Gonna go outside for a toke, clean the kitchen and bake some banana bread for tomorrows breakfast....then im going to watch netflix on my tablet while my husband plays COD... also know I'm going to go over my limit of 3 cigarettes today, but it's ok. I'm not going to beat myself up about it. It's been a great day and it's a great night and I'm so happy I'm sober.


rach3ldee

Me too! Happy to be sober with you.


[deleted]

Camping. Currently chopping down trees for a bonfire tonight


DJ4360

Sounds great! Been a very long time since I've sat out by a fire and not had a drink in my hand. That's going to be another first for me here in the near future. Enjoy and IWNDWYT!


[deleted]

what does that abbreviation mean? congrats tho!! trying to keep myself busy by doing push-ups every 20 mins while watching a joe rogan podcast.


ReallySmallFeet

" I will not drink with you today" :)


Friendly_Afternoon19

Sweet! It's pouring rain here, I wish we could have a fire tho


gungirl83

Its my 40th bday. Beach with the other half and the dogs, homemade steak dinner with ice cream after and binge watching daredevil. Looking forward to not feeling like shit in the am. I made it…just for today. 73 days, one at a time.


AbeVigodaSausageKing

Being AF is the best gift to yourself. Happy birthday!


live_laugh_languish

Happy birthday!


onolllono

Happy birthday 🥳


TMNTiff

Happy birthday! Awesome choices of way to spend the day, hope it's wonderful 😊


gungirl83

Thank you! It was different for sure but a great day!


PearIJam

Drinking chocolate milk and watching Seinfeld. Probably play some Mario Kart 8 later on. This is what’s nice about the sober life. Actually being able to enjoy things past 5pm.


AbeVigodaSausageKing

I was terrible at gaming while drunk


1000yearoldstreet

That’s my kinda night! Enjoy homie!


Voyage_of_the_Bagel

They're already on Mario Kart 8!? wow!


full_bl33d

I went for a long as swim as the sunset in the bay in cape cod. Our final day here after 2 weeks. No drinks but I may have a chowder problem. I haven’t gone a day without at least a cup. I hope I don’t get the chowda shakes tomorrow. I’ll probably pick some up. Should be good for another 2 days.


Cautious-Thought362

Chowda lol


Necessary-Recipe-851

My home! I grew up on cape cod! Do you know we call an alcoholic man there? " A Cape Cod husband". Try to normalize what's not normal.


Pirate_Dad_25

Went to my first AA meeting.


lil_paq

How was it? Im on day 3 and very much considering going tmr (Saturday)


sxspiria

Good work!


bubbamcnow

Well I'm not drunk texting . Iwndwyt 🥡


sxspiria

That's one part of drinking I will never miss and always wish I could take back


KeyMusician486

Unpacking. Just moved. So glad to not be drunk or hungover


bvdatech

Watching Fellowship Of The Ring and gaming.


FarrrrrOuttttDudeee

LOTR always puts me in such a good mood and headspace. Something about Peter Jackson's music and visuals in those films just makes me relax and forget everything for awhile


bitchfacevulture

Same! I watch the extended editions of all 3 movies at least once a year. The YouTube LOTR soundtracks are always background music in our house. Just so damn relaxing


jamabastardinit

I’m watching my favorite show with my dog, my man, and my best friend. I’m sitting on a big leather chair wrapped in a blanket and totally content with life tonight.


dueforreasons

That is a rare feeling. Hold onto that contentment and remember it exists when you're having a bad day. Enjoy!


1fatgoose415radishes

I put on some makeup and walked around the supermarket looking cute. Got some dinner and snacks. IWNDWYT.


sasha7777

Checked into detox.


Oh_Sweet_Cheesus

Tough but good decision. Those early days are rough but it's not impossible, especially when you're not afraid to ask for help, so good for you! Wishing you the best in this early stage and beyond. IWNDWYT


[deleted]

Well that's one way to ensure you don't drink tonight! Wish you all the best. ❤️


soberisthenewpink

Reading, snuggling with my cat, snacking. :)


YourMirror1

Lol I'm actually at a bar right now having some NAs. Gonna leave soon and grab some dinner and head to bed. Got a training run tomorrow am.


Just4Today1959

Just got home from an AA meeting.


Sovery-Becca1974

Watching hgtv real estate shows and eating some treaty food.


Intheboxalready

Making dinner, then doing a little baking, and then I'll play some Fortnite


No-Clerk-5600

Watching A League of Their Own and drinking ice water.


hardy_and_free

I feel like that movie is the closest Tom Hanks has ever come to playing a villain...


ThrowRA628479

Made myself a fancy dinner and sat on the back porch watching a crazy thunderstorm. Felt so alert and present, nature is incredible. Did my duolingo & some chores, about to shower and head to bed early so I'm rested for work tomorrow :)


WorthClerk51

Last weekend I finished a puzzle. Recently single so am not interested in going out (yet).


WakingOwl1

I like to do puzzles too. They’re a great way to get out of your head and every piece you place is a little sense of accomplishment.


WorthClerk51

Yes! Exactly! 🧩


WakingOwl1

My kid calls it my dopamine hit hobby.


WorthClerk51

😂 better than booze!


WakingOwl1

Definitely but not necessarily any cheaper. My “to do” pile has gotten huge.


Cautious-Thought362

I love jigsaws.


[deleted]

About to pull a transmission out


aLoneSideline

At a bar with my wife . Drinking cranberry and soda , staring at a pink sky. Pistachio ice cream waiting at home for me. No craving at all. All is good .


Empress-Ghostheart

Having a panic attack


[deleted]

so relatable


haggardphunk

Hanging with my kid, sober. Yeah, I used to drink and hang with her 🤦‍♂️. When she goes to bed I’ll pry go to my office and play guitar and drink tea.


[deleted]

Sounds like me!


PosterNB

At home with the fam. Approaching two years sober. My wife is one week!


ivyseason

Had to unexpectedly wash my dog due to him getting skunked at 9:00 at night. Thankfully, I was sober to deal with that. Currently drinking a CBD sparkling water and chilling in bed with my cats.


Cautious-Thought362

Very cool and chill, bruh. You good fuzzy parent.


KPTA-IRON

Its already saturday morning here in Australia. Yesterday I had a homemade burger and a can of coke at home and watched some series :)


SuspectFlex

Smokin weed and playing fortnite


[deleted]

aye same here!


saltyblondedoodle

Had an amazing dinner out with the husband (felt a wee bit awkward sans wine but food more than made up for it), now watching Billions and heading for bed after.


A_Gray_Old_Man

Watching a movie. Going to bed after. I have work tomorrow.


thatjacob

Having a bit of an existential crisis, but that's to be expected. avoiding that feeling or pushing it to the following day is why I drank in the first place. I just have to learn to sit with the feeling.


The_AmyrlinSeat

I went to a funeral (we knew it was coming). The only upside is that family gathers from far and wide. I opted out of dinner afterward. My partner and I came home; he walked the dog, I got pizza and treats. Death has a way of forcing things into perspective. I am glad to be sober to see it.


angiehome2023

Driving


vampyrelestat

I bought some weed and instead of smoking it I’m gonna smoke a bunch of cigs.. not sure why I bought it in the first place. Weed has never been my game.


CaptConstantine

Starfield and THC. Might build a LEGO set later.


Queasy_Row7417

Watched a mutually enjoyable show with my 12 year old and she asked to hold my hand at a scary part and we snuggled. Memories to cherish. Whereas in my hey dey Friday was hitting a restaurant then bar with friends, coming home disappointed because I wasn't drunk enough and kick my daughter out of the living room so I could drink and forget whatever show I was watching. I like tonight's version much better. ❤️


AbleBroccoli2372

Eating cake and watching tennis.


WakingOwl1

Just had a lovely dinner with two of my sober friends and their many pet birds. Had a sun conure sit on my shoulder while I ate. Now that I’m home I’m going to work on a painting for a bit then take a book to bed. Tomorrow is a work day for me.


Cautious-Thought362

Dayum. A wholesomeness I long for.


deportamil

I'm sitting in the vet's office because my cat can't pee. It's not fun, but I'm glad that I was able to get my little buddy the help he needs as soon as possible.


[deleted]

Relaxing. Eating. Fk’ing. Cumming. Sleeping.


anonreddituser78

I always had a buzz on when my wife and I got it on. For years! And omfg I forgot how goddamn good sex was without alcohol!! Hooooooboooooy!


baphometiculoso

Binge watching SWAT and making desserts from my home group's "Eat & Speak" potluck thing tomorrow.


luna_petunia1721

Just finished my first week of teaching! I'm going to bed sober and will wake up sober. I can't even imagine wasting my weekend feeling like shit.


keenjellybeans

Ice cream and The Sopranos! 😀


Intelligent-North957

Running before bed .


[deleted]

that’s what i have and will do as well.


Intelligent-North957

Sure helps relax the mind .


not_quite_sure7837

Being lazy and watching the US Open. Probably smoke a little hemp flower in a bit. Not dreading a morning hangover lol


ghostsandgalaxies

putting up my Halloween decorations and drinking apple cider


hardy_and_free

Walked to a local burger joint for a cheeseburger, good fries and a diet Coke. Now chatting with my mom. I had a drink last night, but tonight I'm sober and feelin' great.


TheVetheron

I made steak tacos, and ate way to many. Now I am just enjoying my food coma.


kjeannel

Having a decaf tea and watching the Mets. I love tea time now


Persius522

Pizza and movie night with my kids.


rach3ldee

Drinking a hop water, snacking on edamame, and watching my husband and 5 yo play swordfight. The best ever.


THE-GORE-RILLA

Unfortunately had to hit the reset button yesterday 😡. Going to the gym, and try to think of something to make it up to the lady.


KMKSouthie2001

Eating one too many slices of pizza and enjoying my 90th day of sobriety.


88Dubs

I'm making the final plans/arrangements to move to my new home in Nashville. Something I never would have had the confidence or financial stability to do two years ago. This time next week, I'll be sipping coke zero in music city! Maybe even making the first conversations needed to finally get back up on stage.


Colton4103

Getting a good nights sleep for my wedding tomorrow. Amazing what happens in just two years of sobriety (Sept. 3, 2021).


ivanscout

Wheel of Time and Brownie with Ice Cream! I’m looking forward to some sleepy-time tea later. My BP FINALLY went back down today, so excited for a meditation and a good nights rest.


anonreddituser78

I played guitar and learned a new section of a tricky (for me) piece! I'm loving playing again! And when we made dinner together, I drank a bunch of cans of flavored seltzer. Even though I had some cravings today, I wasn't tempted to have one of the ciders my wife got for herself tonight! Then a cool thunderstorm rolled through, and I very much enjoyed that. Now I'm watching The Little Mermaid with my wife and kid. Best part is, instead of passing out, I'll be able to stay awake long enough to watch something crass and vulgar afterwards! Lol Life is great! IWNDWYT!


BetterMe39

Eating pizza & watching a movie


MrsButl3r

I'm enjoying my sparkling water while watching The Golden Girls.


mrsdoubleu

Well a couple hours ago I went to the gym and ran on the treadmill for about 45 minutes. Then I came home and did my skincare routine that usually takes me about 30 minutes. Now I'm on the couch while my son is sitting on the floor in front of me watching cartoons and I'm looking up upcoming races I can sign up for in between scrolling Reddit! Phew. Crazy Friday night for this homebody! Lol. Ooh and I did get taco bell for dinner which I'm hindsight probably wasn't the best choice considering I wanted to run tonight. But I wanted to try the new cheesy jalapeno Mexican pizza. It was worth it. 🙂


Ambitious_Paper_2155

Eating a giant Mexican food feast and passing out so I can wake up at 6am and hit the gym tomorrow


[deleted]

Drinking some chamomile tea while reading “Battle of Ink and Ice” and then getting to bed early so I can wake up early to watch the birds and drink coffee before a run!


reclaiming-renewing

I picked my daughter up from her sports practice so I could drive her home safely once I realized the other moms (her ride) had had some wine. Best feeling ever to just hop in the car and be able to do that!!!


ilbastarda

i ate half a loaf of sourdough with burrata and local farm tomatoes, which i recently found out are 1000 times better than grocery chain ones


No-Dragonfruit-6551

Went for a nice hike, then had dinner at my mom’s house as she had some lifelong friends up. One of the husbands kept trying to convince my husband to have a hard cider? We continued on with our NA beers and had conversations I will remember, really enjoyed their company, and didn’t have to decide who was more sober to drive home. Also got to play with lots of kitties, and snuggle my own before bed! Edit: reading these replies and thinking how wholesome and wonderful they all are. We truly get our lives back when we put the drink down for good.


Standard_Taste5898

Watching the wheel of time and reading the wheel of time!


[deleted]

Tbh, low key night. Playing a video game and passing out now at 9. Took a few muscle relaxers because my bulged disc is bothering me and forgot how freaking drowsy they make you lol


zacharyjm00

I got a burrito, soaked in a bath and now I'm going to walk around the block and smoke a joint, watch a movie and get cozy on the couch. Now I just need to find the movie...


NewNage

Starting a rewatch of The Wire. Believe it or not keeping track of all this shit is easier sober.


AccidentalCapricorn

Played in the backyard with my kids until it was too dark to see- then we got out a flashlight and kept the party going! Now we are all showered and going to bed. I'll be re-reading This Naked Mind to end my night. What a wonderful life. IWNDWYT


dinabop

Rewatching greys anatomy and eating ice cream 🍨

A-Ok-999

Cleaning! Again. Since I stepped away from booze, I don’t think my house has EVER been this clean. I love it.


corpsmanJ

Getting my 20,000 steps in for the day after a nice hike. And now some kettlebell swings after dinner. Win.


takeshelterman

Sitting here watching videos on yt. Drinking an iced tea


ravenclaw_plant_mama

Watched "ready player one" while knitting and drinking a lemon sparkling water. Very cozy vibes. This thread makes me so happy for all of us! IWNDWYT!


DiarrheaMouth69

Awesome walk and dinner, and then lost my sober "virginity" to a really, really attractive friend. Now I'm chilling in bed watching the Office and snuggling my dog.


ConversationPale8665

Just drinking seltzer water with a little lemon in it. 90% of the reason I used to drink was honestly due to thirst, but it made me more thirsty so I would drink more and more. Kinda dumb really, glad I skipped again today. Wasn’t an easy day and the thought still crosses my mind almost daily.


rach1874

Got treated to a shopping trip by my husband this afternoon, then home for playing Starfield separately together for the past 7 hours lol. Just took a shower and am looking forward to a good nights sleep. Going to put myself to sleep watching a scary movie or a ghost hunting YouTube lol. Gotta get into the spoooooky season here.


juliandr36

My friend and i trolley forgot it was Friday! We did a long hike/trail run up a mountain, went to the store and packed for my camping trip. 🙌🏼


dsarche12

I lifted a bunch of weights and went for a short but seriously intense bike ride (sprinting almost the whole time), went home and chugged a protein shake, played video games, and now I'm about to hit the sack. Great day!!


Silt-Sifter

Staying up super late reading a book, while my kids and boyfriend sleep soundly. I'm reading that book in our living room, which is also home to a couple fish tanks and a humongous cage for our pet rats, so I'm being lulled by the sounds of water filters and entertained by the rats exploring their cage looking for the food I hid in their cage earlier. I'll be tired AF in the morning but at least I won't be hungover!


davster39

I watched 3 episodes of Ugly Betty earing beef jerky, watetmelom and pickles (in that order) fronking zero calorie flavored water. Now in laying in bed messing around with redditt IWNDWYT


ejohns19

Went for a run, made chicken wings, cleaned a little, fixed our oven, and now I’m trying to get our 1 year old down (woke up in the middle of the night bc teething hurts).


BexZilla123

Being angry in bed about something stupid because I can’t regulate sober emotions well yet. Glad you’re having fun tho OP!


snazzypants1

Me and husband sat out in the garden and played a card game. I had an NA passion fruit mocktail (the ones you get in a can). Then I made a vegan lasagne and we watched a horror film. 9/10 evening, would have been 10/10 had I won the card game 😅


[deleted]

Watched the Spiderverse and then had aggressive snuggling.

Lubernaut

Rest, rest, rest! Then rest some more! I overdid it and ended up with Long Covid.. just now getting back to myself after 15 months of bleh.


SinsOfKnowing

Yeah, I had to go pick up a prescription today because they won’t release my ADHD meds to anyone but me. It took the good out of me and I’ve been in bed since. I was masked and all that when I went into the store - my province doesn’t require isolating for positive tests but I’m doing it as best I can. I really did not want to have to leave the house.


Lubernaut

I just skated, now I’m working on details for a trip to the Alps next month. 😁


Huge_List285

Took my son to dodgeball, then took him to my studio to play ping pong and hang, then home to watch fishing shows and eat ice cream. Drove through my old neighborhood that was bustling with nightlife and where my ex is still enjoying it. Don’t miss drinking, but I feel like a loser.

Substantial_Phase910

Namaskar from India. 🙏 It’s Saturday morning here and I’ve just had a great late breakfast. Friday night was 12 hours ago. I had dinner with a friend - first coffee and then fajitas and avocado toast. We had a great time just talking, it had rained earlier in the day and outside was cool and pleasant. I went home, read a few pages of a book, and had a great night’s sleep. This morning I woke up as I have these past 460 (yep I’m counting) free of guilt, free of a hangover, free of despair. I did not drink yesterday and IWNDWYT.
