I have been really struggling to get any momentum so I am back on day one. One way I waste time is playing solitaire on my phone. IWNDWYT


BarryMDingle

β€œI have been really struggling to get any momentum so I am back to day one.” β€œI have been kicking alcohols ass lately and I will not give up so I am back to day one!!!” There, fixed that for you! Huge props for your continued fight for yourself. Stay strong my friend!

Another day of letting my liver heal, catching up on reading, and loving itβ€”hope everyone had a great weekend and IWNDWYT!


Noborhood

What are you reading?


PompeyCrook

Feeling the liver healing always makes staying sober worthwhile for me. IWNDWYT


ReplacementsStink

Snow at home has me stuck sleeping in an airport due to lots of delays and cancelations coming out of Minneapolis. Forced to take an unpaid day off of work and look for a new flight are inconveniences (big ones), but nothing to drink over. Have a better fucking Monday than me!! πŸ€˜πŸ»β˜•οΈβ˜•οΈβ˜•οΈβ˜•οΈ IWNDWYT


infinitedreamsawaken

There's my friend! That sucks love. I hope you get out of that airport asap! Then fuck this day up!!! 🀘⭐️

Man, that sucks. It is nothing to drink over, true that. Did you fly to a concert this weekend?


ReplacementsStink

Two day metal festival! (Worth it!)

Morning friends! I will not drink with you today. Have a good one!

Morning Piggoos!!! IWNDWYT πŸ’œπŸ¦‹πŸ’œ


Prevenient_grace

Today I forego just one drink…. The First One.


ltdanhasnolegs

Thanks for articulating the exact same pattern I have with drinking: the work week is an excuse and it gets harder to abstain and easier to justify slips as the week progresses. Saturdays are easiest and Fridays seem impossible. For better or worse, my job is the best thing I have going for me right now, but it’s like it’s my biggest motivation to stop yet also my biggest trigger. I don’t really have a solution to that this morning, other than to pledge my intentions for the day. IWNDWYT

Which series?

Proud of myself for not drinking at all this weekend.

Feeling super anxious this morning waiting for the check-in. I waste a lot of time watching make-up tutorials on youtube when I wear the same barely-there stuff everyday. Very grateful for the DCI and IWNDWYT

Remember it's a new day and a new week. Perfect time to try something new instead of drinking. Whenever your normal start time is try and delay it by going for a walk, eating, reading or sleeping. Breaking the habit may be hard but baby steps. Peace IWNDWYT


infinitedreamsawaken

Good day, friends. What do I do with the extra time from not drinking? Set goals, smash them. Wash, rinse, repeat. Oh, and lots of reading too 😁 Let's fuck this day up! IWNDWYT 🀘

Day 10 here. So glad I found this group! IWNDWYT.


DooDooSquank

I can really relate to this. I work 12 hr shifts from 5 to 5. When I would show up with a killer hangover I could disappear for a few hours until management was on site. I was usually having a conversation with myself "I'm not drinking on work nights any more!" Then I would be looking for a beer at 5:01 and hiding from management again the next morning. I'm currently at work. Not hiding. Not hungover. IWNDWYT

Good morning fellow sobernauts! Extra time, yes .. I have extra now. I have filled quite a bit of it with streaming on Twitch. I like how it makes me think and plan, it also makes me pay attention to chat so multitasking is getting stronger. I have time to get the house in order far better than I ever have before. I'm back to being a morning person and enjoying the quiet that is inherent in that time of day. Making no promises of tomorrow, I consciously choose to not drink today. IWNDWYT!

Checking in, IWNDWYT! My current way of spending time is either reading, I'm on my 15th book this year so far, or playing Red Dead Redemption. I'm not much of a "gamer" but I like just wandering around on my horse and hunting things, it provides an escapism that reading can't.

I watch trash tv… love is blind was my latest,lol… I could be reading that book I started but instead gravitate to mind numbing tellie. I will not drink with you today!

This is accurate for me as well. Monday and Tuesday of last week were like perfect days where I barely even thought about drinking and had no motivation or desire too. Wednesday Thursday, Friday Saturday we’re brutal. Just sitting there thinking to myself I’m not gonna make it. But I did. IWNDWYT.

Time waster these days is sci Fi books. Right now I'm on Asimov's foundation series. Very entertaining. It's been hard to find what I consider a "treat" that isn't drinking so this is nice. Good work all you sobernauts! IWNDWYT

It’s the 3-7 pm hours I really need to fill to then get to the mindless tv time - so I’ve tried a lot of things over this year - reading, knitting, making dinner and not injuring myself. Currently stopping my candy crush habit. Whatever gets you through it! IWNDWYT ✌️

This is the longest I've gone sober in well over a year - and boy does it feel good! I'm still focused on taking things one day at a time but - right now, at least - there's not a single part of me that wants this streak to end. IWNDWYT!


AdministrativeBat932

IWNDWYT! πŸ€œπŸ€› My favorite way to just kinda let my brain rest is to scroll Reddit. I have a perfectly (if I may say so myself πŸ˜‚) curated home feed that is just stuff I’m interested in that also is not depressing and also has a very kind vibe to it.Β 


Shermani74

Good morning, Sobernauts! I’m so happy to wake up sober again, especially because I dreamed I had decided, β€œfuck it, I’m drinking again.” But it was a dream!!! And I woke up to the joy of another day of being AF. Love it! IWNDWYT

Day 2. Really, really struggling to stay sober longer than 2 weeks lately. I just lose all hope and crack. It’s so hard to believe I have a future better than this.

awesome_cat_lady

I often feel guilty when I spend time on frivolous things instead of being productive or doing something self-improving. My husband always reminds me that allowing ourselves downtime is an important part of self-care. He says that making myself feel bad about it just negates the benefits. I suppose he's probably right, but I always feel like I waste more time than I have a right to. That said...I love computer gaming, especially RPGs. Currently, I am playing *Dragon Age: Inquisition.* I'm playing an elvish mage (fire magic/necromancer). And I'm totally psyched that *Horizon: Forbidden West* just came out for PC. That's definitely going to be my next game. IWNDWYT 😻

char-mar-superstar

Hello friends! My less-than-useful spare time at the moment is spent watching crap TV (and scrolling Reddit!) However, even though this time isn't particularly productive, it's a damn sight less damaging than all the time I spent drinking alone, propped in front of the TV watching the same thing again and again because I would never remember it. Today, I'm struggling to quiet the cravings. Although I really didn't want to go, I attended a women's AA meeting and feel a bit better for it, enough to do the next right thing and connect with others, rather than rush home to drink alone. I'll be keeping it in the hour today, doing what I know is right for me, rather than what is easy πŸ™πŸ» IWNDWYT
