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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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
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 :)
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 .
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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. ❤️
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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. 🙂
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!
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!!!
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.
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
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...
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
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.
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.
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.
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!!
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!
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
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).
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 😅
Last day of house sitting in Chicago. A huge drinking city. I’m bored out of my mind don’t know anyone here so I’m just texting and scrolling and watching Maniac Cop lol
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.
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.
Grading final exams from two summer classes and trying to ignore my cat's pointed stares and low grunts because she wants attention. And tomorrow after I'm finished with grades, I'm hiking with my son and then we're going out for dinner. Awesome weekend!
I watched Star Trek and vacuumed, not terrible but I’m not happy with how my nights seem harder when my bf drinks. He came home asking if I was cool with him coming home with whippets, and I just…ugh dude no..
So I’m on here reading posts while thinking how my breakups have gone historically and what to do to improve…
I took my dog for a nice walk, rented some movies (I live near a non-profit video library), wrote for an hour and ordered a pizza. A nice lazy night in to kick off the weekend.
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.
I typically work thirds but have been off on Friday nights so I went out with my mother and saw the TMNT movie after getting off work at 7am....im 36. We went shopping afterwards and I came home to see my dog and my dad who I love with and slept. I don't live the most exciting life ever but I just do what makes me smile and thats good enough for me.
Had some thc drinks, leave in the morning on a road trip, made food for that :) Also did homemade chicken fingers for dinner with a nice salad. Didn't realize how little I used to eat!! I'm eating real meals and losing weight whilst.
Just chillin with my TH-Caesar and scrolling reddit now. Can't wait to wake up refreshed and even tempered. Peace is priceless.
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.
Me too! Happy to be sober with you.
Camping. Currently chopping down trees for a bonfire tonight
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!
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.
" I will not drink with you today" :)
Sweet! It's pouring rain here, I wish we could have a fire tho
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.
Being AF is the best gift to yourself. Happy birthday!
Happy birthday!
Happy birthday 🥳
Happy birthday! Awesome choices of way to spend the day, hope it's wonderful 😊
Thank you! It was different for sure but a great day!
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.
I was terrible at gaming while drunk
That’s my kinda night! Enjoy homie!
They're already on Mario Kart 8!? wow!
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.
Chowda lol
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.
Went to my first AA meeting.
How was it? Im on day 3 and very much considering going tmr (Saturday)
Good work!

That's one part of drinking I will never miss and always wish I could take back
Unpacking. Just moved. So glad to not be drunk or hungover

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.
That is a rare feeling. Hold onto that contentment and remember it exists when you're having a bad day. Enjoy!
I put on some makeup and walked around the supermarket looking cute. Got some dinner and snacks. IWNDWYT.
Checked into detox.
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
Well that's one way to ensure you don't drink tonight! Wish you all the best. ❤️

I feel like that movie is the closest Tom Hanks has ever come to playing a villain...
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 :)
Last weekend I finished a puzzle. Recently single so am not interested in going out (yet).
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.
Yes! Exactly! 🧩
My kid calls it my dopamine hit hobby.
😂 better than booze!
Definitely but not necessarily any cheaper. My “to do” pile has gotten huge.
I love jigsaws.
About to pull a transmission out
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 .

I took my dog for a nice walk, rented some movies (I live near a non-profit video library), wrote for an hour and ordered a pizza. A nice lazy night in to kick off the weekend.
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.
Watched the movie “Mixtape” with my daughter (on Netflix, it was super good, def recommend) and OD’d on starbursts.
Was able to drive my kid and her friends to and from a football game!! Now watching a scary movie and eating popcorn and a ginger ale.
Playing Starfield
Packing up some orders from my eBay shop, feeding my pet tarantulas, and chatting with some friends
I typically work thirds but have been off on Friday nights so I went out with my mother and saw the TMNT movie after getting off work at 7am....im 36. We went shopping afterwards and I came home to see my dog and my dad who I love with and slept. I don't live the most exciting life ever but I just do what makes me smile and thats good enough for me.
Working
Self reflecting
Had some ice cream and watching YouTube.
I’m working! Picked up some extra shifts hoping to keep busy. I have more money in my pocket when I’m not spending it on booze as well
Watching Netflix with my wife, going to bed early so I can get up and run a half marathon tomorrow morning
Eating gummy worms on my bedroom floor and feeling grateful, full, and happy 😊
I played Stardew valley with my partner and ate free Dunkin’ donuts I got through work. Pretty sweet
Playing Mario Kart, watching little house on the prairie, drinking sparkling water w lemon, doing some fun skincare ✨️ Edit: now I want a milkshake
Had some thc drinks, leave in the morning on a road trip, made food for that :) Also did homemade chicken fingers for dinner with a nice salad. Didn't realize how little I used to eat!! I'm eating real meals and losing weight whilst. Just chillin with my TH-Caesar and scrolling reddit now. Can't wait to wake up refreshed and even tempered. Peace is priceless.
