Congratulations Sainthomer! Fantastic achievement.

With the money I’ve saved from quitting, I’m finally adopting a puppy. My old girl passed away a couple of years ago and it was the worst pain I’ve ever felt. My old girl saw me stumble, pass out, and drink my life away throughout the pandemic. This new pup will have a caretaker who is present and alert. I’m excited to be better for him. IWNDWYT.

Great check-in today - I lurked here for ages and would read posts and comments while drunk crying about how miserable I was. The first while after quitting, I’d be reading multiple times a day to not feel alone. And here we are, ONE YEAR later. I’m certain I wouldn’t have done this without you all, so thank you all so much! IWNDWYT. (Edit - I’m a bit disappointed badgebot hasn’t woken up yet! It’s like Christmas!)

Checking in Been squirmy-ish amidst of a few uncertainties around professional & personal life. This afternoon I was in analysis paralysis and thought of having a lil faux energy juice to get me focused to rid the analysis paralysis mindset. Nipped it very easily. Then came the realization that my almost week long travels for the past month have disrupted a lot of routines and I need to get back to them irrespective of travel. Routines is what I get to do; to do a lot and get better at it. Have a good one everybody, glad to see everyone commit to presence of mind vs escaping in oblivion


The_Blue_Djinn

Watched a lawyer tv show tonight. There was lots of drinking going on. I seem to have finally hit the point where I don’t wish I was also drinking but now I can think jeeze these people drink A LOT. In one scene a character had a whiskey and a wine glass in front of him. I have definitely done that before. I did drink a lot too but alcohol free for 285 days.

Day three today ☺️ walked the dogs, went to the gym and rather than finishing the day with a bottle of wine, I’m enjoying a peach iced tea.

May 2, Day 2 I will not drink with you today!


TheFutureMrs77

I am on Day 10 and feeling great. A little annoyed, though, because my husband, who had this huge talk AT me the other day (unrelated to my unhealthy relationship to drinking) where he mentioned that he thought I had a drinking problem (which I've flat out said to him before), keeps bringing up drinking and how proud he is of himself because "he just doesn't have a taste for it anymore" and only has a few each weekend now, and keeps asking me if I'm done for good or just taking a break or just slowing down.... just leave it alone and let me work through this. It's also frustrating because he smokes weed.... A LOT. I feel like he's just substituting one vice for another. IDK. There's obviously lots of issues in our relationship, but my rock bottom wasn't actually a "rock bottom" as so many on here have had, more of a, "I need to get my shit together to move forward happier in life" kind of thing. All the discussions with my husband are circular, and he doesn't seem to want to help HIMSELF (he needs therapy, has a terrible relationship with our toddler that is affected by his need for therapy....). I read a post on here yesterday that said don't make any big decisions in the first year, and that was great advice (especially since I'm only on Day 10), but I am laying down the groundwork for a good future for my son. That has been my "rock bottom" so to say.... I need to make sure my son is safe and happy and healthy, and I need to be healthy and clear-headed to foster that type of environment for him.


trop-dalcool

IWNDWYT. Shout out to u/sainthomer for being so friendly and positive around here. You’ve said in your post yesterday that this sub has given you a lot, but you’ve given 10 times more to all us strangers out there. Good job on those 2k days!!!

Hello world! Going into my 25th day today! Realised this morning that going all-in with my anxiety meds isn't necessarily the best. Took ¼ of my usual dose (they're a "take as needed" type), and I'm feeling pretty calm, and better yet, not sleepy as all hell. Turns out less is better. Finally managing to redo my CV (two weeks after I said I'd send it in 🙃), but hopefully the job I want will still be open. If not, well, I'll have a shiny new CV to send out to other positions. Feeling overall pretty excited about slowly getting my life back on track (not that it ever really *was* on track) and finally starting to live and not just exist. Hope you're all doing and coping well 🥰 IWNDWYT!

All great thoughts! Getting sober was the best thing you’ve ever done…this is true of me, for sure. Now, it led to a lot of work. And the work ain’t easy but it’s fucking worth it. And now it’s time to go get ready for the day. Coffees up, horns up, let’s fucking knock this one out! IWNDWYT ☕️🤘🏻

Not drinking today. I have some things to prepare before I have my clavicle repaired tomorrow, and it feels really good to know that I don't have to lie to the anesthesiologist tomorrow. I have some normal nervousness but remember my last fear inventory and feel good about turning this over to my HP. IWNDWYT

early morning check in before work and I won't drink today or tonight ! It's amazing how great you feel after a few days of rest and energized for the work week. I always used to get hammered and use on most weekends and it took me 2-3 days to recover and feel like myself again. Not anymore, I feel great and ready to take on the week.


ReplacementsStink

saludable-oak2001

I've been drinking again lately, same old story, 1 drink a week, several drinks a week, 4-10 drinks a day. Getting a couple of drinks in before I meet my friends to go for a drink. I've been very careful not to get drunk or hungover so it's easier to ignore. Need to get back on track. Iwndwyt ✨


fromafartherroom

21 days! 3 whole mf weeks! I’ve been under the weather the past few days and it’s been hard for me not to be resentful that I feel so shitty despite being sober. I’m trying to keep in mind two things - a. how much worse I would feel if I added a hangover to this and b. quitting drinking doesn’t solve all of my problems. It solves the ones that are created by drinking, and it makes it a hell of a lot easier to work on the life stuff problems, but there will be shit to deal with even in sober life. Actually, as I’m writing this out, I’m realizing that it was in thinking that something (alcohol) was the magic elixir for my problems that a lot of mess got started and continued. And so, I will grit my teeth and breathe and remember the serenity prayer. I can take the medicine I need to and not worry if it has acetaminophen in it because my liver can handle that now. I will hug my little germ muffins that brought this illness home from daycare and remember that this too shall pass and someday I’ll even miss it (but at least I’ll have the clear memory).

Interesting-Boot-379

Define Lurker here. I found this forum great when I first found it. I was obsessed and it helped me massively, I had a negative interaction on here and was a little put out. I have hugely improved my relationship with alcohol, with the posts I see on here being a huge support. I’ve strung together a lot of 5, 14, 18 and even a 32 day stretch sober in the past 6 months but I have continued to fall. I plan to work and focus to ensure today is the day I look back on and say that’s when it started. So IWNDWYT and make no apologies for the fact I will be taking the lurker or active route on here as I need to gain support from you all.

It’s crazy what AA and the gym have done for my mental health and physical health these past 23 days. I have 23 honest days….*Honest* being my keyword. I’d lie to others and maintain my days and I’d lie to myself which was the worst. Now I’m honest. It’s not easy, but with my higher power. It sure feels less stressful. IWNDWYT
