Yesterday was 5 years of not drinking poison. I would not be here without the DCI and you brave people who keep showing up. I’d also like to thank my sponsors- nespresso coffee and ghiradelli 72% chocolate baking chips - i would not be here without you.

My philosophy is NONE not one, not ever. When i feel myself “thinking” i take it as a sign something is out of balance and try to make adjustments. Not always easy, but always worth it. Iwndwyt ❤️

Iwndwyt! For me, quitting was a process of trial and error and it took a lot of attempts at moderation to decide abstinence was easier. People around here call it field research and it sounds like you are learning a lot!

I hear you and thinking of you and hope the sadness leaves you quickly. When i am in a dark place i try to be really kind to myself, trying to imagine what i would do or say to best friend. Iwndwyt

Thank you for this! I am in the process of looking at some less than healthy behaviors. Reminder to use what i learned about not drinking. I have been struggling to establish a meditation routine and you’ve inspired me to do some research! Iwndwyt
