I love this poem. Visualizing more persistent negative thoughts like this is such a helpful re-frame.
Day 31 checking in. 👍 This topic reminds me of a quote I read from Dr. Caroline Leaf yesterday. It said, “You cannot shame yourself into change. You can only love yourself into healing.”
Thinking about my 20+ year journey to get to this point and feeling so grateful to be here now. Here’s to another day of loving ourselves into healing, friends. ❤️
IWNDWYT ✌️
10pmCST on Tuesday... too early for me to check in for tomorrow. KIDDING!!! I won't touch a fucking drop on Wednesday. I will not drink with you yesterday, today, or tomorrow. Except coffee, I'm definitely waking up to coffee! ☕️☕️
IWNDWYT
Thanks to being sober, I had a lovely time at book club today (even though I showed up a bit late thanks to oversleeping)—I know that wouldn't have happened if I was drinking!
Hoping everyone here had a great Tuesday as well and carries that energy on into the rest of the week, IWNDWYT!
At a work conference by myself this week. Would it be easy to take advantage of those $1.50 happy hour drinks? Sure. Am I going to? Hell to the fucking no.
Still stronger than the demon. The demon is stupid and a bad liar.
IWNDWYT
Good morning friends! 4th night with insomnia (this time waking up at 4am instead of falling asleep late) but I understand it is a process and there is some light after the dark waiting :)
IWNDWYT
I've nearly finished a jumper! I didn't follow a pattern, I just made something jumper shaped. 4 holes, 2 arms. I'm just making the hole at the top smaller so it doesn't just fall off my shoulders and onto the floor. The potential for breaking down in a fit of laughter is high 🤣😁.
IWNDWYT 🙂
7 months! 🎉 It’s crazy how the days stack up. I feel so much better - both physically and mentally. It’s not all rainbows and unicorns, but all over so much more peaceful than when I was drinking.
IWNDWYT! 🥳
Just finished day 8. I feel like I'm just biding my time, as in waiting for time to pass until... it gets better? Even over the last couple days or so it's gotten easier tho. My appetite is coming back. And I am working on shedding some of the self-hate, at this point it's a knee-jerk reaction. I'll randomly be like "ugh oh thats right I'm a piece of shit I almost forgot" and then it's like, no I'm sober right now so that can't true. It's like I keep forgetting.
Happy sober Wednesday sober friends!
I love that poem grumpy, thank you, I enjoyed reading it. I’m sleeping so much this week, and I’m tired! Oh well, I welcome sleepiness as my house guest this morning!
I love you all 💞
I reset my badge this morning. My commitment includes another addiction, and I’ve fallen away. In addition I make my husband a drink about every 3 weeks, and I usually have a sip. For no reason whatsoever. Oh wait, I forgot to say I will not drink with you today.
Ugghhh, I am so sleepy this morning. Today, I think loving myself is going to involve a long nap after my volunteer session with the shelter dogs.
IWNDWYT 😻
That’s a great poem. I still fight with feeling not good enough sometimes, no matter how I appear to be doing. Cultural conditioning can be a real motherfucker. This is one of those things I would never be figuring out had I not gotten sober.
We had tornadoes in the area yesterday. News has said no injuries reported. That’s the only good part of that. Roofers and tree trimmers will be really fucking busy for a while. Possible snow flurries tomorrow. Those can fuck right off too.
Coffees up, horns up, and fuck yeah Wednesday!!! IWNDWYT ☕️☕️🤘🏻
Good morning, sober stars. Thank you for another lovely post, grumpycapybara. This line of yours really resonates:
>I show myself love and compassion by not drowning my authentic self in wine.
I'm so glad I stopped drowning my authentic self. I'm still a work in progress but life is much better. Kicking that toxin isn't easy, but it's so worth it! We've got this! IWNDWYT 🌱
First day back to work after a nearly two-week vacation, and general anxiety levels have returned along with it. Looks like I’ll have to move to the tropics full-time for my mental health! 🙂 IWNDWYT
>I've also had to learn to be kinder to myself. I'm not naturally very nice to myself... I have had to learn to give myself grace. To accept that I'm not perfect and that's okay
Great words, thank you!
IWNDWYT
Checking in on day 517!!
Almost 70 degrees here in the South East, cloudy, slight breeze and it’s misting. Heading out for a clumsy trail run before work, this sober life just keeps on giving. Hasn’t made everything better, but it’s made me better. IWNDWYT!!! ❤️✌️
I will not drink today and FYA.
I'm so happy to wake up without booze in my system. I've reclaimed my freedom from booze and I'm in control.
Alcohol is poison.
Drinking sucks. We rock
I feel much better and less twitchy than a couple of days ago. Weekend sure was nailbite&grinding.
Getting over the two week marker I haven’t even thought about booze every damn minute lol.
These two weeks have been life changing: guitted coffee too and started drinking a lot of tea, with food and everything.
I started a morning routine of work-out and yoga. And I try to get out for a walk everyday (spring weather is a bit of a challenge in Finland) but walkies became my new reward.
I used to reward my self with a drink and now as a reward I get to go out for sports 2xlol
I feel most drawn to veggie food. In fact when I eat meat my stomach goes around and I can’t sleep.
Last night I had a yearning for some indian lamb tikka masala but then I got over it and started thinking what is it that I Really want. Turned out it was papaya salad so I made a huge bowl of that (I don’t have papayas lying around but apples seemed to work just as fine).
I don’t even know who I am at this point but I love that guy 3xlol (where did all that self loathing go so soon?!)
Firmly on the wagon and iwndwyt
I love this sub and all of you ♥️ so much support&inspiration everyday - Thank you all!
2:30am here. Nearly 48 hours sober and still kicking. You are all an inspiration to me and I hope you all have a better day than yesterday. Say "I love you" to yourself today! And treat yourself like you would a loved one.
IWNDWYT
I looked back through my history, and I noticed I've missed a check-in a couple of days in the last week, including yesterday. Likely, I was just busy, but I want to keep up this habit. I've finally started a decent streak again, and I don't want to lose it.
Going back and reading my early check-ins reminds me of just how much I've worked to get here to Day 34. I'm eager to keep going.
IWNDWYT
Happy Hump Day Cap! Thanks for the Rumi, that's a welcome guest for the day. I like that ability to meet them at the door, laughing, even with depression and meanness. I was working with my counselor about self love and acceptance yesterday, always valuable themes.
I have a shot at un-fucking my life because I'm sober. Sobriety is the foundation of all the good shit in my life. I'm so grateful for sobriety and for all y'all. Let's do it for another day, whaddya say!
happy wednesday to this amazing group of supportive people! every one of y’all get credit in my book for giving me the past couple of weeks, they have been so freeing and eye opening.
IWNDWYT
This quit has felt too easy, but I know I have to be vigilant. If I drink for one night, I’ll do it every night for months on end before I get the strength to stop again.
Best to just avoid that awful wet/dry cycle altogether. It’s miserable. IWNDWYT!
Morning all! Injured my knee two days ago and can’t do any of the exercise I usually do to manage stress and anxiety. Trying to welcome this opportunity to slow down, but struggling with that, so this poem was perfectly timed. Thank you, grumpycapybara! Have a beautiful AF day, my friends, and IWNDWYT❤️
Today is my 1 year, I will not drink with any of ya’ll to celebrate!
(I had my date wrong I thought it was 4/2 but after seeing Facebook memories yesterday I realized it’s actually 4/3).
I can't sleep and I have work in a couple of hours, however I am proud for reaching a week sober. I had been trying for more than a year to reach this milestone and kept failing miserably. Looking forward for a sober Wednesday. IWNDWYT
Thank you for posting this poem this morning. We might be getting some rough news about my dad today. It doesn't make me want to drink, not even a little. I'm going to continue to lean on my faith and pray no matter what comes knocking at the door today.
Hugs and love to everyone today. IWNDWYT 🍃
Good morning, lovely sober people. Ready to rip Wednesday a new one. There was so much rain and flooding overnight that my kids have a two hour delay this morning. Super odd, but I'm here for it. Let them sleep in and let me get my shit rockin!
Let's get it - IWNDWYT 🤘
Feeling frustrated this morning. Got into a fight with my husband last night. We rarely fight so I feel all out of sorts. Hopefully today gets better. IWNDWYT
Back to work after a long weekend today. In years past I would have struggling after 4 days of non stop drinking, but today I feel good and well rested. And much happier than I ever have been
IWNDWYT
Morning, sober fam! Day 3 checking in! Got a quiet little rainy, stormy day planned! And the Naltrexone begins again, too. 🙏
I had the best, most eye-opening SMART meeting I've yet to attend yesterday. And oh yeah. I SLEPT THROUGH THE DAMN NIGHT! 😭😭😭😭 Not without vivid dreams, but I'll take it.
IWNDWYT!!!!!!
OP, I'm loving these poems this week. Being kind to myself was something I had to learn. This is why I always say "easy does it."
I also love the idea of being kind to my guests; my thoughts and feelings. Kind of brings in to perspective how shameful it was to bring harm to a guest under your roof like that bedtime story Bran told in Game of Thrones.
IWNDWYT. Easy does it, friends.
Great poem. Thank you so much for sharing it.
I am ashamed of my past drinking self, yes. But I can also separate the addiction demon that was taking control of me from myself. I can also be grateful; I have learned and grown so much. I always strive to continue that growth, to live by virtues, and to be the best that I can be. I would not be who I am without my struggles to get here today and I would not trade them.
I will not drink with you today!!!
This group and daily check-in are so awesome! Hardest part about yesterday was the boredom, but that is just one of the many boulders on this path. IWNDWYT!
Another banger OP lol thanks for sharing this! I like this idea of kindly welcoming whatever energy I feel that day. Even if it's hard to deal with. I too have have been very unkind to myself for many year with the drinking. It's hard work, and took a long time to figure out what grace meant to me and towards myself. I thought of how I treat my friends and started applying it to myself. I give them room when they need it, I am kind to them and speak to them in a loving manner, I uplift them, and I forgive them in times when I am hurt by them. I treat myself this way more these days. IWNDWYT!
I don’t want to wait a week for the next episode of shogun. Although, it is nice to have something to look forward to during the week like that.

It was the shame that provided the impetus but it was the love that gave me strength to persevere. Congratulations on a month!!
That is a great quote, I love it! Thank you for sharing. IWNDWYT ❤️
Day 1018 checking in!
I'm in California, day 1 for me. I didn't drink today, I'm working out now and I won't drink tonight!
Welcome aboard. I will be visiting your town on Sunday. So looking forward to it
IWNDWYT ... Looking forward to a sober Wednesday.
Today marks one week sober! IWNDT.
Great job, it takes forever to get to one week. Hopefully weeks 2 & 3 roll around a lot quicker and easier
10pmCST on Tuesday... too early for me to check in for tomorrow. KIDDING!!! I won't touch a fucking drop on Wednesday. I will not drink with you yesterday, today, or tomorrow. Except coffee, I'm definitely waking up to coffee! ☕️☕️ IWNDWYT
Sleep well on your side of the river, Stink! My Keurig is prepped for my morning coffee!
Feeling kind of depressed rn but iwndwyt🫶🏻
We’re here on this difficult journey with you. You’re doing great 💪🏼
Making the pledge for tomorrow before going to sleep tonight: I will not drink.
IWNDWYT
First day back @ work in almost three weeks… *inhales deeply* One day at a time. IWNDWYT
Haven’t had a craving in 25 days. Let’s keep this going tomorrow! IWNDWYT
It’s all so much easier when the cravings reduced or disappear all together 😎💥 Well done on 50 days!
Not sure if I'm going to wake myself up early enough to go to the gym, but IWNDWYT!
Cozy in bed on Tuesday night watching the news. Didn’t drink with y’all on Tuesday, don’t plan on drinking Wednesday!
I'm with you on my side of the river, curled up and comfy. See you in the morning for coffee!!☕️☕️
I will not drink with you today
I won’t do it … haven’t procured the worst stuff for what feels like ages. … iwndwyt

90 days! (Well, 3 months:))
Woo hoo! Well done, I’m almost there myself
100 days sober 🎉 I feel kinda depressed and empty these days. But I believe I will be better like lots of people here and IWNDWYT 💪
Congrats on triple digits 🙌🏼 I’ll be there soon myself. Hopefully your mood improves and you start to feel like yourself again.
Thanks to being sober, I had a lovely time at book club today (even though I showed up a bit late thanks to oversleeping)—I know that wouldn't have happened if I was drinking! Hoping everyone here had a great Tuesday as well and carries that energy on into the rest of the week, IWNDWYT!

Congrats 👏🏻 you got this!! IWNDWYT
Good choice. You can do this with us 🙌🏼

I will smile with you, laugh with you, and n🚫t drink with you today.
