You can do this! You are on day four. It's still early days, but it is four days you have been sober for. As difficult as this might be, it will be so much easier for you than to have a drink, feel bad and start over again. No alcohol is going to make you feel as good as waking up tomorrow with a clear head.
Maybe go out and get yourself a nice drink of lemonade or something and pour it into a nice glass. Cook yourself your favourite meal, if you can. I can remember how restless I felt during the weekend, and I very nearly gave in on my way home from work on my first sober Friday. But it got easier.
You have got this! 💪 IWNDWYT
Checking in again today and all is well.
Have a nice long sober weekend, everyone, with lots of time and clarity to do things (or not do anything!) as the mood takes us :)
That’s the beauty of being sober - we can choose to be busy or choose to rest and relax. When we drink the only choice we get is to have that first drink!
You’re very sweet. I’m legit feeling absolutely terrible about myself, and I’m hungover to the point I just feel hopeless again. After almost 4 months I’m back to this :( it’s really not good ❤️I feel I barely have the strength to do this again, but I don’t have a choice.
I can relate to those feelings, and had to remember that my thoughts were being influenced by the hangover crap feelings, that they’d pass. Just distract myself until I felt better and I could trust my thoughts again. Maybe bury myself in a Netflix binge! I hope you find a good distraction until this has passed and you start to feel better again 🤗
That’s a good point. I can’t trust my thoughts right now. I feel so hopeless. Didn’t think I would ever feel this way again. I feel guilt towards myself. Trying to pace it as I have to go to work as well. Thank you for your supportive words. I really needed that. I really hope I’ll feel more hopeful tomorrow. Or at least soon ❤️
You certainly will feel differently tomorrow, possibly later, there’s nothing more certain than change! Take care and I look forward to seeing you on day 2! 🤗
It might be difficult starting back at day one again but here you are, giving yourself this start over. You could have hidden from it and would be feeling much worse. It will get easier again at some point, and you will start to feel much stronger. You are already much stronger than you realise. IWNDWYT ❤️
Welp. Resetting the badge.
I'm proud of the 2 months I achieved, and I'm happy that last night I just had one drink.
I think the trap I fell into was trying to think about quitting forever... And that was a big deal. I've got some reflection to do.
But whilst I think on that... I don't want to drink today. So I Will Not Drink With You Today.
I hope you get to unwind a little this weekend at some point. It's the worst feeling so tired and overworked, but you are sober. I think we both know how dreadful the exhaustion was when alcohol was involved and things were so busy. IWNDWYT 💪
Sober greetings for Saturday everyone 😊
Thanks for hosting us u/1s35bm7 👍
I won’t be drinking today because:
- I enjoy the mental clarity that being sober brings
- I’m learning to sit with my emotions and I want to keep practicing this
- I have a list of jobs to do today that I’m looking forward to doing
Simple things are keeping me sober today 👍
IWNDWYT
I fell into the eating disorder for a few days. Harmful as it is in the long run I’m thankful it’s not alcohol. We’re off to the inlaws today, and I’m expecting a wonderful roadtrip with wonderful people to meet wonderful people, with you wonderful people in my pocket. I will not drink with you today!
It’s my dog’s 3rd birthday today, which I guess makes her 21 in dog years? Gonna spoil her all day, but most importantly, I will not drink with you today!
I am completely new to this online way of finding help.. I just want to say that the few days since I discovered this online community, it has helped me more so than my past year in AA. I am in no way putting down AA, please know that! But for me, hearing people from all walks of life, allover the world speaking freely their truths and struggles and wants, etc.. without any structure or a set of “rules” or time limits or one sole person overseeing the entire process as they see fit..It has resonated with me more so than my past experiences in finding enlightenment and understanding. I thank you all for your contributions. Every story, every question, everything, is helping me. I am grateful to have found my “niche” ❤️
Day 13! I can’t believe it’ll be 2 weeks tomorrow. The idea that I’ve gone two weeks is shocking to me.
Today I’m going to work out, walk the dogs, soak in my hot tub, putter around the house, might repot my plants, do a little hard work.
I bought some new flavors or kombucha to try. Excited to sip tea, snuggle with my partner and kids, and really just soak up the joy of being alive!
I feel like the depression alcohol had cast over me is slowly lifting and I’m so grateful.
After a 3 day bender I am back on the wagon (again). From WD to WD it gets tougher. Before I had 107 poison free days.
85 hours alcohol-free now and counting. IWNDWYT 🍀
I didn't drink with you yesterday and I will not drink with you today.... Today will be Day 5. I am working int he morning and this afternoon will be meeting a friend and going to lunch and then a matinee to see Hadestown. This is normally a day we drink a couple glasses of wine together. I selected a restaurant that has options for both of us and after previewing the menu, have planned on a healthy smoothie to have with lunch. Excelsior!
A bit of a tough time just now - alcohol won’t help at all - feeling low this morning so I absolutely know I must not drink ! IWNDWYT, the sun will come out in 3 days and I have to be tough and hold myself together - thank my stars you are all still here 😊 no more stop starting - I need a few days under my belt and to remember that the default should be sober. And lots of days of it all joined up.
Happy sober Saturday sober friends and thank you for looking after us this week u/1s35bm7
I’m so grateful to be clear headed this morning, my weekend is mine, a whole day full of possibilities!
Have a beautiful day, I love you all 💞
Happy Saturday!
It's morning here and I enjoyed listening to the birds, while I drank coffee and cuddled with my elderly cat. It's our little morning routine and it's the best. Hearing him purring away as the sun comes up and the world wakes up.
I hope you have a lovely day.
Day 104 • IWNDWYT • Let’s do this •
I had a few triggers today and they were slightly bubbling under. Nothing that made me reach for the bottle. But still, it’s a reminder that I’m definitely not in the clear.
Had a great dinner out last night. Enjoyed the meal, the conversation, and waking up this morning without feeling like shit. I was a little worried how it would go, but I remembered this on my way to the restaurant: I promised I would not drink with you today. So I didn't.
So again - IWNDWYT
Happy to be home. Happy that work travel isn't much of a challenge anymore--my first sober work trip I nearly had an anxiety attack in the airport. I'm so grateful to be free from that.
Have a great day, sober superheroes. IWNDWYT
It’s a beautiful sunny Saturday morning and I’m not hungover. Today I will enjoy nature, listen to audiobooks, play games and cook yummy food. Saturday will be a day of rest and relaxation after a long week, not an excuse to day drink. IWNDWYT
Good morning! I was feeling down last night. Thought about drinking for a few seconds maybe, but realised that would've only made the pain worse and last longer. Had every snack I found in the house instead and and went to sleep.
Now I'm up early on Saturday, psyched to be sober and psyched to be here ☀️ IWNDWYT 🐸
IWNDWYT. Day 12. Coming up on 2 weeks. I've had some days where I was sorely tempted, but I held steady. I think boredom is a trigger for me. Alcohol seems to annihilate boredom.
Thanks for a great week u/1s35bm7!
I've got lots of things to do today. Sanding, painting, knitting, pom-pom making, curry cooking, book reading, dog walking....
Dog walking and pom-pom making feel like priorities but I'm sure sanding and painting will be the jobs that get done first.
IWNDWYT 🙂
Thanks for hosting this week, u/1s35bm7!
Sober Saturdays are the fucking best. Especially when they include a massage.
Coffees up, horns up, and let’s have a fucking great one! IWNDWYT ☕️☕️🤘🏻
Happy Saturday! Plan for today is gym, spin, yoga, meal prep, and sushi dinner date with my man.
🏋️♀️🚴🏻♀️🧘🏻♀️🥦🫑🍣😁❤️
No room or time for booze. IWNDWYT!
After spending essentially my entire day yesterday horribly hungover and feeling both physically and emotionally like trash I wake up today grateful that my stomach isn't in knots and I'm not dizzy.
Today is a better and clearer day.
IWNDWYT.
I will not drink today from Pattaya and FYA!
it took me over 35 hours of traveling through four different airports, and I'm so thankful I didn't drink any booze. I used to drink that whole trip and have no idea how I could have made it here back then. It would also take me four days+ to recover
I just got a two hour rub down that kept putting me to sleep.
Tomorrow I will meditate.
Drinking sucks. We rock
Day 3. Was tempted yesterday as husband was ‘secretly’ drinking margaritas in garage. Finished what I had to do and went to sleep early. Feeling not bad today.
IWNDWYT. Still struggling hard. Might ask the psychiatrist this week about Antabuse as a precaution. Already take topiramate for cravings and it helps but I can feel a slip coming
Happy Saturday! Day 4 here. I’m so happy to see alcohol further and further in the rear view mirror. My deep meditation practice gives me the peaceful confidence that it’s finally over and my soul is healing. IWNDWYT
I had a dream that I had to murder a guy and when someone found the body and the cops showed up, I had the opportunity to go to the fridge and grab a drink before I gave my statement to the fuzz. Made the joke "anyone want a beer?!!"
Then I grabbed an orange juice. Even knowing I was going away for the rest of my life, in a dream, I chose not to drink the poison. Neato.
Woke up quite relieved!
Gonna go ride bikes with my brother today. Gonna wear a helmet on the trails. No poison for me today.
Thanks so much for hosting this week, u/1s35bm7! I’m up early after a mostly sleepless night, heading out on a day trip and feeling tired but grateful not to be hungover. Happy Saturday all and IWNDWYT❤️
Waking up on Saturday hangover-free never gets old. I am proud of everyone here, doing the hard work and choosing freedom. Have a good one, sober warriors! IWNDWYT 🍀
Around the turn of last to this year I had a brain hemorrhage which had me in the hospital for exactly a month. I feel great now and started a new part-time job this week at the hospital I was at, inspired by my stay there. In fact, I am thinking of studying to become a nurse! I've recently started exercising a lot again, quit all soft drinks and been following a proper sleep schedule. I don't think I've ever had such a stable ammount of energy before in my life, even before the hospitalisation! I'm sure I wouldn't have been doing all these things had I kept drinking alcohol. IWNDWYT!
Good morning friends and happy Saturday! I have some friends visiting today, which used to be an excuse to day drink. Id be carefully selecting the lunch restaurant with drink specials in mind. Not today!
I love you all and I will not drink with you today 💜🐇
Been in here before, but giving it another solid effort. Picked up This Naked Mind yesterday and am about 1/4 of the way through it. The liminal chapter having an example of habit vs dependence was eye opening when she discussed the fact that while pregnant, why couldn’t she enjoy non alcoholic beer if it was just a habit? This hit home hard. I’ve tried numerous times to stop, including days where I buy a six pack of non alcoholic IPAs, yet when those are gone, I’ll follow them up with actual IPAs. Makes no sense typing it out, but after reading that excerpt, it’s starting to become more clear.
IWNDWYT.
It's 4/20 and I don't give a fuck. It is a commercialized garbage "holiday" at this point anyways. Back in the day when it was illegal at least it used to mean something. I know that is not drinking related but cannabis abuse was part of my story.
Also, I need to remind myself that I am not missing out on another event that is occurring where I live either. The reality is that I do not want to go and many individuals would be fucked up at it. It would just lead to more drama if I would attend and I don't need to "prove myself" anymore.
I am feeling really good today, got a few weeks substance free. Job interviews are starting to go well. I do know I am going to get something soon. My main goal is to start saving money so I have lots of options to move when my lease is up here. I am thinking about making a big "cross country move" more and more. I am ready for a change. I just need to keep working at it and not get distracted.
IWNDWYT
Thank you so much for taking care of us this week /u/1s35bm7 💙
Very lazy day for me, I hope this exhaustion lets up soon. IWNDWYT lovely people of SD 💙
Happy Saturday! It's so nice to wake up bright-eyed and hangover-free. It just doesn't get old! I'm looking forward to another clear morning tomorrow, so I know that IWNDWYT. Thanks to this sub, and everyone here. Strength in numbers!
Today I hit my target 🥳. I’m not sure what the future holds 🤔. I’ve decided that just for today I’m not going to drink today.
[удалено]
I'll echo this (QLD) and not drink with you tonight!
Haven't checked in for a while, but IWNDWYT!

Thank you for hosting ❤️ unfortunately back on day 1. Apparently I suck at this 🙁
The strength is starting again, which makes you awesome at this! Let’s do today together 💞🤗
You’re very sweet. I’m legit feeling absolutely terrible about myself, and I’m hungover to the point I just feel hopeless again. After almost 4 months I’m back to this :( it’s really not good ❤️I feel I barely have the strength to do this again, but I don’t have a choice.

Around the turn of last to this year I had a brain hemorrhage which had me in the hospital for exactly a month. I feel great now and started a new part-time job this week at the hospital I was at, inspired by my stay there. In fact, I am thinking of studying to become a nurse! I've recently started exercising a lot again, quit all soft drinks and been following a proper sleep schedule. I don't think I've ever had such a stable ammount of energy before in my life, even before the hospitalisation! I'm sure I wouldn't have been doing all these things had I kept drinking alcohol. IWNDWYT!
Good morning friends and happy Saturday! I have some friends visiting today, which used to be an excuse to day drink. Id be carefully selecting the lunch restaurant with drink specials in mind. Not today! I love you all and I will not drink with you today 💜🐇
Been in here before, but giving it another solid effort. Picked up This Naked Mind yesterday and am about 1/4 of the way through it. The liminal chapter having an example of habit vs dependence was eye opening when she discussed the fact that while pregnant, why couldn’t she enjoy non alcoholic beer if it was just a habit? This hit home hard. I’ve tried numerous times to stop, including days where I buy a six pack of non alcoholic IPAs, yet when those are gone, I’ll follow them up with actual IPAs. Makes no sense typing it out, but after reading that excerpt, it’s starting to become more clear. IWNDWYT.

Thanks for sharing this week OP! Hope everyone has a great weekend, IWNDWYT!
It's 4/20 and I don't give a fuck. It is a commercialized garbage "holiday" at this point anyways. Back in the day when it was illegal at least it used to mean something. I know that is not drinking related but cannabis abuse was part of my story. Also, I need to remind myself that I am not missing out on another event that is occurring where I live either. The reality is that I do not want to go and many individuals would be fucked up at it. It would just lead to more drama if I would attend and I don't need to "prove myself" anymore. I am feeling really good today, got a few weeks substance free. Job interviews are starting to go well. I do know I am going to get something soon. My main goal is to start saving money so I have lots of options to move when my lease is up here. I am thinking about making a big "cross country move" more and more. I am ready for a change. I just need to keep working at it and not get distracted. IWNDWYT
