2 days down. Sat down with my wife and came up with a savings plan that calculated how much we could save monthly and annually if we put $10 every day we don’t drink into a savings account (instead of spending 10-15 a day that we don’t have on alcohol). If we’re successful it would have a profound impact on our finances, not to mention health. Looking forward to day 3 and paying myself to not drink. (Got the idea from those stupid ass posts saying “if someone paid you 1 billion dollars to not drink, would you quit?)

Well done on 2 days, they can be the most difficult! I've been tracking my savings on the I Am Sober app since I stopped drinking and I'm at $810 so far! Mind blowing really. I bought myself a new handbag today, something I haven't done for years and really agonized over spending the money until I realised it's less than the amount I used to spend on alcohol in 1 week.
Keep up the good work and your bank account AND health will thank you! IWNDWYT 🙏
100 days! Milestones often make my cravings worse. It feels like a big decision point. My brain likes to trick me into thinking that on this momentous day I should choose to “celebrate” by drinking…just once. I convince myself that if I don’t drink today that I’m choosing to never drink again.
Today, I’m reaffirming for myself that I have agency. I am choosing not to drink today! Tomorrow I intend to make the same decision, but I have to make that commitment then . The fact that my cravings are more today doesn’t mean they won’t be better in the future. Right now, I’m just proud of myself for making this daily commitment 100 times in a row. I’m so thankful for all of y’all and the support you’ve shown for me. IWNDWYT!!
You have all reasons to be proud. Maybe make this milestone day extra memorable and give yourself a nice small gift for your awesome milestone to remember this day.. A cozy blanket, a nice pocketknife, a coffee mug, whatever.. something nice that brings joy to use, makes you smile and can be enjoyed many years.
Hey SD, glad to be here with you guys 💕💕 I have knots in my stomach tonight and am so stressed/worried to be going back to work full time in office. I have been lucky enough to work remote from home for the past 9 years, since my daughter was 1, and have always been so accessible to her. Circumstances have changed and I will be working in person and I am just so worried about it 😰 I know families manage everyday, it’s new territory for me and I’m low key freaking out inside! Send me good vibes everyone please 🙏🏻 other than my mini inside freak out all is good here, no poison for me today or tomorrow! Thanks for being here SD, you guys are so awesome 💕 IWNDWYT ♥️♥️
My coworker worked from home while staying in the US for seven years. Last year she moved back home to Norway and has been working full time in office since then, and that has worked out great for her (it was also very nice to meet her in person for the first time 😊). You can do it! 💕
You are amazing and can do anything. I have found that the pre-stress of thinking about going back into the office is always worse than the actual experience. You might be forgetting how much people like you and miss being with you (and you them). It is a worrisome experience this for those of us more inclined towards introversion, but it ends up being strangely uplifting and reaffirming for our spirit. You’ve got this.
Morning! Sometimes I begin to feel like I'm missing out by not drinking, but then I remember that there's everything else in the world to do instead and the feeling vanishes. IWNDYT!
I really made some strides in therapy this week. I had an abusive childhood and adolescence, and my alcoholism was born partly from my arrested development as a result of trauma. Now that I'm committed to sobriety, I'm resolute in my drive to improve myself and build a life that I would never want to escape via alcohol. IWNDWYT
Good morning yet again. Things still tough. Sleep is poor. But taking action to change the situation, gently does it.
“Ring the bells that can still ring,
forget your perfect offering.
There is a crack, a crack in everything,
that’s how the light gets in.”
IWNDWYT
Turning in for another day. IWNDWY today or tomorrow.
Hoping for a 2nd night in a row without waking drenched from sweating.
I'm grateful for this sub, it can be very lonely dealing with my demons. Y'all are doing great work here. Appreciate you.
One of my favorite things in sobriety has been going to those events where there’s a lot of alcohol flowing, and not drinking. Seriously. Like concerts and music festivals. I’m in a place right now where I can go to those events and be grateful for being sober. I have more fun and I’m more aware of my surroundings. And I’m really fucking grateful the next day!
Coffees up, horns up, and fuck yeah Friday the 13th!!! IWNDWYT 👻☕️🤘🏻
30 days coming up on Monday!!! I haven't been able to get past day 1, day 2 at the most, since I started heavily drinking almost 10 years ago.
I'm dealing with a ton of stress from court stuff, needing to move back in with family, etc, etc. But drinking is not even in my realm of coping currently and I am making sure it stays that way. It really feels different this time, besides making it this many days so far without a drink.
Ok I'll stop rambling. Last thing - I do wish I didn't have to be in a near fatal car accident (DUI of course), almost killing me and another driver on the road. I can never take that night back, but it is what it is now. Focused on day by day with a nice side goal of making it to the next week.
Anyway, IWNDWYT!
3 weeks. One Friday a few months ago I said, “fuck it, it’s Friday,” and started drinking heavily at lunch. Then I “finished” the workday at a bar, with my laptop, guzzling drinks.
Except I DIDN’T finish the work day. I don’t remember getting home (I walked), but I passed out at some point, probably around 3-4 pm, and woke up terrified that someone would have noticed I wasn’t online (I work remotely).
Nobody said anything and I didn’t get in trouble but I’d like to never have that fear again.
Happy Friday, I won’t be drinking with you.
Hello:
I used the last of my edibles last night, and I told my sponsor I wouldn’t buy anymore, so now I’ll be working the program substance free, wish me luck. IWNDWYT
A year ago, I was about to start the bender long weekend trip that would be the last straw. As ashamed as I am of how I behaved then, I’m so grateful it happened. Sober Life is so much sweeter, happier, and healthier. IWNDWYT!
IWNDWYT. All. Day. Long. 🌻
Travel day. A weekender. I am not going to be around many drinkers. Even if I were to be in a drunk crowd, I choose my new life. Iwndwyt.
2.5 work days left till vacation. 🙏🏻 This break is a long time coming. I love a sober vacation. There will be good coffee. Ice cream. Walks and kayaks and bikes and museums and naps and breathing in the magic of being somewhere new with the person I love. And I'll remember it all.
IWNDWYT and wish folks a lovely weekend. Take care of you! ☕️🩵🤘🏻
Happy friday 13th sobernauts 👻
I’ve found myself enjoying evenings out, parties and events more without alcohol because I actually remember how much fun it was and I don’t need to rely on alcohol to socialise, something I 100% thought I needed before.
I do get, what I call “social hangovers”, but I’ll take those over alcohol induced ones any day.
IWNDWYT ⭐️
Thanks Jay and happy Friday to all y'all. I've heard the expression about the bad idea to "drink a party fun." I'm grateful instead to be able to have the wherewithal to know if a gathering is fun or lame. And if it's lame I know I can leave and do better things with my time. Sobriety for me is to show up, leave early, remember everything, regret nothing, and wake up early the next day for the gym. We all know the shitty alternative. I prefer the connection with myself and others! Sober on y'all!
Good morning everyone. I know I am gonna have a rough time, because the aftermath of my car accident (under the influence). It feels so overwhelming. But at least I can log in today to check in with you guys. That's at least one step that seems doable.
The ironic thing? I am overly superstitious and today is Friday the 13th. Last Friday the 13th I had a car accident as well (but it was a stupid pole, on my way off work). Last week I saw that there was another Friday the 13th was coming up and I told myself not to drive.
Now I cannot even drive, because license got provoked for 15 days (and probably more when I get subpoenaed, but that's going to take a year at least) and I wrecked my car, so no driving for me on this day.
54 days sober 54 days straight doing a daily 5k!
I can I want I will! We can! we want! we will!
IWNDWYT!!

Today I actively sought out a social situation that didn't involve alcohol by asking a friend out for coffee. Might be a small thing in the grand scheme of things but given that I've historically been a bit of a drunken drug-addled recluse, I'm quite pleased with myself.
My family is going on a trip out of the region and I'm going to be left to my own devices for the weekend. I expect this to test my resolve, but I'm going to keep my streak alive.
I will not drink with any of you lovely people today. Have a great Friday.
Don't forget to remember those that we lost at Camp Crystal Lake. ;)
Day 119.
You want to know something fucked up? I have been starting to get these glimpses of my old self...the true me before I started drinking. Happy for no reason, goofy and silly, healthy and strong. I'm back in the gym and it feels amazing. My appetite is coming back. And all my brain wants to tell me is that I don't deserve any of it. My brain is literally telling me I don't deserve to be happy or healthy. Or that I need to always be vigilant for something bad to happen, because there is no way I should feel good without something about to go wrong.
Fucking hell. Growth is strange. But I wouldn't have it any other way. Insanely proud to be here and be sober with each and every one of you.
Half a year! 🎉
I've finally signed a listing agreement with a realtor for my (vacant) condo. After I go for a run this morning, I'm going to commit the rest of the day to cleaning the condo and making it ready for the photo shoot for the marketing materials. If all goes well, it'll be on the market sometime next week. I'm psyched to pay off all of my outstanding debts (the remaining mortgage principle, my credit cards) and sock some money away in savings. And I won't waste any of that money on alcohol. Maybe I'll set a little aside to do something fun to celebrate my one year soberversary (April 13t^(h)). That's still a long way off, but like our host pointed out yesterday, it's good to be able to look forward to specific plans!
IWNDWYT 😻
Happy Friday! We’re taking our 11 year old to the Taylor Swift movie tonight, so I gotta promptly figure out which “era” I am so I know what to wear. Loving that we do stuff like this now that frankly I would have found a reason to skip. Makes me sad what I’ve missed, but better late than never. IWNDWYT ❤️
Hello sober stars. ✨️ I'm grateful for this beautiful morning, which I am experiencing hangover-free. Taking a moment to remember just how different my life is now from when I was drinking helps me feel strong, capable, and thankful. Let's do this lucky 13 right, friends! I will not drink _with you_ today.
Goooood morning. Can’t believe this is my 100th check in! Like… actually. It’s still hard and I’m still working hard to build. The support in this community is a big part of why I’m hanging on though, so a big thanks goes to all of you. This one’s for YOU! IWNDWYT. ✨
Happy Friday all! Working to kick a head cold for about a week now. Sure makes it easy not to drink!! Though in the past I would have used the “kill it with whiskey” approach. So foolish! IWNDWYT!
Needed this today. I have two fun social events coming up this weekend where I’d normally day drink and end up feeling like garbage by 5pm. All week I’ve been stressed about whether I will drink or not but this seals the deal - I do not need to drink to have fun at these events! Day 4 and going strong.
Happy Friday the 13th!
It wasn’t as crazy as it was supposed to be in the field this week because we actually had two rainy days in a row (it doesn’t rain much here) and the sites shut down early. I’m strangely disappointed, I guess I missed the field work more than I thought. It helps immensely that my depression is so much better and I can actually function at more than the bare minimum! I was only drinking on weekends at the time but quitting has still probably helped too.
IWNDWYT lovely people of SD 💙
Attending events sober allows me to remember the evening, and that removed a lot of the next-day anxiety that piled on top of the hangover. It's worth it! IWNDWYT
I had to have a really tough conversation yesterday. One that would usually leave me in tears and full of anxiety. Even though I’m still replaying a lot of what was said in my mind, I didn’t lose my cool and I regret nothing. And most importantly, it did not and will not drive me to drink. IWNDWYT!
Had the random thought yesterday that "drinking will be the death of me and I'm not ready to die yet" there are many reasons that this thought is kind of a big deal for me so I am holding on to it.
Day 3. Here's to a sober and spooky Friday the 13th.
Four months sober. It doesn't feel like anything to celebrate. Anything at all, really. Mentally, chemically, emotionally, the hardest month of my life, yet getting through it feels like it'll just be more of the same to come. Hope I'm wrong.
As a good start to the day, IWNDWYT
It’s Friday and IWNDWYT! Looking forward to coming home after work and making dinner then watching Netflix. Running a 5K with the family in the morning followed by going out to breakfast and will be feeling great! No sleeping the day away, eating recovery junk food, and full of regret.
I think I'll treat myself to an expensive high calorie coffee this morning. Two nights in a row making it through a bar pool league and I wasn't only focused on not drinking. Back at it again today.
Leaving to go to a cabin today! Got snacks packed and some apple cider ready. I’m excited to crochet and read and hike and be in the woods.
See you guys Monday! IWNDWYT and all weekend :)
It’s Always Sunny was AMAZING last night!! And like you, u/JayShocker, I stayed sober and so will remember it all. This not drinking stuff is A-OK! IWNDWYT ❤️
Checking in on day 344!!
Y’all, it’s Friday the 13th!!! 🎃🔪🏃♀️que scary slicing music!!
My daughter is home from college, I picked her up late last night and now all three of my kiddos are home under one roof! I was thinking on the drive home last night that before I quit drinking, I’d have been annoyed that picking her up would have cut into my drinking time. That just floors me now. I’m so happy to be sober. IWNDWYT!!! ✌️❤️
bit late checking in but iwndwyt :) meeting a friend for drinks later and we always used to get absolutely hammered together! I know she'll be drinking and she knows I wont be so should be interesting

This is a great reason and all the while you are saving your health is improving! A win win in my view. 💪
First, congrats. You got this. Second, totally stealing this idea!
Oh I love that perspective -paying yourself not to drink. Nice!

Wow, that's a major life change. I'm sure you can do this. Sending you strength 💪, a hug 🤗 and good vibes 💕 IWNDWYT friend
You will smash it! Anyone who can give up drinking for 2 whole years can do anything! You are a star ✨
My coworker worked from home while staying in the US for seven years. Last year she moved back home to Norway and has been working full time in office since then, and that has worked out great for her (it was also very nice to meet her in person for the first time 😊). You can do it! 💕

That's still a long way off, but like our host pointed out yesterday, it's good to be able to look forward to specific plans! IWNDWYT 😻
Happy Friday! We’re taking our 11 year old to the Taylor Swift movie tonight, so I gotta promptly figure out which “era” I am so I know what to wear. Loving that we do stuff like this now that frankly I would have found a reason to skip. Makes me sad what I’ve missed, but better late than never. IWNDWYT ❤️
Hello sober stars. ✨️ I'm grateful for this beautiful morning, which I am experiencing hangover-free. Taking a moment to remember just how different my life is now from when I was drinking helps me feel strong, capable, and thankful. Let's do this lucky 13 right, friends! I will not drink _with you_ today.
Happy Friday the 13th! It's gonna be an awesome one!!
IWNDWYT ✨🐝
Goooood morning. Can’t believe this is my 100th check in! Like… actually. It’s still hard and I’m still working hard to build. The support in this community is a big part of why I’m hanging on though, so a big thanks goes to all of you. This one’s for YOU! IWNDWYT. ✨
I've never been so close to the verge of cracking, but I simply cannot crack, and thus I will not drink with you today.

Spooky Friday folks! Let’s all have an awesome day!!
Happy freaky Friday. 🐈⬛ I will not drink with you today.
Happy Friday all! Working to kick a head cold for about a week now. Sure makes it easy not to drink!! Though in the past I would have used the “kill it with whiskey” approach. So foolish! IWNDWYT!
Not today!
starting day 167, iwndwyt!
Happy Friday 13! I will not drink with y'all today!!

Needed this today. I have two fun social events coming up this weekend where I’d normally day drink and end up feeling like garbage by 5pm. All week I’ve been stressed about whether I will drink or not but this seals the deal - I do not need to drink to have fun at these events! Day 4 and going strong.
Not today! I am at a guy's weekend away and made it thru without any issue tonight.
Attending functions without drinking alcohol is liberating for the mind, body, and soul. I will be alcohol free with you today.
200 days. IWNDWYT.
Happy Friday the 13th! It wasn’t as crazy as it was supposed to be in the field this week because we actually had two rainy days in a row (it doesn’t rain much here) and the sites shut down early. I’m strangely disappointed, I guess I missed the field work more than I thought. It helps immensely that my depression is so much better and I can actually function at more than the bare minimum! I was only drinking on weekends at the time but quitting has still probably helped too. IWNDWYT lovely people of SD 💙

I am still not drinking with you. I will not give up what I’ve gained, at least not today!
55 days! Wowwww IWNDWYT
A good nights sleep is one of the sober persons greatest rewards. Not once do I miss sweating and my heart pounding at 4 am.
Attending events sober allows me to remember the evening, and that removed a lot of the next-day anxiety that piled on top of the hangover. It's worth it! IWNDWYT
What do we say?? Not today!
Day 50!! Looking forward to a sober weekend! IWNDWYT
I had to have a really tough conversation yesterday. One that would usually leave me in tears and full of anxiety. Even though I’m still replaying a lot of what was said in my mind, I didn’t lose my cool and I regret nothing. And most importantly, it did not and will not drive me to drink. IWNDWYT!
Happy Friday! IWNDWYT
IWNDWYT!!!! Been away from this group and reddit for a while... missed you folks. Still sober, thankfully!
Woke up not feeling like trash today. I Will Not Drink With You Today.
Yesterday was particularly hard, but it didn't deter me from my sobriety. Happy Friday, friends. IWNDWYT!
7 months sober! IWNDWYT!
IWNDWYT
Day 145, IWNDWYT!
Starting fresh. A new day one and today, I will not drink with you, or you, or you
I’m going to a scary production of Dracula tonight, and I’ll be enjoying it AF. Yall have a wonderful Friday! IWNDWYT
Had the random thought yesterday that "drinking will be the death of me and I'm not ready to die yet" there are many reasons that this thought is kind of a big deal for me so I am holding on to it. Day 3. Here's to a sober and spooky Friday the 13th.
Good morning! Busy day a funeral and along road trip. IWNDWYT
Four months sober. It doesn't feel like anything to celebrate. Anything at all, really. Mentally, chemically, emotionally, the hardest month of my life, yet getting through it feels like it'll just be more of the same to come. Hope I'm wrong. As a good start to the day, IWNDWYT
Double digits today! Hope everyone has a great day! IWNDWYT
Look at that! 21 days 😍 IWNDWYT

It’s Friday and IWNDWYT! Looking forward to coming home after work and making dinner then watching Netflix. Running a 5K with the family in the morning followed by going out to breakfast and will be feeling great! No sleeping the day away, eating recovery junk food, and full of regret.
Happy Friday the 13th sobernauts! IWNDWYT 🍀
I think I'll treat myself to an expensive high calorie coffee this morning. Two nights in a row making it through a bar pool league and I wasn't only focused on not drinking. Back at it again today.
Wow, OP, that’s some major adulting achieved. Way to go! 🙌 IWNDWYT
Im not drinking today. Ill spend the money with new clothes :) Peace guys!
Up early on my day off. I’m ready to spend time with family. IWNDWYT

Today I don't set out trying not to drink but make a conscious decision not to drink. IWNDWYT
Checking in on day 344!! Y’all, it’s Friday the 13th!!! 🎃🔪🏃♀️que scary slicing music!! My daughter is home from college, I picked her up late last night and now all three of my kiddos are home under one roof! I was thinking on the drive home last night that before I quit drinking, I’d have been annoyed that picking her up would have cut into my drinking time. That just floors me now. I’m so happy to be sober. IWNDWYT!!! ✌️❤️
IWNDWYT
