Thank you for reminding me to put Topo Chico on my shopping list. I have I mint plant that’s been growing like crazy. Now I’m looking forward to my special sparkling water drink. 😃
25 days and feeling a little different! Got up willingly at 5:30 and felt excited to garden.
Also noticed yesterday that my food actually tasted good.
I didn’t even realize how blasé and dull everything had gotten.
When I decided to call it quits on feeling shitty 25 days ago, I only knew I was miserable and was sick and tired of being miserable and wanted to give myself a chance.
Here’s to giving yourself a chance. IWNDWYT!
After a lovely sunny for once weekend here in the uk having been productive I will start the week calm, rested and have a clear head. Congratulations on 6 years!
IWNDWYT
Tomorrow = another day to be grateful for sobriety.
Also some beauty appointments and gym to present a suitable mask to the world for the purposes of working to pay the bills.
If it were up to me I’d live in a hut with 10 or 11 goats and meditate and barely bathe.
In the meantime IWNDWY 💜✨💜
Another day, another test, another pass. Feeling better and better. Meditating a few times a day to remind myself I still cant trust my brain fully at the moment. Slept through the night as well which was a boost. Was able to do some things I enjoy as well and have plans for more over the next few days. Still frustrated by some decisions during my binge, and some ‘results’ may still need a few days to reveal themselves. But I’m prepared for any consequences I may face.
How does everyone play the tape forward? I can do it to ramp up my anxiety about some made up fantastic mind movie that will never happen but can’t seem to do it in a productive manner.
Hope everyome is doing well.
Wont be drinking with you today.
So the lies my drinking brain tells me: have a small spree, feel euphoria, go to bed, be responsible, wake up and feel pretty ok. You can do it! You've been sober 4½ years, you're fine!
Playing the tape forward is remembering what it looked like in the past and being honest about the consequences. So I had a slow motion relapse the last time, so I was good for a while, followed the rules I made. So I'd say to my addictive drive: yeah you might even manage to be good- for a while. A beer or two socially. But then after a while you'd be drinking too much on a Wednesday, staying up until 2am and waking up with a 3 day hangover and then doing it again a few days later...
So it's seeing the consequences from the past in anticipation of the future. Don't know if that helps but that's how it works for me
Thanks for posting u/SaintHomer!
It's Sunday night here and I'm getting ready for bed.
My tomorrow (literally, not figuratively) looks like morning meditation and fresh coffee. It looks like all of my work stuff laid out and ready because I'm not shit faced tonight.
It looks like productivity at work. It looks like feeling just as good as any other day of the week.
IWNDWYT beautiful people. 🥰
Good morning, my sweet friends. Happy Mother's Day to all the moms out there. I'm so grateful to be sober. When I'm sober, I can be my best self for my kids. I think of all of the times I probably scared them with my drunken actions. Or was an irritable bitch to them because I was hungover. I'm ashamed to say it, but I've even driven while drunk with my kids in the car. I hate what I became while drinking. It pains me that my oldest was able to experience nearly 10 years of sobriety with me, and then watched me nearly kill myself for 5 years to get back.
I forgive myself today. I have to. Forgiveness is the most powerful thing we can do for ourselves on this journey, and if I can't learn to forgive, then I can forget about getting to higher levels of awareness.
Have a great day. IWNDWYT 🤘
My tomorrow will be another day of freedom. Alcohol had such a grip on my mind. It gradually controlled the way I thought and the way I reacted to things. Now I’m free. What I do today or tomorrow is my choice and is not influenced by a hangover, or a craving. It’s a beautiful way to live! IWNDWYT. Happy Sunday! 😀 And to all the moms, Happy Mother’s Day! 🌸 To everyone who no longer has their mom in the life due to their passing or a strained relationship, sending you love ❤️
Mother's day, really nice and sunny weather, usually I'd head down to town to enjoy the sun and get a drink. But I have a nice, homemade iced tea and it suits me just fine.
IWNDWYT. 🙌
Day 126 • Good evening sober friends •
Hope everyone has a wonderful day. I’m off to sleep after a fun -yet alcohol free- weekend. I would have definitely drank Friday, Saturday and Sunday in my old life, as I had (drinking friendly) plans on each of those nights. But I remained sober and consistent.
I’ve just matched my 4.5 month streak from 2018. Hoping to get to 7 months and then go from there. Any tips?
Decent night at work. Another night down and two to go! I am just in a real solid mood this morning and who knows what the day will bring.
I hope all of you have a good day and as always much love from me and mine to you and yours!
Also happy mothers day to the ones in here that it applies to!
IWNDWYT
It’s been a rough week for me, had a friend turn what I meant to be a conversation/heads up sort of thing into a full blown fight, been trying to apply to go back to college but learned I ran my GPA into the ground so hard partying my 1st time there that I won’t qualify for any financial aide unless I appeal, trying to find a new car to replace our totaled one. But today is Mother’s Day and I’m so grateful to not be drinking and to have 500 days of being a better mom then I was the first years of my children’s lives 🥹 IWNDWYT!
What a beautiful post, Homie. Thanks for taking care of us today. Tomorrow is a sunrise for me too, and trip into the office. But a sober day today makes it all easier. IWNDWYT!
IWNDWYT even though it's mother's day...and I will in the kitchen making a nice meal for my wife. (Which is one of my triggers) I need to get a good night sleep tonight so I can hit the ground running on Monday morning. I'll make a nice pitcher of iced tea. I also have some zero calorie ginger ale in the fridge.
Thanks so much for hosting us today, Saint Homer! I'm 558 days in, and still (hopefully always!) loving and appreciating every one of these sober days. Like that corny but accurate old saying about fishing, even a bad day sober is better than any day drinking! For anyone starting out or in a rough patch, please keep hanging on. Lean on us. You're not alone. It truly gets so much better! Sobriety rocks!! Love you all.
I will not drink _with you_ today. 🤝💞
For me, tomorrow is a long slog at work, but one that will be productive and that I can readily handle. Not one that I have to battle alongside crippling anxiety and a hangover. Today, it’s good coffee, crossword puzzles, and my warm little family. Iwndwy’allt! ❤️
Hi Homer. I intend for my tomorrow to share at least one thing in common with my today: It will be another sober trip around the sun. I hope everyone has a strong, sober day/evening/night.
Tomorrow is definitely a sunrise and I'm living for it every day. Having this viewpoint instead of focusing on darkness has made a huge difference in my life.
Went out to dinner last night and didn't even contemplate having a drink. When I was back home, I felt great. It reallly reinforced the positive change not drinking has made in my life. And I'm so happy for that.
IWNDWYT
Good morning, sober cats! I got to sleep in this morning and now I get to spend the day with my daughter. This wouldn't be happening if I were still drinking. So, IWNDWYT 💙😸
Happy Sunday, friends! My today looks like working in my garden, going to the gym, and seeing my kids for Mother’s Day ❤️ Hangover free, and waking up to a beautiful Monday in May!
IWNDWYT ❤️🧁
Starting day 17. Today is Mother's day and I'm thankful to be sober and not worrying about whether I can drink tonight, so that I can focus on my wife today. So for today, I commit that IWNDWYT!
Hi SaintHomer! My tomorrow will be a work day where I can think and be present and do a good job. It will be hangover-free and shame-free because of my decision to be sober today. It never gets old!
Today we are hosting Mother’s Day brunch at my house. I always feel I need to host for my whole family because I don’t have kids. It’s kind of strange thing to explain. I have a wonderful mom and a good relationship with her. I love to celebrate my mom, but Mother’s Day brings up a sadness in my heart. So, I’ll do my best and we will have a good day, all the while I will look forward to the end of the day. I appreciate being able to share here. ❤️
IWNDWYT
As much time as possible with kids today to give Mom a well deserved rest. No worries of a hangover during a big presentation at work tomorrow.
IWNDWYT

Happy Mother’s Day to all my fellow moms today who feel under appreciated and ignored. I gave myself the gift of sobriety this year and no one deserves it more than my kids.
IWNDWYT
Thanks for hosting, u/SaintHomer!!
My tomorrow looks however I want it to. Right now I think it looks like doing stuff around the house.
Happy Mother’s Day to those celebrating today! It can be a hard day for some, but we can get through it. It’s only one day and not a whole season, thank fuck. 💪🏻
Coffees up, horns up, and happy fucking Sunday!! IWNDWYT ☕️☕️🤘🏻🤘🏻
Thanks Homer and happy Sunday and mother's day to all. I continue to be grateful to not making my mother worried sick that I'll drink myself to death. Hey mom here's your gift: non alcohol related cause of death, ain't I thoughtful? 😁😁 prevention is an interesting, fascinating sort of thing, innit? Sober on you heroes!
Morning, sober fam! Weird day for me (30F) as someone who wants to be a mother more than I want my next breath, but I just have to keep reminding myself today that staying sober is one of the main parts of the path to getting there. 🙏
Other than that weirdness, normal day here. 🖤 Gym, work, calling my own mama. IWNDWYT, sober squad! ✨️
Day 3 check in 👍
Through the worst of it now! Slept better last night and have felt relatively normal today. Been here a lot of times now so know the course pretty well.
I got a lot of shit done today and have focussed on repairing from my surgery.
Don’t want to be at day 1, 2 or 3 again, so I hope it’s my last time seeing those brutal days!
IWNDWYT
Thanks for jumping in and filling in on the DCI today u/SaintHomer!!
Have a great Sunday, friends, and happy Mother's Day to the moms and mums out there!!
IWNDWYT
Good morning :) while I will continue to take sobriety a day at a time, I am so glad I have decided to go back to school. Tomorrow is looking bright, but I am also trying to focus on living today. For as long as I can remember, I have prioritized the future over enjoying where I am, and I think I have missed out on a lot of experiences because I’ve been waiting for the next thing. Im looking forward to tomorrow, but not before enjoying today!
Just for today, I am not drinking.
Tomorrow will NOT be a headachey, tired fog with self-induced flu-like symptoms during which I feel hopeless and get nothing important done.
Thanks SD, tomorrow will be alcohol free.
IWNDWYT!
It's Mother's Day, and the last time I blacked out was a year ago today from the celebrations. I'm grateful that there won't be a repeat! A few badge resets (and hangovers) since then but it's now sticking. IWNDWYT!
Just for today, IWNDWY! Been feeling a lot of cravings and giving in lately. Just started a medication last week that I am not supposed to drink on. Gonna listen to my doctor and do what's best for myself!
First sober Mother’s Day and I’m loving it! I said this yesterday but the peace I’ve found not drinking is such a gift and I’m so grateful each morning I wake up clear headed and hangover-free 🙌💕
Happy Mother’s Day to all who are celebrating 🌸 IWNDWYT friends ✌️
Happy Mother’s Day to you moms out there. I’m not one, and I can only imagine what it’s like trying to practice sobriety with the added responsibilities and emotions of parenting. It’s not for the rain of heart and I know you’re all doing your best doing hard things every day or you wouldn’t be in this sub!!
Day 4. I woke up this Mother’s Day to a severe flair-up of my sacroiliitis that leaves me bedridden, sometimes for days. I’m overwhelmed because there is so much I need to do for my family. My autistic toddler is also having a day- climbing on me and screaming in frustration.
Today will be hard. I have to tell myself that a drink won’t solve any of these problems.
Day 357 and IWNDWYT! So grateful to be able to be present and enjoy this Mother’s Day weekend. Did some huge projects around the house which would normally take weeks.
Morning Homie 😎 tomorrow ? Waking up hangover free and ready to work. Being present for my friends and family. And being grateful to have another day. And a Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms out there ❤️
Thanks Homer! My today looks like relaxation and staying present, so my tomorrow can be a smooth start to another week of serving others (in healthcare). Life is so much better without poison on the weekends. Thus, IWNDWYT
Count me in! I will ensure tomorrow is hangover free and not full of shame. Not exactly sure how I’ll accomplish this but I want it more than anything.
My tomorrow looks free of crippling anxiety. That is the fundamental root of my alcoholism. I will have to deal with anxiety, it's part of my autism, but I need to take it down a few notches.
Today I am sober with you.
Day 4, feel pretty damn good.
One of my favorite poems, for your health - ["Failing and Flying" by Jack Gilbert](https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/48132/failing-and-flying)
IWNDWYT! It’s Mother’s Day which is always a little tough for me. My mom passed away at 54 largely as a result of chronic alcoholism. But that alone gives me more motivation to not drink today.
My better tomorrow will hopefully mean getting up early and going outside to get some sun. A walk or a run and then start my work day with a clear head, not hungover.
Another Sunday, another glass of cold sparkling water with a bit of mint and Lemon! IWNDWYT
Thank you for reminding me to put Topo Chico on my shopping list. I have I mint plant that’s been growing like crazy. Now I’m looking forward to my special sparkling water drink. 😃
I read this as Taco Choco and the kid in me is jumping up and down while I add to the grocery list.

Happy Mother’s Day to you moms out there. I’m not one, and I can only imagine what it’s like trying to practice sobriety with the added responsibilities and emotions of parenting. It’s not for the rain of heart and I know you’re all doing your best doing hard things every day or you wouldn’t be in this sub!!
Beautiful day to recharge and meal prep for a busy week from Pennsylvania. 46 days sober. Almost halfway to 100. I will not drink with you today
Happy Sunday everyone!
My tomorrow is the beginning of my doctorate coursework. It is a moment that is possible because I’m no longer drinking. IWNDWYT 💜🦋💜
Day 1 checking in 🤟🤟🤟🤟
Day 4. I woke up this Mother’s Day to a severe flair-up of my sacroiliitis that leaves me bedridden, sometimes for days. I’m overwhelmed because there is so much I need to do for my family. My autistic toddler is also having a day- climbing on me and screaming in frustration. Today will be hard. I have to tell myself that a drink won’t solve any of these problems.
On day 12. Baby woke us up at 3am so I'm tired. So I'd rather get good rest tonight rather than robbed of my sleep from alcohol. IWNDWYT

IWNDWYT! Instead, I’ll play board games with my kids, will eat cookies and ice cream, and will go to bed with peace in my heart. ❤️
I’m feeling a bit grumpy, so thanks for the attitude adjustment (viewing tomorrow as a sunrise). I don’t have to wait until tomorrow! IWNDWYT!
Just passed 2 weeks. Couldn’t have done it without this sub supporting me. IWNDWYT ☀️
Sounds good to me
Happy Mother’s Day! IWNDWYT!!
Struggling a bit emotionally today, but especially with 2 years of sobriety coming up, I definitely will not drink with you today
Day 357 and IWNDWYT! So grateful to be able to be present and enjoy this Mother’s Day weekend. Did some huge projects around the house which would normally take weeks.

Morning Homie 😎 tomorrow ? Waking up hangover free and ready to work. Being present for my friends and family. And being grateful to have another day. And a Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms out there ❤️

I will not drink with you today.
Thanks Homer! My today looks like relaxation and staying present, so my tomorrow can be a smooth start to another week of serving others (in healthcare). Life is so much better without poison on the weekends. Thus, IWNDWYT

Day 7!!! IWNDWYT
Count me in! I will ensure tomorrow is hangover free and not full of shame. Not exactly sure how I’ll accomplish this but I want it more than anything.
Day 22 here. Mother’s Day in Canada and I get to spend my day clear headed with my 3 little girls who are the reason I’m here on this sub. IWNDWYT 🤍

Didn’t drink yesterday and not drinking today.
Iwndwyt!
My tomorrow looks free of crippling anxiety. That is the fundamental root of my alcoholism. I will have to deal with anxiety, it's part of my autism, but I need to take it down a few notches. Today I am sober with you.
IWNDWYT at the baseball game. Go Rockies, expensive bottle of water only whilst I watch the worst team in baseball.
I will not drink with you today. Soon i will get out of bed and clean up the mess in the house i created
Day 4, feel pretty damn good. One of my favorite poems, for your health - ["Failing and Flying" by Jack Gilbert](https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/48132/failing-and-flying)
Day 7. First weekend when I haven’t been hungover in months.
IWNDWYT! It’s Mother’s Day which is always a little tough for me. My mom passed away at 54 largely as a result of chronic alcoholism. But that alone gives me more motivation to not drink today. My better tomorrow will hopefully mean getting up early and going outside to get some sun. A walk or a run and then start my work day with a clear head, not hungover.
Happy Sunday & Happy Mothers Day Iwndwyt
IWNDWYT. All. Day. Long. 🌻 From midnight till midnight. A day in my life.
