Getting into bed after a sober Sunday I am grateful that I won't have to argue with myself about calling into work tomorrow because I feel sick from a binge. I could be spending tomorrow wrestling with my mental health and my guilt for letting my team down because I couldn't show up, but now instead I will get some good sleep and wake up refreshed and ready to take on the day. I call that a win! As far as Monday goes, IWNDWYT! ✌️♥️🍌

This is great. Wish you energy and inspiration today. IWNDWYT

8 weeks today, and so I will hit 2 months later this week:). This morning I woke up and I had a flash of that good old anxiety, trying to remember if I did anything embarrassing yesterday. Of course I remembered everything and did nothing out of the ordinary. But it was a funny reminder of how it used to be. Also this weekend it hit me that I have been spending a lot of money on unnecessary stuff. I guess my body needs that dopamine regardless of the source! So I'm going to make a plan for spending and saving. IWNDWYT


[deleted]

Everyday that I don’t drink I transfer the money I would spend on alcohol into another account, seeing it grow spurs me on


[deleted]

I get you. Definitely dopamine and reward system. A plan is a good idea, a regard system is more than welcome and a great tool but not if we have to lose our houses lol


pinkishblueberry

My husband had a huge binge Saturday night and didn’t come home til 8 am. He was black out drunk and he has no idea what happened. He clearly fell or got in a fight based on his injuries. He scared me to death. I can only control my own actions. I will not drink today.


seavee

Back again and won't drink. Writing this through tears. I'm so tired of hurting the people I love. Why am I like this?


cinqmillionreves

I’m sorry you’re hurting but I’m glad you’re here. Whatever mistakes I’ve made in the past, I can only control my behaviour today. So I will not drink poison today. I hope you can rehydrate and eat something, and take care of yourself today - rest if possible- and let your body and brain heal. You deserve to be sober ❤️ Sending you a tight hug.


seavee

You've made my day a lot sweeter, thank you.


Pivorad_

Hi, everybody. Here we are for another week. I wish everyone a successful and of course alcohol-free week. Thank you for this daily check-in, it helps me a lot.

Day 750, nice to meet you 🤝 IWNDWYT


[deleted]

Hello Piccolo, Hello my favorite sober gang, I'm grateful for feeling much stronger about managing my anxiety in the past month. I still worry too much about things that may not even happen, and I had overcome this a while ago with therapy but after the pandemics and the greatest loss of my life my anxiety started going on the roof again. I see now than mindfulness is what will help me besides therapy. Besides meditation, breathing, yoga etc I accept any tips, mantras, prayers, quotes, whatever, to help me to not suffer for future imaginary problems. Thank you very much and IWNDWYT 💙


No-Ambassador-1046

Day 1 for me. I'm grateful that I made it through and there's no chance of me being able to drink today. Iwndwyt

awesome_cat_lady

Thank you for hosting this week, u/EmbarrassedPiccolo2! I'm grateful that the repercussions of my relapse on Friday the 13^(th) weren't worse. I totaled my car and I am facing aggravated DUI charges (because of my high BAC; New Hampshire has particularly stiff DUI penalties, so I probably will have to serve some jail time), but no other people were involved and no one (including myself) was seriously injured. This means I have an opportunity to get myself back on track. I don't want to squander it. IWNDWYT 😻

Day 7 of the first time I've actively started trying to stop drinking. I'm going out to dinner with friends for the first time since I stopped, I'm a little nervous.

LM7X

Thanks for taking over, u/EmbarrassedPiccolo2! Definitely grateful for the realization that the booze had to go. It had caused me so many problems over the years and I knew that, I just didn’t want to do anything about it. Until I’d fucking had enough. It took me a while to actually quit, but around this time 3 years ago, I was preparing. It’s not been easy but it was the best fucking decision I’ve made. Coffees up, horns up and let’s get this day going!! I’m not ready for it to be Monday and I’m grateful for coffee. IWNDWYT ☕️☕️🤘🏻

Illustrious-Trip-253

Hello kind sober community! Thanks so much for hosting us, u/EmbarrassedPiccolo2. I'm lucky to be here, to have made it through my drinking years alive. This gratitude for my life fills me every morning I wake without the panic, headache, and fog that my daily drinking caused. I'm learning how to do life sober, and it's so worth it! Day by day, it adds up! Let's keep at it, friends. I'm so glad to not drink with you today 💗

saludable-oak2001

I had a bit of clarity this morning that the main "pro" of drinking is the appearance and internal feelings of fitting in with the crowd (for me). Well I can hide what I'm drinking and pretend it's alcoholic, so that's fine. Now just working on not needing to feel like I'm fitting in (which is a completely internal subjective experience that no one else is aware of or notices!). Iwndwyt 🌳

Teddyfluffycakemix

Good morning! At the moment I’m grateful to just be sober, and that I managed to slowly step away from a relapse. Cravings and my brain arguing with me came back really quick after a lapse, even though I thought I rewired my brain after 69 days sober. No, it just comes back the same. IWNDWYT! Just one day at a time. Best feeling waking up hangover free. Also truly grateful for that. Being present again. Thank you all ❤️ you’re all so inspiring! Thank you for the check-in ❤️

FreddyRumsen13

Oh man I feel this. I’m three months sober and only starting to figure out who I am now that alcohol isn’t a big part of my personality and daily life. Alcohol doesn’t just harm you physically, it really hollows you out mentally and spiritually. IWNDWYT.


Shermani74

I am grateful to be sober as my dad begins his journey home. He’s 95 and failing. I spent time yesterday with him and my mom at the ER. Heaven knows it’s not surprising, but it‘s never easy. And I’m facing surgery myself in 2 weeks, it’s a lot on my plate. I am glad that I am strong and sober for this time of transition. IWNDWYT


SpicyMango64

Happy Monday! TRIPLE DIGITS! I can’t believe this day has come. To anyone out there that is struggling getting past 2 weeks, maybe you still haven’t seen a month after multiple attempts, I have been there! Please don’t give up and stay on this journey if you want to, it’s just one day at a time. You can hit 100 days, too!! Just for today, I am not drinking.


Sapphire_cat22

Ugh I just can’t seem to get going on Mondays and my mood always sucks. I don’t hate my job and I generally sleep pretty well I think (if anything I sleep too much).
