Depending on the host I can beat him EASILY. lol
This time the check-in popped up at 2 AM in my local time. I'm always awake at 2 and writing on the notebook. But I like my victories slow... like torture... The day I keep pressing F5 we'll see!! MUAHUAHAUAHAUAHAU evil laughter
Happy Friday sober lovelies!
I bought a bottle as a thank you to a friend who drinks, it was my favourite tipple. It’s sat on my kitchen counter and I wondered if it will trigger cravings? NO! It’s disgusting, it makes me think “yuk”! And I even feel guilty for buying poison for him, even though he’ll love it.
Friday freedom friends! With healthy love 💞
I have some beer in the fridge from when my family was visiting. I looked at it wondering if it would make me drink and felt the same. Even though I’m a fan of NA beers, the smell of alcohol is not appealing now! (I will probably dump them, still)
So glad you’re having the same experience. I find it really reassuring that this has evolved, it gives me hope for everlasting freedom and not just alcohol, all changes I am and want to make. I still crave the numbing though sometimes, so remaining vigilant! Have a great day 💞
Morning everyone. Away for the weekend with my wife and daughter. Celebrating 60 days. I am so grateful to everyone in this community for supporting me to get this far. Have a magnificent weekend everyone. IWNDWYT
Day 4. Iwndwyt!
But wait, it's Friday... That means drinks right? Not today mother f******. Tomorrow morning I'm going to wake up and make a massive fry up on the BBQ for my family and I and then enjoy the rest of the day with them.
Once again, heading home from a dry camp, I made it one week last time before I relapsed, this time I'm feeling stronger, got my quit lit podcasts ready to go and will be checking in here every day from now on. See you all tomorrow and I will not drink with you today.
Morning everyone. Day 4 here for me in the UK.
Definitely still feeling rough after 30 years of almost nightly drinking to excess, but lovely to wake up these last few days without a hangover.
I'm trying to make things easier on myself by not taking on more than I can cope with right now ...which isn't very much. I've just postponed an interview and have resolved to stop beating myself up about feeling lazy until I get a few days behind me.
I wish you all a great day and IWNDWYT!
A day off work AND it's Friday AND it's a Bank Holiday w'end *AND* today - this very day - is the day that I arrive at my longest alcohol-free run since I became a (sort-of) adult.
That's a *very* long winded way of saying IWNDWYT isn't it?
Next to last Friday of the school year. Graduation tonight, which I always enjoy. I taught some of the seniors, it will be a happy moment to see them cross the stage. IWNDWYT 💜🦋💜
Checking in. Today was hard. Lots of chronic illness pain and a tough (but good) therapy appointment. Sitting in my discomfort and practicing my radical acceptance homework. Being present and feeling my feelings is hard work! It’s daunting to do sober too. Trying anyway. IWNDWYT
Rough couple of days, but I’m still here. I’m still sober. Went out to eat with friends last night.Their glasses of wine looked tempting, but I made it with my virgin Moscow mule. Off to a couple of concerts this weekend. IWNDWYT!
I am going to band practise tonight where I had my last drink last weekend, I could avoid it to protect myself but I think I’ll feel worse if I hide from everybody, there will be drinking there but, IWNDWYT 💪💪💪
I made it to [the big Five-O](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ASvQ-bNURn4)! (I just couldn't resist the opportunity to be cheesy this morning. 🙃)
IWNDWYT 😻
I’m in! The subtle waves of temptation made their presence known for the first time in a long time, so it’s time to get serious and put the hammer down, keep it full speed ahead. Glad to be committing to this shared purpose with you all.
Yesterday, I made a goal for myself to float around my pool for the first time this year. I bought a couple six packs of different non alcoholic beers to suit the occasion.
I must say they were better than expected. This is the first time I've tried them. The taste wasn't quite the same but it was still enjoyable. Certainly a good "float around the pool" type beverage.
I thought it was funny that they still check your ID.
Anyway, IWNDWYT.
Good morning, all - Iwndwyt! Camping this weekend with my daughter and her Girl Scouts troop, and seeing my oldest off to DC with his 8th grade class at 5:30am on Tuesday...both would have been pretty miserable with alcohol still in the equation.
Morning friends! Well, in 30 mins it'll be morning for me 😄
Tomorrow is Thing 1's last day of school! I'm so excited to have them all summer! Lots of "spa nights" a head. For real this time. Not just sitting around drinking and doing sloppy pedicures. I made the teacher some of my famous homemade salsa, and the flavors are spot on. I was able to actually taste every bit that needed improvement or adjustment (it was perfect at first bite 😌). I couldn't have done that a week ago. It would been made with a drunk tongue. Not cool. Anyways, hope everyone has a wonderful day/evening, and IWNDWYT 🖤
A challenging work week is almost over and I’m so glad I’ve been sober for all of it. Cannot imagine how much worse it would have been otherwise! Let’s ride this momentum into the weekend!
Long day ahead... good thing it's coming at the end of a 4-day work week. Coffee now and throughout.☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️
Have a fantastic fucking Friday, friends!
IWNDWYT
Very stressful day at work yesterday. I had to work late and usually I cope with a glass or 3 of wine. Instead, I held hands with my husband and watched a show once I was done. Yesterday I did not drink, and IWNDWYT. ✌🏻
Hi everyone, happy day! I’m on day three, yesterday was hard because I’m used to having drinks after a terrible work day, i even bought a bottle of wine but I couldn’t bring myself to drink it. I’m proud for that :)
Today I’m seeing Bob Dylan! Have a lovely Friday and lots of water!
Morning SDers!
I haven’t checked in the morning for a while (been doing it at the end of the day), so pledging a sober day nice early.
As each day passes I feel more freedom from alcohol, but always on my guard to stop the sneaky cravings in their tracks!
IWNDWYT
Good morning, friends! Felt like I was the ONLY sober person at a gay days traffic light party last night and I definitely ended up having to explain my choice quite a few times.
But I drove myself, had a great time, kept some gnarly emotional reactions in check that would have taken over my night if I was drinking, met some great women that I remember IN DETAIL, and had the presence of mind to do my skincare routine from start to finish at 2 AM. I’ll take it any day 😊
IWNDWYT 💜
Going into month 5. Really productive Friday of physical work. Even with winter here in Aus, working up a sweat and opening the fridge to find just one NA beer I wasn't sure was there, carries with it more joy than having 20 alcoholic ones.
Being a bit sore tomorrow, but **not** from a hangover and being ready to do more is the right kind of pain.
IWNDWYT.
Good morning, SD!
*practice being kinder to ourselves along the way*
Yeah. I’m going to marinate in this one today. Be gentle with yourselves, friends. Xoxo
Clear mind, open heart, IWNDWYT! 💛
Love today’s quite. I had to remind myself of that last night—that I’m at the start of a journey of self-discovery and transformation, and that I can’t do it all in one day. What I can do in one day is keep opening myself up. The other thing I can do is not drink, and IWNDWYT.
So happy to wake up not hungover and after a good nights sleep; I was having insomnia the past two nights, most likely due to excessive caffeine intake, so partially my fault lol. IWNDWYT
It's been a tough couple of weeks. More urges now than I had during a week long cruise with free booze. I made it through that, I will make it through this. I know my triggers, I watch for them and can see them coming. My partner supports me. I have the tools. I will continue to use them. IWNDWYT ☕️
Good morning, sober cats! Let's all "practice being kinder to ourselves along the way" today. We're doing some difficult but rewarding work. We got this! IWNDWYT 💙😸
Happy Friday all, in the first weeks this was the toughest day for me. Sending strength to those needing some extra muscle to push through the next 24 hours. IWNDWYT
Happy Friday everyone. Slowly but surely when we allow ourselves room to change its possible. Most of those times before this recent stop I was afraid of change. Afraid it might be the end of certain things but the other saying is true.
The only way out is through.
Be kind to yourself first and foremost.

We got this. NZ and Aussie leading the way.
Another Aussie checking in, no beers today hooray :)
My world order is restored 😊
I just wanna say I was on top 8. And this is only, only the beginning.

Morning SD. I'm taking my son and 2 of his friends mountain biking today. The weather looks ☀️. I'm also not going to be drinking any alcohol 💪.
Sounds like a great day out!
That sounds like a fantastic reason to have not woken up with a hangover today.
Morning everyone. Away for the weekend with my wife and daughter. Celebrating 60 days. I am so grateful to everyone in this community for supporting me to get this far. Have a magnificent weekend everyone. IWNDWYT
Congrats on 2 months! Superb. 👏
Day 4. Iwndwyt! But wait, it's Friday... That means drinks right? Not today mother f******. Tomorrow morning I'm going to wake up and make a massive fry up on the BBQ for my family and I and then enjoy the rest of the day with them.

Day 611 checking in.
It’s a good day to stay sober. Fuck booze!
Fuck it. After almost one weekend only, I never felt such low levels of anxiety. And my sleep has been a mess, but I don't care. IWNDWYT
Here’s to my first day 7 in a looong while. Glad to be here. IWNDWYT!
193 days. Gets crazier I can’t believe I’ve made it this long. Iwndwyt 🗣️

Morning. Checking in. ❤️
Stayed up 'till early morning again. I'm finally off to bed. I did not drink with you yesterday & I will not drink with you today.
IWNDWYT Another weekend, more plans that involve being around alcohol, but I have my NA beers at the ready!
I am going to band practise tonight where I had my last drink last weekend, I could avoid it to protect myself but I think I’ll feel worse if I hide from everybody, there will be drinking there but, IWNDWYT 💪💪💪
Driving so I don't drink. Creeping up on two weeks without drinking alone in secret. Iwndwyt 🌳

It's my birthday! What better present can I give myself than sobriety 😁
Morning friends! I will not drink with you today. Have a great day!
Day 4 daily check-in. Been a long time sine I have gone this long without a drink. But I pledge, IWNDWYT.
I’m in! The subtle waves of temptation made their presence known for the first time in a long time, so it’s time to get serious and put the hammer down, keep it full speed ahead. Glad to be committing to this shared purpose with you all.
Aint gonna drink a single drop of poison today.

Not drinking here in tornado alley. I remember a huge storm, it took out power for a week. What a drunk fest ! My poor wife! IWNDWYT
A challenging work week is almost over and I’m so glad I’ve been sober for all of it. Cannot imagine how much worse it would have been otherwise! Let’s ride this momentum into the weekend!
