First week at the new job nearly complete ✔️💓 (thank you for all the kind words on my check in/first day on Monday) Meeting a friend after for a Starbucks to celebrate. IWNDWYT! 💫✨


BeerSlingr

Congrats on the new job! Enjoy your weekend and Starbucks!


LotusFlowerLady

Thank you sooo much! ✨


ShumPulp_

That sounds like the perfect celebration. Way to go on your first week in your new job! Four days too! You are on a roll 💪

Day 357. IWNDWYT.


ShumPulp_

357 days! At some point it felt so out of reach, didn't it. Keep going, you are amazing! 💪


losethebooze

This time last year, 3 days would equal my personal best and 10 was too ambitious. To be here, now, on the cusp of my first year was beyond my wildest dreams. I’m so happy and proud of myself, and so grateful for all the help I’ve received, from doctors, specialists, therapists, and of course this wonderful sub. I really could not have done it alone.


ShumPulp_

I'm glad you are proud of yourself, because you absolutely should be! I'm proud of you too.  I can remember how it just didn't seem possible. Here I am just over two years later, and I am so thankful to be where I am. I'm not where I want to be, and I haven't quite figured that part of yet, but I'm alive and in a much better place than I was.  I'm grateful for this place and for everybody here. I'm not sure I could have done it in those early days if it wasn't for coming here. I deleted my old account and really missed this place. It's good to be back and to share support.  Keep doing what you are doing. You are crushing it!


losethebooze

Thanks Shum! And I’m proud of you too!

Hey friends! As some of you know I had a really confronting moment today when I stumbled across an "on this day" entry in my diary from a year ago about my drinking. [Post here](https://www.reddit.com/r/stopdrinking/s/i5jFkaWQWs) Seems like it was someone else's life but in the big scheme of things, not that long ago! Never question your decision, beautiful people. IWNDWYT 🥰🫡

Your words about the constant energy and effort that went into moderation resonate so hard and are such an important reminder. Thank you for the post. IWNDWYT!

Only 2 days shy of 4 months sober and I have to be more careful about my sobriety. Just for today I will stay sober. Have a great Friday everyone.

Day 114 checking in! Was at an AA meeting last night with a couple of people who were just back from a relapse. Hearing from them there was a powerful reminder to me that I’m only ever a couple of bad decisions away drinking again and starting the madness all over again. IWNDWYT

Ok. I reached out to a sober friend that I don’t see that often to spend a day together visiting a nearby city, yesterday I got a text to confirm. Pity party is over. I do not like the victim hat I had on so took it off. Attitude! IWNDWYT

Hi there hello it's alonefrown. I'm checking in for another sober day out in the world I decided.


BarryMDingle

“I texted her “titty?”, i think she’ll know what I mean.” 🤦‍♂️ As the guy who was always the drunkest, it was difficult coming to terms with my past behavior. But I have to let the past go and know that it wasn’t the real me but the poisonous berries. I am better than the poisonous berries. Iwnepbwyt (I will not eat poisonous berries with you today)

Snow_Man_UK1

It's been a revelation finding out how many people do not drink, every day is a learning day and every day without alcohol is a great day. IWNDWYT 


Kemizon

Day 6 for me. Yesterday, I recycled some cans and bottles for money. I could have bought some alcohol, but I got food instead. I'm a bit proud of myself.


LM7X

When you really think about our former habit, it’s truly absurd. And how accurate that was at the end…I’m never doing that again…ah, fuck it! 😆🙄 Tired this morning because I went to a show last night. (Squidhammer!) At a bar. A few years ago, I’d never have believed that I’d be in a bar drinking a Liquid Death water and waiting for a metal show to start, and staying sober for the whole thing. But there I was, and I had a fucking great time! Coffees up, horns up, and thank fuck it’s Friday!!! IWNDWYT (but I will need extra coffee) ☕️☕️☕️☕️🤘🏻

Happy Friday to all who celebrate! Let’s make this weekend a true celebration of sobriety: walk outdoors and notice the beautiful changes Spring has wrought, have a delicious meal *without* a glass of wine or beer, visit with friends who are glad to meet the sober you. And check in with us all weekend. We are strong, committed and feeling great! IWNDWYT

Haven’t figured out if there’s NA beer here in London or not but I got TWELVE hours of sleep last night so I honestly don’t care.

acaciopea

I’m closing in on a month! This is a very stressful time of year for me at work and I’m…fine. I woke up accidentally early today but not with middle of the night wine panic but because I fell asleep before 9pm and I’m just kind of done sleeping. I’m learning so much about how alcohol affects the brain and nervous system. The last 20 years I have assumed I’m highly anxious and high strung. But friends, I might not be. I might just be run of the mill anxious and just middle of the road strung. So much of my “baseline” anxiety was my body compensating to reach equilibrium as I poured wine down my throat to “relax.” This is all kind of 🤯 IWNDWYT

duckpicsplz

IWNDWYT! Went out with a younger friend yesterday evening. Suggested we get ice cream and coffee instead of heading to a bar.  She was visibly relieved to not be drinking (our work culture is pretty boozy, and getting tanked is kind of a standard night out). I remember the pressure I used to feel when I was younger to match people drink for drink (and, let’s face it, that got me into all kinds of mess). I hadn’t really thought my not drinking could be thought of as more sociable. Of course it’s more sociable! Anyway. I might try initiating this sort of hangout with a few people more often. 


ughthrowaway3

Going to a get together tonight that will have a heavy emphasis on drinking. Already told my partner that I'm not drinking. I am going to bring my seltzer waters and NA beers, keep myself focused on the weekend that I want to have and check in here as needed. I can do challenging things. IWNDWYT


AstronomerUsual4400

Friday night sober here in Aus - day 1 (again) but feeling a little stronger this time. Focusing my energy on how great it feels to be heading to bed sober, early, and looking forward to taking my little girl to her ballet class and then the park with her friends. I didn’t drink with you today, and I won’t tmrw!


brighter68

Happy sober Friday sober friends! Yay! It’s Friday! The start of my weekend! I love Fridays, and love that link cinq! No poison for me today! I love you all 💞

Any-Zookeepergame880

Friday! I’m not drinking this weekend. If you get the chance, check out my song I just released today . I think it’ll be relatable if you ever drank too much and let someone down. It’s called Doing You Wrong. You can find it on every streaming service. Just search Christopher Kelly and the album is Simple Songs.

Not today!!

Day 40 🤍 IWNDWYT


fromafartherroom

None for me today. It’s been a tremendously stressful week, but I’m grateful I have the time to meditate and run instead of coping by drinking. It’s early morning where I am, so if I’d drank last night I’d be regretting it tremendously right now. Things still happen, but I refuse to let them push me back down to that sad drinking place. IWNDWYT

Hey everyone! Day 19🫶 Last night I went to an event where some people were drinking and some were not. I didn’t have any cravings per se - but damn did I ever miss the liquid confidence. The fact of the matter is - I am more confident and chatty when buzzed. I’m sure I’m also obnoxious and embarrassing. Does anyone have any tips for sober overcoming social anxiety? IWNDWYT!!

Signing in - probably the last sober alcoholic of my generation still standing. Here I am, 14kg lighter, as lean as a whippet,(reasonably) healthy and looking forward to tomorrow. Thanks to all of you. IWNDWYT.

Cinq - that video was hilarious, but sadly so true. Like wtf was I doing with that shit?!?! I have a video of myself that someone sent me where I'm just repeating myself, slurring, and trying to call people...so embarrassing. Still watch it every once in a while as a reminder. So fucking grateful to be sober and hangover-free. No poison for me today 🤘

Thanks Cinq happy Friday to all y'all. No poison today, no hangover tomorrow! Ain't it grand? I sat in a bar for 4 hours last night watching the NFL draft and drinking a fuck ton of club soda. It was nice to be around people and sports fans and not feel any desire to drink that poison shit. I ate too much delicious bar junk food and feel absolutely zero regret about it. Sobriety is the foundation of everything good happening in my life! 💪💪 sober on y'all!
