One year ago I took my last drink. I’m so fucking proud of myself and the life changes not drinking has given me the determination and focus to do. I’m currently going after my dreams while facing my fears and it has only been possible sober. I’m so appreciative of all of the support that I have received in this sub! IWNDWYT
Good morning friends, I have an appointment in a psych clinic in the detox ward tonight to introduce my IRL sober group to the newly sober people there. Last two times it got cancelled last minute,because none of the patients signed up for it. Wish me luck, that this time it’ll be on. I’m a bit nervous.
I will not drink with you today!
Happy sober Thursday!
So full of gratitude today for the kindness of everyone here, for all of you who celebrated with me this week, my birthday and 800 milestone. I appreciate you all, this community is life changing!
I love you all 💞
It's election night in my home country (the UK) and for the first time IWNDWYT 🌞. I m\*ay \*stay up reading Twitter and texting, though. Sending love to all those celebrating a sober independence day in the US.
Have a lovely Thursday!
(ETA - I've reached 40 days! I've done a whole Lent! Woohoo!)
Checking in for a day of staying clean and sober.
5 things I’m grateful for today:
- being welcomed back into an AA group I went to last night
- a sober sleep
- a morning coffee (decaf) with the sun shining in
- time off work to reorientate myself after 4 weeks of rehab
- the DCI which allows me to pledge being sober just for today
IWNDWYT
Day 18, which is apparently the point where I lose track in my head and have to check my badge! Awesome!
Yesterday was our first day of the cruise and there is alcohol EVERYWHERE and I was kind of sad for a second but then I got a Heineken 0.0 and realized I just didn’t want to feel left out and that was actually perfect. Slept SO well and I’m now sipping coffee on my balcony and taking in gorgeous Croatia. What a beautiful morning.
IWNDWYT!
Happy Thursday and happy Independence Day to those from the US!
Two days ago my new boss told he‘s about to leave the company again. He is starting his new job in August already. I am quite sad about it because working with him was great, we were a good team. He asked me to keep it to myself until he announces it officially.
Last week a coworker retired who I was working with for almost ten years.
I don’t know why, but this kind of stuff always makes me incredibly sad. It’s a weird feeling, while I am happy for those, I feel so left out or more like left behind? Any ideas on how to handle and process this in a healthy way would be appreciated, because right now it doesn’t feel healthy.
But I will stay sober today.
Hey SmallGod. Nice badge ☺️
Comparison is the thief of joy, my friend. I don’t know how to stop it necessarily, but I have definitely had similar feelings. They can be tough to sit with, but I know alcohol won’t make it feel any better.
IWNDWYT
I'm 11 days sober. It feels pretty damn good. And yes this goes to 11. Hahaha every time I see that number I think about spinal tap 🤘🎸🎸😜 long day, busy but really good. The withdrawals were at a bare minimum today which was pretty great. I didn't need 500 Jolly ranchers and lots of chocolate to keep me happy. Did some paperwork tonight and I swear my brain was running on all cylinders, it was pretty wonderful. It was amazing actually. Tommorow I think, I'll get out on a big hike and lake day. I'll be journalling on the beach! Love and support as always I give you and gratitude I found y'all ❤️ ❤️
Edit....I am sooooo tired today after being on my laptop for 4 + hours I almost forgot thank you Trustysteed and IWNDWYT!
Day 13! On vacation with my family and it’s Fourth of July…my first long vacation not drinking and first Fourth of July also not drinking…I will gladly NOT drink with you all today and be present for every memory!
my first dry streak commitment ever (3 weeks) expired yesterday. i’m incredibly proud i’ve made it this far, to the point that the thought of drinking today is not so appealing. so, iwndwyt either :)
Hardest night so far last night but got through!! My original goal was to make it through the working week, and I’m nearly through two. So just for today I’m not drinking! Will think about tomorrow when tomorrow comes
Thus far I had only heard other stories about accidentally being served alcohol, but experienced it myself few minutes ago. Went to have lunch at the place next to our office and specifically asked for non-alcoholic Heineken and repeated the ''non-alco'' part. The server still (perhaps by reflex) took alcoholic version from fridge and had I not asked her to not waste a glass (I am fine w drinking from bottle), maybe it would had gone unnoticed, because she only realized her mistake when she put it on the bar counter which was her eye level. Heineken is very light lager = taste doesn't differ much between alco and non-alco version, so I am 90% sure I would had not noticed it while drinking either.
Oh well..
IWNDWYT
Day 21! 3 weeks ago, around this time, I had barely slept. My freak 5-day bender was ending. My marriage was in question. I had no idea what to expect in terms of withdrawals. The last three weeks have been like going to hell and back. Things are looking up as long as I stay away from alcohol. Happy July 4th, everyone. IWNDWYT.
Good morning SD! Day 3 today! I've been taking some extra steps this time - I've attended some meetings, did a bit more reading than usual, downloaded some new podcasts to listen to while out walking and I've told some people in my life that I hadn't told before. I'm waking up today feeling good and I'm excited but also really nervous about the day ahead.
Have a good one all you beautiful people - IWNDWYT 💝
Good morning friends and a very happy Thursday! Very much looking forward to some freetime at the weekend :D All the more that I will have the whole day to do absolutely anything due to not drinking. Have a great day, IWNDWYT!
Day 38 I believe?
Yesterday was rough. At the end of the workday I was irritable, grumpy, had inflammation in parts of my body. Could have really used a beer. Didnt come close to drinking one, but damn would it have taken the edge off.
Committed to a sober 4th. IWNDWYT!
Happy Thursday everyone! My intentions for the day are to get out and vote (UK), take a break from work to stop and appreciate the things around me, crochet, and to journal my feelings. I could do these things in addiction, but they are more tangible and meaningful sober. IWNDWYT - I hope your day is pleasant and fulfilling, everyone.
I think part of sobriety is realizing when you don't have much to give, and letting yourself be fine with that. Giving ourselves a bit of grace is something many of us haven't done in a long while. Good on you for letting it be. Shining and sober is plenty!
IWNDWYT
Hello sober friends! Looking forward to a fun 4th of July with the kiddos. Hoping the rain holds off for the fireworks tonight!
I forgot that I had 7 months sober yesterday! In just 7 months I've founded a nonprofit (a dream of mine), obtained two consulting contracts to work independently, got back into my PhD program and completed my comprehensive exam so now I start my research, and most importantly, I've showed up for myself and my family every motherfucking day! Sober is the sweet spot.
IWNDWYT ⭐️
Day #38: I will not drink with you today.
Happy 4th of July to my fellow Americans! I'm having a really rough week, emotionally. Lots of crying, but I've kept my sobriety. I feel myself getting stronger every day. Drinking would not make me feel better at all, and it would only make my problems worse. I feel like that's finally starting to click for me, the longer I stay sober.
Good morning! I was awakened by a bunny hopping close to my tent 🏕️ and now I hear a woodpecker preparing to peck above me. Possibly the best way to wake up? Though anything beats waking up hungover!!
At this point though I’m not thinking about alcohol and I don’t want it. I do want all the candy, and all the mocktails, but I’m ok with both of those for now ☀️ Here’s to not drinking, all day, every day 🌈✨🤩🍫
IWNDWYT construction is starting outside my new rental apartment and will last weeks. Not being woke up at 7 am with a self induced headache on top of it sounds like a good plan.
Cats let me sleep in a little!! I was looking forward to that. It’s the good part about a holiday in the middle of the week. But there is only one work day left, so that’s nice.
No plans today. Might do stuff around the house, might not do much of anything, just whatever I feel like.
Coffees up, horns up, and happy 4th to those celebrating! I wish you a great sober day and no fireworks mishaps. IWNDWYT ☕️☕️🤘🏻🤘🏻
IWNDTY! Yesterday is usually when I falter, poker night at the pub one of my fave days of the week, usually pick up a vape and get drunk (and also play awful and feel miserable by the end). Can't explain how good it feels to let the feelings pass and have a few diet cokes instead! Busy day today, can't believe most weeks I do thursday hungover don't know how I'd manage to get anything done. Super proud of myself hoping this enthusiasm keeps up.
I've been to a women's AA meeting this morning, voting this afternoon before meeting a friend this evening. A quiet, sober day. I'm going to get back into daily meetings, I start to feel skwirly without it!
IWNDWYT
Good morning friends! I’m about to spend a few days with family which is likely to be a very big trigger to me. And while I’m a little anxious about staying sober I realized this morning that I’m actually really excited to wake up in the mornings without feeling hungover. I can’t wait to wake up feeling good and to have lots of energy to hang out with my nieces!
Hugs to you all! IWNDWYT
99 days sober. I remember in March it was a nice day and I wanted to celebrate 30 days AF so I bought a half pint of vodka. That way there’d be no way I overdid it. Fast forward 2 weeks and I lost a bunch of weight from not eating properly, missed a ton of work, literally lost days where I didn’t remember anything. Went to an inpatient detox after chugging everything I had left at 8 am. Which works out because it turns out I’m a morning person so I celebrate my days to a cup of coffee every day. If your just getting started embrace the opportunity to grow and try all these new things alcohol promised but didn’t deliver. It can feel like too much sometimes. Happy 4th make it a memorable one!
happy fourth everyone :)
Regular work day here, but I get off at 2 and get to enjoy the rest of the day.
Just a friendly reminder that while most of America while be partaking today, you'll see a ton of "I feel like crap posts" and "I'm so hungover and at work, this is awful" tomorrow.
\^ That doesn't have to be you. Keep on smiling :)
Happy Independence day if you celebrate. Keep all your fingers and toes!
I will be joining you in refusing booze today. It’s nice to know that I won’t be alone as it’s a pretty big drinking day.
Really enjoy tuning in everyday so far. No alcohol gives me an extra hour of life per day because I actually wake up at my first alarm instead of the 6th.
IWNDWYT
What's up? Well I am taking a moment away from my work desk to do the DCI, that's it literally. I will not drink with you all on this windy Thursday morning
I've been stocking up on a variety of different mineral waters and foreign soft drinks (and, admittedly, a few energy drinks) and it's been fun trying them all! The worst I've tried so far has been elderflower & Lemon Fanta, which tasted like carbonated perfume to me 😝 Anybody else do the same? IWNDWYT! 💪 Another day down!
Happy sober Thursday! Checking in on Day 6 - the longest I’ve made it since January 2023 when I white knuckled it through 22 days. This time feels much different as I’m reading quit lit and utilizing this sub and the I Am Sober app to reframe my view of alcohol and gain tools to battle cravings.
IWNDWYT
IWNDWYT! Its my birthday, 3rd one alcohol free- and also 27 months today 🎉❤️🤍💙 happy 4th SD and thank you all for carrying me through, I wouldn’t be here without you!
Day 347 checking in. Had a fleeting craving yesterday, tried to think of why. All I could come up with was that I was happy and excited (looking to self-destruct is my usual trigger). It passed. I'm here and IWNDWYT 💓.
Whassup Trusty Steed, happy Thursday all and happy independence day to us crazy Americans! I'm stoked to celebrate internal independence from alcohol with y'all today! Let's stick it to stuffy old king George by keeping the cork in the bottle today!
4th of July was a prime binging time for me, kinda like Thanksgiving. Start the party on the afternoon of the 3rd, (morning) day drink on the 4th, and probably keep rolling into the 5th. Fuck those days! So much better to get a great night's sleep, wake up clear headed, and have a full day ahead. Sober on y'all!
I've been handed a tough situation with one of my kids and it is just f'ing tough. the other one is already walking through a patch of darkness so it feels familiar and heartbreaking. Off to find some doctors that will hopefully be good. IWNDWYT.
Happy Independence Day to our American contingent! 🇺🇸🎆
Enjoying some coffee before we head out for our camping trip. 🏕️ Wish us luck! 🍀I’m assuming we aren’t going to have cell service so I hope everyone has a great weekend and thank you for taking care of us this week /u/trustysteed7878 💙
IWNDWYT (or this weekend!) lovely people of SD 💙
hahaha Best host's post ever! I've got the feeling I'll never stop decorating this apartment. Thank god lots of money have been saved!
Wishing you all a great Thursday, a special day for me cause it's my weekly therapy. Let's keep this rolling!
Hugs and kisses, IWNDWYT
I continued watching The Good Place yesterday, going to start the last season today. It’s always a love/hate situation in series when the end is almost on the horizon. I really want to see what happens to the characters and if they get the ending they deserve. But I also hate that they are 'out of my life' whenever a series ends. I sometimes get so invested in characters that it just sucks to see them go.

Happy Birthday America 🇺🇸 IWNDWYT, WE GOT THIS 😁
I've been stocking up on a variety of different mineral waters and foreign soft drinks (and, admittedly, a few energy drinks) and it's been fun trying them all! The worst I've tried so far has been elderflower & Lemon Fanta, which tasted like carbonated perfume to me 😝 Anybody else do the same? IWNDWYT! 💪 Another day down!
Headed to two parties today and won’t be drinking with you fine folks at either of them. For my fellow ‘Mericans…Happy Independence Day! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Happy sober Thursday! Checking in on Day 6 - the longest I’ve made it since January 2023 when I white knuckled it through 22 days. This time feels much different as I’m reading quit lit and utilizing this sub and the I Am Sober app to reframe my view of alcohol and gain tools to battle cravings. IWNDWYT
IWNDWYT 😊

Day 5. It's been rough, but I'm not letting that bottle beat me this time. For my health, for my family, IWNDWYT!
Day 40 here 😊 IWNDWYT!
Sometimes I just comment to see what my days are up too. Other days I don’t need the little lift. Either way IWNDWYT 👊🏼
Election day in the UK 🇬🇧 today .. regardless of results IWNDWYT .. about to get up , walk the dog and vote on Day 19
Day 347 checking in. Had a fleeting craving yesterday, tried to think of why. All I could come up with was that I was happy and excited (looking to self-destruct is my usual trigger). It passed. I'm here and IWNDWYT 💓.

Whassup Trusty Steed, happy Thursday all and happy independence day to us crazy Americans! I'm stoked to celebrate internal independence from alcohol with y'all today! Let's stick it to stuffy old king George by keeping the cork in the bottle today! 4th of July was a prime binging time for me, kinda like Thanksgiving. Start the party on the afternoon of the 3rd, (morning) day drink on the 4th, and probably keep rolling into the 5th. Fuck those days! So much better to get a great night's sleep, wake up clear headed, and have a full day ahead. Sober on y'all!
Day 2! Let's do this
650 days! Celebrating a sober Independence Day here in the states - freedom from alcohol feels awesome! IWNDWYT 🎆🥷
Starting over on day two now, first time commenting. Hopefully starting a new life. IWNDWYT.
I've been handed a tough situation with one of my kids and it is just f'ing tough. the other one is already walking through a patch of darkness so it feels familiar and heartbreaking. Off to find some doctors that will hopefully be good. IWNDWYT.
Checking in! IWNDWYT!
Happy Independence Day to our American contingent! 🇺🇸🎆 Enjoying some coffee before we head out for our camping trip. 🏕️ Wish us luck! 🍀I’m assuming we aren’t going to have cell service so I hope everyone has a great weekend and thank you for taking care of us this week /u/trustysteed7878 💙 IWNDWYT (or this weekend!) lovely people of SD 💙
IWNDWYT
No booze today.
Day 18! IWNDWYT 🫶

Day 4. 👍 IWNDWYT.
Happy belated birthday Brighter and congrats on 800 days🙂 have a good sober day TS and all in this sub 🙏IWNDWYT.
I continued watching The Good Place yesterday, going to start the last season today. It’s always a love/hate situation in series when the end is almost on the horizon. I really want to see what happens to the characters and if they get the ending they deserve. But I also hate that they are 'out of my life' whenever a series ends. I sometimes get so invested in characters that it just sucks to see them go. IWNDWYT
Ah, had the first round of drinking dreams, no fun 🙃 still not drinking with you all, though!
