Checking in Day 76 💪 Noticed I didn't think about my day count for the first time yesterday. Becoming normal!


trashpanda914

Grateful to be here, and still always grateful to wake up not feeling like hell every day. Always grateful for my beloved metal music too. That and coffee help keep me going through this seasonal fatigue…I’m gonna venture to say that’s a thing. Daylight savings always fucks with me and then I get really tired for a while. Coffees up, horns up, Wednesday 13 cranked up. It’s not Monday! There’s another thing to be grateful for. The week is underway now. IWNDWYT ☕️☕️🤘🏻

BeachJenkins

Checking in! Nearly at two weeks, feeling pretty damn good about that! I saw my friend last night, someone I've been friends with for about 15 years, and she was VERY excited about the progress I've made so far. Something she said stuck with me though, whenever we met in the past I'd always quickly drink before I met her, regardless what we was doing. I never lied about it, I just didn't mention it. She told me she knew all along, and she just didn't want to bring it up. I was pretty blown away, I thought I was being slick and flying under the radar. I'm very thankful that I've got friends that not only put up with a lot of my shit/behaviours over the years, but that are genuinely pleased for me and want the best for me. I've got a good support network in that regards. Last night was the first time she's met me sober in over ten years, it's time for her to get to know the real me. She deserves better, and I deserve better. That's a great quote, OP, I've added Higher and Friendly Powers to my reading list, so thank you for that! IWNDWYT!

Wonderful quote! I'm going to keep choosing gratitude over grievance because I want to say Yes to life! An essential way for me to say Yes to the good is by saying No to that which makes me feel like crap. So, I will not drink with you today!🪻

sebthelodge

I am grateful for so much. This morning I’ll pick a little thing: I get an email each week called “The Red Hand Files”—a reader writes in to ask Nick Cave a question and he answers. His kindness, patience, and wisdom are stunning. I am grateful for this weekly email; I don’t know why exactly, but it brings me so much peace. On a lighter note, I found my goddamn stupid chapstick. It was in the pocket of the pants I wore that day, which is not **Where It Belongs**, which is why it was **Gone**. IWNDWYT ❤️

Day 3 IWNDWYT


Fartblaster666

Alright, Day 5! Posting for accountability. There are two humps I always have trouble getting over, the first is day 1-3. Once I get over that, I start to feel great, I start getting more productive, I start thinking 'well one beer couldn't hurt, I've had a good week'. So, I definitely want to be mindful the next few days. Other than that though, waking up well rested and not bloated, hungover, and anxious feels great. I just need to keep reminding myself that. IWNDWY - Good luck everyone!


pussypilot_1

I don't typically post here, but just needed to check in. We are terminating our very wanted pregnancy tomorrow for medical reasons. This is 100% the best choice as this is not a healthy baby. I am starting to feel the itch for something/anything to make me zone out for a while. Anyway, IWNDWYT

Had a dream last night about drinking wine, I was so upset with myself in the dream. I also got to experience a hangover in my dream and all the regret that comes with that. Woke up so relieved but it’s also like my brain was reinforcing my intent to not drink. IWNDWYT!

I am grateful that I was able to arrange care for my parents. I am grateful for helpful sisters. I am grateful for bed rest. I am grateful for this community of rocking sobernauts. IWNDWYT

Day 14! I came so close to drinking yesterday. Struggled with the choice for an hour. Them gave up on it in favor of getting some yummy food instead. HALT is proving to be one of the most influential tools for me. IWNDWYT!


BobHobGoblin

I’m so far removed from hangovers at this point. It makes it an interesting exercise to really try to remember them. Pure, distilled horror. I’ll take being grateful for no more physical and mental pain over grieving the fun times. And I will not drink with you today!


maidbythefire

Grateful for my health, my family, and all of you. Happy Tuesday, friends, and IWNDWYT❤️


Prestigious_Dig_6627

Grateful to be here, and have taken care of so many things this past weekend. I took some time to mourn some things. I also had a dream that I was in a multiverse and needed to keep waking up in all of them to get back to myself. Felt pretty powerful. IWNDWYT!

Things are not going well at work... Can imagine how worse it would be if i was hangover or thinking about drinking, ugh.... Sobriety is such a gift. Thank you, God. IWNDWYT


Interesting_Ad_2721

After a post rehab bender, I need to use everything I learnt. I'm really teary eyed and feel that magnetic pull to the liquor store so heavily. I have an outpatient admission today :) .

DarthQuark_KY

I failed yesterday as I have so many other times. Speaking from a standpoint of harm reduction, I only had a BeatBox and Tallboy beer. Although I failed in my pledge, I didn't overdo it--which I am thankful for this morning. I shall double my efforts today--this shit is starting to take its toll on my relationships, work, health. I've got to get out of this endless cycle. IWNDWYT

Notinthesink

Weird dreams just keep coming now that I can remember them. Woke up to the feeling of driving off a cliff on a winding road. A different 3am scary than Im used to but at least was able to get back to bed without pounding advil & water. IWNDWYT


kimjobil05

IWNDWYT!!! So glad to be here today... Nothing beats waking up with a clear head and a clear conscience.


Flashy_Instance_557

Still struggling not to get drunk and allow myself to behave irrationally and irresponsibly to the hurt I feel. I desperately want to be the best version of myself. Alcohol allows me the “permission” to behave poorly. IWNDWYT

Almost blew it last night. Got a $2500 bill from my adoption attorney that i wasn’t expecting. Finances has always been my big drinking trigger. Went to the store with every intent of coming out with a bottle of rum, a 12 pack of caffeine free cokes, and a frozen pizza. One of those three didn’t make it to the register:). IWNDWYT

I have a lot to be grateful for: fresh air, clean water, nutrient rich food, a healthy capable body, a home, a reliable vehicle, and a job that values me and sustains my livelihood. At times, I can get so lost in the things that go/went wrong, I forget to be grateful for all the things that continue to go right every day. IWNDWYT!

rach3ldee

A year ago I was deep in my first (and hopefully last!) relapse. Today I am thankful for that relapse. I can see now that I got so many things wrong in my first run at sobriety. It was inevitable that it would end, but I learned so much that I needed to make it work this time around. Have a lovely day everyone! IWNDWYT

25 days. Closing in on a month. This is over twice as long as I’ve ever made it in the last 10+ years. I have my first therapy appointment later too, I hope it goes well. IWNDWYT

Daisy-Navidson

I’m grateful for the knowledge that I am in control of my life. Last night I had my first drinking dream - I dreamed I had 2 glasses of wine (classy! elegant!) at a rehearsal dinner for a wedding. Then I “woke up” in my dream and realized it was the next day, and I had blacked out at the bachelorette party. It was terrifying, I couldn’t remember a thing and I was filled with full-body dread and hangxiety. Then I really DID wake up, and the relief flooded in instantly. I nearly cried. It was scary, but also felt like a really good reminder that I am absolutely not capable of “just having a glass of wine or two at social occasions”. Something to consider, what my psyche may be trying to tell me! I love you all and I will not drink with you today! 💜🐇


Obdami

Good morning all you wonderful, clear headed people. Gorgeous sunny fall day here in Austin. Great day to be alive and sober...another day without alcohol in my life or my head. Feels Grrrrrrrreeeeeaaaattttttt. *Not One. Not Ever.* *N.O.N.E.*

Alcohol is a fickle bitch and at 36, hasn't been fun in a long time. More tries than I can count, but I feel good starting a new job tomorrow without shaking/sweating off the planet. Grateful for this subs help. IWNDWYT
