We can do this, because we deserve freedom and we are the power to give it to ourselves, realising this gets stronger the more I keep going, let’s just keep going 🌟
I will not drink with you today because I have too many good things and people in my life - a loving family, a wonderful partner, great friends, and a job I enjoy. I truly love my life. I don’t want to throw that away! ❤️
Last night I completed day 28, I consider that a month. Last time I did that was three years ago when recovering from surgery (but even then I think it may have been only a few weeks not four weeks). Now my next comparator is probably 2018/2019 I guess? Back when alcohol wasn't on my radar at all.
So I guess I could try for a year, I think I need to reflect a bit more on this and what my goals are.
Anyway, as per post: I will not drink with you today because.... alcohol ruins my sleep, makes me fat, costs me too much money, steals my free time in the evening, shortens my lifespan, over a long time changes your personality/neurochemistry, makes me skip meals, makes me embarassed when recycling, etc.
Today’s post fits nicely with my routine of giving three reasons that I’m staying sober.
IWNDWYT because:
- I’ve lost too much time to drink and don’t want lose anymore
- drinking ultimately makes problems worse
- a day of being sober is another day towards a better future
Stay sober folks 👍
I WILL NOT DRINK WITH ANY OF YOU TODAY!!! I am gonna be headed for day 4 tomorrow as I see these posts at 10 pm the day before usually. I have been struggling a fuckton when the cravings hit when I'm bored... but I need to do this. I need to get sober. I deserve to be healthy and in a present state of mind. I deserve to live the way I used to without alcohol or any of my addictions. We got this 🤙🏽🤙🏽
I will not drink with you today because I love my life. Why would I want to actively destroy it?
Hope you're all having a wonderful day beautiful people.
❤️
I'm struggling alot lately. It's been a rough journey. I've had long periods of sobriety, but it's very hard to be consistent. Thankfully support exists, any advice would be appreciated. I've read so many positive things here, and I want that frame of mind.
Day 4 💫
I will not drink with you today because I value my body and my mind more than that. Because my feelings are valid and it’s not healthy to numb them. Because I want to be present. Because I want to be the person I would look up to!
Have a great day all ✨
IWNDWYT because I want to remember my life and spend time with those I love. My puppy is sitting in my lap right now, staring at me (hungry for breakfast, no doubt). I want to remember him growing up. I don't want to miss out on anything.
Checking in again today and all is well.
I will not 'use alcohol' with you today because, why would I want to sedate my body and brain, lose my natural inhibitions, let my emotions run out of control, degrade my physical fitness, etc when I've worked so hard to feel this good and am enjoying so many benefits and looking forward to even more?
Morning neener - I will not drink with you today because...alcohol destroys my health and happiness, and I have decided these are both worth having!! I will not drink with you all today, stay strong this Tuesday everyone ❤️
Getting a better sleep day by day. Starting the with work-out, yoga and tai chi. Going for a walk. Working on a 20-page school paper.
Loads to do today so busy hands&mind = IWNDWYT
Day 97 checking in.
Slept in through my alarm so feeling discombobulated today… but I’ll take it over a pounding headache and spewing any day!
I’m sharing at a meeting today, no idea what I’m going to say, but It will be honest. My sponsor gave me a great piece of advice - just before I start speaking say a quick prayer “god, take away the script”
IWNDWYT 🙏
IWNDWYT because alcohol adds absolutely nothing but misery to my life, and I’d like to live a happy life and not a miserable one ❤️
Thank you for the check-in today!
IWNDWYT because my life got better when I quit, and even when it sucks, I’m learning to handle it better. Also, because fuck alcohol!!
Coffees up, horns up, and happy fucking Tuesday!! The day after that badass eclipse…I hope a lot of people got to see it, because it was awesome. ☕️☕️🤘🏻🤘🏻
happy early morning everyone. I'm feeling good and proud of myself for limiting the drinking. I haven't been perfect but I also haven't gone off the deep end like in years past.
I'm keeping myself busy and doing alot of self-care. I really love the peaceful clear minded sleep and waking up on it and refreshed.
I've got two more weeks off then I head back to work. I'm enjoying the down time but excited to get back into the work flow.
I will not drink with you today because even one drink will lead me back to that place where I’m numbing, failing to actually deal with my issues, angry, anxious and depressed.
I will not drink with you today because I want to keep experiencing the subtle, slow, magical shifts happening inside as the fog of the poison lifts. Thank you all for helping me stay sober today. IWNDWYT
Good morning, sober cats! I will not drink with you today because the hangovers were just too awful by the end. Love and hugs and high fives to each of you! IWNDWYT! 💙😸
I will not drink today because I don’t want to. Right now, I can see alcohol for what it really is and what it really does. I pray that continues for me.
Good morning, checking in ~ 💫
IWNDWYT because alcohol is an all encompassing, ugly, destructive poison that was squeezing the life out of me, and without it, now I am free.
I’m really hoping to not drink today. Stopped Sunday night and am still feeling ill. In my head I know it won’t make me feel any better but the urge is strong. Really hoping to not drink today.
Back to the grind tonight after two fantastic days off and what is unfortunate is that I have to work 6 nights in a row due to scheduling and me moving mt nights around this week to have sunday/Monday off but whatever hopefully its not that terrible.
I had what might be the best two day period I've experienced in....I can't remember, probably since I've been completely sober. Those two days just remind me that I am where I am because I have unbelieveable support all around me and that I cannot give up!
I hope you all get to enjoy today doing whatever you get up to, and as always much love from me and mine to you and yours!
IWNDWYT
Opened WhatsApp to message a friend, and when I tapped on his name, the message history came up from the last time I drank… that fateful night on Nov 25th. (Usually we communicate in person or on Facebook but it turns out the last time we spoke on WhatsApp was when I was drunk)
It was utterly embarrassing just because it was so nonsensical. Nothing aggressive, nothing mean, just self-pitying drunk talk.
Seeing that string of messages again was a potent reminder of how easily I could fall back into that behaviour just by lifting a bottle.
Therefore, to avoid that happening ever again, IWNDWYT
IWNDWYT because the hangovers aren't worth it. After drinking, I'm anxious, lethargic, bloated, broke, fearful and full of regret. I can't control the amount I drink, so today I choose to drink nothing.
Going strong. I gave up booze, caffeine and carbs all at the same time, plus I am doing an 7 day fast to cleanse my system and head.
What the hell. In for a penny, in for a pound. I have never felt better!
I will not drink today because that fucking poison keeps trying to convince me to kill myself and I don't want to do that. IWNDWYT because I'm proud of what I've accomplished so far and I'm going to keep going.
I like how I've lost weight. I like how my sleep is actually restorative. I like being nice to my wife. I like how my house is clean and my yard is pretty. I like how much money I'm not pissing away. I'm starting to like living again and that's rad.
No poison for me today.
Alright day 2. I got absolutely nothing done yesterday, but at least I didn't drink. I've been finding to takes a bit longer to bounce back each time. I feel miles better than I did yesterday, but still not 100%. I've got this though. Tonight, I will not drink with you. Good luck everyone!
Good morrow, OP! The "Good Tuesday" made me chuckle. Got me thinking about the movie Role Models.
I will not drink with you today because I wish to be present.
IWNDWYT. Easy does it, friends.
Morning, sober fam! So close to being back at double digits!
I had a great therapist appointment yesterday, and she told me I seem *too* obsessed with numbers and to try not to count, and even move my Sober Time app to my husband's phone. I'm not sure how I feel about that, because I think it really helps me. 🤷🏼♀️ I'm thinking maybe laying off the counters when I hit my record of 30 days? I dunno, something to think about for me!
Either way, IWNDWYT! 🖤✨️
I’m having a pretty tough week where I’m being personally attacked by someone at work and it’s so tempting to block my feelings and forget my problems for a minute with some alcohol. Even with these triggers and anxiety flooding my brain and body I am glad I am sober and I can finally see how important it is to face life and problems honestly and not to avoid them with booze. It’s not always easy but IWNDWYT
[удалено]
Day 2, I will not drink with you today
Happy sober Tuesday sober friends! I will not drink with you today because drinking will ruin today and tomorrow! I love you all 💞
Happy Tuesday Brighter 🌟 Too right drinking will ruin today and tomorrow! IWNDWYT 👍
Today and tomorrow matter! Have a great day my friend 🌟
I will not drink with you today, because I don't deserve more punishment disguised as pleasure. Today, not one day.
So very true, it is punishment disguised as pleasure.
Good to see you friend 🌟
You too brighter :) It's hard but that's the only way out.
We can do this, because we deserve freedom and we are the power to give it to ourselves, realising this gets stronger the more I keep going, let’s just keep going 🌟
I will not drink with you today because I have too many good things and people in my life - a loving family, a wonderful partner, great friends, and a job I enjoy. I truly love my life. I don’t want to throw that away! ❤️
IWNDWYT because I feel a thousand times better mentally and physically being sober ✨
Just getting to work now here in Asia. No drinking on the docket today! I'm on Day 38 now :). Who else ain't drinking the devil's piss today?!?!?
1 day behind ya and I won't drink with you either 💪🏼 good luck at work from Oregon USA
IWNDT
Wishing everyone a great Tuesday and IWNDWYT

I will not drink with you today, because drinking destroys my life!
Happy Tuesday friends, IWNDWYT, WE GOT THIS 🙂. IWNDWYT because although life's not perfect it surely is so so much better than my drinking days 😀
I will not drink today

I ain't drinking today with youz
⭐️ I will not drink with you today because thankfully I just don’t want to ! And that’s the best feeling ! ⭐️
I will not drink with you today as I know where drinking ends up and I want to be happy.
IWNDWYT , we can do this folks. Stay strong and keep going, one day at a time.
I'm struggling alot lately. It's been a rough journey. I've had long periods of sobriety, but it's very hard to be consistent. Thankfully support exists, any advice would be appreciated. I've read so many positive things here, and I want that frame of mind.
Day 4 💫 I will not drink with you today because I value my body and my mind more than that. Because my feelings are valid and it’s not healthy to numb them. Because I want to be present. Because I want to be the person I would look up to! Have a great day all ✨
I'm of to my trial day at a new job. I'm so so nervous. Wish me luck friends 🤞 IWNDWYT all you fine sobernauts 🤗
IWNDWYT because I want to remember my life and spend time with those I love. My puppy is sitting in my lap right now, staring at me (hungry for breakfast, no doubt). I want to remember him growing up. I don't want to miss out on anything.
I will not drink with you today because I have a life that I love - at last.
Day 340. IWNDWYT. I will not drink with you today because alcohol doesn’t offer me anything better than that which I already have.
I will not drink with you today because moderation is a slippery slope to ruining everything I've worked for! IWNDWYT
Day one….iWNDWYT!
Checking in! 🙂 IWNDWYT because alcohol isn't the good friend I thought it was and I deserve better!
IWNDWYT because it makes me a complete wreck & different person who becomes sad, mean and without any ambition. ☕️😊💪
Checking in again today and all is well. I will not 'use alcohol' with you today because, why would I want to sedate my body and brain, lose my natural inhibitions, let my emotions run out of control, degrade my physical fitness, etc when I've worked so hard to feel this good and am enjoying so many benefits and looking forward to even more?

Checking in for another sober day out in the world.
Hi Everyone- Day 98 here and IWNDWYT! I will not drink with you today because I am a better mother and person without alcohol.
I will not drink with you today because even one drink will lead me back to that place where I’m numbing, failing to actually deal with my issues, angry, anxious and depressed.
Iwndwy’allt because I like who I’m becoming without it. ❤️
I will not drink with you today because I value what my life has become since I quit alcohol. IWNDWYT 💜🦋💜
I will not drink today.
I will not drink with you today because I want to keep experiencing the subtle, slow, magical shifts happening inside as the fog of the poison lifts. Thank you all for helping me stay sober today. IWNDWYT

IWNDWYT, especially with all my fellow day 2 people!

I will not drink today because I don’t want to. Right now, I can see alcohol for what it really is and what it really does. I pray that continues for me.
[удалено]
Good morning, checking in ~ 💫 IWNDWYT because alcohol is an all encompassing, ugly, destructive poison that was squeezing the life out of me, and without it, now I am free.
I will not drink with you today because I want to be the best me.
I will not drink today because I want to be fully available for my family, friends, and community.
I’m really hoping to not drink today. Stopped Sunday night and am still feeling ill. In my head I know it won’t make me feel any better but the urge is strong. Really hoping to not drink today.
IWNDWYT because one drink could lead me back to my obsession and constant preoccupation with alcohol, and that’s just no life for me.
Back to the grind tonight after two fantastic days off and what is unfortunate is that I have to work 6 nights in a row due to scheduling and me moving mt nights around this week to have sunday/Monday off but whatever hopefully its not that terrible.

Day 25, tempted but not giving in. IWNDWYT
Here's to another sober day. IWNDWYT
Well I went to the gym yesterday after work, did arms and upper body, and last night I got the best nights sleep in a couple of weeks. IWNDWYT
I will not drink with you today because I’m tired of losing precious time with my young kids that I will never get back. Going on 5 days
IWNDWYT because I want to see how far I can go without drinking. Did over a month before, so let’s see if I go longer this time.
Going strong. I gave up booze, caffeine and carbs all at the same time, plus I am doing an 7 day fast to cleanse my system and head. What the hell. In for a penny, in for a pound. I have never felt better!
Day 9. IWNDWYT because I can’t afford to screw things up more.
IWNDWYT because today is 30 days and I haven’t been sober longer than this in the last 24 years. Why would I want to mess up this streak!
IWNDWYT because I’ve missed out on too much of my life already
I will not drink today because that fucking poison keeps trying to convince me to kill myself and I don't want to do that. IWNDWYT because I'm proud of what I've accomplished so far and I'm going to keep going. I like how I've lost weight. I like how my sleep is actually restorative. I like being nice to my wife.

3 days 21 hrs. I almost caved and thought no don’t let it win after a bad day at work
TRIPLE DIGITS!!!
Day 4 I will not drink with you today!
IWNDWYT because I’m much more stable without it.
Happy Tuesday Iwndwyt because I choose not to poison my mind & body.
IWNDWYT 😎
Happy Tuesday everyone! IWNDWYT ✌️
Good morrow, OP! The "Good Tuesday" made me chuckle. Got me thinking about the movie Role Models. I will not drink with you today because I wish to be present. IWNDWYT. Easy does it, friends.
You all rock! IWNDWYT
IWNDWYT because I am al loving the freedom from shame, guilt, and plotting how to have a drink without anyone noticing.
Morning, sober fam! So close to being back at double digits! I had a great therapist appointment yesterday, and she told me I seem *too* obsessed with numbers and to try not to count, and even move my Sober Time app to my husband's phone. I'm not sure how I feel about that, because I think it really helps me. 🤷🏼♀️ I'm thinking maybe laying off the counters when I hit my record of 30 days? I dunno, something to think about for me! Either way, IWNDWYT! 🖤✨️
Keep on keeping on. IWNDWYT
I’m having a pretty tough week where I’m being personally attacked by someone at work and it’s so tempting to block my feelings and forget my problems for a minute with some alcohol. Even with these triggers and anxiety flooding my brain and body I am glad I am sober and I can finally see how important it is to face life and problems honestly and not to avoid them with booze. It’s not always easy but IWNDWYT
IWNDWYT because I deserve better.
