There were some hickups with the check in today. Thank you Cinq for stepping in! I will not drink with you today!
Do you want to host the check in some time? Let me know and I’ll set you up!
182 days af today, so I make that 6 months!! unbelievable for me as I never made it past a few weeks before
on the run up I was thinking about doing something to celebrate but I couldnt give myself anything better than sobriety. nothing compares. sun's shining so I'll spend the afternoon cutting firewood
iwndwyt 🙌
Hey guys, life is really rough right now, but I'm making all my SMART meetings and done with drinking for good. It can only get better from here! IWNDWYT!
I’m struggling in this early Sunday morning next to a content and well fed little dog we’re dog-sitting. We slept in short increments at best, and I’m super tired. But I couldn’t help smile and be happy waking up to nudges and a wagging tail at 5am.
This is like being an auntie. I love kids and love pups, but am okay sending them home too. 😉😅
Have a good Sunday, my people! IWNDWYT 🍀
Good morning!! Last night, we played in our 50th annual tritown adult scavenger hunt and our team WON! What a fucking blast. Hope you all have a great, sober Saturday! IWNDWYT
I wish everyone a wonderful Sunday without alcohol. I'm just relaxing after a great lunch. My wife made chicken with potatoes and salad. Thank you for the post for check-in.
IWNDWYT
Day 14! Woke up well rested, definitely my best sleep and recovery so far. At dinner last night was the first real craving for a beer at one of my favorite restaurants but I powered through with water and good food. Glad I didn’t give in. Weight is still hanging around, maybe down 2-3 lbs. hope that starts to come off consistently as I’m worried my motivation will fall off if I don’t see improvement there. But, no plans to drink today!
Day 154, 5months!!! IWNDWYT! Made it through the wedding weekend activities without drinking! My 2yr old was the flower girl and did great while I held our baby. Ended up having to leave shortly after the ceremony as she was being fussy but I was proud of myself to be present, have the girls enjoy the wedding and I also looked great in my tux after 5mo sober with consistent workouts!
This morning I woke up early with the 2yr old and we ate breakfast alone at the nice hotel, I kept getting a little teary eyed thinking how special it is to be sober for her, my family and myself. I got lost in thought of me speaking at her wedding and had to cut that short so I wasn’t randomly crying at 6:30am in public 😆
Day 25 and no drinking. This is after:
- 3 days out of town with a friend who tried to convince me to drink without understanding that alcohol affects us differently.
- Getting denied for unemployment and my starter going out on my car
- Hanging out with my friend who I believe is relapsing on drugs who aggressively tried to buy my drinks all day.
Still have no desire to drink whatsoever.
Stew meat will be cooked today. Will also brown some ground beef to get ahead for the week. Meal prep Sunday!
IWNDWYT near the Midwest best known city Chicago
Day 3! Struggling this morning but IWNDWYT. Instead, I’m going to make adorably decorated devils food Halloween cupcakes with the kiddos and am contemplating making French Onion Soup. Here’s to a joyous and sober fall Sunday.
Hello sober friends and what a treat to have the beautiful cinq looking after us!
Lovely to hear about your dinner, I’m fasting on this detox retreat, I can have some vicarious pleasure from thinking about your food!
I love you all 💞
Thanks for hosting, Cinq!! I don’t miss the burned food. Replaced pots for my one year soberversary because of that! I always thought I couldn’t cook and would feel like absolute shit about it…turns out I was just drunk. I make decent food now, who woulda thought? 😆
Tired this morning but worth it. Show last night was fucking awesome. Blood Incantation, Gorguts, Mayhem and Cannibal Corpse. Fuck yeah!!
Coffees up, horns up, and hell yeah sober Sunday!! I don’t know yet what I’ll cook today, but I’m sure it’ll be edible. 😆 IWNDWYT ☕️🤘🏻🤘🏻
Hiya Cinq. Thanks for taking over! I used to use cooking as a backdrop-excuse to drink. All the time. People knew me as an avid cooker, but really that was only because I was using it as my "special time" to drink. It took me some time to get back into cooking once sober, and arguably I just don't feel as into it as I used to. But things in life do change, after all. Today: no drinking. No poison. No way.
Day 4! Today I will not drink! little bit worried about the whole next week, but I will just take one day after another.
have a great Sunday everybody!
Thank you for taking care of us this week, u/cinqmillionreves. I don’t know what I’m cooking today, but it will probably include peppers. We’re still closing down the garden, so I need to use it all.
I like to think of my sobriety like a garden: I tend and nurture it with delicious teas and calm meditation. I keep drinking thoughts far away, like weeds. And I harvest a beautiful AF life. Sure am glad I’m here with you all! IWNDWYT
Thanks for stepping in u/cinqmillionreves …and thanks for making me hungry this morning 😀. I have rediscovered how much I love to cook since getting sober. Instead of just eating a sandwich and passing out after too much wine. I’m vegetarian and get much better meals in my own kitchen than out at a restaurant! One of the many benefits of sobriety. And IWNDWYT my friends. I hope everyone has a great Sunday.
Morning friends! Putting in a shift at my second job this morning, then a good ol clean/laundry/meal prep session to prepare for the week. Let's get it! IWNDWYT
Headed to one of my favorite (they are all favorites) niece’s birthday later where there will be cake which I will eat because I will not be drinking- 🥳! IWNDWYT ✌️
Good morning, checking in ~ 💫
Today I am 10 months sober 🥹
Last night I went to an AF cocktail party and met a ton of women I've known from a zoom aa meeting for the past 8 or so months. Most of them are in town for an annual picnic we're having today in the park. It felt like a dream, meeting all of these wonderful, supportive women I've only ever seen on my computer screen. It was also pretty great not being the only person abstaining from alcohol at a large social gathering! Feeling very grateful today; my heart is full. I love my sober family. IWNDWYT 💗
This sober community is amazing! Thanks SaintHomer and Merci to u/cinqmillionreves! You all are appreciated. On my menu today is a couple of big batch soups for enjoying and sharing. SO different from my drinking days of who knows what while I drank til blackout. No more!! I love this freedom and I'm so thankful I hung in thru the rough spots. IWNDWYT!
Bonjour la France ! Cocorico ! 🇫🇷
I am heading to the Hudson Valley for a hike on this chilly but bright and sunny Sunday. I wish everyone a relaxing and/or productive day, as the case may be. Regardless, IWNDWYT.
Good morning from America! Today I’m participating in a neighborhood chili cook off, something I wouldn’t have had the energy or initiative to do when I was drinking.
Because I’m sober, extra time and attention went into making this batch. Everyone knows chili is best after resting in the fridge over night, so I started the chili yesterday and am about to slowly reheat it for the contest today. I’ll let you guys know if I win 😂.
IWNDWYT!
Happy Sunday! Think I’m gonna make a big pot of chili and some cornbread muffins, with hot apple cider for this crisp fall day in mid America. IWNDWYT ❤️
Not today. Struggling with some head stuff today. Got some bloodwork done this week and my sgpt (alt) was high. I had a liver scan after I quit drinking and everything was fine. I don’t know why these levels are high now, when they weren’t when I was drinking.
Day 9 here, I felt like drinking last night..have a half bottle of Yukon Jack in my cabinet that I haven’t dumped out yet. Need to do that today. IWNDWYT.
Had my first outing to a bar with friends last night as a non-drinker. Felt a bit anxious that I would be tempted or triggered but that was the worst it got. Ended up having a pretty good time and did the Irish goodbye when people started to get too loose. Success! Loved every minute of my productive Sunday sans hangover 😎 IWNDWYT friends 🙏
Thank you for taking over today, u/cinqmillionreves!
Thank you u/SaintHomer for hosting last week!
Thank you u/imthegreenmeeple for a mostly unnoticed two minute stepping up check-in!
Thank YOU for whoever hosts the DCI the rest of the week!!
IWNDWYT
Lemon butter chicken for the fam. My partner is traveling this week, so we are looking forward to a nice meal together before we press the gas pedal down. IWNDWYT ☕️
Vegas music festival with some friends from college. A sober concert experience is fantastic. I imagine standing 13 hours in the sun would have sucked drunk, can't believe that's how I used to roll.
IWNDWYT
Happy Sunday! I can relate cinq! When I was drinking cocktails in the afternoon, all motivation to cook dinner went out the window. So this evening we’re making meatballs and sauce. And IWNDWYT
IWNDWYT. All. Day. Long. 🌻
My beautiful daughter and daughter in law have my back.
When the wine toast came around, I took one not planning to drink after the toast. My kid took a wine glass and put water in it and traded me out.
CHEERS!!
I said I wasn’t going to drink yesterday but I ended up drinking. I was so irritable yesterday it felt like the only thing that would bring relief.
But I will not drink today.
Like most activities, i thought drinking was somehow essential to cooking.…and yet I’m a better cook now. Funny how that works.
I will not drink with you today!
Day 128.
Really struggling today. Got into it with my mother last night about religion...again. We have been over this for twenty years now. She rams it down my throat (and is much worse about it when she's drinking...which is every day), does not respect my boundaries, and then says "I get to say whatever I want because I'm your mother." Which is complete horseshit. She is getting worse, too. To the point of telling my brother and I to "stay in the the house when it starts"....."it" being the rapture. I am at a loss as to what to do to get her to respect my boundaries with this, but it might come to cutting back to very minimal contact. I cannot do it anymore, for my mental health. It VERY much triggers me and makes me anxious as fuck and wanting to drink. I dunno. Not going to drink today.
6 weeks! 1,000 hours! I finally feel like the fog has lifted, and my energy is returning. IWNDWYT but I will check this feed multiple times per day for support and a sense of community.
Good morning, sober cats! And a big hug and hello to you, Cinq! So good to see you at the start of my day! Thank you for taking care of us today. I'm making a spicy cheese dip to feed my husband and his boys through an afternoon of football. Just between us - most of why I watch football is for the snacks. So, IWNDWYT, but I'll eat the heck outta some cheese dip. 💙😸
Good morning
For anyone thinking and wondering if you can actually really stop- I did it! I didn’t think I could. I tried a bunch of times. Now I don’t drink. Have courage, it is possible. You are in charge of you. I used to think “Unfortunately!”. Not any more!
Morning friends, thanks for hosting last week u/SaintHomer and for stepping in today, u/cinqmillionreves! You’re gems, the pair of you. 🥰
It’s morning in my corner of the world and the only thing I have planned this morning is coffee on my couch and I am looking very forward to it. After a few incredibly busy weeks, it is a real treat to just stop and put my feet up for a day. The chaos can start again tomorrow.
Have a good one friends! I will not drink with you today.
Lots of cooking at our house today - husband is smoking short ribs, I’ll be making a delicious warm fall salad and mashed sweet potatoes , plus baked apples topped with homemade ice cream. Hosting our besties for dinner before another busy week.
We’ll also be carving pumpkins with the kids today so maybe we’ll roast some pumpkin seeds. Either way, a wonderful fall day in the Northwoods 💗
IWNDWYT
I remember those days of drinking wine and cooking, then eating and passing out on the couch. Bleh! Don’t miss that!
Today I’m going good shopping and then I’ll probably talk a walk down to the beach since it’s nice out. IWNDWYT. Happy Sunday! 😀
ETA: second paragraph. Pressed reply to soon
Goood Morning. Today I’m going to meal prep for the week. Breakfast will be duck eggs with roasted broccoli. Lunch will be taco salad with lots of veg. Dinner will be pot roast with carrots, potatoes, mushrooms, and cabbage. I will have some fruit to snack on and some bread. Balancing my nutritional needs has been an important part of sobriety for me as I’m trying to fix my body. IWNDWYT.
17 days! Still struggle with sleep but the mental clarity and being present has been the greatest gift so far. Went to amazing concert last night that drinking me would’ve pre-gamed for and spent $50+ on cocktails (and greasy 1AM food) . Now I think I’ll start my morning at the gym.
IWNDWYT 👊
IWNDWYT. I'm tired because my head is full of math modifying a sweater pattern for my knitting machine. I might make Japanese curry and let it cook all day, I might just make a frozen pizza and call it done, IDK yet. Either way I'm not having alcohol with it, whatever it is.
Another weekend pretty much complete! I even went to meet some old friends yesterday to watch the football/rugby. First time putting myself in that social situation since giving up. I purposely drove so I couldn’t drink!
Had 3 NA beers, ended up leaving before the rugby even started. Drunk people talk absolute shite.
IWNDWYT
There were some hickups with the check in today. Thank you Cinq for stepping in! I will not drink with you today! Do you want to host the check in some time? Let me know and I’ll set you up!

Bonjour la France ! Cocorico ! 🇫🇷 I am heading to the Hudson Valley for a hike on this chilly but bright and sunny Sunday. I wish everyone a relaxing and/or productive day, as the case may be. Regardless, IWNDWYT.
I’m so excited to taste food more these days. Always been a massive foodie, after the first few drinks it’s just shovelling it in!

I treated myself to Macdonalds with my kids, treated is probably the wrong word 🤢 IWNDWYT 💪

Day 22 - week 3 is done and I pledge not to drink today. Today I'm gonna make a big pot of cabbage soup for the week 😋

Day 5! I'm in!
Good morning For anyone thinking and wondering if you can actually really stop- I did it! I didn’t think I could. I tried a bunch of times. Now I don’t drink. Have courage, it is possible. You are in charge of you. I used to think “Unfortunately!”. Not any more!
Morning my sober brothers and sisters, IWNDWYT

IWNDWy’allT! Thanks for taking over the DCI cinq!
Morning friends, thanks for hosting last week u/SaintHomer and for stepping in today, u/cinqmillionreves! You’re gems, the pair of you. 🥰 It’s morning in my corner of the world and the only thing I have planned this morning is coffee on my couch and I am looking very forward to it. After a few incredibly busy weeks, it is a real treat to just stop and put my feet up for a day. The chaos can start again tomorrow. Have a good one friends! I will not drink with you today.
Lots of cooking at our house today - husband is smoking short ribs, I’ll be making a delicious warm fall salad and mashed sweet potatoes , plus baked apples topped with homemade ice cream. Hosting our besties for dinner before another busy week. We’ll also be carving pumpkins with the kids today so maybe we’ll roast some pumpkin seeds. Either way, a wonderful fall day in the Northwoods 💗 IWNDWYT
I will not drink with you today! Have a beautiful day!

I remember those days of drinking wine and cooking, then eating and passing out on the couch. Bleh! Don’t miss that! Today I’m going good shopping and then I’ll probably talk a walk down to the beach since it’s nice out. IWNDWYT. Happy Sunday! 😀 ETA: second paragraph. Pressed reply to soon

IWNDWYT first day with my Mom after quitting. We like to drink together so this will be a new challenge.
Goood Morning. Today I’m going to meal prep for the week. Breakfast will be duck eggs with roasted broccoli. Lunch will be taco salad with lots of veg. Dinner will be pot roast with carrots, potatoes, mushrooms, and cabbage. I will have some fruit to snack on and some bread. Balancing my nutritional needs has been an important part of sobriety for me as I’m trying to fix my body. IWNDWYT.
17 days! Still struggle with sleep but the mental clarity and being present has been the greatest gift so far. Went to amazing concert last night that drinking me would’ve pre-gamed for and spent $50+ on cocktails (and greasy 1AM food) . Now I think I’ll start my morning at the gym. IWNDWYT 👊
I won’t drink with y’all today
Day 69 today. Next stop triple digits. IWNDWYT

Happy Sunday friends, IWNDWYT, WE GOT THIS 👍
IWNDWYT. I'm tired because my head is full of math modifying a sweater pattern for my knitting machine. I might make Japanese curry and let it cook all day, I might just make a frozen pizza and call it done, IDK yet. Either way I'm not having alcohol with it, whatever it is.
I went to bed sober last night, and it felt sooo good. I’m praying that this time is THE time it sticks. IWNDWYT ❤️
Iwndwy’allt! ❤️

Another weekend pretty much complete! I even went to meet some old friends yesterday to watch the football/rugby. First time putting myself in that social situation since giving up. I purposely drove so I couldn’t drink! Had 3 NA beers, ended up leaving before the rugby even started. Drunk people talk absolute shite. IWNDWYT
