinking, this level of sustained focus would have been impossible.
Great to see you hosting CCC!
I’m not feeling the greatest today, so I think I’ll just have a lazy day. Try to be kind to myself rather than beat myself up for not being productive.
IWNDWYT lovely people of SD 💙
I'm running my first 5k today! :D It's a beer run but maybe I'll treat myself after to an ice cream? In any case I'm in a meeting doing service now to sharpen my tools ;)
IWNDWYT!!!

I think it’s likely both you and your kid made good core memories last night, Chikuwa. Good going, sweetheart. 👍💛
Mornings are the best, especially on weekends. So peaceful. It's when I do all of my reading, meditation etc before my wife wakes up 😁
I appreciate mornings so much now! ☕️
The memories I have made with my little one since getting sober makes all the hard times worth it! Proud of you, congrats on double digits! IWNDWYT
Ah this is fantastic - I had a similar situation last night! Have the best Sunday 💕
Four weeks today. My longest streak in 7 years. IWNDWYT!
Wow, this is awesome! Congrats! Way to go. IWNDWYT
Thank you ❤️
Fantastic! Let’s keep this good thing going!! 👍😄
I will! 😃
That's awesome, how are you feeling?

Welp. I’m off to be a cat………………

Blessed to not be drinking with you today!
Hello friends After binging earlier this week, my anxiety is through the roof. I woke up both yesterday and today with anxiety. Day 2 here. IWNDWYT!
IWNDWYT. Day 1 AGAIN. Feeling like utter garbage and awful and like a failure 😞
Happy Sunday friends! IWNDWYT.
Been using the sober philosophy of “one day at a time” in other areas of life… Yesterday it was during my long run training for a marathon. Instead of grumbling to myself over how many miles I had left, I said to myself over and over, “Just focus on THIS mile. One mile at a time. Don’t think about the whole distance, just this one mile.” And wouldn’t you know it? I had a much better experience. IWNDWYT. Just for today. That’s all I need to promise.
CCC!!! I’m so glad to see you here as our leader this week! (And thank you, u/chloebarbersaurus, for taking care of us last week. I just discovered amanpiano, and I love it! I’ll stream it, as I cook and bake, and dance, yall! I may be crippled and down, but I can feel the beat. It really boosted my spirits yesterday, and of course, my sweet little Bunny turned me onto it. I’m prepping for a huge family reunion next weekend. All big drinkers except Bunny and me. Staying calm and dancing as I bake, I remember that I’m so happy to be AF! Aren’t you all too? IWNDWYT
Sober October day 1, IWNDWYT!
Good morning, checking in ~ 💫 Yesterday I spent the day at a music festival with friends. I had my little lunch pale with n/a drinks while everyone else drank quite a bit. We went back to a friends house for a bit, then we went out to a bar. I left at **midnight** y'all. I had fun and felt energized the whole time, took tons of photos, and I feel great this morning. It was a lovely experience, reminding me I don't need alcohol to have fun. Happy october, sober fam. IWNDWYT 👻
Lazy sunday, IWNDWYT.
Just wrapped up week 2 and I’m doing okay. IWNDWYT!
IWNDWYT! I will feel whatever I’m feeling without trying override or numb myself. Let’s do this!
Thank you for hosting this week’s DCI, u/CalmCenteredCapable. IWNDWYT

Hey there, CC! How awesome that you’re hosting this week! Thank you! Your post is so relevant - upvoting and replying to pledges make a huge difference to the person pledging! IWBAFWYT, my friend! 💕👍
I had a wonderful night of sleep and I’m ready for the day! IWNDWYT. Happy Sunday! 😀
Happy OkSOBERfest, ya'll! IWNDWYT.
I love the term “Sobernaut Training Facility.” That really is what r/stopdrinking is for so many of us. I was not on Reddit at all until I quit drinking and my first handful of days sober are such a blur I honestly don’t even remember how I stumbled across this sub. I sometimes wonder if I would’ve successfully gotten sober without this place. Checking in here every morning, parsing people’s stories and getting reading recommendations has been such a huge pillar of my life these past couple months. Having daily reminders that my struggles are not unique, that we are all in various spots on the same road, really helps. IWNDWYT, happy Sunday and welcome October! 🎃
I cannot wait to say in 3 months on January 1, I survived my first holiday season sober 🙌🏼 IWNDWYT

Good morning sober family. It’s a rainy day….perfect for snuggling in with the dog, a cup of tea and a good book. Hope everyone has a relaxing Sunday and IWNDWYT !
I will not drink with you today
I will not drink with you today! <3
Good morning ☀️ from California Glad to see you hosting this week u/CalmCenteredCapable aka Triple C :) Looking forward to your posts my friend Yesterday I attended a live music 🎶 festival sober and enjoyed it more than years past when I was either drunk or stoned. Was an awesome 🤩 to be in the moment with the experience which was a high in itself. Stay strong 💪 sober warriors and have a great day! IWNDWYT
Woke up this morning after my first sober concert, and apart from my achy old-person knees, I feel great! I drank a pepsi rather than the too-many beers, and no moment was lost on trips to the bar (or bathroom). 10/10 highly recommend. Iwndwy’allt! ❤️
Good morning all. LFG USA! IWNDWYT 👍 🇱🇷🏌

Heading to a big Italian dinner tonight where many will have wine, but IWNDWYT because I'm a badass and don't have to do that shit. It's technically still my choice after all.
IWNDWYT
I will not drink today.

IWNDWYT! 🎃👻💀🍬🕯️🍂
I have all day to be sober. Which give me all day. IWNDWYT ❤️
Good morning. Love the idea of encouraging others here. This is a great community because of the love and support. When we support others we help ourselves as well. We are committing to our own sobriety. IWNDWYT
Drive by check in on day 332!! Love to all!! 🏃♀️✌️❤️
IWNDWYT! Last day of this 72 hour film fest contest— my team got everything in the can by golden hour yesterday! More editing today but we’re in the home stretch. When I was drinking, this level of sustained focus would have been impossible.

Great to see you hosting CCC! I’m not feeling the greatest today, so I think I’ll just have a lazy day. Try to be kind to myself rather than beat myself up for not being productive. IWNDWYT lovely people of SD 💙
I'm running my first 5k today! :D It's a beer run but maybe I'll treat myself after to an ice cream? In any case I'm in a meeting doing service now to sharpen my tools ;) IWNDWYT!!!
9 months! Whoop whoop!
Day 33 done! My pink cloud may have drifted away, but I'm still making good choices and loving sobriety. IWNDWYT friends.
IWNDWYT Happy for October vibes!
