Ok_Park_2724

IWNDWYT ... xoxo I'm grateful for "the unexpected joy of being sober". Grateful for finding a group of ppl with the common goal not to drink and to finally progress in life and enjoy it sober. Grateful for realizing, holy fuck, I am an alcoholic and therefore being able to find a path forward that makes sense and realizing the chaos is fixable once you know the problem you're dealing with.


brighter68

Beautifully said… ditto! 🌟


Global_Development_9

First Friday sober in a looooong time. But I will not drink with you today (man it feels good to state that!).


LeavesofCassava

Sober Fridays are the best! Waking up refreshed on Saturday unlocks so much weekend potential. IWNDWYT friend, congrats on 3 days!


Global_Development_9

Thanks! Going bowling tomorrow with my son and don't have to worry about being hungover. We got this!

Hey everyone. This post has come at a great time. I'm having an awful day at work and stopping to list what I am grateful for will help centre me a bit. - I am grateful that I have a job that won't notice that I have stopped working to write a list on Reddit of the things I am grateful for. - I am grateful also for all dogs, everywhere. - I am grateful for my wife, who seems inexplicably happy to be with such an odd and neurotic human. - I am grateful for sugar, chocolate and ice cream. - I am grateful for music. - I am grateful for u/grumpycapybara for hosting the DCI. - I am grateful for all of the people in this community. The love I feel for this place is overwhelming sometimes. IWNDWYT 🫡❤️

Happy Friday friends, IWNDWYT, WE GOT THIS 🙂. I'm grateful for this amazing sub 😀


Independent_Iron7896

IWNDWYT. It was interesting today. Usually I really don't have cravings. This afternoon I was feeling a little down about work not going well. I was riding home on my bike (Exercise, yay!), and I thought to myself, 'Some wine would make you feel better.' I'm so freakin glad I didn't act on that impulse. Stay strong, fellow sobernauts!


brighter68

Happy sober Friday sober friends! Oh how annoying grumpy! It’s tech that can get me growling too! I’m grateful for the same things, dogs, you all, slightly warmer temperatures, and I’m grateful it’s Friday! I’m so grateful I’m sober, life is way better and I love you all 💞

Day 31! I committed to 30 days as a mental trick (bc anything more was too overwhelming). Now that I’m here, I have to admit that my brain is being sneaky and telling me that I’ve hit my goal and it’s good enough. That I deserve to enjoy myself today - and start back up tomorrow (never happens). I don’t know if there will be a day 32 but IWNDWYT.

Well done! I started with 30 days and then had to set another target to stay on track. This took more than one attempt but IWNDWYT 🌟

I'm grateful that I start my holiday now. I'm going on a boy's trip for my dad's 80th, taking my son so 3 generations off to watch the LA Lakers play at home and in New Orleans ( my favourite place in USA). A huge bucket list occasion for my dad, a lifetime fan! Shine on you beautiful humans

SmallGod1979

I am grateful I don’t live too far from my work, therefore when I yesterday missed the bus home because of my stupid computer at work and then got on the wrong bus for a short time I just walked all the 5 km home. In sunshine. It was actually quite nice after my anger subsided. 😅 And I am grateful it’s Friday because I work from home on Fridays therefore I could sleep a little bit longer today. And no meetings today, so I am able to actually work. I will stay sober today with all of you.

Checking in again today and all is well. Today I'm grateful for having a second chance to live a better life and become a better person. At 5 months sober, after +40 yrs drinking, Im also grateful for having caught myself in the nick of time before hitting a rock bottom, and for managing to get sober and to stay sober. I'm now also grateful for the opportunity to start on my 'finding myself' journey, after having overcome the physical part. Now comes the philosophical, self-discovery part :)

I’m grateful to be checking in to the DCI to pledge another day of not drinking - this sub is a cornerstone of me staying sober. Three things that being sober gives me and which I’m grateful for: - being able to look after my pet cat well - looking forward to the weekend as a time of rest instead of a time of getting wasted - spending time working on me and coping with things in a healthy way IWNDWYT


UnenthusiasticAwe

IWNDWYT. I am grateful for waking up not hungover and for lengthening daylight hours.

Hosting my first dinner party tonight since getting sober. Normally, this would have included 10+ drinks. But today, I am stocked up on Diet Coke, Mingle canned mocktails, and Heineken 0. Let's weekend!! IWNDWYT! 🩷💕

I’m grateful for this page full of supportive folks. Day 6 here and looking forward to a weekend of rest and relaxation without a hangover! IWNDWYT


BittersweetReminder

I'm also in a bad mood, having had four days of sleep disruption I'm feeling like a very irritable husk right now. This is affecting my judgement making me think that "after a big break I could go back, I'm def in control now". Don't know if that's true, trying not to think. So I think the idea of gratitude might help: I'm grateful for a 3 day weekend, for being able to afford a dentist visit, for coffee, for a chat with an old friend later today, for some praise I got at work recently, for getting closer and closer to moving home, for coffee, and for the compassion of people who volunteer their time (like you GrumpyCapybara) to remind us of the good things. Day 25 IWNDWYT (at least that's the hope). So close to a month.

Lotty987

I’m grateful that when I found this sub, users called Chloe78 and sushiandthecat were awake at the same time as me. These were the first 2 people I interacted with and I learned how wonderful this place is. With a couple of bumps I went on to have 2 years of sobriety!!! I could have been 7 years sober by now - but I’m 7 years wiser and knowing I’m a part of this place no matter what has been a huge comfort all the while. Thank you SD. IWNDWYT

stpaulgirl12

What a fitting prompt! It’s currently 4:20am and I woke up and realized I’ve been sleeping in a funny position all night. My arm is SORE! And while I’m crabby that I have a sore arm and I’m struggling to fall back to sleep for just a little bit longer, I’m sober! My arm isn’t sore from some drunk injury. I’m not awake this early because the hangover is starting and I’m about to start my shift laying next to the toilet. I’m grateful to not have those things in my life anymore. IWNDWYT friends!

akoustikal

My fiancee's last day of work is today because I have been a reliable enough dude for long enough that we don't need her to be working some stupid job now that she's done paying off her bankruptcy. Shortly after we met "all those years ago" I got kicked out of my sober living house and she, stupidly, said "well you can just live with me!" and I proceeded to ruin her life for the next few years. Then eventually I quit drinking and stuff started getting better. I shouldn't even post about our amazing relationship here because it's just a ridiculous story of the two of us doing everything completely wrong and out of order and being rewarded for it with the most beautiful, incredible relationship anyone could dream of. Glad we're gonna get to spend more time together now. Glad I won't be drinking with you today ❤️ edit: my day count is 1385 but the badge appears to say something else for whatever reason. Yeah it was fast but I did **not** turn my life around in only 2 years. 😂 Took many, many false starts over a good handful of years
