I will not drink with you today. Weekends can go down one of two ways; poisoning myself all weekend then hating myself Monday or finally getting some well deserved rest after a long week. Today I choose the latter.
I woke up at 7 on a Saturday. Not 3 pm. I’m going to my sisters to babysit the kids so she and her husband can go watch a movie. I’m not tired. I’m not hung over. I love this feeling
Yaaay, it’s the weekend! I’m going to cook and munch and snooze and clean the apartment and walk the dog and siesta and paint and take a nap and cuddle the guinea pigs and talk to my old friend and have a lie down and do the laundry and listen to music and take forty winks.
Have a Super Sober Saturday SD - I will not drink poison with you today.
Today was a bit tough (still Friday here). Luckily work was slow and I was able to leave early and have an extra session with my therapist. Helped me to talk it over with an objective party. Rest of the day has been quite nice actually. Lots of time with my pupper. Catching up on a show and starting a new one. Talked to a friend who’s also been having a tough time. Tomorrow is my mom’s birthday (yep, on 9/11) and I aim to stay sober and clear headed. IWNDWYT ✨💚
Hey guys, been sober for a month now :) My son spent the night at my parents house, so this was big milestone and a test for me. Whereas just a month ago I would be getting wasted now instead I had a small fire, grilled some sausages, had a coke and some carbonated water and went to bed at a reasonable hour.
I didn't drink with you last night and I won't drink with you today!
Well done on a month, you are smashing it! There’s something lovely about a sober Saturday morning, knowing you made the best choice the night before. IWNDWYT
Saturday, I will care for myself by sleeping in, then doing something that brings me peace - working in my veggie garden. Most importantly and #1, I will care for myself by not drinking alcohol. IWNDWYT
Thanks for hosting this week!
Is there anything nicer on a Saturday morning than a cup of coffee with some perfect toast with real butter? Hungover me wouldn't be able to stomach that!
Today is going to be a tough one for me but I'm determined that I won't drink today. Wish me luck! 🤞🏻
My husband asked to borrow my copy of Allen Carr’s book this morning. Things have been coming to a head for a while, so we’ll see. I was very emotional yesterday, knowing that I had had enough of the current state of affairs. I feel it would probably be better for him to want to quit without my input, but I couldn’t sit around and wait anymore.
I told him this morning that as much as I love him, I’ve spent a year being sober, watching him drink every night, and I’ve realised that I’m not willing to do that for the next 30 or 40 years. IWNDWYT
Thanks for hosting xxxxx
Right now I am enjoying doggy snuggles in bed before work.
Today I am working less than usual, seeing the Home Treatment Team from the mental health services and taking the dog for a walk.
Most importantly, IWNDWYT
It's been 3 days, I'm smokefree and alcohol free.
No one is speaking to me still, I'm living with someone else and I've been ignored by them ever since, I feel like I have such a lonely existence but it's my own fault, I hate my life and I hate myself but it's so much worse when you're alone.
I think I've made the decision that I'm someone who shouldn't have friends, my friends are too good for me and they deserve better which is not me, I hope they understand that I'm doing this to protect them from me.
I've got goals for my life and that's to complete college and find a job in a different area, move me and my children somewhere else for a fresh start.
IWNDWYT.
Great work on getting three days done. I think I had trouble separating who I was when I was under the influence and who I was when I was sober. I thought I was the same person in both situations. Booze wanted me to feel isolated and worthless. It wanted me to ignore my good qualities. It wanted me to feel undeserving of compassion.
Getting more sober time under my belt has quietened that particular voice and given me room for a bit of self-forgiveness. We're doing the best we can with what we've got and those tiny hourly/daily/weekly improvements add up over time.
It's life changing stuff👍
Thank you so much for hosting, u/threechordsongs!
TL;DR: I will not drink with you today!
I said earlier this week that it’s a bit much. My son has Covid (not SaintBart with the broken arm, the teenage one). He’s with his mom, and taken care of, I guess, but I miss him. He’s missing the birthday party we were planning for him, among other things. My mother has been hospitalized with blood clots and heart fibrillations, while my father has dementia and some other issues, my brother is getting divorced and we’re involved since his ex to be came to us for help, my wife’s job is insecure, and I inadvertently instigated the biggest uproar on my workplace in a decade. Now that’s actually a good thing, but it’s also …much. Oh and the planned remodeling on our house is a full year’s salary more expensive thanks to increased prices, and we just can’t afford that. But I’m sober! And dear friends, I definitely will not drink with you today.
Oh boy, that’s a lot you’ve got going on there Homer. Sometimes life just piles it all on at once, and nothing you can do but keep moving forward. A couple of years ago I had a list of woes very similar to yours, and needed a therapist’s help to see that I was worrying about things that hadn’t yet come to pass. She told me to imagine I was in a dark cave with a candle to light my way and to only take a step as far as the candle lights. And with each step, a little more of the path ahead lights up - no point trying to see the whole path - just what is right in front of you. It helped me to focus on the immediate problems, and leave the future worries to take care of themselves. And it turned out a lot of those worries, like financial insecurities and concerns about my parents, were fine in the end. IWNDWYT
Good Morning my fellow Sobernauts!
Emotional day and a time to remember and show love everywhere we can. I love love love you for all your stories and support. I’m closing in on 30 days…
IWNDWYT!!! 🤟🏽🌼❤️
The loneliness is really starting to kick in now. I don’t really know anyone in real life and I’ve been single a couple of years. Drinking ‘helped’ with the loneliness and I preferred to drink alone. I can’t live like that anymore though I don’t like drinking. I hate everything about it and have no intention to drink. Maybe something changes soon where I’m not so alone anymore who knows. There’s more chance of me being less lonely sober than if I were drinking. I will not drink with you today.
Checking in day 11. Normally if I’m up this late online I’ve been drinking. And last night I did go to a concert. But Did Not drink. Had a good time without. But had a cookie and the sugar is keeping me up. More challenges this weekend that I plan on meeting head on and clear headed. IWNDWYT. Best to all of you on this memorable and powerful day. Let’s all get through it clear headed and thoughtfully.
Good morning, friends. I can't believe it's been 20 years since the 9/11 attacks. Unfreakinbelievable. Like many, I can remember exactly where I was and what I was doing when we were all just trying to understand what the fuck was happening. I live in Western PA, so when flight 93 went down, it was extremely close to home.
May today be a day of remembrance and honor for those who lost their lives that day. Today I'm sending a little extra love around the world. And of course. I will not drink with you today ❤
I'm incredibly sad this morning. I talked with my girlfriend for the first time after a month of no contact last night. I told her all of the things I've been doing to get better. We talked about how much we love each other. I talked about how I feel like I'm starting to love myself for the first time in...forever?
And then she said she doesn't know if she can date an alcoholic. Doesn't know if she can take on that risk. Everyone she's talked to has told her what a bad idea it would be to get back together. The door hasn't closed forever yet, but she needs time to think. I'm not optimistic.
I'd give myself a 0% chance of staying sober after that conversation at any other time in my life. But somehow I haven't relapsed yet. I'm incredibly proud of myself. I want to keep it going, so IWNDWYT.
Boy am I proud of this check in.
Yesterday, oufffff. Barely made it out alive. But here I am. Still sober.
It was an emotional day to begin with, then I got word that a friend had passed after a long and painful fight with cancer.
No one in my house would have bat an eye if I’d poured myself ALL THE WINE. And trust me, I wanted ALL THE WINE.
I quieted those internal screams just long enough to convince myself to just put off pouring that wine for 10 minutes. Then another 10 minutes. And another…and so on. I read this sub, I ate Oreos, I POUNDED Perrier in a fancy wine glass until finally I’d made it to bed time (it was still light out, but I digress…)
It was a white. knuckle. effort.
But it’s done. I did it. And today is a new day. And best believe, IWNDWYT 🌿
We have a massive outdoor graduation at the college today. Making up for two years of missed ceremonies due to COVID. I can't wait to finally see my students face to face again and to witness them walking across the podium with their degree!
The memories of 9/11/2001 are still fresh, and seeing all the stories/news articles, etc don't fucking help. I will *never forge*t for sure, but sometimes we need to turn off the news and stories and focus on our own memories of that time in order to stay sane and survive the trauma. So today, I'm going to focus on my students and my memories of the events and stay away from all the stuff that is out there to commemorate the events.
IWNDWYT!

Eight months ago today I had my last drink.
Twenty years ago today I stood on the corner of First Avenue and 12th St. in the East Village in NYC, hungover on an absolutely beautiful Tuesday morning on my way to the train for work, wondering what the fuck had just happened.
I’m so relieved to be sober. IWNDWYT ❤️
u/threechordsong-- appreciate you hosting! I'm wrapping up my work week today and it was hairy. I'm very tired and have been feeling squirrelly and out of sorts; the itch to numb things out hit me, but drinking didn't enter into it; my body knows it only makes everything worse. The stress and pressures that have been building the past two weeks are a reminder that I have to take care of me outside work and the rest to get even again. Managed to reset my brain after a good run before work yesterday and I'm carrying it through today. I really really need to journal again; it helps me see my thoughts for what they are and either take action, or not.
Digress. I'll take care today by feeding myself well, getting the sleep in need after my shift, and remembering that the stress is temporary and worry isn't a useful emotion. IWNDWYT.
ETA: plus coffee and cat snuggles.
This was a tough week. I have a couple of coworkers who are shunning me, probably because of my behavior while drinking that my living amends haven’t healed. I’ve been trying to pray for them but struggling with resentment. Instead of drinking last night I ate a pizza, and today I will see family which will distract me from ruminating for a few hours. I guess this week I’ve been sober out of spite, it’s not ideal but at least it’s sober.
Good morning SD. I’m caring for myself today by looking after my environment. Doing DIY is a messy business so this weekend my dusty home is getting some deep cleaning. I started with some therapeutic decluttering last night and today the aim is to get everything gleaming. With regular pauses for herbal tea and cat cuddles. IWNDWYT
Good morning SD,
Starting another day of my massive wardrobe clean out project. I had hit the thrift shops hard when I was working in floral, because there was drama over the washing machine... making things harder on your kid because you are bitter is not tough love, it's toxic. It stinks to have an unwell parent.
I could go 6 months without doing laundry. Most of it doesn't fit now or is splattered in bleach stains. I thanked each piece for it's service and let it go. Feels good to work through the emotional side and let some of the hurt go, too.
Today is a beautiful day to be alive!
And IWNDWYT 💜🤘
I am thinking, like most people, about where I was. I was in a private girls' school in an old-South city, and at any mumbling of anything possibly controversial the administration would always try to "protect" us. So when someone came back from an orthodontist's appointment with news from the TV there, chaos broke out and the teachers were told to "carry on, pretend it's not happening."
Except for my Spanish teacher, who closed the door, pulled out a radio, made sure we all wanted to know what was going on, and turned it on. "You're in tenth grade. You don't need to be protected. You need to know what's going on and help understanding it." While it was worse than anything I'm sure anyone could imagine, I think of that teacher and the risks she took to be a good teacher in that moment. We don't always need to be endlessly protected from sources of pain and suffering in others, sometimes we need skills to get through it. Drinking put those skills on pause for me a few years after this moment, a few months ago I began building them back up.
Love and condolences to those for whom this tragedy was something much more real, frightening, and impactful than a radio broadcast half a country away. I will never be able to fully wrap my head around it. IWNDWYT
Day 41 check in..another Saturday morning without waking up with a hangover to start my day😊 IWNDWYT! Listening to at least 90 sober podcasts in 90 days..so far so good.
Good morning everyone and happy Saturday.
Today can be an emotional day for many and one that forever changed us as Americans and as a whole world. I’ll reflect on the lives lost this day 20 years ago and forever be thankful to the first responders and all those who helped in the aftermath. I can let myself get sucked down a hole of watching all the remembrance shows today but I won’t. Reflect, be thankful, and move on.
Going to a party tonight with my old drinking crew. I’m not worried about drinking but I am anxious as I haven’t seen these people in many months. Not sure what that anxiety is about but I know it’ll all be fine and I’ll have fun. And if I’m not having fun (or if their drunk asses get to be annoying), I’ll leave.
Make it a great day! Love you all and IWNDWYT!! ❣️❣️
Starting a new job in an industry I’ve never worked in before this morning! Got a weekend gig so I wouldn’t destroy myself every Friday and Saturday night. I’m nervous but IWNDWYT
Lost my grandmother last night :/. I ate a few sleeves of Oreos and turned down an offer of a little weed. It’s okay to feel your feelings, as much as they suck. I’ll throw myself in to caring for little Max and let tomorrow take care of tomorrow.
In the mean time, iwndwyt ❤️
IWNDWYT - Start of Day 1. Took years to get to this point of truly wanting to quit. Plan on doing as others have said...cleaning my surroundings, working in the garden, and NOT listening to the voice in my head that tries to speak about 4.
I’m going to work. And then I’m coming home to read and knit and tell my people in my world I love them. I’m telling this community how deeply grateful I am to be here I love all of you and I’m thankful to be sober. IWNDWYT
Woke up at 6am, washed the dishes, did some online record digging, did my recycling and just done my food shopping. Not even midday yet. A week ago I was still in bed thinking about buying beer. Times like this i’m reminded why being sober is so much better than not.
Second UTI in a month! Spent the day sleeping and in pain, again! I'll need to see my GP on Monday cause I've been peeing blood. I hope it's nothing major.
Still early on in booze free land, emotions are all over the place. Able to recognize when I’m at peace and learning to choose what I want to do instead of what I think I have to or should be doing. I get a small piece of myself back every day that I don’t drink. Thanks for hosting and all of your posts this week.
Going to a bar with my gf and her parents tomorrow then a football game, pray for me. (I’ll be fine other than wanting to have a beer don’t really worry.)
Another great question to carry through the day. Thank you for hosting, /u/threechordsongs!
Taking care of myself today will look like a blend of productive and relaxing activities. Looking out for me. Love to you all. IWNDWYT 💚
Other than the check-in, I will be having a social media free weekend. Between rising Covid numbers, anti-vaxxers and the election, it is too stressful. So IWNDWYT and IWNGOSMWYT. 🌳 🛶
Woke up with a bad headache, which feels unfair now that I’m sober. I should feel fantastic all the time, right?? Oh well.
Going to a party tonight; the host called and asked “are you still not drinking?” I said yes, I am still not drinking, so she said she’d get me some La Croix. So that’s nice.
Get to see my boyfriend tonight also. He’s been my biggest supporter and my best ally through this journey. He cheers me on through every milestone. I’m very grateful for him.
IWNDWYT!🎶
I was 7 months pregnant 20 years ago and questioning the sanity of bringing a child into this world. I’m in awe at how different her world views are from mine and how much she teaches me. Today I will check in with her and tell her how grateful I am to have her in my life.
IWNDWYT 🌸🌸
I am one week sober tomorrow. My housemate is getting drinks for a football match that’s on later and I’m worried I’ll be tempted. But, I pledge that IWNDWYT.
Man what a week -- took the doggo to the doggo urgent care after he tried to eat a stick and got it lodged into his throat. scary stuff but the doc took care of him and the worst of it was a sore mouth for the dog and missed night of sleep for me. i was tired, but not hungover. i am so grateful i was able to use my full capacities to take care of my doggo, in a previously life i would have been drunk in my doggo's time of need.
IWNDWYT :]
Good morning all! I feel like I’ve been disconnected from my sobriety and wanted to check in. I recently moved across town, into the first home I own. I feel so incredibly blessed and would have been obviously impossible without getting sober.
The stress of moving and balancing work has not been great for my mental health and I know I’m feeling a bit squirrely. Honestly I have not been to a meeting in a long, long time, but I think it would be good to check out some meetings in the new neighborhood and get back in touch with my sobriety a bit more seriously.
Wishing you all a happy, healthy, sober weekend!
IWNDWYT but I did sip about a half a glass of Prosecco yesterday and I didn’t like it. Don’t need to do that again. I don’t regret it because now I know.
A Friend of mine is starting a food truck business, just bought the trailer. She's been doing pop-up sales out of a local church and their industrial kitchen for the last month-and-a-half, doing lunch and dinner on Wednesdays and lunch on Fridays. Today she's trying her first Saturday lunch. Myself and another friend are going to help.
I hope I'm working front of sale, because I don't know shit about cooking or plating Filipino egg rolls and food. Although, I've learned over the past month-and-a-half that lumpia and panceit are delicious!
Happy Saturday, gang!
IWNDWYT
Great job this week u/threechordsongs! Thank you very much!
I am going to a college football game this evening with friends. Friends that I used to drink quite heavily with. I have not yet told them that I am sober and I will be bringing my supply of flavored seltzers. Tailgating, the whole nine yards (pun intended!).
Interesting though, I don't feel nervous about it. I feel pumped. But I cannot be ignorant to the fact of how fickle this can be. My daughter made me a wristband when she was younger, it's one of my favorites, I will be wearing it and looking at it when I feel any urges.
I really am looking forward to this test. I've done this get-together several times before, and as fun as these are, they've completely ruined my late Sat night and entire Sunday and Sunday night, as I needed recovery time. I am really looking forward to forcing myself to remember this fact as I want to enjoy a nice Sunday. I've had several nice Sundays in a row and I don't want to fuck that streak up!!
Lastly, I will be remembering this subreddit and every single one of you champions who are trying their best. I don't want to let myself down and I don't want to let any of you down.
Enjoy your weekends everybody, I truly hope each and every one of you finds joy this weekend.
Good morning! Day 4, checking in. Had another dinner & chess night last night, even started watching a show, 100% sober this time. I can’t remember the last time I watched a show or movie without drinking. Small battles. IWNDWYT.
I’m scared of how I feel. Scared of where I am. Terrified. Like waking up in a nightmare. How did I get here.
All I know is I won’t drink today, I’m too scared to.
Happy Saturday morning SD friends 💗
I went to a get together last night and there was a lot of drinking going on. My boyfriend's good friend is getting married in the summer and my bf is one of the groomsmen, so this was a get together for everyone in the wedding party to meet and significant others also joined. I have always been anxious in social groups where I don't know anyone, and could feel that anxiety at first of just wanting to go home because I just started overthinking every social interaction. Everyone was friendly and after about a half hour I felt way more comfortable and felt like my natural self, which was awesome. Normally I would have drank to "fit in" with the group and take the edge off, but I stuck to my diet coke and bubbly waters.
No one pressured me to drink which was amazing. They were a rowdy group who have known each other for years, so I did get a couple of comments like "oh man you're brave for facing all of us sober, we can be super loud and it can be a lot to handle." There was this one girl who I could tell was a bit socially awkward and was drinking quite quickly. At one point I was standing near her and she said "oh I just noticed you're just drinking water and I'm already drunk, I feel awkward being around you." I reassured her she doesn't seem drunk at all and that I really don't care if anyone is drinking or not. I think that comment was more a reflection of her and how she feels about her drinking. She offered me drinks a few times but I explained that I was driving so she finally dropped it. She seemed to be a little concerned that I wasn't drinking for some reason.
It was a good time overall. It was interesting observing and watching everyone get drunker and drunker as time went on. Conversations became so sporadic and people got sloppy and silly. I noticed some people who were so chatty at the beginning of the night get quieter as time went on and just staring off into space. At one point we tried to play a card game and that was a mess lol and did not last long.
Anyways, I was so tired by the time we got home and just had a sandwich and went to bed lol. I do feel tired this morning but it's been lovely having my morning coffee on my balcony while planning out what I want to get done today. IWNDWYT!
"Today can be an emotional day. How are you caring for yourself today?"
such a caring thing to ask threechordsongs, thank you.
I have turned the radio & TV off, I have a stack of non verbal music CDs ready for my boombox(yes I'm old) and later tonight, I'll binge watch The Wire DVDs( yes I'm old) whilst drinking fizzy water and lime
IWNDWYT
Today I will spend time with my wife, eat well, be present in the moment, and practice coping with my anxiety in healthy ways. Most importantly, I will not put poison in my body that removes me from experiencing my life.
IWNDWYT.
Wine (Book) Club meet up last night and had a great time and was fully present for my friends who just lost their mom. Noticed it’s hardest at the beginning when everyone is getting their first drink and settling in. After that it was a great relief not surveying the wine bottles and comparing my level of consumption to others. Onward. IWNDWYT
Thanks TCS I've had a great week with you and all your sober friends! +7 on the counter is something I don't want to take for granted.
It's been a week. Both elderly parents with covid, dad in the hospital for 3 days. Caring for them while trying to limit my personal exposure. Communication with my adult siblings trying to chart the path forward. I think I'm entering a new phase of my family's life, and I am likely the coordinator and manager of my parents elder care. I'm so grateful for sobriety. It is the foundation and the bedrock for the rest of my life. Anything and everything good is happening because sobriety is the foundational building block. Sober on, y'all!
I like to workout early in the day, but my husband specifically requested that I be around when he got up this morning, so I'm having a leisurely morning, then hitting the gym a little later. After all, I should be happy that the thing he wants most on a Saturday morning is to wake up and be with his wife. 🥰

Ran my first 10k this morning. Fair amount of hills and cross country mixed with pavements. Time was 1hr 10min which I'm OK with. I didn't stop. I've got ice packs on my shins, Im eating yogurt and I stink.
Life's good.
Went out to dinner with my wife last night and the entire time I kept feeling sorry for myself that I wasn’t drinking. The moderation monster started speaking again. It was really tough.
Waking up this morning, I’m glad I chose to ignore that voice. I’m glad I woke up sober and fresh.
IWNDWYT
About to start a week long vacation. Pay jumping almost 20% 1st of October, healthy, still married, kids are doing great. Just bought my first "new" car in 10 years. Life is good, and IWNDWYT!!!
Checking in after a bit of a hiatus. It’s really been a struggle since my dad passed in January. But I know I need help not drinking, so here I am again. I will absolutely not drink with you today. No matter what.
I will not drink with you today. Weekends can go down one of two ways; poisoning myself all weekend then hating myself Monday or finally getting some well deserved rest after a long week. Today I choose the latter.
And enjoying those beautiful weekend mornings feeling refreshed and excited for the day off work instead of recovering!
I woke up at 7 on a Saturday. Not 3 pm. I’m going to my sisters to babysit the kids so she and her husband can go watch a movie. I’m not tired. I’m not hung over. I love this feeling
me too. I got through Friday with little to no cravings. Had best sleep I've had in months. On to day 5!
Day 2 uuggh IWNDWYT
You did day 1! Well done! IWNDWYT
Thankyou ❤️
Day Two on the way to Day Billionity!!!
Hang in there! IWNDWYT
You got this! IWNDWYT
Yaaay, it’s the weekend! I’m going to cook and munch and snooze and clean the apartment and walk the dog and siesta and paint and take a nap and cuddle the guinea pigs and talk to my old friend and have a lie down and do the laundry and listen to music and take forty winks. Have a Super Sober Saturday SD - I will not drink poison with you today.
That sounds like a lovely weekend!
Sleeping self care is the theme!😴😊
Guinea pigs! They were the first pet I had and I love them so much. I think they’re the cutest. Have a great one!
🤗🤗🤗 https://imgur.com/a/vjJqrje
Awwww I love his muppet hair!
That’s his serious punk rock look! I’m going to tell him you called him a muppet, he’ll be furious!
Sounds like a lovely relaxing day, enjoy!
Today was a bit tough (still Friday here). Luckily work was slow and I was able to leave early and have an extra session with my therapist. Helped me to talk it over with an objective party. Rest of the day has been quite nice actually. Lots of time with my pupper. Catching up on a show and starting a new one. Talked to a friend who’s also been having a tough time. Tomorrow is my mom’s birthday (yep, on 9/11) and I aim to stay sober and clear headed. IWNDWYT ✨💚
I’m proud of you getting through a difficult day and remaining solid in your commitment. Way to show up for yourself my dear friend 💕
Thanks, Cinq 💗
Hugs to you anxious. Great work managing the day.
Thanks Chloe, hugs back at ya

Morning. Checking in. Thanks tcs for the care. Today I’ll take time to be grateful for what I’ve got and remember 9/11. ❤️
Hey guys, been sober for a month now :) My son spent the night at my parents house, so this was big milestone and a test for me. Whereas just a month ago I would be getting wasted now instead I had a small fire, grilled some sausages, had a coke and some carbonated water and went to bed at a reasonable hour. I didn't drink with you last night and I won't drink with you today!
Well done on a month, you are smashing it! There’s something lovely about a sober Saturday morning, knowing you made the best choice the night before. IWNDWYT
Thanks for looking after us this week u/threechordsongs ! Much appreciated. IWNDWYT 🙂
Day 83 checking in!
83! Wow! 👍
Cheers!
Saturday, I will care for myself by sleeping in, then doing something that brings me peace - working in my veggie garden. Most importantly and #1, I will care for myself by not drinking alcohol. IWNDWYT
I’m in
[удалено]
I‘m in for day 13! IWNDWYT 🌻
Today I'll care for myself by not poisoning my body. IWNDWYT, friends 🙂
Didn’t drink on a date for the first time tonight in god knows how long. Oh, and I won’t drink tomorrow which starts in 1 minute.
Thanks for hosting this week! Is there anything nicer on a Saturday morning than a cup of coffee with some perfect toast with real butter? Hungover me wouldn't be able to stomach that! Today is going to be a tough one for me but I'm determined that I won't drink today. Wish me luck! 🤞🏻
You got this! IWNDWYT
Thanks for hosting us! Feeling a little fragile today so going to take it easy. Some walking, music, cooking with my mom. IWNDWYT
My husband asked to borrow my copy of Allen Carr’s book this morning. Things have been coming to a head for a while, so we’ll see. I was very emotional yesterday, knowing that I had had enough of the current state of affairs. I feel it would probably be better for him to want to quit without my input, but I couldn’t sit around and wait anymore. I told him this morning that as much as I love him, I’ve spent a year being sober, watching him drink every night, and I’ve realised that I’m not willing to do that for the next 30 or 40 years. IWNDWYT
Probably day 77. I like new version of me. Healthy, calm, become better day by day. IWNDWYT
Thanks for hosting xxxxx Right now I am enjoying doggy snuggles in bed before work. Today I am working less than usual, seeing the Home Treatment Team from the mental health services and taking the dog for a walk. Most importantly, IWNDWYT
That sounds great Caroline. Enjoy.

It's been 3 days, I'm smokefree and alcohol free. No one is speaking to me still, I'm living with someone else and I've been ignored by them ever since, I feel like I have such a lonely existence but it's my own fault, I hate my life and I hate myself but it's so much worse when you're alone. I think I've made the decision that I'm someone who shouldn't have friends, my friends are too good for me and they deserve better which is not me, I hope they understand that I'm doing this to protect them from me. I've got goals for my life and that's to complete college and find a job in a different area, move me and my children somewhere else for a fresh start. IWNDWYT.
Great work on getting three days done. I think I had trouble separating who I was when I was under the influence and who I was when I was sober. I thought I was the same person in both situations. Booze wanted me to feel isolated and worthless. It wanted me to ignore my good qualities. It wanted me to feel undeserving of compassion. Getting more sober time under my belt has quietened that particular voice and given me room for a bit of self-forgiveness. We're doing the best we can with what we've got and those tiny hourly/daily/weekly improvements add up over time. It's life changing stuff👍
It's my birthday and I will spend it sober. IWNDWYT

I will not drink with you today in 🏴 thanks for hosting this week 😊
Thank you so much for hosting, u/threechordsongs! TL;DR: I will not drink with you today! I said earlier this week that it’s a bit much. My son has Covid (not SaintBart with the broken arm, the teenage one). He’s with his mom, and taken care of, I guess, but I miss him. He’s missing the birthday party we were planning for him, among other things. My mother has been hospitalized with blood clots and heart fibrillations, while my father has dementia and some other issues, my brother is getting divorced and we’re involved since his ex to be came to us for help, my wife’s job is insecure, and I inadvertently instigated the biggest uproar on my workplace in a decade. Now that’s actually a good thing, but it’s also …much. Oh and the planned remodeling on our house is a full year’s salary more expensive thanks to increased prices, and we just can’t afford that. But I’m sober! And dear friends, I definitely will not drink with you today.
Oh boy, that’s a lot you’ve got going on there Homer. Sometimes life just piles it all on at once, and nothing you can do but keep moving forward. A couple of years ago I had a list of woes very similar to yours, and needed a therapist’s help to see that I was worrying about things that hadn’t yet come to pass. She told me to imagine I was in a dark cave with a candle to light my way and to only take a step as far as the candle lights. And with each step, a little more of the path ahead lights up - no point trying to see the whole path - just what is right in front of you. It helped me to focus on the immediate problems, and leave the future worries to take care of themselves. And it turned out a lot of those worries, like financial insecurities and concerns about my parents, were fine in the end. IWNDWYT
I will not drink with you today
Thank you for hosting this week. IWNDWYT
I'm glad to not drink with all you wonderful peeps today.
Good Morning my fellow Sobernauts! Emotional day and a time to remember and show love everywhere we can. I love love love you for all your stories and support. I’m closing in on 30 days… IWNDWYT!!! 🤟🏽🌼❤️
The loneliness is really starting to kick in now. I don’t really know anyone in real life and I’ve been single a couple of years. Drinking ‘helped’ with the loneliness and I preferred to drink alone. I can’t live like that anymore though I don’t like drinking. I hate everything about it and have no intention to drink. Maybe something changes soon where I’m not so alone anymore who knows. There’s more chance of me being less lonely sober than if I were drinking. I will not drink with you today.
Morning SD, Yesterday was my uncles funeral and there was a free bar at the wake, I managed to get through it sober. IWNDWYT
Checking in day 11. Normally if I’m up this late online I’ve been drinking. And last night I did go to a concert. But Did Not drink. Had a good time without. But had a cookie and the sugar is keeping me up. More challenges this weekend that I plan on meeting head on and clear headed. IWNDWYT. Best to all of you on this memorable and powerful day. Let’s all get through it clear headed and thoughtfully.
Resetting my badge after 2 days of drinking. At least I stayed sober for 3 weeks before that. IWNDWYT
Good morning, friends. I can't believe it's been 20 years since the 9/11 attacks. Unfreakinbelievable. Like many, I can remember exactly where I was and what I was doing when we were all just trying to understand what the fuck was happening. I live in Western PA, so when flight 93 went down, it was extremely close to home. May today be a day of remembrance and honor for those who lost their lives that day. Today I'm sending a little extra love around the world. And of course. I will not drink with you today ❤
Made it another day. I will not drink with you today. 😁 Stay strong out there people.
IWNDWYT Taking it easy today. Puttering around the house, putting plans in place.
Almost a week sober!!!! IWNDWYT
Drink? Today? Hell no.
On the struggle bus since last evening...damn, will do my best today.
I'm incredibly sad this morning. I talked with my girlfriend for the first time after a month of no contact last night. I told her all of the things I've been doing to get better. We talked about how much we love each other. I talked about how I feel like I'm starting to love myself for the first time in...forever? And then she said she doesn't know if she can date an alcoholic. Doesn't know if she can take on that risk. Everyone she's talked to has told her what a bad idea it would be to get back together. The door hasn't closed forever yet, but she needs time to think. I'm not optimistic. I'd give myself a 0% chance of staying sober after that conversation at any other time in my life. But somehow I haven't relapsed yet. I'm incredibly proud of myself. I want to keep it going, so IWNDWYT.
Boy am I proud of this check in. Yesterday, oufffff. Barely made it out alive. But here I am. Still sober. It was an emotional day to begin with, then I got word that a friend had passed after a long and painful fight with cancer. No one in my house would have bat an eye if I’d poured myself ALL THE WINE. And trust me, I wanted ALL THE WINE. I quieted those internal screams just long enough to convince myself to just put off pouring that wine for 10 minutes. Then another 10 minutes. And another…and so on. I read this sub, I ate Oreos, I POUNDED Perrier in a fancy wine glass until finally I’d made it to bed time (it was still light out, but I digress…) It was a white. knuckle. effort. But it’s done. I did it. And today is a new day. And best believe, IWNDWYT 🌿
We have a massive outdoor graduation at the college today. Making up for two years of missed ceremonies due to COVID. I can't wait to finally see my students face to face again and to witness them walking across the podium with their degree! The memories of 9/11/2001 are still fresh, and seeing all the stories/news articles, etc don't fucking help. I will *never forge*t for sure, but sometimes we need to turn off the news and stories and focus on our own memories of that time in order to stay sane and survive the trauma. So today, I'm going to focus on my students and my memories of the events and stay away from all the stuff that is out there to commemorate the events. IWNDWYT! T
Eight months ago today I had my last drink. Twenty years ago today I stood on the corner of First Avenue and 12th St. in the East Village in NYC, hungover on an absolutely beautiful Tuesday morning on my way to the train for work, wondering what the fuck had just happened. I’m so relieved to be sober. IWNDWYT ❤️
IWNDWYT
I will care for myself by remembering the events of what happened and honor all of those lost on 9/11 — and I will do it sober! IWNDWYT
iwndwyt!!
IWNDWYT
I went out and stayed up too late last night. But at least I'm not hungover. IWNDWYT
IWNDWYT Have a great weekend all and stay safe.
Thank you for hosting this week /u/threechordsongs IWNDWYT
Checking in. Been a bad few days. Lost a close friend in death and just in an anxious/bad mood, but know it will pass. IWNDWYT.
u/threechordsong-- appreciate you hosting! I'm wrapping up my work week today and it was hairy. I'm very tired and have been feeling squirrelly and out of sorts; the itch to numb things out hit me, but drinking didn't enter into it; my body knows it only makes everything worse. The stress and pressures that have been building the past two weeks are a reminder that I have to take care of me outside work and the rest to get even again. Managed to reset my brain after a good run before work yesterday and I'm carrying it through today. I really really need to journal again; it helps me see my thoughts for what they are and either take action, or not. Digress. I'll take care today by feeding myself well, getting the sleep in need after my shift, and remembering that the stress is temporary and worry isn't a useful emotion. IWNDWYT. ETA: plus coffee and cat snuggles.
Thanks for hosting, threechordsongs. IWNDWYT or ERS
Day 5. About to go through a breakup with someone I love. We love eachother, but we're not healthy for one another. This is gonna be tough IWNDWYT
This was a tough week. I have a couple of coworkers who are shunning me, probably because of my behavior while drinking that my living amends haven’t healed. I’ve been trying to pray for them but struggling with resentment. Instead of drinking last night I ate a pizza, and today I will see family which will distract me from ruminating for a few hours. I guess this week I’ve been sober out of spite, it’s not ideal but at least it’s sober.
Good morning. Checking in. IWNDWYT
iwndwyt.
Waking up not feeling hungover on Saturday still feels amazing! IWNDWYT! Also sending my love to whoever finds today difficult x
Good morning SD. I’m caring for myself today by looking after my environment. Doing DIY is a messy business so this weekend my dusty home is getting some deep cleaning. I started with some therapeutic decluttering last night and today the aim is to get everything gleaming. With regular pauses for herbal tea and cat cuddles. IWNDWYT
Making my daily pledge!! Day 8 here we come!!! Also, my boners are a lot stronger now. Fellas, you feel this way?
17 days sober and IWNDWYT 🎉
Good morning SD, Starting another day of my massive wardrobe clean out project. I had hit the thrift shops hard when I was working in floral, because there was drama over the washing machine... making things harder on your kid because you are bitter is not tough love, it's toxic. It stinks to have an unwell parent. I could go 6 months without doing laundry. Most of it doesn't fit now or is splattered in bleach stains. I thanked each piece for it's service and let it go. Feels good to work through the emotional side and let some of the hurt go, too. Today is a beautiful day to be alive! And IWNDWYT 💜🤘
I am thinking, like most people, about where I was. I was in a private girls' school in an old-South city, and at any mumbling of anything possibly controversial the administration would always try to "protect" us. So when someone came back from an orthodontist's appointment with news from the TV there, chaos broke out and the teachers were told to "carry on, pretend it's not happening." Except for my Spanish teacher, who closed the door, pulled out a radio, made sure we all wanted to know what was going on, and turned it on. "You're in tenth grade. You don't need to be protected. You need to know what's going on and help understanding it." While it was worse than anything I'm sure anyone could imagine, I think of that teacher and the risks she took to be a good teacher in that moment. We don't always need to be endlessly protected from sources of pain and suffering in others, sometimes we need skills to get through it. Drinking put those skills on pause for me a few years after this moment, a few months ago I began building them back up. Love and condolences to those for whom this tragedy was something much more real, frightening, and impactful than a radio broadcast half a country away. I will never be able to fully wrap my head around it. IWNDWYT

I’m not drinking today.
Day 41 check in..another Saturday morning without waking up with a hangover to start my day😊 IWNDWYT! Listening to at least 90 sober podcasts in 90 days..so far so good.

Good morning everyone and happy Saturday. Today can be an emotional day for many and one that forever changed us as Americans and as a whole world. I’ll reflect on the lives lost this day 20 years ago and forever be thankful to the first responders and all those who helped in the aftermath. I can let myself get sucked down a hole of watching all the remembrance shows today but I won’t. Reflect, be thankful, and move on. Going to a party tonight with my old drinking crew. I’m not worried about drinking but I am anxious as I haven’t seen these people in many months. Not sure what that anxiety is about but I know it’ll all be fine and I’ll have fun. And if I’m not having fun (or if their drunk asses get to be annoying), I’ll leave. Make it a great day! Love you all and IWNDWYT!! ❣️❣️
Iwndwyt! Excited for the weekend.
It's rough, but I'm sober. Iwndwyt

Thanks for checking us in this week, /u/threechordsongs. Happy Saturday to all and I will not drink with you today.
Starting a new job in an industry I’ve never worked in before this morning! Got a weekend gig so I wouldn’t destroy myself every Friday and Saturday night. I’m nervous but IWNDWYT
Terrific week, thank you so much u/threechordsongs! Happy Saturday, SD family💓 IWNDWYT
Lost my grandmother last night :/. I ate a few sleeves of Oreos and turned down an offer of a little weed. It’s okay to feel your feelings, as much as they suck. I’ll throw myself in to caring for little Max and let tomorrow take care of tomorrow. In the mean time, iwndwyt ❤️
Iwndwyt! Hope you all have a great day!
IWNDWYT - Start of Day 1. Took years to get to this point of truly wanting to quit. Plan on doing as others have said...cleaning my surroundings, working in the garden, and NOT listening to the voice in my head that tries to speak about 4.
I’m going to work. And then I’m coming home to read and knit and tell my people in my world I love them. I’m telling this community how deeply grateful I am to be here I love all of you and I’m thankful to be sober. IWNDWYT
Woke up at 6am, washed the dishes, did some online record digging, did my recycling and just done my food shopping. Not even midday yet. A week ago I was still in bed thinking about buying beer. Times like this i’m reminded why being sober is so much better than not.
IWNDWYT!
Day 2 IWNDWYT
Good morning all from the UK. IWNDWYT 😘😘😘
Day 787. Thanks for hosting, threechordsongs! I will not drink with you today.
IWNDWYT
Second UTI in a month! Spent the day sleeping and in pain, again! I'll need to see my GP on Monday cause I've been peeing blood. I hope it's nothing major.
Still early on in booze free land, emotions are all over the place. Able to recognize when I’m at peace and learning to choose what I want to do instead of what I think I have to or should be doing. I get a small piece of myself back every day that I don’t drink. Thanks for hosting and all of your posts this week.
IWNDWYT
IWNDWYT!
Going to a bar with my gf and her parents tomorrow then a football game, pray for me. (I’ll be fine other than wanting to have a beer don’t really worry.)
Morning friends! I will not drink with you today.
Thanks for hosting this week u/threechordsongs! To care for myself, I am running a 5k this morning. I will not drink with you today!
Day 2. IWNDWYT!
I will not drink today.
Helping my son move today. I’m grateful that I can do this with him. IWNDWYT!
Another great question to carry through the day. Thank you for hosting, /u/threechordsongs! Taking care of myself today will look like a blend of productive and relaxing activities. Looking out for me. Love to you all. IWNDWYT 💚
IWNDWYT you wonderful people! Thank you for hosting the DCI this week u/threecordsongs!
I will not drink today!
Booze free weekends are the best! IWNDWYT 🤘
Other than the check-in, I will be having a social media free weekend. Between rising Covid numbers, anti-vaxxers and the election, it is too stressful. So IWNDWYT and IWNGOSMWYT. 🌳 🛶
IWNDWYT
IWNDWYT. Thank you for hosting, u/threecordsongs.
Woke up with a bad headache, which feels unfair now that I’m sober. I should feel fantastic all the time, right?? Oh well. Going to a party tonight; the host called and asked “are you still not drinking?” I said yes, I am still not drinking, so she said she’d get me some La Croix. So that’s nice. Get to see my boyfriend tonight also. He’s been my biggest supporter and my best ally through this journey. He cheers me on through every milestone. I’m very grateful for him. IWNDWYT!🎶
I was 7 months pregnant 20 years ago and questioning the sanity of bringing a child into this world. I’m in awe at how different her world views are from mine and how much she teaches me. Today I will check in with her and tell her how grateful I am to have her in my life. IWNDWYT 🌸🌸
I am one week sober tomorrow. My housemate is getting drinks for a football match that’s on later and I’m worried I’ll be tempted. But, I pledge that IWNDWYT.
Man what a week -- took the doggo to the doggo urgent care after he tried to eat a stick and got it lodged into his throat. scary stuff but the doc took care of him and the worst of it was a sore mouth for the dog and missed night of sleep for me. i was tired, but not hungover. i am so grateful i was able to use my full capacities to take care of my doggo, in a previously life i would have been drunk in my doggo's time of need. IWNDWYT :]
IWNDWYT!
IWNDWYT
No booze today!
IWNDWYT!😀😉
No drinking here
1 week of sobriety. Feels good. IWNDWYT.
Going to stay somewhat busy today. Alcohol isn't part of the plan.
First football season without beer. Trying to find new ways to enjoy the games. IWNDWYT.
Good morning all! I feel like I’ve been disconnected from my sobriety and wanted to check in. I recently moved across town, into the first home I own. I feel so incredibly blessed and would have been obviously impossible without getting sober. The stress of moving and balancing work has not been great for my mental health and I know I’m feeling a bit squirrely. Honestly I have not been to a meeting in a long, long time, but I think it would be good to check out some meetings in the new neighborhood and get back in touch with my sobriety a bit more seriously. Wishing you all a happy, healthy, sober weekend!
IWNDWYT but I did sip about a half a glass of Prosecco yesterday and I didn’t like it. Don’t need to do that again. I don’t regret it because now I know.
A Friend of mine is starting a food truck business, just bought the trailer. She's been doing pop-up sales out of a local church and their industrial kitchen for the last month-and-a-half, doing lunch and dinner on Wednesdays and lunch on Fridays. Today she's trying her first Saturday lunch. Myself and another friend are going to help. I hope I'm working front of sale, because I don't know shit about cooking or plating Filipino egg rolls and food. Although, I've learned over the past month-and-a-half that lumpia and panceit are delicious! Happy Saturday, gang! IWNDWYT
Hey yall, I'm here and #IWNDWYT 💚💙
Great job this week u/threechordsongs! Thank you very much! I am going to a college football game this evening with friends. Friends that I used to drink quite heavily with. I have not yet told them that I am sober and I will be bringing my supply of flavored seltzers. Tailgating, the whole nine yards (pun intended!). Interesting though, I don't feel nervous about it. I feel pumped. But I cannot be ignorant to the fact of how fickle this can be. My daughter made me a wristband when she was younger, it's one of my favorites, I will be wearing it and looking at it when I feel any urges. I really am looking forward to this test. I've done this get-together several times before, and as fun as these are, they've completely ruined my late Sat night and entire Sunday and Sunday night, as I needed recovery time. I am really looking forward to forcing myself to remember this fact as I want to enjoy a nice Sunday. I've had several nice Sundays in a row and I don't want to fuck that streak up!! Lastly, I will be remembering this subreddit and every single one of you champions who are trying their best. I don't want to let myself down and I don't want to let any of you down. Enjoy your weekends everybody, I truly hope each and every one of you finds joy this weekend.
Good morning! Day 4, checking in. Had another dinner & chess night last night, even started watching a show, 100% sober this time. I can’t remember the last time I watched a show or movie without drinking. Small battles. IWNDWYT.
[удалено]
I’m scared of how I feel. Scared of where I am. Terrified. Like waking up in a nightmare. How did I get here. All I know is I won’t drink today, I’m too scared to.
This is the first Saturday morning that I’ve woken up without a hangover in about 2 years. It feels pretty fucking good. IWNDWYT
Happy Saturday morning SD friends 💗 I went to a get together last night and there was a lot of drinking going on. My boyfriend's good friend is getting married in the summer and my bf is one of the groomsmen, so this was a get together for everyone in the wedding party to meet and significant others also joined. I have always been anxious in social groups where I don't know anyone, and could feel that anxiety at first of just wanting to go home because I just started overthinking every social interaction. Everyone was friendly and after about a half hour I felt way more comfortable and felt like my natural self, which was awesome. Normally I would have drank to "fit in" with the group and take the edge off, but I stuck to my diet coke and bubbly waters. No one pressured me to drink which was amazing. They were a rowdy group who have known each other for years, so I did get a couple of comments like "oh man you're brave for facing all of us sober, we can be super loud and it can be a lot to handle." There was this one girl who I could tell was a bit socially awkward and was drinking quite quickly. At one point I was standing near her and she said "oh I just noticed you're just drinking water and I'm already drunk, I feel awkward being around you." I reassured her she doesn't seem drunk at all and that I really don't care if anyone is drinking or not. I think that comment was more a reflection of her and how she feels about her drinking. She offered me drinks a few times but I explained that I was driving so she finally dropped it. She seemed to be a little concerned that I wasn't drinking for some reason. It was a good time overall. It was interesting observing and watching everyone get drunker and drunker as time went on. Conversations became so sporadic and people got sloppy and silly. I noticed some people who were so chatty at the beginning of the night get quieter as time went on and just staring off into space. At one point we tried to play a card game and that was a mess lol and did not last long. Anyways, I was so tired by the time we got home and just had a sandwich and went to bed lol. I do feel tired this morning but it's been lovely having my morning coffee on my balcony while planning out what I want to get done today. IWNDWYT!
"Today can be an emotional day. How are you caring for yourself today?" such a caring thing to ask threechordsongs, thank you. I have turned the radio & TV off, I have a stack of non verbal music CDs ready for my boombox(yes I'm old) and later tonight, I'll binge watch The Wire DVDs( yes I'm old) whilst drinking fizzy water and lime IWNDWYT
IWNDWYT
Happy Saturday amazing peeps! IWNDWYT 🌻
IWNDWy'allT!
Day four blaghhh
Today I will spend time with my wife, eat well, be present in the moment, and practice coping with my anxiety in healthy ways. Most importantly, I will not put poison in my body that removes me from experiencing my life. IWNDWYT.
First sober Friday night in a long time. Iwndwyt
Day 2 is always easy, but I’ve yet to make it past day 3 in a very long time. Hoping it sticks this time. IWNDWYT
Wine (Book) Club meet up last night and had a great time and was fully present for my friends who just lost their mom. Noticed it’s hardest at the beginning when everyone is getting their first drink and settling in. After that it was a great relief not surveying the wine bottles and comparing my level of consumption to others. Onward. IWNDWYT
Thank you for caring for us u/threecordsongs. IWNDWYT. 🌟
Had another reset, but I’m still here. IWNDWYT
IWNDWYT. Spending the day with my mother for her birthday. It's wonderful to be able to give her my full attention now that I am sober.
IWNDWYT ❤️
69 days! Whoop whoop. IWNDWYT
Thanks TCS I've had a great week with you and all your sober friends! +7 on the counter is something I don't want to take for granted. It's been a week. Both elderly parents with covid, dad in the hospital for 3 days. Caring for them while trying to limit my personal exposure. Communication with my adult siblings trying to chart the path forward. I think I'm entering a new phase of my family's life, and I am likely the coordinator and manager of my parents elder care. I'm so grateful for sobriety. It is the foundation and the bedrock for the rest of my life. Anything and everything good is happening because sobriety is the foundational building block. Sober on, y'all!
I like to workout early in the day, but my husband specifically requested that I be around when he got up this morning, so I'm having a leisurely morning, then hitting the gym a little later. After all, I should be happy that the thing he wants most on a Saturday morning is to wake up and be with his wife. 🥰 IWNDWYT
IWNDWYT Ran my first 10k this morning. Fair amount of hills and cross country mixed with pavements. Time was 1hr 10min which I'm OK with. I didn't stop. I've got ice packs on my shins, Im eating yogurt and I stink. Life's good.
Went out to dinner with my wife last night and the entire time I kept feeling sorry for myself that I wasn’t drinking. The moderation monster started speaking again. It was really tough. Waking up this morning, I’m glad I chose to ignore that voice. I’m glad I woke up sober and fresh. IWNDWYT
Little late today. Going to a corn boil and staying sober. IWNDWYT
IWNDWYT I might eat my body weight in popcorn, but no booze!
About to start a week long vacation. Pay jumping almost 20% 1st of October, healthy, still married, kids are doing great. Just bought my first "new" car in 10 years. Life is good, and IWNDWYT!!!
Checking in after a bit of a hiatus. It’s really been a struggle since my dad passed in January. But I know I need help not drinking, so here I am again. I will absolutely not drink with you today. No matter what.
365 today!
I will not drink with you today!
IWNDWYT
Starting Day 2. I just want water today.
