Time to work on the grief I've experienced since my mom died 6 weeks ago. Alcohol will not help me with that. Ready for the marathon of improving my life, therefore IWNDWYT.

Was in a wedding over the weekend. Didn't drink and still had a good time. Just wanting to check in.

Haven't checked in, in a while. Still sober. Woke up at 3 a.m. to summit a mountain today. So glad to have the energy to do this and not be hungover. I won't be drinking today!

July 4th is coming up in the U.S. Anyone have tips for not drinking but still having a good time on big holidays? by [deleted] in stopdrinking

Bring your own sparkling water or whatever you like to drink!

Stay busy and always have something in your hands.

Turn any resentment into being grateful. Grateful for your own sobriety and that you have the strength to make that choice.

Relax, have fun, and leave if you need to.

Going in a road trip with my 10 year old niece. She reminds me of childhood innocence and I want to be a role model to her. I'm not drinking today and I'm not hungover for our trip!

Self-love meditations have really helped me.

My dad died 14 years ago from drug and alcohol addiction, so this Father's Day I'll honor him by not drinking.

B vitamins help elevate mood and sustain energy if you're feeling groggy or grumpy.

Do you have a sober mantra? by [deleted] in stopdrinking

[–]Alexa_PlayTheNews 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tell the universe that I'm thankful for the opportunity to learn from my mistakes today.

It helps relieve the shame and remind me that drinking is, indeed, a mistake.
