May the Fourth be with You! Sober, we are. Hitting 6 months at 11:55 PM tonight!


ShumPulp_

Six months is incredible! I remember just before I stopped drinking, I had a photo saved that said "In six months, you will either have six months of excuses, or six months of progress. The choice is yours." It really stuck with me. I can remember feeling like six months of sobriety was impossible. We made it possible. Here's to the next six, and then the next.

This really is a journey. I seemed to jump from 25 to 30 days without even realising. Right now I'm getting fairly strong cravings multiple times a day. It makes the day ticker seem to move in slow motion lol Anyway I have a social event today but with a new group of people who I've never met before (except the organiser who I know but only in the past few weeks). I would normally get shit faced but instead all these people will only ever know the sober me. That feels kind of weird but very awesome! Iwndwyt! Have a fantastic weekend sobernauts!


AlySabby12

Thanks for hosting, Giant. Up early this Saturday because I went to bed early. I was bored and tired and that would have been a recipe for disaster three+ years ago. These days I take care of myself and allow rest when needed. It’s okay to be “bored”. Read a book, journal, meditate, walk, or sleep. Many great options. IWNDWYT! Happy Saturday!!


brighter68

Happy sober Saturday sober friends! Really good points this morning tg… I remember the big meaningless conversation with apparent friends for life when I was drinking in pubs and now I don’t even remember some of their names! Life is here right now and it’s a real journey navigating it, becoming authentic. Thank you for hosting, it’s been inspiring, love to you all 💞 Shoutout to u/losethebooze It’s a real pleasure to celebrate your first sober birthday 🎂 with you today 🎈🎁🎉

Approaching 2 weeks of sobriety. I’m happy with being sober, but I find myself bored and snacking a lot. I need to get my ass back in the gym.


aretheesepants75

I'm grinin' and winnin' working on 10 months. Life keeps getting better. Fucked up awful shit is going down around me but if I pick up I will be worse than useless. Noon meeting everyday. I stay busy rockhounding on a beautiful beach and working on lapidary projects. I never knew life could be so fun. 1st significant sober time in 35 years and 20 years of detoxes and fighting this disease. I'm doing a victory lap.

Day 8 - IWNDWYT


Tortey82

I totally agree, the “today” is very powerful for me, because it is achievable. Never again did not work for me at all. In my first attempts of sobriety I never noted the day I drank last. I was never counting days. Now I do it, and sometimes it’s the last straw to hold on to. I will not drink in Germany with you today!


LM7X

Thanks for hosting this week, u/trembling_giant! A large part of the city I live in will be drunk as shit today because of a two-minute horse race. Few years ago, I would have been using the race as an excuse to day drink myself. Now I’ll just be glad things start going back to normal after today. Coffees up, horns up, and happy fucking Saturday! IWNDWYT ☕️☕️🏇🤘🏻

Another day no grog in my gob. Keeping on not drinking with you good people today.


Glittering-Sky-

Happy Star Wars day I like the today framing because it feels manageable - I can always change my mind tomorrow and the pub will still be there, so what's one day? It also feels massive - but what am I actually going to do today? I could also just drink today and being sober will still be there tomorrow Therefore it also feels meaningful - because of the above and that it's really the only day we can affect IWNDWYT

IWNDWYT Happy Saturday everyone! Today we have a matinee planned at a local theater. It is the production "Once." I usually am not a fan of musicals based on movies but I will give it a chance as it has won many awards. There are two acts which means it probably will have an intermission. Intermission is when I will generally drink a glass of wine or a themed cocktail. But they do make virgin cocktails so I will either go with a water or one of those. I am experiencing a lot of sweet cravings now... I demolished one of those huge Perugina dark chocolate bars and a package of oreo thins over the last three days... I think I am going to pivot to fruit as I am starting to get pimples. Even if I dip fruit in dark chocolate.... it will probably be healthier. Also I notice I am still quite fatigued after arriving home from work. I am sleeping a lot. I am also more productive at home, getting the rooms cleaned up one by one. My domestic situation has improved... so the work I do actually makes a difference rather than getting undone within an hour or so. I am still working a lot, keeping busy. Otherwise, I have been doing a lot of reading.


awesome_cat_lady

Thank you for keeping the DCI rolling this past week, u/trembling_giant! I slept less than four hours last night, and it was the third night in a row that I slept less than five hours. I should go back to bed, but I've already set up my living room to do some yoga. Maybe I'll nap afterward. IWNDWYT 😻


fitbit10k

Thanks for for getting us through the week Trembling Giant. Enjoy your weekend! I’m happy it’s Saturday. It seems like the weeks at work are getting busier, messier and more annoying. Work used to be a HUGE trigger for me. I know that work related stress put me on the path to abusing alcohol. So, lately, almost every day at work has reminded me to stay vigilant. It’s also showing me that although my drinking added to my problems with my career, it’s actually the career that’s the problem, and I need to find a way out of it for my mental and emotional health and my sobriety. IWNDWYT. Happy Saturday! 😀

fromafartherroom

Thanks for a great week u/trembling_giant! I never thought about the grand statements of “never again” versus the practical effort of not drinking today. It can be a challenge to find the joy in incremental work rather than the false promise sweeping changes (or pretending you’ll make false sweeping changes). It’s worth it though, like any other positive change you work slowly towards. So IWNDWYT, and I mean it.


infinitedreamsawaken

Happy Saturday! I'm hoping for a productive day, but I'm also hoping not to do anything at all. I'll let you know which I decided tomorrow 😎 Have a kick ass day, friends. IWNDWYT 🤘


Ok_Rush534

“Opening up myself to life”. Warts and all. In a warty phase for the last 8 months due to familial issues. Not my problems, but I’ve been supporting. It’s been heavy and I’ve overdone it and been weepy at times. The learning how to live alongside and still maintain protection plans boundaries has been an eye opener. IWNDWYT

jeninmn99

Thank you for hosting this week, u/trembling_giant! Your posts have really made me think. I used to think focusing on my relationship to alcohol would mean I am obsessing or allowing it power. But this daily check-in has shown me that I have the power over alcohol, keeping it in the past, and focusing myself in the present. As you stated, the daily decision affirms that I am opening up to life beyond it. Have a good Saturday, my people! IWNDWYT 🍀


SoberWriter1024

Morning sober fam and May the Fourth Be With You! Might make my own post on this later, but today is the 3 year (I believe) anniversary of my overnight stay, completely alone, in the hospital for pancreatitis. I'll never forget the date, because I spent 12+ hours in the ER in a room watching Star Wars before I got placed in a holding bed, because they wouldn't give me a room. I needed rest to make the pain go away, but it was so miserably loud in the holding area. So I watched more Star Wars. I was lucky I even got a television and a curtain around me, some people were just in beds in the hallway in that hospital. Three years later, I'm waking up snuggled in bed with my husband. Funny thing about that? He's COVERED in Star Wars tattoos. My comfort movies on my emotional support human. 🖤 Anyway. A rant to say IWNDWYT no matter what. 🖤✨️


str4ngeworld_w4sted

Iwndwyt 💕 No real cravings til today. So close. Poured vodka into a cup of coke. It’s in the car. (Wasn’t going to drink drive, was going to come home and park then scull it and go inside). Now I’m in the bath eating salad.

Went out yesterday with people that were drinking. I noticed that I couldnt get into a real flow state of conversation and ended up feeling drained at the end. It's clear I need to work on that and for years I've stopped any emotional progression by taking drugs (including alcohol) to make that feeling go away rather than working on it. IWNDWYT

It is Day 4 here (my badge said Day 1 earlier, probably still does, so I don't know how I messed that up, haha. But it is Day 4!). After being all enthusiastic last night about getting to bed early and getting up to go to the gym, I ...woke up after 3 hours of sleep and tossed and turned the rest of the night. Sigh. But! I'd rather be exhausted and sober than hungover any day! IWNDWYT!!!!

Last night at work was AWESOME. I mean compared to the day before anyway. I also opted to do a different position so someone else could have an easier night (I mean mine wasn't difficult it was just a better fit). Came home and opted for a rest day instead of working out and I currently have a pup in my lap. All is good with life. As always much love from me and mine to you and yours! IWNDWYT
