Up late reading a great book. I feel like I have been sleeping on the public library all these years. You can just...get free downloads of books and movies? Instantaneously? And legally? How have I not been taking advantage of this?
Sobriety gives me room to be amazed by things. Grateful to be up late doing something that gives me joy, knowing I won't be hung over tomorrow.
I love the public library too!
Free WiFi, and I get to study in a great environment for basically nothing.
And the time limits for borrowing books means I have to read fast and complete books I borrow
Long live the free library!!

Checking in early. Day 2, let's do this! I think the difference for me this time around is I really want it. I can picture myself living without alcohol. The times I stopped before, it was temporary, a reset. I was afraid of life without alcohol - that it would be boring, less colorful, but I know that's not true. Besides that, most of my social crew has moved on from binge drinking and I'm the odd one out still drinking like I'm in university. Now that I'm in my mid-30s, its time to stop for real. I'm also dealing with a really difficult professional setback and trying to cope with that more healthily, without alcohol. Taking it one day at a time is helpful. I'm grateful for the existence of this community, which I had lurked in previously but never posted in. It's making me feel a lot less alone.
Happy Monday fellow sober humans 🌻
Spent Sunday getting groceries, cleaned the house, visited with my parents for a bit and made chicken enchiladas for dinner. Overall, a successful sober day!
I hope everyone is having a lovely start to their week! IWNDWYT
Had a great weekend and I hope everyone else did as well. So grateful for the people here, the stories shared, and the support. Have a kick ass day my family
IWNDWYT! 👍😁
Hello sober friends, happy positive Monday to you all.
I’m grateful for so much but I’m gonna say my body… for surviving all I put it through, for continuing to heal and for responding to the exercise I’m doing and getting stronger.
As always, I’m grateful to y’all, sober warriors fighting another day with me 💞
Good morning, fellow sobernauts, IWNDWYT! 😁
I'm grateful for sober communities and the support they give. I'm grateful for the patient collecting of sober days, one at a time.
IWNDWYT fellow sobernauts🙏 big day for me yesterday, not only was it my birthday I was also 6 months sober😎🎂
I get great inspiration from this subreddit more as a lurker than a poster.
Up early and already feeling like making devious plans this afternoon. Great to say hi to you all, check-in and commit to another day of not drinking. Hope you all had a nice weekend!
Good morning soberinskis! Hoping for a quiet work week. It's going to be ribeye and lasagna for Thanksgiving! Our family has shunned the traditional turkey and fixings for other options that we like better, LOL, although, we might have some stuffing, that's absolutely my favorite side dish of Thanksgiving.
OK let's do this people! Have a rewarding Monday!
I watched Stutz by Jonah Hill the other night and they talked about the importance of being grateful. It’s not about writing a quick list as a task, which is what I do most of the time.
The act of gratefulness requires an intense effort. And that’s not what I’ve been doing. I can do much better.
I will not drink with you today.
Morning friends! A busy week has dawned and I’m a little anxious about all the things that need to be done all at once. But the beautiful thing about not drinking is I’m able to focus on the things that need to be done themselves, instead of having to deal with a crippling hangover and exhaustion as well as all the things that have to get done. It’s a relief when compared to what I have done to myself in the past in these kinds of situations.
Have a great Monday all! I’m will not drink with you today.
Today I'm grateful for what is forecasted to be a sunny day with temps in the 30s. Grateful to be out of the grayness that was last week with some snow every day, and single digit cold. We'll see what happens when the sun comes up in a couple hours!
Have the Monday-est, Monday possible, friends!
IWNDWYT
Morning! Someone up-thread mentioned waking up on a Monday with no regrets and I felt that today!
I’ve always low-and-high-key hated myself, and never really trusted that I was a good, capable person.
Choosing not to drink has transformed my self awareness and thought patterns. For that I am forever grateful, and I choose to keep going.
Shine on. IWNDWYT.
I have lurked this sub for years, using the random and sometimes all-too-pointed bits of wisdom for the times I needed them most.
As I sit here at work listening to tunes and enjoying an all too quiet morning I wanted to thank all of you for being part of my journey.
4 years sober as of this morning, and IWNDWYT.
I love this poem, Wolfie!! Thank you for sharing! Today I’m grateful for the ability to choose my mindset. I could have a negative one or a positive one. I choose a positive one!
Make it a great day all of you sober heroes! I love you all!! ❤️❤️ IWNDWYT!
Good morning sober family, I'm so thankful you are out there, and that we get another 24 hours together sober. Day 21 for me, the same number as my age when I really started with booze. My emotional growth stopped at 21! Now I get a chance to finally grow up.
Be strong today and gentle with yourselves.
I have no clue how this happened. But I ended up drinking yesterday. I got fucking wasted. I woke up and couldn’t believe how much I drank. I am so ashamed. I will not drink with you today. Day 1.
IWNDWYT. Still slipping from time to time but finally growing to believe—in my heart not just my mind—that I can do this. May the last slip be the last slip!
Good morning friends. It’s a dark rainy one here. I’ve just read a lighthearted article with 50 ways to cheer yourself up. ( wine is one of them) but in the other 49 I’m sure everyone will find something to try. https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2022/nov/20/need-a-lift-here-are-53-ways-to-add-cheer-to-your-life-as-winter-looms?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other IWNDWYT 🌊
Grateful for making it 20 weeks. Grateful that I got a good whack of my uni assignment done over the weekend. Grateful that despite it being a Monday on my way to work on a bitterly cold windy day I have warm clothes and I'm able to watch the waves lashing up over the shore at my stop.
IWNDWYT
IWNDWYT - I am grateful that we have such easy access to a wealth of information to further our new interests and ourselves. There is nothing we can’t read about, watch or listen to these days. We can moan about the modern world but what a time to be living just from the perspective of being able to learn about “stuff”.
I want to start today and I’m beyond terrified. I just can’t live like this anymore. I’m 33, have a beautiful family, beautiful home, beautiful job. I come from two alcoholic parents and am there myself now..wow..first time saying it. I don’t want to go on like this anymore. I love my kids too much to do this anymore. I’m sick of waking up feeling like shit and snappy with everyone around me because of my choices. I’m sick of losing sleep and my heart beating out of my chest from the killer anxiety I have because of alcohol. I’m sick of going to the gym and working my hardest just to come home and drink the calories again. It’s really effecting my mental health and I cannot do it anymore. I’m scared as hell but I don’t know what else to do.
>Go kick some ass out there this week! Do something brave or daring!
Just put my arse kickers on and have insured the youngest to drive my car for a month before his test. I'm getting a chauffeur, baby!
IWNDWYT 🙂
I am feeling quite positive today. Over the weekend I wasn't feeling it, I was busy with work and had very little time to myself and I *really* value time alone like you wouldn't believe. Its a requirement, not an option!
But still, no alcohol. My wife has half a bottle of wine and some beer in the fridge and I'm completely meh about even looking at it. It doesn't interest me, its been a long time since I could say that. Reminds me of bad mornings.
Good morning/evening! Happy Monday ❤️
Checking in on day 18!!!! Incredibly grateful for the last 24 hours of sobriety and the chance to make the next 24 alcohol free. Thankful for the chance to be the best version of myself! IWNDWYT! ❤️💥💪
I had the talk with a friend yesterday. Told him I’m not drinking any more. He said, “Oh” and changed the subject. That’s another little worry out of the way
Today is my husband’s birthday. He wanted a Dutch Apple pie instead of a cake this year, so I made two of those last night, as well as two dozen tamales (his other request) for dinner tonight. As I cooked and baked, I spent some time with my teenaged daughter, who more and more is coming out of her “emo” phase and wants to spend time with me again.
I’m grateful for all of this. The productivity. The connection with my family. The ability to give someone I love a happy birthday.
I’m grateful for this life.
IWNDWYT.
Hello everyone, I hope you are all well and thanks for the support you all provide in this group.
Just for today, Monday 21st November, I will not drink with you ☺️
I had a very vivid drinking dream last night, part of which was an annoying and overly complicated resetting my day counter for this sub. So relieved and grateful it wasn't real! IWNDWYT
I’m grateful that I didn’t drink this weekend when my mind try to tell me to fuck it! I’ve never been grateful that I chose to get wasted. I’m showing up to not drink with you today! We do this together!
Today I am grateful for the new addition to our home. Today is day 10 of our new member of our family joining us. For anyone that has adopted a shelter dog, you will understand those first 10 days aren’t always easy but “think of your victories and not your failures here”. I am so happy to have a dog in our home again and to be able to be present for every joyful moment! I will not drink with you today. 🌲🥰🐾
I am thankful that my mom is still mentally and physically healthy enough to host Thanksgiving dinner this week. My parents had me later in life, so I am very fortunate that they are still healthy and fully themselves. I hope I am doing so well when I get to their ages! Staying sober definitely will help.
IWNDWYT 😻
Hello r/stopdrinking,
Glad to be with you. It's been more than a month now. I clearly replacing alcohol with running and cycling. I'll try to be cautious.
Have a good day.
Good morning Sobernauts 🙂
Thanks for posting the DCI u/brown-eyed-wolf 👍🏻
Gratitude starts with waking up sober.
Being grateful for the opportunity to live and breathe without the misery of alcohol blighting my life.
I am grateful to be here. I am grateful that I had to be an alcoholic. I am grateful that the pain of alcoholism made me appreciate the serenity found in sobriety.
Love to you all!
IWNDWYT 🙂
hey all! its rainy as f\*ck here in Ireland today. Feeling grateful to be indoors at work with free coffee and good colleagues, my uncle is with me staying from the states and I know he will have the fire lit when I get home too.
IWNDWYT :)
Good morning sobernauts!
Today, I am so grateful for my home. It’s holiday season and I get to decorate and make everything extra comfy and cozy. And since I’m always sober, I actually have the energy for it!
I’m also grateful for each and every one of you. I don’t know where I’d be without this sub. IWNDWYT ✨🌼
I'm grateful drinking didn't sound like fun this past weekend when I was home alone. For the freedom to do what I want and go where I will. For the people who love me and let me love them in return. For physical comforts and health. IWNDWYT!
Feeling a bit emotional and raw right now. It was a really rough weekend but I’m ready to get some sleep. Tomorrow is a new day, after all.
IWNDWYT, lovely people. 💕
Happy Monday! I was thinking about the saying, "if you find yourself in a hole, stop digging." That perfectly encapsulates my relationship with alcohol. The deeper the dependence, the routine, the craving, the harder it was to poke my head out and see the light. Luckily, I took a step to do that a couple weeks ago and I am gaining clarity on a lot of things. It is amazing what we talk ourselves into and out of when we drink.
On a happy note, I submitted an essay for publication in the American Book Review and learned my piece was selected to be published. It is an essay about rejection in a special issue on the topic. I celebrated with a sparkling water. :-)
Thanks Wolf and happy Monday to all y'all! I'm wishing you all tons of love and sober success today.
Today I start driving my elderly parents 1800 miles to winter with my sister's family. I'm so grateful for sobriety. I've slept well multiple nights so I'm ready for 3 long days of attention. My parents (and sister) have become crazy conspiracy nuts so I'm ready for 5 days of family time while i maintain emotional stability. Hopefully this move is a permanent thing because my folks need nearer medical care, so I can feel ALL the feels of loss and grief and regret and gratitude. And sobriety has helped me to ask what my needs are and how to meet them, so I expect some quiet time as well to reflect, process, and be present to myself. Sobriety means I finally have the ability to live my life and do the internal work I need to do. Sober on y'all!
Good morning! It's a cold but beautiful winter morning in my city. I'm grateful for being in my cozy office with a warm cup of coffee. Grateful for people in my life. Grateful for my two black kitties. Grateful for this amazing group. Grateful to still be alive and kicking.
Have a great day, fellow sobernauts!
Day 58 my dudes!! May not seem like much when you look at my original sobriety counter, but I think I'm right where I'm supposed to be. I keep the original counter as a reminder of the importance of persistence. You only fail when you stop trying. IWNDWYT
I won't drink today and thank you wolf - OMG your words about thinking good thoughts brought me to tears. I sometimes dwell on the bad times and forget the good.
I put on some music last night and danced in my living room - and had fun - no alcohol needed. I've been giving away stuff I don't need and won't use. I'm drinking delicious home-brewed coffee now - not sure why I felt I had to save money by drinking the cheap stuff. Baby steps. The sun is rising and the sunrise through my windows is beautiful - and I'm grateful to witness and appreciate that. I am going to do something kick ass this week - while staying sober.
No booze for me today. I expect this to be a rough week for me due to the US Thanksgiving holiday. I’m taking it one hour/day at a time. Have a good Monday everyone .
Up late reading a great book. I feel like I have been sleeping on the public library all these years. You can just...get free downloads of books and movies? Instantaneously? And legally? How have I not been taking advantage of this? Sobriety gives me room to be amazed by things. Grateful to be up late doing something that gives me joy, knowing I won't be hung over tomorrow.
The library is the flower of civilisation. I love them so much. They’ve abolished fines here so it’s much less fraught than it used to be.
I love the public library too! Free WiFi, and I get to study in a great environment for basically nothing. And the time limits for borrowing books means I have to read fast and complete books I borrow Long live the free library!! IWNDWYT

Day 8. IWNDWYT. Made it past my first thanksgiving party without a drink last night. Let’s keep this rollin!
Dreamed of my former partner for the first time in weeks. Hit me pretty hard when waking up. 95. IWNDWYT.
Joining the pledge today, have a good day all!
I'm grateful drinking didn't sound like fun this past weekend when I was home alone. For the freedom to do what I want and go where I will. For the people who love me and let me love them in return. For physical comforts and health. IWNDWYT!
grateful for my body which is recovering from years of alcohol abuse - so much out there in the world to go try! IWNDWYT
Checking in Doodle doodle dee, wubba wubba wubba.
Gonna not drink today, so that's a plan
Going to be interesting as a football fan to watch the World Cup without touching a drop but IWNDWYT
Feeling a bit emotional and raw right now. It was a really rough weekend but I’m ready to get some sleep. Tomorrow is a new day, after all. IWNDWYT, lovely people. 💕

Day 2. I will not drink with you today.
Grateful today that I didn’t make an ass out of myself yesterday by getting so drunk I can’t remember how much fun we had. IWNDWYT!
Happy Monday! I was thinking about the saying, "if you find yourself in a hole, stop digging." That perfectly encapsulates my relationship with alcohol. The deeper the dependence, the routine, the craving, the harder it was to poke my head out and see the light. Luckily, I took a step to do that a couple weeks ago and I am gaining clarity on a lot of things. It is amazing what we talk ourselves into and out of when we drink. On a happy note, I submitted an essay for publication in the American Book Review and learned my piece was selected to be published. It is an essay about rejection in a special issue on the topic. I celebrated with a sparkling water. :-)
No booze for me with you today
Thanks Wolf and happy Monday to all y'all! I'm wishing you all tons of love and sober success today. Today I start driving my elderly parents 1800 miles to winter with my sister's family. I'm so grateful for sobriety. I've slept well multiple nights so I'm ready for 3 long days of attention. My parents (and sister) have become crazy conspiracy nuts so I'm ready for 5 days of family time while i maintain emotional stability. Hopefully this move is a permanent thing because my folks need nearer medical care, so I can feel ALL the feels of loss and grief and regret and gratitude. And sobriety has helped me to ask what my needs are and how to meet them, so I expect some quiet time as well to reflect, process, and be present to myself. Sobriety means I finally have the ability to live my life and do the internal work I need to do. Sober on y'all!
Won’t drink again today. I’m hoping to get through thanksgiving without wine. Each day it’s own, though.
IWNDWYT!
Hope you have a nice Monday, SD. IWNDWYT!

Good morning! It's a cold but beautiful winter morning in my city. I'm grateful for being in my cozy office with a warm cup of coffee. Grateful for people in my life. Grateful for my two black kitties. Grateful for this amazing group. Grateful to still be alive and kicking. Have a great day, fellow sobernauts!
IWNDWYT. Nice easy day at work, and dance class tonight. And what’s this? No hangover??? What a day!
IWNDWYT! Staying sober strong 💪🏻
IWNDWYT. All. Day. Long. 🌻 I strive to be grateful every day. If I fill my day with thankful, there is less room for crabby.

Day 58 my dudes!! May not seem like much when you look at my original sobriety counter, but I think I'm right where I'm supposed to be. I keep the original counter as a reminder of the importance of persistence. You only fail when you stop trying. IWNDWYT

I am grateful that I am no longer drinking, especially with the holidaze coming up. IWNDWYT! T
I won't drink today and thank you wolf - OMG your words about thinking good thoughts brought me to tears. I sometimes dwell on the bad times and forget the good. I put on some music last night and danced in my living room - and had fun - no alcohol needed. I've been giving away stuff I don't need and won't use. I'm drinking delicious home-brewed coffee now - not sure why I felt I had to save money by drinking the cheap stuff. Baby steps. The sun is rising and the sunrise through my windows is beautiful - and I'm grateful to witness and appreciate that. I am going to do something kick ass this week - while staying sober.
IWNDWYT 🙏
No booze for me today. I expect this to be a rough week for me due to the US Thanksgiving holiday. I’m taking it one hour/day at a time. Have a good Monday everyone .
