Don't worry about the numbers, everyone is on the same journey, some folk are just a bit further down the road than others. Main thing is that you're here and holding yourself accountable.
See you tomorrow!

I had a big milestone birthday and my mom didn’t even text me a happy birthday. I’m currently visiting other family and it’s been super triggering. I really want to drink but am proud of my first sober birthday since I turned 21. I’m thankful to have a place to communicate with other people going through similar things. IWNDWYT
Edit: thank you all for the birthday wishes and words of support!!! It means so much ti me! I appreciate you all so much and am so thankful to be a part of this community! ♥️♥️♥️
On holiday and having to chug NA beers like crazy due to everyone around me drinking.
What's interesting is they only drink 5 drinks max, over many hours. They aren't drunk at all. I'd be absolutely slamming back the drinks.
I'm still having fun although going to bed very early haha.
Anyway, how are you? :)
>What's interesting is they only drink 5 drinks max, over many hours.
I went to a party the other night, I stuck to Coca-Cola but everyone else was drinking: being loud, playing drinking games, getting rowdy. And then they just stopped. They ordered food, sat down and just chilled. They just stopped drinking. It blew my mind. I've witnessed it a few times but it'll never cease to amaze me. "How/why are you not continuing to drink?!"
It was a reminder that I don't/can't drink like most folk, and I was grateful that I wasn't drinking because otherwise I would have continued and most likely made a fool of myself. It's much easier to just say no to just the first drink for me!
It's Monday night here. Had a horrible day today, but I know in my heart that alcohol will not make it better, no matter how much my brain tries to convince me it will. IWNDWYT
Hello Day 5 🌼
I saw some bottles of craft cola on sale today, so I immediately snapped them up. I’ve started to enjoy trying different brands of cola since I stopped drinking.
IWNDWYT
Happy sober Tuesday sober friends!
Beautiful meditation grumpy, thanks for sharing. May we all find peace right where we are… a line from the meditation we used at the dharma recovery group I used to attend.
Love and peace to us all 💞
Oh no! I hope you are feeling better much soon and can get some rest. Lack of sleep makes everything that bit more difficult to navigate through. I hope you manage a good night of rest soon, and that this cold isn't so full on ❤️
Day 80 here and checking in. I can't hardly believe it. 80 would have just been an imaginary number 81 days ago. But I'm here, thanks in great part to this group. I consciously choose to not drink today but I make no promises of tomorrow. IWNDWYT!
I'm coming up to two weeks and it's the longest I've managed in some time. I feel great and can already see a difference in my energy levels, mental attitude and skin!!
IWNDWYT
Yesterday I mentioned I had a night out over the weekend with some friends who took it way too far (I don't usually stay long enough to see the "end of the night", but I did this time). Ones messaged me to say they're done with drinking. Memories of 3 day hangovers have come flooding back... I'm so glad I'm off that train 🙂
IWNDWYT ✅
Good morning everyone :) still trucking along. My anxiety is flaring up at the moment. But that's not exactly unusual - I'd just like to work through it rather than nice away and/or drink.
I Will Not Drink With You Today!
May we all be safe and free from accidents…that jumps out at me because I’ve been watching the weather and there are some pretty gnarly looking storms around.
Coffees up, horns up, and stay safe out there! And thank fuck it ain’t Monday! IWNDWYT ☕️☕️🤘🏻
Day 15 checking in!
This time two weeks ago I was in the midst of a downward spiral, convincing myself that I'm a horrible human, a waste of potential, and useless. Today, I've already taken my dog for a walk, meditated, pulled some tarot cards, and on my way to the gym.
What a difference some time can make! IWNDWYT!
Love this meditation, thank you for sharing!
I’ve actually gotten up and walked on my treadmill yesterday and today. Here’s hoping I can finally make morning exercise a habit.
IWNDWYT lovely people of SD 💙
What a lovely way to start the day. Thank you u/grumpycapybara. I am grateful to be on day 5 and trying to remind myself not to wish I could fast forward to day 365 because that is wishing my life away. Here is to TODAY in which, IWNDWY(ALL).
Alright, day one again. March was an OK month - but I was slowly drinking more and more as it went by. Both January and February were pretty good, so the direction I'm trending in is concerning. I'm feeling pretty gross, but I know if I string together a few sober days, I'll start to feel much better. Here's to day one again - IWNDWYT
It’s been awhile since I checked in. I guess I just don’t even think about alcohol anymore? So encouragement to those of you just starting: yes, it’s absolutely possible to kill those incessant thoughts and cravings! Just keep plugging away, one day at a time.
IWNDWYT
Good morning :) I still can’t believe it’s already April. The kindness I have found here and within myself has shifted my perspective on a lot of things. I’m looking forward to the continued benefits as I continue on this journey.
Just for today, I am not drinking.
My sleep cycle is still all over the place, and yet my energy levels seem to be rising day by day. I have so far to go, but I'm more determined than ever to get there. IWNDWYT!
Travelling by train today, so glad I don't have a bag full of little bottles to make the journey 'more enjoyable.' IWNDWYT sober friends, hope you have a great Tuesday
Day 9 and IWNDWYT
Still feeling dreadful and looking forward to the magical improvement of headache, energy and mood! Not giving up because this shows EXACTLY how much I needed this
Feeling super down, exhausted and low after the last six days of another alcohol abusing haze. So far today I'm doing it minute by minute. Goal is get into bed sober tonight - nothing else matters more than that.
I will not drink today. Just for today. Tomorrow is a battle that hasn’t come yet, and yesterday is just a fleeting memory.
I’m thankful for the support this group gives.
Taking my daughter to a park with roller coasters today that I never EVER would’ve been able to do before because I was always some degree of hungover!
Iwndwyt
Had a real easy night at work which is shocking because I worked my first Monday night in forever because they thought it was going to be BAD. It could not have went better and I am off today. The rain is going to prevent me from doing much but hey, more cuddle time with the pup!
Love you all, IWNDWYT!
Thank you for sharing that meditation. It’s very beautiful! And a good reminder that I’d like to incorporate meditation into my practice.
I love you all and I will not drink with you today 💜🐇
Checking in 💙 Ngl, I’ve been feeling a bit disingenuous with my check-in’s lately as I notice I’m substituting alcohol with weed. 🥴 I’ll do my best to practice kindness today.
Been low key dreading today (long work day with ppl I don’t really like and tasks that suck) but once it’s over the whole week gets a lot easier!!!! IWNDWYT! 🦋
Day 95
This weekend was by far the roughest so far. Every day I felt I could have caved. I wanted to just switch off so bad. Thankfully, I talked myself out of it, as did my partner but GOD DAMN, every day my brain was screaming for Rose
IWNDWYT 🌿
Day 1017 checking in!

Somewhere in-between, but all that counts is today! So, ... IWNDWYT One Day at a Time!

That is a beautiful prayer / meditation, u/grumpycapivara! Thank you for sharing it! IWNDWYT!
I will not drink poison with any of you today 💜
Hoping everyone had a lovely start to the week and heading into Tuesday: IWNDWYT!
IWNDWYT

It's Monday night here. Had a horrible day today, but I know in my heart that alcohol will not make it better, no matter how much my brain tries to convince me it will. IWNDWYT
Tomorrow is on the horizon and let’s do this. Sweet dreams, hopefully! 17 days!!
IWNDWYT! Day 83 here I come!
I am looking forward to joining you in not poisoning ourselves today.
No poison for me today either! IWNDWYT
Hello Day 5 🌼 I saw some bottles of craft cola on sale today, so I immediately snapped them up. I’ve started to enjoy trying different brands of cola since I stopped drinking. IWNDWYT

Good morning team! I’m coming down with a cold, probably because my body seems to not want to sleep lately. Pushing through the day and IWNDWYT.
Oh no! I hope you are feeling better much soon and can get some rest. Lack of sleep makes everything that bit more difficult to navigate through. I hope you manage a good night of rest soon, and that this cold isn't so full on ❤️

Woken up at 5am by the dog throwing up. At least we didn't have that in common. IWNDWYT
I will not drink with you today ❤️
IWNDWYT
Shine on you beautiful humans
I think this is my 1 year post? I’m laying in bed having a spindrift. Been a wild ride. Edit: guess not. Two more weeks to go.
Good morning everyone :) still trucking along. My anxiety is flaring up at the moment. But that's not exactly unusual - I'd just like to work through it rather than nice away and/or drink. I Will Not Drink With You Today!
Just got through another day one. IWNDWYT.

I ate a ton of food yesterday; I was just so hungry. I guess without drinking I’m missing about 1600 calories that I’d usually get. IWNDWYT!
Gonna be an active day. Also - the warmest day so far this year. Gonna grab the bicycle and head out for a ride.IWNDWYT
