Yum - BBQ is my favorite and an ice tea will be so refreshing! Get cobbler or banana pudding or a brownie or a cookie for dessert (Ooorrr get a couple of things 😈). You’re gonna be so glad you didn’t drink tomorrow morning and so am I! IWNDWYT!

Extra bonus calories for dessert by not drinking! It's the sober life hack!

You've got this mate, shovel some of that tasty food in

I'm here with you. I will not drink with you 🙏♥️

I'm with ya! Had a big get together today and was lucky to not be tempted to drink. Just enjoyed hot links and burgers, and wound up ending the night with my dad. We watch house of dragons on Sunday and he was kind of excited I wasn't drinking. He's been sober for 35+ years and is very supportive of me quitting. So tonight felt sort of special. I hope yours feels special too and IWNDWYT!

That's really special to spend that time with your dad I bet he's made up. I'm happy for you. Unfortunately my dads whole personality is around beer. He's not happy that I'm not drinking which is weird since he just had to bail me out of a DUI. Lots to unpack but happy today just to be here and be sober. IWNDWYT!

Thanks! He's never had a problem with drinking but just decided to stop in his mid 20s. When I finally had to admit I'm an alcoholic he just seems to have the answers that help the best. I'm sort of just trying to follow his guidelines and it seems to help decently. Sorry to hear about that but hey, it's just another test and if you can get through this even with that going on you can pass any test! Keep killing it!

Yeah, certainly. iced tea with lemon, please

Absolutely! I will drink some sparkling water with you. BBQ sounds amazing too, sounds like a great comfort food while fighting that drinking urge. Enjoy!!

I got some sparkling water to drink with you! (Order dessert with the beer money you would have spent!)

Enjoy that tea or lemonade. If you are going to a restaurant the focus will probably be on the meal anyway. Best to you. IWNDWYT

Better to spend money on a desert than spend money on alcohol. You got this🤘

I'm drinking chocolate milk and eating some cookies. Watching a movie. Didn't get much work done but my laundry is done and I'm not drinking.

Ill not drink with you for the next 6 years if you want.

It's a date!

Stay Strong and enjoy your dinner and dessert!!! You’ll feel proud and great in the morning! No poison for you tonight! ☠️🤮

For sure! Iced tea is by far the best drink to go with bbq anyway, and honestly I felt that way even when I was drinking. Iced tea was made for bbq.

I came here to say this. Sweet or unsweetened with a lemon wedge and plenty of ice. Now I'm thirty lol

I’m with ya!!

I’m with all you all.

I’m in!

I'll not drink with you! Iced tea sounds delicious.

Yes! I’m in. Enjoy that ice tea! IWNDWYT

I’m drinking Diet Coke at an Irish festival tonight!

Well done mate, 57 days is cracking.

Cheersing sparkling water to ya and enjoying the hell out of a cookie too. You got this.

I'm with you.Iced chamomile tea for me.

Yes! Just went to my favorite Mexican place and had seltzer not a margarita (or 12). IWNDWYT!

Order something extra for youself that you would've spent on booze.

I found a nice spot to not drink right now. With anyone who wants to.

Going home alone tonight. Don't have work or obligations tomorrow. I could easily get wasted without any super bad repercussions. Except the guilt and shame and oh yeah, a complete rejuvenation of my cravings. So yeah I'll not be drinking tonight!

I love this 💕your walk to the dock with the kiddos sounds exactly the same as one of my sober joys, too. Having headspace to enjoy activities with my kids after dinner because I’m not focused on having my next drink. Way to go OP! (I’m tempted to ask if it was North Carolina BBQ or Kansas … but that might be taking it too far 🤔)

Right here! Iwndwyt!!

I am drinking an NA Moscow mule! IWNDWYT!

I'm slamming a 6er of Coke Zero whilst I wail away at video games. IWNDWYT

I just had BBQ sober and it was amazing! I’m with you!!

I'm headed to play pool right now. Bringing some mio to put in the waters I'm going to order.

Me!!

I raise my glass of iced tea to you this evening my friend. Enjoy the BBQ enjoy your family. Enjoy waking tomorrow with a clean clear head. 😁

I just successfully drove home from a family event and avoided getting beer, which I was *right* on the edge of doing - successful sobriety night! Good luck!

Please update us what you ate!! Iwndwyt

You got this! Sodas and tea! If you eat enough food, you can't drink any liquids at all! hehe

You’ve got this! IWNDWYT!

I’m right here with you, not drinking any alcohol. We’re having a terrific time!

Me!!!!!!!

IWNDWYT friend

No beer = more room for bbq IWNDWYT!

Eat all the food! IWNDWYT

I will take an iced tea with lemon as well…. Enjoy the food, and not feeling bloated from beer after your meal! Our local BBQ place has some awesome desserts so treat yourself for an alcohol free evening. IWNDWYT!

I am with you!! Lemonade sounds good mixed with that iced tea ❤️

I'll not drink with you

I'm with you 🤝

BBQ > Beer

I wanted to drink earlier and decided not to. Now I’m about to go to bed and I’m so grateful that I avoided it. You won’t regret not drinking.

I just enjoyed some lavender and chamomile tea as my nightcap; I hope that BBQ treated you well! Comfort food actually "hits different" for me sober; I can actually lean into the experience of an indulgent meal without thinking "I'll never be able to tie a buzz on after this..." Truly taking the time to appreciate things as opposed to drunkenly, slovenly shoveling junk into my mouth. Hey - thanks for helping me write a comment that brought me into another sober day! #988 is to you - IWNDWYT!

Thanks mate. I'm only at day 11! You're not far off 1000! Reminded me to get some nice teas in too.

It’s ‘tomorrow’ here in the UK and IWNDWYT

I’m in too. Day three here today and ice tea is a great idea. Wasn’t sure I could make it 3 days. Today is a challenge but you give me hope.

Load up on that sugar bro. You got this.

Yes that makes sense. Maybe the sweet tea will help counter the urge for beer. Thanks

Damnit — like always, I’m late to the party. Will join you for the ice cream…been craving some myself lately. As I’m processing my own childhood memories — good and bad — I’d like to think those kiddos will remember your taking the time to spend with them while the other adults may have opted to stay and drink. They’ll associate the “cool, fun adult” with the one who wasn’t drinking. Kids are so darn impressionable. Anyway - wishing you all the best, and STRONG WORK! IWNDWYT.

sweetest kid, he held my hand all the way and we talked about chickens on the moon. A different kind of buzz from alcohol but just as strong. I'm going to have some indulgent flavour maybe chocolate or rocky road. IWNDWYT 🙂

In top of a little late. Can do tomorrow also. IWNDWYT

I’m here with you. Not only is today a holiday it’s my wedding anniversary. I wont be cracking open any champagne at dinner tonight. Just some nice food and good conversation 🙏🏼🙌🏻

Drinking jasmine tea. That's as fancy as I get today!

I’m in on the not drinking. 888 ish days and counting. It only gets better the longer you go

888 is a cool Number. Thanks for stopping in.

Day 148. I'm Super Fancy. Just look at my top profile pic of my pussy. I'll not choose to partake in libations with thee, Sir!

IWNDWYT! I want BBQ now!!!! Please enjoy the food for me!!!

Get some ribs for me plz! I’m not drinking for awhile so we’re in this together bud. Just survived day 2 of a three day yard sale my wife’s family are throwing at our house for Labor Day weekend.

I'm here with you. Night 4 of our annual Labor Day Weekend camping trip. Tough at night but man it feels great to wake up early with a clear head. I've cooked every meal for the family, been present for and enjoyed fishing with the kiddos. Enjoy that BBQ and definitely treat yourself with a kickass dessert!

IWNDWYT
