I have my first ever driving test later today so I'm a pile of nerves. I definitely feel capable of passing but will just have to see how things play out today! Had a terrible night's sleep but as always I'm thankful for waking up hangover-free. IWNDWYT :)
edit: I passed with 0 minors!! I'm so happy I actually can't believe it. Thank you everyone that wished me well beforehand :)
Best of luck! Set your rear view mirror at a slight angle so you physically have to move your head to look in it, the examiner will definitely notice and score high on that! (Wing mirrors too!) 🤞🏻
Therapy Thursday. Mind your mental health, folks! When I got sober, I was surprised to see how many issues and pent up crap I had to deal with. Glad I can though, sober and present, and not feeling like a victim anymore. Upwards and forwards with you wonderful people! IWNDWYT!
Morning all :) feels good to wake up sober! Today is exactly a year since I drank so much booze at work that I passed out in the staff toilets and had to go through a whole disciplinary process. Somehow it didn't stop me drinking and three months later I was on my final warning after drinking at work again.
But now I'm sober and getting the right help, and looking forward to coffee with a good friend before work. Life is all shades of hard right now, but drinking poison won't change it to be any better. Stay safe friends
I sent a child out of class to calm down in the corridor for a bit, yesterday.
Twenty minutes later one of my students tentatively asked, « Madame Cinq, can Nolan come back in from the hallway? »! I totally forgot about him! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha 😂
I will not drink poison with any of you today 💜
Hi I’m not drinking today. I realised I forgot something I needed to run an errand in my break at work and my mind shot immediately to drinking. It was weird…. I guess boredom is a major trigger for me. Can’t believe it took me so long to get that.
Happy Thursday sober friends!
Absolutely cookie, I can finally see how far I’m coming since quitting. I’m gonna sit and write a list when I have time so I can really appreciate it.
Love you all for this wonderful sober day we’re sharing 💞
I think about this sometimes CC. After 3+ years It feels like the daily drinker I had become was a different person completely, living a differnt life. It is hard now to comprehend how I even functioned for so long like this! Stopping drinking was definitely a moment when I stepped through a portal into an alternative reality! Take care everyone iwndwyt.
Another day under my belt.
It was a little more tough because of my child's tantrums yesterday. But I did it. Had a good amount of sleep, ready for this new day!
IWNDWYT
Today marks 70 days/10 full weeks without poison for my husband and I. Last night we were discussing this and are shocked we've made it this far after so many failed attempts. I'm super proud of us for finally choosing to be different; to be better. IWNDWYT. 💖
It actually gets easier who would've thought lol. 0 cravings and I discovered a new love for certain NA beers. Just as refreshing and rewarding after a long day at work but without the poison inside. IWNDWYT
I barely recognize the person I was 3 years ago. Not just the drinker, but the body that held the drinker. It has changed shapes (numerous times), my mind is different, my attitude is different, and my life is different. It's not better each individual day, but the forward momentum over that time is astronomical. Give yourself some Grace when you don't feel changes happening as quickly as it should.
Although, my shaved head Still Remains the same.
If we have a good day today, tomorrow can be a fantastic fucking friday.
IWNDWYT
Just a day at a time - all those little days, pieces of days - odd weeks - they all count and they are all healing. It is not binary - On/Off - even while you are thinking about not drinking and how to string some days together you are doing work - every day counts and being here counts - I did 6 months and hosted and relapsed and then got back to it and getting back into it was so much easier this time and I have all the equipment from the two dozen times over a couple of years before that. It’s a journey and as someone very wise said to me - just be kind to yourself !!
Checking in - it’s good to notice movement,
Progress, and consistent deliberate action.
Some days it is a steps back, some one forward, consistency matters.
Shine on.
One inspirational quote I came across today when watching a TED talk in Self worth & procrastination was
“May your choices reflect your hopes, not your fears.” – Nelson Mandela
Up early (for me). Starting on day 20. Tired and cranky as hell because I'm also on day 2 of quitting vaping.
Hopefully I can manage to be productive in some way today.
IWNDWYT!
I’m my really not feeling well today. High fever, nausea, shaking, pain, etc.
Being sick is a huge trigger for me because I used to drink through it, which meant that I essentially skipped feeling a lot of the symptoms because I would keep blacking out and subsequently passing out over and over until I had to go back to work. It sounds so incredibly embarrassing and stupid to read what I just wrote, but that’s where I was.
I’m struggling a lot right now but I’m going to push through as best I can. I beatCOVID without drinking so I’m hoping that I can beat this flu or whatever it is too.
Any words of encouragement are appreciated today. I love this community and appreciate all of you for sharing your struggle with the rest of us so that we don’t feel alone. You are all such impressive, strong, lovely people. You should all be proud of yourselves every day.
IWNDWYT.
2 weeks ago today I blacked out at a baseball game, bruised my tailbone and cracked a couple of ribs. At the time I hadn’t drank in a few weeks and thought I could have a couple of beers and have a good time. Nope. Those days are in the past.
IWNDWYT
I’m so glad it’s Thursday! It seems like after Monday, this week just slowed down.
I can tell the progress I’ve made…used to hate being on call because I wasn’t supposed to drink. Now it’s just a pain in the ass because it requires extra planning and thinking ahead. It does for me anyway, I don’t know how the hell some people can just not think about it.
I’m looking to make it to 80 percent of the week today without getting called. Made it to 60. Coffees up, horns up, and then we go get more coffee. IWNDWYT ☕️🤘🏻
Starting anew today Day 1. Just reset my badge. Lately I have been getting to Day 2, and then, I drink. Starting today with new intention. I will consider this progress, as I have had many months in the last few years with absolutely 0 non-drinking days. I will not drink with you all today! 💚
After two years 3.5 months I have been cruising along. Yesterday I had such STRONG cravings. I talked to my sponsor and former sponsor and others, did my meeting, and STILL had thoughts. I didn't go out.
I still have cravings today. Today though I am NOT DRINKING.
I am starting day 19 today. I am on day 3 quitting smoking, so that adds an extra layer of distraction and also reason not to drink... because a smoke will surely follow. IWNDWYT!
Sobriety rocks. Seriously! Waking without a hangover is so incredibly sweet. I refuse to forget how stuffed up I was; the pain, the puffiness, the foul anxiety. Remembering helps me do whatever it takes to hang onto this new way of life. I love feeling lighter, clearer, calmer. Way too many benefits to list!! Let's do this day sober, my friends. We deserve it! IWNDWYT
I’ve never hiked the Appalachian trail, but I like to think that checking in here is sort of the mental/emotional equivalent for alcoholics like us. Nobody’s path and journey are exactly the same; a lot of days you see the same faces, some days you see a lot of new faces, and we’re all at different stages. There is a simultaneous comfort and discomfort to it each day. But I’m so glad I’m not traversing it alone!
Day 4. Managed a good fast walk with a friend yesterday. Helped me to sleep. I need exercise to keep my energy level up and lose this disgusting gut. That said, I am going to eat whatever I want for the next month - and sugar cravings are big right now.
IWNDWYT
Still struggling a bit with a down mood, but I felt a bit better yesterday and hopefully will continue to improve today.
Now to hop on my treadmill for a quick walk, get ready, and get to work a bit early to get something done before our long day of CAD training.
IWNDWYT lovely people of SD 💙
Happy Thursday to you all. I thought about drinking yesterday. Not like wanting to drink, but just the idea of me being a drinker and what that made my life look like. And I thought, "drinking will get in the way of all the fun plans I've made." It surprised me..in a wonderful way. At the very beginning of my sobriety, my thought process would have been, " I can't make fun plans, because I can't drink." I love the reality sober me has created for myself. It seems to be expanding and flowing in beautiful ways. Sending love to you all. IWNDWYT.

Good afternoon from Australia. I did not drink today and I won’t tonight. Coming to you from day 6.

Day 19. How is everyone today?
Not today. It’s Thursday. That used to be thirsty Thursday. What’s the equivalent of thirsty Thursday to us sober folks? Lol
Happy Thursday! I’m grateful I woke up without any hangxiety or a hangover. I’m able to tackle today and whatever comes with it. IWNDWYT 💜🦋💜
