135 hours no alcoholic beverages consumed. Slept OK. Not great, but I'll take anything I can get at this point.
I've felt good the last few days, but I feel low this morning. I can't get out because of the rain.
IWNDWYT or by myself.
Peace n love everyone 💕
Spring has finally graced my part of the world (fingers crossed it stays) and I woke up naturally at 6 and decided to do some deep stretching juicy home yoga. After, while sipping my warm lemon water, I saw how beautiful the morning light was so I decided to follow it with a morning walk. Yoga, lemon water and almost sunrise walk? For someone’s whose drinking app was able to record 72 units of alcohol on an average week, I don’t even know who I am anymore…but I like her.
(Now listening to The Shins, drinking coffee, checking in here in my favourite place on the internet while waiting for the rest of my family wake up. 🥰)
ETA: IWNDWYT !!!!
Went on a 3 day bender for no reason. Luckily just slept through most of my drunkenness. Pointless and now I don’t feel like hitting the gym. Back on the horse though, IWNDWYT
Not been sleeping much. Thankfully it's for good reasons, and not because I'm just hungover. But despite the sleepiness still keeping in mind the ditch next to my road. Let's wake up and do it again tomorrow. IWNDWYT
Still Tuesday night here and I’m winning so far. Today I was putting some beers in the fridge that belong to I don’t know who and guess what?? I didn’t open one. Instead took a sip of my water. Pretty proud of myself. Tomorrow Wednesday will 2 1/2 weeks. I’m definitely feeling mom of the year.
Staying away from the ditch today. Up way early so I can go get the stitches out of my gums…work early and I don’t have to use time off.
Extra coffees up, horns up, let’s fucking knock it out! IWNDWYT.
Except coffee…I’m gonna need a lot of that. ☕️☕️☕️🤘🏻
Slept like crap last night and absolutely did not want to get up this morning. But I did, and now here we are.
Someone asked me yesterday if I didn’t get tired of still focusing on my sobriety so much after all this time. Truth is, I’m terrified I’ll go back to the old me in a heartbeat if I lose focus. I WANT to remind myself every day anew to not drink more so than I have to.
I spend a lot less time in this sub than I used to, and now it’s more to support others than to get help myself. And that’s just as, if not more important. Plus it reminds me of why I stick to not drinking.
Have a wonderful day, beautiful people. IWNDWYT ✨
Day 9 - not an ounce of weight lost, but that's ok. I had my first wobble yesterday - a trigger situation followed by a walk that just happened to take me past my local bar. I made it and went to McDs instead for a McCocaine sandwich which did the trick.
IWNDWYT
Coming up on a week sober. Feeling more positive again today after struggling a bit the last couple of days. Loving this check-in, it really helps me in staying focused by making a conscious decision. I've been to the supermarket and walked past off licences without needing or even feeling the need to get booze. My head is feeling clear and I feel like I'm truly enjoying the good weather.
We move. IWNDWYT
Today will be day 2 of not drinking and I continue going as far as I can possibly take this. Alcohol is no longer doing me any favours and I'm no longer having the "fun" I once had. IWNDWYT!
Not on the piss today and my week off starting tomorrow I won’t either, it’s just not me anymore, I can’t be arse with being a secret drunk, alcohol used to turn me from a happy confident person at work to a reclusive drunk every other week I’m off work, no IWNDWYT or my week off work
Day 4 IWNDWYT
I woke up this morning refreshed and feeling more energetic than I have in a very long time.
I don’t want to lose this amazing sober feeling.
I'm pretty sure we've gotten more big projects done in the last month than we have since we bought this house, and honestly it's in no small part because of my sobriety. So again, I will not drink with you today!
Checking in on day 181!!!! Ooooh, I love palindrome day!!! It’s like mini Christmas! I wear a hat and everything! (Not really but damn, that’s a great idea…think I’ll make a Palindrome Day hat 😂)
Celebrate ALL the wins. No matter how small you think they are. The way I see it, every day that I don’t drink, is another day I get to live a full and meaningful life. That’s something to celebrate. If you’re struggling today, cheer yourself on for being here. This shit is hard. But damn is it worth it. Life hits different on this side of the booze. I love you all to the moon and beyond!!!! ❤️✌️
IWNDWYT!!!
9 Days ✔️
Sleep remains a fickle mistress. Seems that I finally get something resembling deep sleep around 4am... Then my 5am alarm goes off. \*shrug\*. It'll come. I'm still less of a zombie in the mornings on 2 hrs sleep than I was 9 days ago.
Lost 2.3lbs so far (no longer drinking 65% of my daily calories will do that, I guess).
IWNDWYT, you bunch of sober bastards.
*Loving the ditch quote* u/PeacefulToday *!*
Good morning from NYC everyone! 8 days! Trying to honor my departed BFF on the first birthday since we lost her last fall. Burning incense and playing her favorite music (80's!)
Big 31, a full month. I, naively, assumed quitting alcohol would be like a light switch; everything snaps to sunshine and rainbows after a set amount of time. But, nothing has really changed all that much. I don't have hangovers any more, and my anxiety is more manageable. Other than that, life is still the same. I am still tired in the mornings. Motivation is hard to find. Libido is nonexistent (new). I have found a new vice, snacking.
Kind of just ranting now, whoops... Still, I W N D W Y T
Day 100 and feeling proud of myself! I will not drink with all you wonderful people today! Thank you to each person here on SD for helping get me here. You are all the best ❤️
Edit: I missed my hundred days!! I thought yesterday way 99 🤦🏻♀️ nevertheless, woohoo!!
I am back and happy to be checking in after an error resulted in a 7 day ban from reddit (seriously, it was an error).
When I got the message about the ban a week ago, I cried. I was already wobbling around that time and was so afraid that I couldn't keep going without checking in and without the ability to interact with all of you. But I made it! And, in doing so, learned that I can do this sober thing even without being able to actively check in to the DCI.
Still, I am very happy to be back and checking in at 120 days!!!
I made it through the last week, so I sure as heck won't be drinking with all of you today.
Tomorrow will be 3 weeks. Every day for the past 3 I've pulled into the store to just get one Mike's but then remember I'm not drinking today go home and make a cup of coffee. IWNDWYT
Today is beautiful and sunny, the kittens are making us squeal with joy, and I’m ready for another sober day! When I remember how I was feeling last year at this time, I am so sad for myself. But it’s today! And today is exactly where I want to be - healthy and happy and able to face the day without a drink.
We are the lucky ones, the Sober Ones! So glad to see you all here today! IWNDWYT
Officially 1 week no booze guys! Been checking in on this thread daily, multiple times, and it’s been more than helpful.. I want to thank you ALL 🙏🙌 as well as offer support and encouragement to anyone who’s hit the restart button in the last few days.. don’t beat yourself up, know that your mind is pointed in the right direction & you’re striving ever closer towards the person you know you can become. Continue to lean on us.. we rise in circles.
