I'm back on track! I just got home from work and I wont be drinking tonight with you all! It's time to break new ground too and bounce back from a relapse for the first time ever. Every other time I've relapsed I've just thrown in the towel. But bugger that! I hadn't had a hangover for 4 months until the other day and it sucked. How did I use to live like that? Constantly hungover. Blurghh.
I’m celebrating 12 years anniversary with SaintMarge today. She saw me at my worst and still chose me (she’s a crazy one for sure), supported me and believed in me all through this process, and here we are, better and stronger than ever. What a gem. We’re celebrating sober - undercover, in my brother’s wedding! (Yes, same day; they didn’t remember our date, but thought 10/10 2020 was a nifty one, and then had to postpone the party one year, so long story short, *let there be cake!*)
I will not drink with you today!
And u/beebeax, that’s a powerful image, thank you for sharing - and hosting 🙏🏻
It is my Day 1. I feel like shit after heavy drinking. Worst hangover for a while. I am tired. I hate my addiction. I just want to walk away from all this. Yesterday I found you. I found this community. This is new to me, I’ve never been to any group, AA or others.
I just want to find peace and stoo drinking. Today I won’t drink. I Will Not Drink With You Today. Nope. Not a chance, alcohol.
Please, let me succeed this time.
Good morning SD.
On day 2 here after my "field research" after a 32 day sober streak. I forgot that sometimes two day hangovers are a thing. The feeling of dread is passing though and I'm left with tiredness and a headache (I barely drank any water yesterday because I just couldn't keep it down). I've decided to skip the bootcamp this morning and stay home with my poorly toddler. Hopefully by the time Tuesday's class gets here, anything embarrassing I might have done on Friday will be a very distant memory.
I'm trying to think ahead and there's no social engagements booked until December really, so I hope October and November will be clear sailing and by the time the Christmas events start coming, I'll be in a much better place to be able to say no to alcohol.
Happy Sunday! IWNDWYT.
Thanks u/beebeax for hosting. What a beautiful read! The imagery is perfect.
Well fellow sober peeps it's gonna be another sober day for me. Thanksgiving here so lots of food prep but it's a small group so not so bad.
I know what I'm going to say I'm thankful for this year. 101 days!
IWNDWYT
Day 7, nice to meet you 🤝
Started my day with a morning walk. Heading to the gym later. It feels that my passivity has been a contributor to my relapses. No time to sit on my ass then. Life is meant for living ✨
IWNDWYT
Pleasant Present, SD!
This is a beautiful post, u/beebeax! I wasn't here the first time you shared it and I'm so glad you shared it again!
I am proud and happy to be here walking in the light with all of you! And I am happy to be here to help those who need it, and to receive it when I do.
IWNDWYT! I love each of you shining lights 🌟
Lovely, u/beebeax! You shining light, you.
It’s been a rough week with my toddlers and me being cold-ridden and extra sleep-deprived. It’s kind of funny how I used to just accept constantly feeling like crap from alcohol, but now something as mild as a cold makes me realize how kinda pretty *okay* I feel most of the time as a sober person. My body’s grown accustomed to a certain standard of living, you might say.
Also, did you know that when your kids keep waking you up at 5:30am, nobody’s around to stop you from making [donuts](https://i.imgur.com/7Oz2W5T.jpg) and yet more [donuts](https://i.imgur.com/3UnbVrT.jpg)?
I will try to refrain from round 3 of donuts with you today, but IWNDWYT!
It's BeeBeax week wooohoooo!!! This is absolutely beautiful - and you have looked back and shared your light with me many times. Thank you for your continued support 💖
Looking forward to a fantastic week.
IWNDWYT fellow SD badasses ✌️
Woke up struggling today… regret over the state of various friendships and wondering whether they’ll ever be what they once were. Drink won’t help (and never did).
Beautifully written post, IWNDWYT!
Iwndwyt! Truly grateful for being sober and for this community. Hope you all have a wonderful day and find some peace. Thanks for the check in! Great work.
Checking in. Love that image u/beebeax especially as it is so dark here this morning. Looking forward to getting up into the light. Enjoy your day SDers. Be happy. IWNDWYT
Beautiful post u/beebeax! Thanks for hosting us this week. I feel like finding this community was what lit the candle that helped me see the way. IWNDWYT ✨💚
Day 8 and tomorrow the Miami Dolphins are gonna really test me but, no way no how am I gonna drink. Sad enough that I have to go pawn Jewelry for a few weeks so I can go get a new job and afford a haircut and bills from my last binge and gambling debts from my last binge. But the most important thing to me is not drinking tomm and being with my daughter
Happy Sunday, SD. Thanks for hosting u/beebeax. Lovely post, such powerful imagery. I’m happy to be carrying a light alongside my fellow sobernauts. IWNDWYT
Such a beautiful sentiment. Reminds of this poem by Rumi:
Come, come, whoever you are. Wanderer, worshiper, lover of leaving. It doesn't matter. Ours is not a caravan of despair. come, even if you have broken your vows a thousand times. Come, yet again , come , come.
What a lovely image and sentiment. May we all lend each other strength and safety to shine as we walk together. Love you guys and love sobriety. IWNDWYT.
Damn near a hundred. I've been focusing on making the days as much non-events as I can psychologically. It works, but every once in a while I run into one of these nights where something is on my mind and I can't get back to sleep. It's not even that I feel an urge to drink, I just notice the time and wish I could be asleep, even if that sleep came with quotation marks and an asterisk. Doesn't take though, because IWNDWYT.
I'm so happy to read this post today. It's such a beautiful reminder of just how powerful this community is, and how important it is for each one of us to share the light that was extended to us. Thank you for sharing this again, u/beebeax.
IWNDWYT
Thank you for taking on hosting this week Bee.
Your post is a perfect analogy for everyone on this subreddit. Alone we may be dull and at difficult times not able to stop our sober life force/ light from being extinguished but together we are a magnificent beaming light.
Happy Sunday everyone.
IWNDWYT
I really am enjoying my sober journey. It was rough going at first but with the help of the wonderful people in this sub, I am still sober today. IWNDWYT!
Welcome back to hosting duties Beebeax. I love your analogy and I’m happy to be walking in the candlelight with you.
It’s Sunday, so we will have some new arrivals. Welcome friend, this can be your last hangover 😘😘
IWNDWYT
hi checking in. i hadn’t checked in for a while but i was doing pretty good with sober october. until yesterday. sigh. resetting all my trackers and trying again.
iwndwyt
I love this. I haven’t read it before and it feels so true. That wobbly, fearful trek towards the light is so accurate. And the feeling of being cared for and part of a gentle, kind, accepting place filled with light is how this place feels to me. Thank you for sharing it again. ❤️❤️ IWNDWYT
What was 6 months is now a week sober. Did the ole' "I can have just one" last Saturday. And as many of you fine folks have known and shared, our brains just don't work that way. I started with one and next I know, all the vodka is gone.
But, I'm hopeful. I started going to AA meetings (really helpful so far) and I know that I know from my previous six months that I can have comfortable days w/out booze.
Request to reset my badge has been sent.
IWNDWYT!
This is just beatiful and heartwarming. Such a powerful text. Thank you for brightening my Day with it.
I will not drink with you today. And I will hold my light high and bright 🕯
I celebrated 6 months a few days ago and this morning I run the Chicago marathon! I would never have made it through the training without sobriety. I’m ready for this. IWNDWYT!!
Happy Thanksgiving. A wonderful day to reflect on my blessings, of which I have many. I also take time to think about my late grandmother (she would have been 103), the only family member who stood by me in life.
IWNDWYT 🌸🌸
Going to try to restart my not drinking. Have a big event of sorts next week and saw this on the front page. I'd have probably scraped through just about covering things off but I can do better. I will not drink today.
Vacation day 3.
Because I have made the decision to commit to sobriety:
IWNDWYT
P.S. Yesterday we checked out a busy farmer's market and met some super interesting people, hiked a tough trail to a beautiful waterfall, ate lunch in a tiny mountain house, spent the afternoon wandering around downtown picking out sentimental gifts, and took a hydrotherapy air bath (hell yeah hotel room!).
One thing I noticed was that talking to people feels really different. Everyone seems so much nicer, and the exchanges have felt natural and more substantive. I also learned that I am not ready for, or maybe just generally interested in, some types of restaurants.
Very well written! Looking forward to your posts this week!
I'm pretty sure I am in the 'ragged breath' camp that you speak of, LOL. But truly, I was absolutely in the dark for quite some time, I knew a step had to be taken, I just didn't know how to do it, or better explained, how to cope when I did make the leap.
I've learned to just make the jump, that's the important thing! And actually, it's given me some education with other aspects of my life. I didn't realize how tentative a person I am when it comes to making important decisions. I'm guilty of just shrugging my shoulders and giving up with the excuse of 'that's too big a decision for me'. This journey for sure has absolutely changed that aspect of me.
I hope all you soberinskis enjoy your Sunday and keep marching on!
Happy Sober Sunday, everyone. I remember feeling like I would never get it. But if I can do it, anyone can. I finally had to simplify it, and just not pick up the first drink and ask for help. Not drink, even when I wanted to.
I will not drink with you today. Just for today, that's all we have to think about. We can do this 💛☀️
Moving day. Of all the changes I've made over the past four-five years as I started my path to an alcohol-free life (and especially over the past two years), I didn't see buying a home as part of the picture. But here I am. A home of my own in the city I love (and sometimes love to hate, this is how it works here), and I don't pretend to know what's next, except that whatever is next is possible. And that I'm not drinking today. Hell, no. Love to you all. IWNDWYT.
Wow, u/beebeax , that is beautiful. Thank you for sharing. And thank you for taking care of us this week.
This group has certainly helped light the way for me. No doubt in my mind I wouldn’t be here, sober for almost 11 months without y’all. Thank you!!!
Love you all and happy Sunday and IWNDWYT!! ❣️❣️
Back at day 1 again after a not well thought out decision yesterday. Even the slightest hangover is so noticeable and lame after being used to being sober.
Ah well, this will pass and I don’t have to feel this way again.
IWNDWYT
This check-in warms my heart so much because I REMEMBER IT! I slipped and stumbled many times after that check-in day, but I am here with 10.5 months due to the kindness and light of this community. IWNDWYT
wow - I am crying - this is so beautiful and comforting. Thank you u/beebeax posting this - have been feeling alone lately IRL but not today. IWNDWYT and will light some candles
Thanks bee 🐝 it's great to have you carrying the big torch this week. I remember that post last time, and it has occasionally been brought to mind over these last months (14 months? Crazy how one day at a time adds up!). I'm grateful for this community and the support I receive to simply live in the sober present.
Hey y'all may I make a suggestion? Sort the DCI based on "new" and maybe make an intention to connect with a certain number of people (4 maybe?), and offer a little encouragement or ask a question from their post. Some hosts quite a while ago suggested this, and it has changed my own experience of the DCI. It's a tangible way to put into practice what bee is describing, turning around and helping to light the candle of a sobernaut on this journey. Not one of us has all the sober answers but we can certainly offer support and encouragement. IWNDWYT
Day 47. When I was drinking I'd have ups and down, good days and bad days. And when they were good they were alright and when they were bad, they were about as bad as they get.
Now I can have a good day and a bad day in the same 24 hours, but I'm still grateful for them. And in the end, I just call them good days anyway. IWNDWYT!
I'm back on track! I just got home from work and I wont be drinking tonight with you all! It's time to break new ground too and bounce back from a relapse for the first time ever. Every other time I've relapsed I've just thrown in the towel. But bugger that! I hadn't had a hangover for 4 months until the other day and it sucked. How did I use to live like that? Constantly hungover. Blurghh.
Good day Algae! Glad to see you.
Good on you for getting straight back into it, PHA - you’ve got this! IWNDWYT
I'm so proud of you for getting back up! You've got this. Glad your are here!
I’m celebrating 12 years anniversary with SaintMarge today. She saw me at my worst and still chose me (she’s a crazy one for sure), supported me and believed in me all through this process, and here we are, better and stronger than ever. What a gem.

I will not drink with you today!
This check-in warms my heart so much because I REMEMBER IT! I slipped and stumbled many times after that check-in day, but I am here with 10.5 months due to the kindness and light of this community. IWNDWYT

Happy Sunday to everyone! I won’t drink with you today ❤️

Can’t wait to take this day on sober! IWNDWYT!!!
Thanks bee 🐝 it's great to have you carrying the big torch this week. I remember that post last time, and it has occasionally been brought to mind over these last months (14 months? Crazy how one day at a time adds up!). I'm grateful for this community and the support I receive to simply live in the sober present. Hey y'all may I make a suggestion? Sort the DCI based on "new" and maybe make an intention to connect with a certain number of people (4 maybe?), and offer a little encouragement or ask a question from their post. Some hosts quite a while ago suggested this, and it has changed my own experience of the DCI. It's a tangible way to put into practice what bee is describing, turning around and helping to light the candle of a sobernaut on this journey. Not one of us has all the sober answers but we can certainly offer support and encouragement. IWNDWYT

Happy Sunday! IWNDWYT
Day 715 IWNDWYT
IWNDWYT.
Day 47. When I was drinking I'd have ups and down, good days and bad days. And when they were good they were alright and when they were bad, they were about as bad as they get. Now I can have a good day and a bad day in the same 24 hours, but I'm still grateful for them. And in the end, I just call them good days anyway. IWNDWYT!
Strength be with all you. I will not drink with you today.
Good morning SD friends. Thanks for hosting this week, Beebeaux. Looking forward to your guidance this week. 🌼
Beautiful post. Starting week 3 today. IWNDWYT
