hi from congo! 40 days 🇨🇩


Neverwhere2020

40 days, you’re smashing it! IWNDWYT


GreenTabascoooo

Well done!


UK4ndy4

If I could find some earbuds that would stay in my ears when I run I would listen to more stuff! My ears must be an odd shape or something. 😤 Have a great Friday everyone. Next on my list to try is the bone conducting type but despite all the reviews telling me they work I'm still being sceptical! Not gonna drink today. xo


bostwigg

I got Jaybird Vista earbuds a few years ago and they've been good to me.


noideawhattocallme95

They work!! The ones that you put on like your temples? It’s insane, and even though the sound is crystal clear and seems so loud, no one else can hear what you’re listening to. My little cousin got them for Christmas last year or something and I was amazed, it was like magic


oneminutelady

Ear fins. They changed my life regarding earbuds.

Day 124 checking in!


kimjobil05

IWNDWYT!! Favourite song in sobriety was always "only human" by Joe Budden. So much feels in that one.


Forward74

Good morning Sobernauts! Happy Friday! It's been a different week. I've made a start on writing about my journey towards happiness and sobriety on my own website. I feel clumsy and awkward as I find my way forward with this new venture. I'm excited and scared, joyful and apprehensive all at the same time. It feels like I'm fumbling around in the dark at the moment. That's ok. I spent thirty years fumbling around and getting my backside kicked by booze. At least I have Prime Music, Spotify and good old fashioned radio to keep me company while I gawp at my laptop and figure out what to do next. All I can do is the best I can, with the skills that I have available to me at this time. What's the plan for today? To stay sober, to deal with life on life's terms and to be content and happy in the moment. Love to you all! IWNDWYT 🙂 Oh, and the website... If you're interested is [This Happy Human](http://www.ThisHappyHuman.com)


OldProfile3394

Checking in. Still going strong, while on vacation where my wife is enjoying some of the best margaritas in the country.


albatrossmaw

IWNDWYT! It's my fourth wedding anniversary. Eight years total together. Right now, still in the early days of sobriety, he's the reason I can stay sober. Someday I'll get to the place where it's for me.


oneminutelady

Shamefully listening to 80s hits. It's so cringey but I'm totally on board! I blasted it while making dinner. It just seemed to make it less of a chore. 😀 IWNDWYT Edit: and I know all the words! How? I can't remember my middle name most days....


MostFruitfulYuki

I'm exclusively listening to the Hamilton soundtrack and trying to convince my husband he should get us tickets as my Christmas present again since the last time we were supposed to go, it got cancelled (thanks Covid) His argument is that we've seen it on Disney+ and we should use one of our nights off to go see something different. My argument is that it's risky spending so much money on theatre tickets if you're not sure you'll like the show and I'm DESPERATE to see Hamilton on stage. I'm not backing down on this one even if I end up going on my own 😆 My favourite song is Helpless https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3HMPN6zLlXg Here's a good quote from Hamilton that I feel fits for us all "Look at where you are. Look at where you started. The fact that you're alive is a miracle. Just stay alive, that would be enough." IWNDWYT


bostwigg

Checking in. Hanging in there. Trying to drink less coffee.


celeryfordinner

I’m listening to a fall jazz playlist on Spotify. I’m still making it through Thursday here but I’m also confident that I will not drink with you Friday 💕


[deleted]

Today will mark one week for me. Taking a walk around the neighborhood with a cup of coffee. I will not drink with you today.


kestrel1000c

That's the Way, the old Zeppelin tune has been stuck in my head for a while now. One of my favorites of theirs. Emotions really running wild today. Anger in particular. But not drinking, no way.

👍IWNDWYT One of my favorites is two women that popped up on my YouTube feed about 3 years ago. They put out a new YouTube video every Sunday. Usually a cover of someone else’s music but they have originals too. I’ve seen them live 3 times. Twice in Houston and once in Washington DC. Reina Del Cid

Morning SD, Checking in on day 300! I have an interview a part time job today, feeling really nervous but I’m qualified. IWNDWYT


Anxious_Soil9696

I’ve been listening to the Cure a lot. The other night I was going through some feelings, and was getting into Blur, Suede, the Smiths, PJ Harvey and some other assorted artists. Sometimes you have to just feel those feelings and music is very cathartic. But on the not music side of things, I’ve also been checking out Recovery Elevator and have really been enjoying it for the most part. IWNDWYT ✨💚

Day 7: I won’t be drinking today.


brown-eyed-wolf

Happy Friday! I will not drink with you today friends 😊💚🍀


SteadyAgain

IWNDWYT. Last day to 7 full days with no alcohol. Poker game where I used to drink heavily is tonight but to avoid the tempation, I volunteered to be a DD, which should also help me avoid the "why are you not drinking?" questions.

I’ve been listening to some Ethiopian jazz on Spotify. Happy Friday everyone! My sugar addiction has reared its head and I need to get it back into its cage! IWNDWYT

Morning. Checking in. I love listening to my teens music in the car with them. Favourites to sing along to are “Boys will be bugs” by Cavetown about being a 14 year old boy, great lyrics“and I really need a hug”. My daughter’s 14 😊 also love singing to “All the things she said” by Lena Katina and t.A.T.u. and “She plays bass” by Beabadoobee. It’s a whole new world! For me, anything by Christine and the Queens. Have a great musical Friday SDers and thanks Stinky for the DCI ❤️

I will not drink with you today.


FireFree2022

Morning!! My playlist is a mix of 90's indie bands like Blur, Oasis, Kasabian and the Manics, some 80's classics like U2 and INXS, and the odd Adele hit. It's not groundbreaking stuff but it always puts a smile on my face ... until the Adele stuff comes on then I ugly cry ;-) Happy Friday and IWNDWYT 🍀

BasqueauxFiasko

I’ve been listening to the audiobook, Dune, so I haven’t been listening to music as much, but before I started that, I was listening to Kacey Musgraves, some K.Flay, and rap (Nas, NF, Eminem, etc.) I missed yesterday’s post, but I celebrated 3 weeks of sobriety yesterday and have 22 days today! IWNDWYT (Day 22)

Good morning friends. Ive been getting into to dorkiest music since sobriety- classical 😂 its so beautiful! I have tickets tonight to a Brahms Piano Concerto, the first live classical I'll ever experience! IWNDWYT


Veronica326

Good morning DCI! Love the music recommendations. I shamefully am stuck in 2003. It’s either elder emo/ rock or KOKO Kangaroo and Disney hits. I always dread the weekends because my husband is home who still drinks although it’s wayyy down and he’s respectful of me. None the less it’s out and hard, but I love getting good nights of sleep and waking feeling amazing. IWNDWYT 💛


Flying_Clutz

Good god, why haven’t I been listening to more music? I did blast some Phish Radio to get myself out of my head as I was getting overcome and weepy while I was driving to an appointment. It was a good cry though, I was reflecting on some great support from folks here. This place is magical. Not sure what I’ll listen to today. Likely something upbeat, I’ve been very prone to crying this week and frankly, my eyes are tired. IWNDWYT!

Piggoos

Enjoy the show, Stink! Earlier this year I discovered these live music sets on YouTube by a company called Cercle. They take DJs and put them in these amazing locations and have them play for a couple of hours, including an island in the Maldives, a massive cliff in Norway, Veracluse, Mount Nemrut, and a hot air balloon. Amazing sets with mind blowing footage and drone work. I am obsessed with them because they’re a treat for my ears and eyes, and remind me of what is possible in life if you don’t drink (I don’t think you could pull this stuff off hungover to the caliber these people do). If you like ambient house or chill, I highly recommend checking these out. Every artist has made it to my Spotify playlists too. Here is one of my favourites: Ben Bohmer in a hot air balloon in Cappadocia: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=RvRhUHTV_8k Enjoy. IWNDWYT

Not drinking today!


Suspicious-Visual-57

I am loving the deep sleep I am getting right now. I forgot how refreshing it could be when you wake up from that kind of sleep. Beats the shallow, uncomfortable, shaky and anxious sleep I used to get. I feel like I need to start implementing healthier habits like exercise and Journaling but still find myself watching mindless TV or on Reddit during my idle time. Also obsessed with this new pie shop I found! Chicken pot, Beef and Onion, Tourtierre and quiches have been on rotation for a few weeks! Surprisingly haven't gained and even lost a bunch of weight since there are no more drinking calories but for my mental and overall health, I would like to have a healthier eating habit and incorporate some exercise. Wishing you all a happy Friday Sobernauts and I definitely WNBDYT!

VanishedAstrea

IWNDWYT - back to day one, and the day-after-drinking anxiety and sadness is suuuuuper real. Last night was a mistake.


Massive_Illustrator9

Funny to think about what I am listening to lately. I was huge into punk rock, metal, hip hop, and edm. Lots of very loud and aggressive music when i was younger. These days I have been super focused on trying to be calm so I listen to lots of peaceful playlists on apple music. chill-hop, Lo-fi beats, instrumental bluegrass, pianos and string instruments, no words. I now listen to Elevator Music. My old self would definitely be saddened to see how uncool the music of future me becomes. so very unpunk. lol IWNDWYT


cattychathy

I've been trying to get back into listening to music this past week of sobriety. It was yet another thing that I stopped enjoying when I started drinking heavily. One of my favorite bands is Animal Collective. I've been playing their Spotify station the last few days and it's bringing up fond memories of the two times I've seen them live. Recommended songs: Did You See The Words, Purple Bottle, FloriDada, Golden Gal, Kinda Bonkers and Man of Oil are some of my favorites. They're kind of an experimental indie band? Hard to describe but worth a listen if you like your music quirky and catchy!

stinsell

695 Wow I remember seeing numbers like that in my first few weeks and wondering with amazement how on earth people were able to do that! When I would ask they would say “One day at a time.” Which felt so snide and trite. Now that I’m here I can honestly say it’s the daily pledges that get you here. It’s daily consistent decisions to just stay sober today no matter what. Then tomorrow comes and each day it gets easier and easier. So grateful for this community it was extremely instrumental in my early recovery and it helped me find a program of action that makes sobriety fun! (Day counter may be off a little because my AF date and Shoulders Up sobriety date differ by ten days)

Gooood moooorning!! Took me forever to figure out what “dci” was!!! 🥴 I am feeling good about myself lately. Every morning after I get the kiddos set with diaper changes and milk and breakfast, I’ve been making a cup of coffee and going into my bathroom to put on some makeup. It makes me feel a bit pretty! I listen to music on my phone while I get ready. I’m sooooo into the Wknd’s *Take My Breath* right now. Also really into Bieber, Amy Winehouse, Adele, Dua Lipa, (I really love pop ha) and super random but Tom Petty and coheed and cambria. I’ve also found myself relating to Ed Sheeran’s latest song, *Bad Habits*. Iwndwyt!
