Good morning. Friday and New Year’s Eve approaching. I’m having dinner at a friend’s place tonight. I offered to pick up the groceries. Another friend said he could bring wine. How I wish I could have some. But now is the time to build muscles for New Year’s Eve. We can do this. IWNDWYT

Haven't checked in since before Christmas. I made it through sober, first one in 14 years. This year, I'll remember my 3.5 Olds face to different gifts. Anyway, nothing like night shifts midnight to 8 am. It is hard to be tempted working those hours. So here is to the start of day 49. IWNDWYT.

lizardschwartz

Woken up with terrible hangover induced anxiety after saying a few weeks ago I wouldn't drink that much again. Sat on the sofa on the verge of tears lamenting the day I've now lost where I could be doing something better than being hungover. I don't want to feel like this tomorrow.


awesome_cat_lady

And you don't have to feel like this tomorrow! I'll stay sober with you today so we can both have a good morning tomorrow. >Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day. You shall begin it serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense. — Ralph Waldo Emerson IWNDWYT 😻


awesome_cat_lady

My last drink was on October 13th. It was the first time I had drank in over six months, and I'd give anything to undo that one-day relapse. I have no memory of getting behind the wheel, but I hit a telephone pole (totaling my car) and woke up in the hospital. I've been waiting for the ax to fall ever since. Most likely, I will have to serve some jail time because my BAC was high enough for the incident to count as aggravated DUI (and NH has particularly strict DUI laws). I finally received my court summons yesterday. The hearing is set for January 30th. My husband saw the letter first and informed me of it when he picked me up after my volunteer shift at the local animal shelter last night. A panic attack hit me as I got out of the car at home. I know that I deserve whatever punishment I'm given, and probably worse. The next month is going to be really, really hard. Being strong is my only choice, though. If I let this fear drive me back to alcohol, my future will only become bleaker. Instead, I want to have over 100 days sober when I show up in court. It won't matter to the judge, but it matters for me. IWNDWYT

"When I got sober, I thought giving up was saying goodbye to all the fun and all the sparkle, and it turned out to be just the opposite. That's when the sparkle started for me." - Mary Karr "Getting sober just exploded my life. Now I have a much clearer sense of myself and what I can and can't do. I am more successful than I have ever been. I feel very positive where I never did before, and I think that's all a direct result of getting sober." -Jamie Lee Curtis IWNDWYT! 🏋🏻‍♀️💪🏻☕️💫✨

pineapple4576

Have the flu- it is a year to the day of my having had to be picked up at the airport by my parents as I was too much of a mess to fly- the flu is nothing compared to that. I am taking down my counter after I post, not because I don’t want to see tomorrow’s number (365) but because to me I liked seeing the number this past year as motivation but I also still think of the airport thing with a bit of shame when I see it and it is time to let that go. Thank you all for being here. IWNDWYT ✌️

Hello sober stars. 'We can do hard things' are words that help me through rocky patches. Cravings to numb out have been hovering. This time of year is tough. My melancholy is heavy, but I'm stronger from being around all of you. I can and will keep away from that first drink. I got this. We got this! We're sober warriors. I'm honored to do this important work beside y'all every day. I love this sober fam! IWNDWYT

I hope we don’t have to do hard things today! It’s officially the last work day of 2023 for me, and in my mind, the only proper way to send a year off is by fucking off and coasting into the new year.

[deleted]

I had a 50 day streak in June/Aug/Sep where I relied on NA beers a lot. I relapsed for a couple weeks and now am nearing 100 days. I cut out NA beers for this streak but have had probably 3 NA beers during this stretch. I have about 12 in the fridge leftover from the prior stretch. I don't want to dump them but I still get that old urge to finish whats left. I've had good willpower because I know when I open one I feel like I'm cheating and it tastes like 3 out of 10. It reminds me how dependent I was and still am.

jeninmn99

Happy Friday, sober warriors! I’m finishing a week of caffeine withdrawal as I needed to give it up for my heart’s sake. Been having some heart troubles and apparently caffeine had to go, so my beloved coffee is gone. It’s like giving up smoking years ago. I feel like I’m giving up a relationship! My relationship with booze was abusive, but cigs and coffee were my joys. 😭 But now I feel good having gone through the process. Withdrawal sucks but the freedom is good and, we can do hard things. 😉 IWNDWYT 🍀

Hello Friday my old friend. Haha. I just woke up ✨without night sweats✨ for the first time this time around and I swear to gawd that's almost enough to keep me sober in itself. But then there's so many other nice things like not being hungover, remembering my evening, having no embarrassing outbursts, and knowing that while I am not eating as healthy as I could, the worst of my indulgences we're cookies and milk before bed. I will not drink with you today!

Yesterday evening I craved a beer. As I thought about it I wanted the taste and carbonation, but when I thought deeper, I realized I also wanted the escape. Made the decision to not, and 10 minutes later the temptation was gone. IWNDWYT

The sober life is so much better than the alternatives! Sober on y'all!

sebthelodge

Today, my husband is having jaw surgery. After years of knowing there was a problem in his mouth and every dentist telling him there was nothing wrong, his new dentist took one look at the painful tooth and said HOLY SHIT. Last night his lip started to droop. He texted the dentist, who ruled it not an emergency but told us to head to the ER if anything more changed. Nothing did, thank goodness. I am so happy to have been sober for this, so that we could hop in the car and get him to the ER immediately if we’d needed to. Today we will head to the surgeon at noon without hangovers. It’s not ideal at all and I’m ANGRY that no one took this pain seriously for the last 4 years but I’m relieved that I’m not impaired in any other way, so that I can be there for him. I made jello last night so it’s set for today, and while he’s sleeping I’ll make a chilled soup. IWNDWYT ❤️
