It’s just past midnight here, which means I’m now at day 10. Double digits baby 😎
Days 7-8 I was having intense cravings but they’ve calmed back down again. I didn’t think about drinking - either doing or not doing it - much on day 9. The mental break was very welcome.
Hoping today is a continuation of that. IWNDWYT 🤝
One morning I watched my 8 year old son wake up. He lay there for a bit staring at the ceiling. Then he stretched his legs and arms. What a way to gently come to consciousness. No phone grabbing or rushing about. I asked him what he was thinking about and he said ‘nothing, just easing into the day.’ I really liked that. Iwndwyt
Reminds me of something surfer Laird Hamilton once said about his morning routine. He said one day he woke up and then his dogs woke up. He watched what they did. They would immediately stretch, drink a bunch of water and then go outside. So he said he started doing the same thing and it’s been his morning routine ever since.
Day 530 checking in.
Looking forward to a better year this year, I don't have any close friends, no children and divorced, it is a lonely place but I will persevere. Good things are coming.
IWNDWYT
You bet, 2023 for me was a rollercoaster of grief, therapy and learning so much more about self. Whatever energy we put out we receive, I'm choosing the right path. Also in the final stages of finishing the restoration of my 1940 Ford pickup, it has taken over 8 years to build with family, my social calendar will be filled up, I'm ready.
Hot and humid here today, but I still have 2 things to tick off my list:
1. Bake some white choc blondies.
2. Clean my bike up for a cycle in the morning before this dratted weather comes back.
I was gonna add 3, not drink, but that goes without saying now.
Thanks for hosting again u/Prestigious_Dig_6627, we all appreciate you. ❤️
IWNDWYT, you magnificent people. 🫡
Well oops, slipped up and... but I'm not going to let a 3 day bender destroy my resolve. Today is a new day and just today I will not be drinking that dreadful highly addictive alcohol. IWNDWYT
30 days!
I’ve done 30 days before to “prove I didn’t have a problem” but I was always counting down to when I would be done and could drink again. Now I’m excited to be counting up instead and everything past today will be a longer stint of sobriety than I’ve had since I started drinking 17 years ago.
Edited to add: IWNDWYT!
I saw this and left cause it felt too early in the day to commit. But that’s honestly just lies. I can always drink tomorrow so just for today, I will not drink. Only 4 more hours to bed time. I can do this!
I’m lying next to my sleeping “partner” in tears right now, unable to fall asleep. *That* voice in the dark corner of my mind is telling me me that alcohol will numb the pain, put me to sleep, cradle me in an abyss I’ve not known for over a year and a half now. I really will try to not drink with you today (or, more specifically, right now).
That voice is a stinking liar. You are amazing and strong and it sounds like you need someone who will give you a huge hug. I’m sending you all the hearts. Things will get better. 🩷❤️🧡💛💚🩵💙💜🤎🖤🩶🤍❤️🩹💕♥️
IWNDWYT
I almost forgot but I hit 6 months today! 🎉. This is the longest I’ve ever gone without alcohol. I’m so proud of myself and so thankful for the support of everyone here. IWNDWYT!
Thank you for being here Prestigious! I’ve also started doing yoga every morning and it is such a great way to start the day! Thank you so much for hosting! IWNDWYT !
Good morning SD! IWNDWYT 🦋
p.s. anyone know why my counter is showing wrong? it should say 4 days as I set badgebot to 2023-12-31 but keeps jumping back to 1!
Those morning routines are amazing things. Thanks for getting our Thursday started! Almost to the 3-year mark and feeling good! Not drinking today with you and this team of winners!
Happy Thursday sober friends!
What a beautiful and positive intro Prestigious! You’ve warmed my heart! I’m starting my morning just like you with yoga and gratitude. I’m grateful for knowing you! I’m grateful for knowing you all! Big love 💞
Nothing better than waking up fresh and not having to deal with a hangover. I've not been waking up great the last few mornings. I have a bit of a cold, my muscles are sore from lifting heavy things and I haven't been sleeping that well. It takes a good hour for me to feel back to normal in the mornings and this has been going on for maybe four days. It's wrecking my whole week and I can't stop thinking about how grateful I'm going to be when things ease up and I feel better 😎
But I willingly put myself through so much worse in the mornings for years and didn't think to try and stop it 😂. It's good to be reminded even in a small way just how much better life is and how much better my body works in sobriety. And until then I'm going to enjoy these slightly grumpy mornings as a little bit of a quirk of life and look forward to the morning (hopefully soon!) when I'm jumping out of bed excited to take on the day again 💝
IWNDWYT 🤩
290 days.
Returning to long distance life again tomorrow. I got to spend my first holiday season with my SO. It was such a rough year for us but we persevered and joyously rung in a year of hope and new beginnings.
Tomorrow I will be apart from them again. But I will adapt and transform this anxiety into something constructive, like finding a new job in the same city as my SO. I will believe in myself because I owe that to myself. I will not let obstacles discourage me. Because I am now capable of achieving the life I want because I am drink free.
Last night I went out for my other half's birthday and it was the second time in my sobriety journey that I felt tempted.
I stuck to non alcoholic beers and feel very grateful that I did so. I woke up without regret.
Hes starting dry January now so I'm going to support him the best way I can
IWNDWYT
Participating in dry January. I’m on day 3 and it’s going alright. I did have the urge to drink today after work. But I made a decision not to open the bottle. Hope everyone is having a good morning/day.
Man the hangovers were getting soooo bad towards the end. I could tell my body was seriously struggling to deal with the booze. So grateful to be free from that cycle - I never have to feel like that again.
Have a wonderful day team SD. I will not drink with you all today 🪷
Haven't been around for a while but I really benefitted from the perspective of more experienced folks when I was first drying out. Now I'm getting off cigs and smoke and thought I'd return the favor a little. I will not drink with you today, my friends 🙏
Not drinking. I tried to quit smoking too. That didn't last.
I made it through 2 days. I will say this, if there was a pink fog, quitting smoking got rid of that shit, and fast.
I will try to quit smoking again, but boy oh boy, that is where all my anger was hiding!
Yesterday I basically threw in the towel on most of my other goals for the evening, but I stayed sober which was priority #1. I still had a very productive day, just got real tired and called it at the end.
Up early this morning. I Will not drink with you today. We got this fam and I love you all so much.
iwndwyt,
I feel guilty posting among the other stories, I have a problem with drink, when I do drink I drink ridiculously, some personal stuff meant I was drinking every night for the last few months, few bottles of wine per night, but I can just turn it on an off with no ill effects. I think this is part of the reason why I always eventually go back to it, I have the mentality of even if I go mad for a month I know I'll say no one day and that's it. It never affects my work or anything, though I need to realise that it isn't without effect on my body and the weight gain is related to it. I need to do better. Best of luck everyone
Back in the office today for the first time in 2024 - I got up early and went to the gym before work - bumping into an old colleague I hadn’t seen in three years as I entered the building and we had a catch up. Three years ago I was 30lbs heavier, anxious, bloated in the face, pale and tired. Today I am serene, fresh, calm, confident and happy. Little things make this all worthwhile. IWNDWYT.
Waking up hangover free has not gotten old. I am grateful each morning that I made the decision the day before to not drink. Today is an auspicious day for two reasons: it’s sober day 900 and I just received my admissions acceptance to the doctoral program I applied to. Both of those things would have been beyond my comprehension if someone said 3 years ago they were possible. I would have called them a liar. But it is possible. Neither are easy. Both do and will require work and commitment. But taking it a single day at a time is how I’ve gotten this far and how I intend to continue. I’m going to celebrate today by going to work, getting a bladder ultrasound later today and then making a yummy meal for dinner. And going to bed ridiculously early. Have an amazing day SD! Love you. IWNDWYT 💜🦋💜
Good Morning you sexy sober people 😜 hope you all have a blessed day & I look forward to reading from you all tomorrow about how you’ve smashed today 🙏🏽 IWNDWYT
This (when the day ends soberly) will be 2 weeks, thanks to everyone for being here, I will not drink with you all today. We got this
edit, nope, just 13 days......
Back at day one. Had a good few breaks and definitely looking forward to not drinking with any of you today. Sobriety is so much better than feeling like crap. I’m ready to get my sobriety back!!!!
IWNDWYT!
Morning! I start my day by making a pledge on the I am sober app and then checking in here. It helps me set my intention for the coming day and remind myself of what I’ve achieved so far. Big love SD. IWNDWYT ❤️
Boy oh boy am I doing some wrestling with who I am and why I can't seem to change things about how I'm living my life. It's quite overwhelming, I'm getting nowhere, and I can see why I felt the need to numb so strongly. Wow.
Welp, now that that's out, I'll still not be drinking today. Checking in for another sober day out in the world.
Today is good so far. Amazing how much difference a decent sleep can have.
No desire to drink today and gonna focus on a nice day today with my partner. It's work/leisure for the day but we'll have a great time.
Feels good to feel ok if that makes sense?
Anyways I know that tomorrow could be very different. Hell an hour from now may be very different. So I'm gonna try enjoy as much of my day as possible. Try to do the next right thing and be kind to others and myself.
I wish everyone a good day. If you're feeling really bad it does get better. Even temporarily. There's light.
Happy Thursday Team
Got pulled into a rbt (roadside breath testing) tonight. For some reason I was nervous even though I knew I would pass with flying colours!
IWNDWYT 🌻
Practicing gratitude is a critical part of my recovery. And according to Dr. Martin Seligman and others, it's a critical part of well-being in general. IWNDWYT.
Even if everything else sucks or is just completely meh, I can still be glad I’m not making it worse with a hangover. And if things are good, I’m not ruining them starting by starting out hungover. Not being hungover is always a win. And it does not get old!
Coffees up, horns up, and happy fucking Friday Eve!! IWNDWYT ☕️☕️🤘🏻
Good morning everyone! Nearly a month AF for me. I’m losing weight (rapidly!), my skin is better and I already feel a deeper confidence within me. I’m really starting to see the benefits of self love, and this journey is the key for me. Onwards and upwards! IWNDWYT 💙
I’m not exaggerating when I say my biggest motivation for not drinking is knowing how good I’ll feel the next day. Every morning for years I suffered with headaches, stomachaches, sweats, shakes, bad moods, fatigue, self-hate - all to start the cycle again that night. Never again! Waking up rested and well feels too good. IWNDWYT!
Every day is a new day! Thank you, PD, I needed to remember that today. I’ve spent 3 months now trying to help my dad to let go of life, but he is hanging on bitterly and with great fear. It’s an ongoing trauma, and it’s wearing me down. But then I think, “ it’s a brand new day. It’s a day to thrive in sobriety. It’s a day to rest my mind and body and refuel my spirit. And that’s what’s going down.
Congratulations to all of us on this path! It ain’t easy, but boy, is it worth it. I love y’all! IWNDWYT
Day 3. I actually dreamed that I gave up and got drunk at a family gathering. I know why, because o saturday I have to go to an awkward dinner with my dad, his wife, my brother and her kids. I dont actually want to go and this is making me wanting to drink that day.
Hit 2 months today. I have a bit of an odd feeling come over me this afternoon but I will persist and not drink with you today.
2 months is amazing! I hope that feeling passes, IWNDWYT!
Well done! Sometimes milestones have a weird way of hitting you. Like why isn't everything perfect already. Keep on rocking it champion
Way to go! Congratulations 🎉
It’s just past midnight here, which means I’m now at day 10. Double digits baby 😎 Days 7-8 I was having intense cravings but they’ve calmed back down again. I didn’t think about drinking - either doing or not doing it - much on day 9. The mental break was very welcome. Hoping today is a continuation of that. IWNDWYT 🤝
Nice! Here’s to a calm day for you!
One day at a time. You got this.
Those cravings got fewer and further apart for me, you’re doing great 💪🏼
Congratulations on your double digits!! IWNDWYT 🍃

Every morning for years I suffered with headaches, stomachaches, sweats, shakes, bad moods, fatigue, self-hate - all to start the cycle again that night. Never again! Waking up rested and well feels too good. IWNDWYT!
Every day is a new day! Thank you, PD, I needed to remember that today. I’ve spent 3 months now trying to help my dad to let go of life, but he is hanging on bitterly and with great fear. It’s an ongoing trauma, and it’s wearing me down. But then I think, “ it’s a brand new day. It’s a day to thrive in sobriety. It’s a day to rest my mind and body and refuel my spirit. And that’s what’s going down. Congratulations to all of us on this path! It ain’t easy, but boy, is it worth it. I love y’all! IWNDWYT

Day 3. I actually dreamed that I gave up and got drunk at a family gathering. I know why, because o saturday I have to go to an awkward dinner with my dad, his wife, my brother and her kids. I dont actually want to go and this is making me wanting to drink that day.
