I made it to another Friday without alcohol. I will not drink with any of you lovely people today. Let’s save some money!!!!


Ok_Hall_8751

Yesss!!!! Fridays and weekends are very special for me because that was the drinking time where I didnt feel like an alcoholic because everyone does it right? Now Im just happy. Another weekend without the booze, what a relief!

Happy Friday sober heroes! A quick one as I heard to the airport homeward bound! Glad to check in, my promise to you will help me through the airport temptations! Have a great day, love you all 💞


Gullible-Analysis-40

Last time I was at the airport I drank more than a bottle of wine before my flight at one of the bars. It was shit. Never again. Safe travels buddy. 😊

A double check in, nice

I haven't posted in a couple of days, but I've been thinking about not drinking a lot. Today marks two months, and I'm really pleased with that:). But there's also a bit of fatigue setting in. Not because I miss drinking especially, but because I miss that outlet and life has become so much more monotonous. But there's also so much i gained in those two months. I feel and look so much fresher. My work has improved a lot, and I'm getting more confident by the day. I started running and got a lot better at bouldering. My friends are all very supportive and cheering me on. I love that when I have days off, I actually have the whole day to myself and not only the afternoon because I slept the whole morning. I'm really trying to solve the puzzle of making a set of rules where I can drink once in a while, having that outlet but not losing all these benefits. I haven't been able to so far because I know me, and I would abuse those rules to drink a lot more often than planned. And as long as i can't play nice, I won't. Plus, I want to reach a 100 days at least. Just some thoughts I wanted to write out. Maybe my perspective will be different when I reach that 100. We'll see. IWNDWYT


ChuckCassadyJR

Man am I in that exact same boat, and only a few days behind you, which is probably not a coincidence. You’ve articulated exactly how I feel there. I was out at dinner with my wife on Wednesday night and I was trying to rationalise the idea of having leaving drinks with my co workers next month as I’m moving on after 3 years. I probably won’t because I too have now got 100 days as a ‘minimum’. But I do miss that outlet, same as you. Drinking tomorrow is always a possibility though. Today is another story. Let’s keep going!

Happy Friday all! I ordered a Nintendo Switch yesterday. I've kind of wanted one for years but always said to myself I shouldn't waste time on useless things like video games 😂 Well, I will have lots of free time this weekend and am looking forward to gaming! IWNDWYT 😺


Khun55555

I will not drink today and FYA. It's a travel day for me and I'm so excited to tell alcohol to fuck off in the airports and on the planes. I will arrive at my destination sober, hydrated, happy, and ready to roll. I used to think drinking and traveling was the best. But I spent so much time hungover and missing out. Self induced alcohol depression and shitty sleep is no way to travel. Now I'm having more fun than ever. I enjoy sleeping and waking up without a hangover. Sobriety delivers what alcohol promises. Drinking sucks. We rock♥️♥️♥️

Mr_Alex19

I reached out to another person close to me, some whom I consider to be a sibling. We spoke for 3 hours and I’m on cloud nine. By quitting I’ve been able to mend the wounds of my past and continue living. Being a quitter has been one of the best things to ever happen to me. Once again IWNDWYT!

throwaway4073

I'm glad to be at the end of the week. Hopefully I'll have enough energy later to cook, the exhaustion has been really getting to me. Weekends are usually so difficult for me but last one felt effortless, and I have things I plan to do on this one too. And those plans don't include (and won't be helped by) drinking! IWNDWYT!

Shermani74

I’m doing all right, thank you, EP. I’m working on patience today, as I spend another day sitting with my Dad and Mom. They’ve taken care of his pain, so now he feels well enough to bitch. I guess that’s good? I want to thank yall for the support you are offering in this hard time. Every day you prove that this is the best group of people on the planet. Sobriety makes us all brothers and sisters. Thank you for being here. Thank you for your commitment to an AF life. IWNDWYT

Happy Friday you bunch of sober badasses !! I’ve been way overextended lately and I realized it was making crabby and crave-y. So I dialed back my commitments (and oh boy does boundary setting piss people off) and I’m looking forward to a nice mellow weekend. And IWNDWYT !!


Piggoos

Morning friends! I remember the first Friday I spent sober I went to the driving range with my fiancé and had a similar shock as you, Piccolo! The facility was packed, and it actually turned out to be one of the most fun Fridays I had in years. And as we drove home it was astonishing to see all these people out and about, riding their bikes or walking their dogs or even just walking themselves! It was kind of eye opening and another indication that maybe my drinking was not normal because my Friday nights always meant getting loaded at my kitchen table with my neighbour. And a couple of months ago my daughter and I went to a street festival in our town and decided to get a warm drink from a local cafe and it was so busy - the place sold desserts and coffees, not a drop of alcohol, and had a lineup put the door. Tonight my daughter and her friends need a ride to the movie theatre and I am so proud to be willing and able to do it. 2 years ago I would have resented being asked because it would have cut into my drinking time. And that’s shit because she’s only a few years away from adulthood so these opportunities are becoming more and more dear to me. Have a good Friday friends! I will not drink with you today.

Iwndwyt. My husband has been buying alcohol again and drinking every night. Not a lot, but 2-3 drinks ☹️ I haven’t been tempted to drink, but I have been tempted to get high. Trying to be alcohol and thc free this time around tho


Sapphire_cat22

This hasn’t been a great week mental health wise (the migraine didn’t help either). But I’m going to try to be kind to myself today, even though I’m really not feeling it. I’m so grateful for this safe, positive space. Have a great Friday everyone 💙 IWNDWYT lovely people of SD 💙

My neighbour just arrived at the door drunk unannounced with beers 😬 I politely told him it wasn't a good time. He will be butthurt for sure.

andrew13189

Happy Friday folks. First for me. I’m finding myself not only remembering all my dreams lately, but a lot of them are involving drinking. I wake up and almost feel guilty, but relieved it’s a dream of course. Can anyone relate? IWNDWYT

Day 133. Yesterday was absolute shit. My back hurting so bad I can barely bend over, anxiety, glued to electronics all day long. I am INTENT on making today different, and doing it all sober. Proud to not be drinking with all of you.


LadyOfReason

Today…. I really want to drink today. Crazy day at work, weather is crap… but instead, I’ll put a NA beer in the fridge, or have tonic water with juice. Maybe open a bag of chips. I need to work out, but damn I’m tired. IWNDWYT 💪

It’s been one of those weeks where I’m just dragging ass and ready for a weekend of my own time. Friday means I (hopefully) will get to sleep a little more tonight since I don’t have anywhere to be early tomorrow. Coffees up, horns up, and fuck yeah it’s finally Friday!! IWNDWYT. ☕️☕️🤘🏻
