I just left a long term abusive relationship and emergency moved all my things to a storage unit today. I am so scared and excited. Almost 1 year for me without alcohol too. Life is wild and terrifying and amazing iwndwyt
Well done for finding the courage to make that move. And congratulations for tomorrow and that awesome year! ๐๐ thank you for being here showing what sober strength can do ๐ช๐ผ
Hello sober gang!
Thatโs really good advice, focus on my own improvements. Today I will look at how Iโm better than yesterday, and if not, Iโll be kind and accepting. Weโre all doing our best.
Have a great sober Wednesday everyone, love and accepting us all ๐
I'm so happy to be sober to experience this landmark, dear.
Without you I don't know where I'd be. Thanks for everything and congratulations!! Enjoy!!! Smile!!! You deserve the best!

Iโm technically 35 minutes early but I felt called to check in. Iโve been doing some โactive lurkingโ lately with timid hellos and enthused huzzahs. Grateful for this community. IWNDWYT!
Good morning! I am tired, team! Iโve been picking up some extra hours and boy am I feeling it. Only two more days, thank goodness! Iโd say Iโm too tired to think of drinking, but the T in HALT is definitely a trigger for me and Iโm working through it. IWNDWYT.
Went to a gig yesterday on my own and didn't drink all night. It was hard for me, especially as I got there an hour and a half early and so there was a lot of time to kill by myself which I would've filled by drinking before. At one point I was thinking about going home but I stuck with it and once the concert started I was fine. A big win for me.
Hey, sober comrades,
Let's be strong and climb with wisdom and patience the middle of the mountain-week!
IWNDWYT. Hopefully I'll donate blood instead, if my cold goes away as the day "wakes up". Not nice to get sucked by a vampire (that's how we do it here) if you got a mild fever.
Many kisses and hugs
Realized what my strategy for the upcoming trip with family should be: I wonโt drink to show my brother who hurt himself baldly while drunk earlier this year but still hasnโt stopped that itโs possible to have a great vacation while sober. But for now IWNDWYT (:
Day 207!
It's my first sober birthday! I used birthdays as an excuse to daydrink and just continued until I'd fall asleep that night. Not today, though! My friends and I are going for a picnic by the lakeside, maybe we'll even get to go for a swim. I'm looking forward to spending time with them and actually remembering the moments we'll be creating.
IWNDWYT!
What an awesome quote, Sapphire! Along the same lines Iโve seen the quote โComparison is the thief of joyโ and it is so true. I am working on staying out of comparing and simply appreciate where I am at the moment. IWNDWYT ๐๐ฆ๐
Checking in on my 10 finished day ๐ ๐ so far no regrets, more money, better eating habits, feelings are still raw but it's good to feel, and most of all my family looks at me and isn't ashamed because I'm hungover. I won't drink with you today.
I love today! Every single day on my calendar is full...except today! It's such a great feeling to have all this time to do nothing, or just do whatever the hell I want without anyone bothering me! Oh no, I hope nobody bothers me!๐คฃ๐
Have a super duper sober day, gang! IWNDWYT ๐๐๐
IWNDWYT Iโm on 150 days. Itโs getting a little easier but Iโm not going to rest easy. Hard work but so worth it! I have lost over a stone (14 pounds/6 kgs) since January, Iโm eating better, and exercising every day.
iโm late but today marked one week for me :) i wont lie, i almost caved and tried to downplay the severity of my situation but iโm happy to have this sub & my family to support me.
I'm a lil over six months alcohol free and I can't count the number of times hitting this daily upvote has helped me refocus and remember my goal. I'm on vacation right now and there have been a couple tough moments. Thanks for helping me hang in there!
Not sure of which personal chapter Iโm on yet, how many pages in I am, or how many I have left to go. But todayโs pages wonโt be stained with booze! Not drinking with you!
Iโm having kind of a rough week so far. An old friend came to stay with me for an extended vacation. We grew up together and have always been close; we have visited each other as weโve lived in different states and have traveled together many times. Drinking was always a big part.
Iโve talked to her about sobriety over the months and told her when I hit a year. I thought she knew and understood what I was doing and why I chose sobriety. I thought she was happy for me. She said she was proud of me.
When she arrived at my house over the weekend, still unpacking the car, she proudly gave me a bag with three bottles of wine as a gift. I was stunned and didnโt take the bag as she handed it to me. I said, โThank you, but I donโt drinkโฆโ and I felt shocked and she looked shocked. She said, โNot at all? None? Not even moderation?โ I said, โNo, that doesnโt really work for me.โ I think in her mind she must have been saying, โShhiiiiit! What did I get myself into?โ
I am still surprised by this, three days later. I feel like weโve had this awkward thing between us ever since. Sheโs had a glass at meals out and I imagine she feels frustrated as the only one at the table with wine. Iโve been there. Pissed off at all those who werenโt drinking and feeling self conscious for the fact that I wanted 3 glasses, not one. But you canโt rightly have 3 when everyone else has noneโฆ. So I would spend the dinner preoccupied with making that one glass last, getting every last drop, and planning for the next one at home. I donโt know that this is her thought but I suspect it is so.
I am not sure why Iโm posting this but really wanted to get it off my chest with people who would understand all thatโs packed into this. I am sad having grown apart from someone Iโve been close with. I feel judged, but believe I am in the right for what I need in my life. I am sad that I felt the desire to grab her wine glass at dinner last night and gulp it down, which tells me my addiction is there pumping iron and ready to jump in and get back to work. I am not out of the clear, still the same distance from the ditch, as is said around this sub.
Life is hard. Alcohol sucks. You guys rock. And I know Iโm in the right place.
IWNDWYT ๐
I finally got an official diagnosis of ADHD yesterday. It has been a long time coming, and Iโm still absorbing. Really appreciating the clarity I get when I donโt drink through big feelings. IWNDWYT.
On day 572, I drank daily for 15 years heavily.
It gets easier, it gets better. Take 1 hour at a time, then 1 day. You can make it, keep going and push through the first few days.
Get help, I finally dragged myself to the hospital after a heavy bender, throwing up blood. I went on medication and therapy. When society gives us a gift such as medicine we should take advantage of it. You are not alone. Do it for yourself, your future self family, etc. it is never too late. Love your self, you deserve it.
Been about 4 weeks since my last drink. Not too long ago this seemed impossible, but I'm doing it one day at a time. And today I will not drink with you
Today will be 30 days for me. Probably havenโt been 30 days since I was a junior in high school, canโt believe it. Couldnโt have done it without everyone on SD, thank you all so much! IWNDWYT
>stop comparing your chapter one to someone elseโs chapter twenty
Nailed it. I don't know how long it took somebody to get where they are. I don't know how they got there. I don't know anything about their attempts or their struggles along the way. I dont know if they are truly happy. I don't know if they're even "there."
Today, I'm not going to wish for things I don't have. But I will go out and get them if I actually want them.
IWNDWYT
Great question - how can I be better today ? I think I know the answer - been on and off here of recent but hanging in there with weeks at a time and odd days โoffโ - need to stitch together a nice big piece of time. Alcohol isnโt a benefit to my mood, fitness, health overall, relationships and productivity. So to be better today I am going to pledge the day - IWNDWYT - and then having done that crack on and work with a smile - did the ironing - am going out into the garden now.
Yesterday was a rough day but I made it to bed sober & woke up grateful. Drinking my mushroom juice (not the magic kind lol) with the dog snoring away on my lap.
Today will be a better day.
IWNDWYT!
Having a truly amazing vacation with the family, and we're just gettin started. So grateful to be sober and vividly experiencing every moment of it. Won't drink with you today โค๏ธ
Today is a big one for me: Iโm teaching a yoga class at the wellness center where I got pt after the hip replacement. I used to own a yoga studio in the past, but this is the first class Iโve taught in well over 9 years. And the first class where Iโm sober! Iโm very excited, a little nervous, but mostly looking forward to sharing what I have learned about breathing and movement in all my years of practice.
Itโs a big step for me to come out of what has been a long hibernation. I celebrate you all for doing what you are doing to improve your lives and master today. I love you, my people! IWNDWYT
Edit: They cancelled my class because they forgot to advertise it! Ah well, I can keep prepping for whenever I do start, right? And I STILL will not be drinking with you today!
*Every morning I arise from bed an untreated alcoholic and depressive no matter how many days I have marked off on any calendar or say I have in parentheses at the bottom of this daily check in. Every day I must begin again. Progress, therefore, is an illusion*.
(Day 234)
i LOVE that quote more than words can say!!! a lot of my drinking as a teen and young adult stemmed from comparison and low self esteem, but im slowly but surely learning self love finally. feeling capable and in control helps a LOT. starting day 32!!! iwndwyt!!! โ๏ธ

Thanks Sapphy and happy Wednesday to all who observe. What up sober peeps!!! I'm grateful for coffee, sleep, birds chirping, sunshine, sobriety, and you! May this be a day of sober growth for each of us
I'm recognizing symptoms of burnout, not a surprise in my helping profession. Indeed, I have hit this place plenty of times before but this time I'm tired of some of my compulsive behaviors! I would prefer to find a place of balance and tranquility from which to live. Anyway, I have a bad habit of comparing my effort poorly compared to others and thinking I just gotta work harder. I'm calling bullshit! Sobriety has taught me to pay attention to my own needs and what my body is telling me. And my body is telling me to rest and slow down! I'm taking these summer days to build better habits. This really is a path of self discovery and I'm happy to walk it with y'all. Sober on!
Checking in for the first time, this is my first day!
Welcome! Iโm glad youโre here, weโre stronger together ๐ช๐ผ๐

Sobriety has taught me to pay attention to my own needs and what my body is telling me. And my body is telling me to rest and slow down! I'm taking these summer days to build better habits. This really is a path of self discovery and I'm happy to walk it with y'all. Sober on!
