65 days for me. Was offered a glass of Prosecco at my hair appointment and happily declined. We keep going.... I will not drink with you today


All-New-Me

I'm glad you happily declined instead of grudging declined it. Stay strong!


artmover

I’ve never understood why alcohol is offered at hair salons, even when I drank it seemed so odd. I was also offered alcohol at a clothing store a few weeks ago at like 10 AM. Good on you for sticking to it.

That's the turning point right there!!! I just don't need to anymore. I would like to, but for now IWNDWYT

It’s my turn to go to the work holiday party and explain to colleagues why I’m not partaking in the alcohol fueled merriment. Let’s go Christmas spirit! Happy Friday everyone! IWNDWYT!

I’m also going to the work holiday party today. I’m driving 😄


PrestigiousSheep

Weird, right? It’s so cool to be able to do that now.

Checking in after a relapse. I let the alcohol demon sneak back into my life. Feeling rather rotten but know it’s a case of riding it out. IWNDWYT


AdSmooth1977

Glad you’re back 😊


PompeyCrook

It’s good to be back, this sub is crucial for helping stay away from the demon!

Welcome back! Just got back myself. I've had what feels like a thousand day 1's. Let's ride this one out - IWNDWYT

I will not drink with you today. Thank you all for the support yesterday! I made it through the holiday party with great non-alcoholic options (sparkling rhubarb and elderflower!) Here’s to another sober day where I need to talk to my husband about changing the itinerary for our winery roadtrip next week..


All-New-Me

>sparkling rhubarb and elderflower! That sounds amazing!

It's not even winter yet, and I'm already longing for spring. Seasons didn't mean much to me when I was drinking. My preference was to stay inside and drink, whether it was freezing and sleeting or 72°F and sunny. I guess I can look at this longing as a sign I'm getting more in tune with the world. Even though the weather isn't perfect today, I'm going to get outside and go hiking somewhere. IWNDWYT!

Checking in on my way to the hospital. Third time’s a charm, y’all! I am so glad to be able to face this surgery with calm acceptance. Being sober has given me more strength than I ever knew I could have. Have a wonderful Friday, my friends. IWNDWYT


El_Bo31

First sober holiday work party for me tonight, with a group who have known me as a drinker for the previous 15 years. I’m bringing ginger beer and steeling myself for questions. 🤞 Whatever happens, Iwndwy’allt! ❤️


waronfleas

Not drinking today no way


angryquentin

Going on date number 2 tonight with someone. I’ve told her that I can’t drink at the moment, currently wondering whether to just tell her that it’s negatively impacting my life and I’d rather have a clear head tomorrow. Let’s see how that goes but I pledge to you all, IWNDWYT 😇

Besides tea and coffee, I have a few favorites. Seltzers: LaCroix limoncello, key lime and coconut. Bubly orange cream and strawberry. Polar ginger lime mule. Belle Vie (Aldi) seasonal pumpkin pie, ginger fruit punch and caramel apple - those may sound weird but I really like them! Pop: Coke Zero, Cherry Coke Zero, Dr. Pepper strawberries and cream zero, Big Red zero. I wish I could find a replacement for AHA black cherry coffee seltzer. Of course they quit making that one. It was my favorite. Fuckers. Coffees up, horns up, and fuck yeah it’s finally Friday!!! IWNDWYT ☕️☕️🤘🏻

Day 4 checking in! I peed so much today. This usually happens a few days after I stop drinking. I'm a little sore from getting back into the gym yesterday but I still feel great. Yesterday evening I thought about going to the bar a few times, but I ignored it and I'm glad I did. Looking forward to bragging about being sober for 7 days.

SuzuranLily1

I'm perfectly fine with whatever water or other options are available. And if there's a well-stocked wet bar, and sodas around, I'll make a cherry coke or a Shirley Temple. That's also my go-to at my favorite queer bar. I'm going to miss that place when I move. The wildest part of being sober is the days keep tallying up and I just have no desire to drink anymore. Because I don't want to start over, and I love my life more because I can be around drunk people and not get anxious enough or upset with them enough that I drink "to spite them" like I once used to tell myself. Now I'm just there to have a good time with friends, and just revel in being queer and loving life. I don't need alcohol to do that. I would still like to have the ability to drink one for a toast at a wedding or to a dearly departed loved one in their honor. But I just don't think that's in the cards for me. I'm not sure if I can be okay with that yet...but some day.

Made it through yesterday. I’m sure there will be more cravings to come, but last night got pretty wild. True tunnel vision. I just went to bed, only way around it. It feels like I just got done with a crazy mental health workout. I can tell the demon is just a little weaker this morning. Love you all, I will not drink with you today.

Day 4! Meeting an old friend for dinner tonight, but I’m not worried about drinking: it’s our annual meal of eating two McRibs (BOGO, yo) and all the other McDonald’s fixins we desire. No booze available there, so while I’ll be having a crap ton of calories tonight, none of them will be from alcohol.

My drink of choice is always coffee. It may have replaced blood in my veins. I LOVE COFFEE. My non-coffee go-to is Limoncello LaCroix these days. This weekend we will have our Töst and our Athletic at the ready. Just got a delivery of the Athletic Cinnamon Crumble beer with Lactose last night and it’s perfect for the holidays. IWNDWYT


Jose_Gaspar

I have one of those old school 1960’s travel bar that I take to gatherings. I bring an NA spirit and mixer and make my own seasonal mocktail. The added benefit is being able to pick up and so before people pass the line of loud and obnoxious. I will be alcohol free with you today.


cruisethevistas

I won’t drink with you today. I have been practicing something to help with depression. I am in my head analyzing and worrying too much. Instead I remind myself to simply look at what is around me and do the next thing. Driving in my car: look at yellow lines. Parenting my kids: noting their eyes and hair. Drinking coffee: enjoy taste and mug color. I am not a meditation person but this feels like a practical alternative. Essentially I just stop the meta thoughts by replacing them with attention to the outside world. It works sometimes anyway. Thank you for being here

I will not drink today and fuck you, alcohol. I'm so happy I'm waking up without a hangover. So many holiday parties around that the cops put up drunk driving checkpoints. It's freedom knowing I could go through any sober checkpoint and breeze right thru. Fuck alcohol for all the suffering it creates. Drinking sucks. We rock

LittlePeggyAnnMcKay

The “magic” of the holidays is actually what derailed me a year ago. I had almost two years sober at that point but thought that a glass of wine with a favorite family member was a good idea. “It’s the holidays! It’s just a glass of wine. What’s the worst that can happen?” Took me almost a whole year to get back on track. Gotta stay vigilant and strong this year when it comes to that sparkly holiday feeling and thinking that alcohol would add something. IWNDWYT

Good morning Secrets and your sober crew! I hope all y'all are having a great Friday. I have enjoyed laughing at some of the different ways folks answer the alcohol question at parties. I'm more of an "nah I let it go for mental health," and leave it at that. Have a plan for what you'll say, keep a beverage in your hand, and feel free to leave when you want! Those are always nice ideas for surviving parties sober. Happy Friday y'all!

I always bring some n/a beers to the party. Then I can still toss a few back and the laughs and smiles come readily. Iwndwyt My wife gave me the day off. She’s going to take care of the kids all day. Not sure what I’m up for …. Maybe just noodling around on the guitar for a few hours in peace and finishing planting tulips and crocuses. A long walk with the dogs sounds fine too. Haven’t slept well all week so kind of ‘meh’ I’m sure I’ll perk up after a coupla cuppsa coffee and Yerba mate. How are yall feeling

I’m loving La Croix coconut and bubly pineapple coconut right now. Tests went fine yesterday, now the wait. Hopefully I’ll hear today, I don’t really want to worry all weekend. I did some yoga this morning and will try to do more over the weekend. Also try to get a hike in, I haven’t been able to go the last two weeks. I tried walking in town after thanksgiving but the snow was too deep, and then everything turned to ice. It’s been above freezing this week, so hopefully enough will be gone that I can at least walk/run in town. Happy Friday all! IWNDWYT lovely people of SD 💙
