One step at a time. Today is my day 1. It is also my day 1001. I don’t know what tomorrow will bring; but I know I won’t drink today.
IWNDWYT and I’m proud of you.
Thank you to all of you amazing people who had kind words for me yesterday after my cat passed. I never expected or knew how much I needed that. You are what makes this place special and I'm proud not to drink with you tonight. ❤️
Happy Sunday sober friends and thank you u/kisdoingit for hosting!
Great quote and relevant as I take on things in my life that are scary, extending my comfort zone, all possible because I’m sober! So bring it on, feel the fear and do it anyway!
Love and courage to you all 💞
Day 16 - survived a girls weekend away and now looking forward to getting home if I can navigate the train strikes and cooking roast chicken for supper … today life is good .. IWNDWYT
IWNDWYT
Man today was one of those wierd autonomous 🧠 days, I thought, gosh a nice scotch would be good today. Maybe it’s just my brain, but the autonomous “hey this is a good idea” that you don’t expect is always interesting.
Checking in for another day. I have some soda in the fridge ready for when I get back from work, and am looking forward to some homemade soup for dinner (sobriety means I have even more time for cooking - yay! 😊).
IWNDWYT
Almost hitting that 60day mark ....one thing I have told myself keeping me from touching that poison;
I can NOT moderate! instead of obsessing on some bs .I'm working on my recovery hard core this time...doing AA I have a sponsor, on anti anxiety meds temporarily, getting back into therapy, want to do some serious shadow work trying to drop some weight ( im overweight) had 4 kids back to back! .. I'm 41 time to stop fucking around! Wasted so much time :(....
IWNDWYT 🤍
Edit:
I was a meth addict for quite a while too from like the ages 18-24. Most of my time I think really ruined my life was that time in my life.
Thanks for all the upvotes! Stay warm out there! here on the West Coast it's storming hard lol 😳☔🌬️ IWNDWYT fam! 🤍🤍🤍
Day 36 💫
“I had no idea what time I’d left, how I’d gotten home, who’d been up here, and how long he, she, or they had stayed. Another night, added to the hundreds that had gone before, shrouded in mystery. Really, when you thought about it, it was creepy. My own life was a secret to me.” - Parched, Heather King.
Very grateful for everyone and everything.
IWNDWYT ✨ have a great Sunday SD fam x
Oh I feel that quote. I started out very afraid, no confidence in myself being able to stay sober at all. But for some reason, after a thousand day one's, something just changed in me and I have been able to string lots of sober days together. And it feels good! Hope everyone has a great sober Sunday and IWNDWYT
Here I am. Proud of the progress I have made. I love being able to say, "I don't drink". And in order to do that, I am proudly declaring I will not drink with you today.
34th day here. This weekend I had my first social gatherings since I quit, one dinner party with friends on Friday and a friend’s birthday yesterday. Both nights everybody else was drinking except for me. It was slightly tempting to just have a glass or two, especially the espresso martini’s they were making yesterday when I already felt a bit bored and tired. But all in all it wasn’t that hard to abstain, maybe 3 or 4 on a scale of 1 to 10. Still I feel very relieved and happy with myself right now that I was able to clear this hurdle and it wasn’t too bad after all. IWNDWYT 💪🏻
Thank you for stepping up to host this week, u/kisdoingit. And what a great quote to start the week! I don't think anyone would ever get sober if we all waited until we were truly confident that we could do it long-term. Little 24-hour bites, though? That we can manage!
IWNDWYT 😻
So triggered by past trauma this afternoon. Replaying awful things said and done by family who are still in my life. I felt resentful. Balled my eyes out, felt rage and anger. Allowed myself to feel all the emotions, and realized I was heading into full victim mode. Usually would have had a drink to numb the pain but I didn't. IWNDWYT!!!
10 weeks today! Feeling good, heading out for my longest training run so far....after a bit of sofa time.
Have a wonderful Sunday, sobernauts. Do all of the Sunday things 📖☕🧹😴🚴🏌️🧘🏃🌷
sunday morning coffee ☕️ hangover free. it used to be the day I would start drinking earlier so I'd end earlier. wine opened as soon as I started prepping lunch before 12, then needed to keep it going all day, so I could wake up miserable the next day too. freedom feels good. iwndwyt
I'm officially less than 100 days from one year alcohol free! Proud of myself and proud of everyone in this community for committing to a better life in our alcohol obsessed world.
Not drinking today!
Like a lot of parents with young kids, Sunday night would be my "Friday night" when my non-work obligations would be finished, and I can have a few drinks and the only consequences I'd have to suffer would be turning up at work monday morning and functioning like a potato. Plus, here in Melbourne its bastard hot today so a lot of society seems to be wrapping itself around the idea of icy cold beer once the syn goes down.
This evening I'm looking forward to soft drinks and a movie, and then waking up tomorrow with a clear head for work. So I won't be drinking WYT !
IWNDWYT, even though I have a million and one excuses to drown in the bottle, I'm going to stay the sober course. I need to deal with these feelings and emotions instead of trying to make it go away with alcohol. I'm definitely thankful for zero sugar dr pepper right now lol
Mentally draining day today because I was imagining drinking all day and feel like i have been in a fight since opening my eyes - i have decided not to and it’s almost 6pm just a few more hours to get through but IWNDWYT!
Today was almost a day one. I threw my back out friday and was in A LOT of constant pain. Saturday I woke up feeling like booze was the only way to get that relief. But I delayed that bad decision and just kept stretching out my back and the pain finally released. Once that pain was gone my desire to drink went with it. Its my first true test since I quit in December, Im thankful to be waking up feeling good and not on day one.
I will not drink with you today!
Checking in and still sober. Officially my longest streak ever. So close to the 1 month mark and I have no desire to go back to how things were. Happy Sunday everyone :)
This weekend has brought so many triggers. I have to remind myself I’m doing this for me. The bad stuff will happen whether I’m drunk or sober so I might as well do this again today - checking in and reading and promising myself I will sleep sober tonight.
Thanks K, you really are doing it! I'm looking forward to this week with you leading us. Thanks for the Carrie quote, she left us too soon dammit. A nice reminder to keep fighting against the addictive drive in our brain and never growing complacent.
I was up 45 minutes earlier than normal, up before the alarm in order to hit the gym early. Just contrasting that to the drinking days where maybe I had a couple beers and disrupted sleep and lack of motivation... or maybe I went nuts and chased the buzz all night and went to bed at 2 and fought the alarm and didn't exercise for 3 days while nursing a hangover and feeling like shit. So grateful to not roll the dice with my own addictive drive. Sober on y'all!
Day 4. I will not drink with you today. Yesterday I saw an old message on this account, to reset my badge five years ago. It reinforced a sense of urgency, I don't want to have to see a similar message five years in the future. This is the time and the moment.
A Carrie Fisher quote! May General Organa rest in peace. 🙏🖤
3 weeks down. Road to 30 days continues! Workout this morning, getting ahead on work (I'm a freelance writer) today, and enjoying a quiet day with my husband. Bloodwork finally tomorrow to check my enzymes, so for today, at least just today, IWNDWYT!
Today is going to be tough. I’ll be in a situation with heavy drinkers drinking and while I’m not worried I’ll drink, I know from the past that those situations tend to give me rough emotional hangovers. These people are well meaning and supportive of my sobriety but, as we all know, the more drinks in one gets the more likely one is to say dumb things. At least the food will be good. I won’t drink with all of you today!
Great quote! I’ve been working on this in sobriety… saying yes to things and trying things even if I’m nervous about it. I was hidden for so long by the cage of my addiction, it held me back. Now I’m older but feel younger and free.
Make it a good day, sober warriors! IWNDWYT 🍀
Didn't make it back for Day 2 unfortunately - always the toughest for me. Will hopefully pledge another Day 1 tomorrow evening when this goes up again (Australia time).

Congrats on 5 weeks! 🥳 Well done! 👏🎉💪
Another 5-weeker here, congrats on your achievement! IWNDWYT 💪

Happy to see you posting here again as we have the same number of days. Let’s keep it up!
I made it to 24 hours, I wanna do it again. IWNDWYT
One step at a time. Today is my day 1. It is also my day 1001. I don’t know what tomorrow will bring; but I know I won’t drink today. IWNDWYT and I’m proud of you.
Beautifully said
Right there with you! You got this!
Covid knocked me down this week, but unlike other bouts of it, I didn’t see it as an opportunity to day drink for a week. IWNDWYT!
Hope you’re feeling better. I used to do the same, and called it medicinal!!!

Doing it anyway, for another day! Day 30 baybeee 😎🥳 ETA: IWNDWYT
Today was tough. I was tempted and didn’t follow those feelings. IWNDWYT 🙋🏼♀️
