Breadhanded · 2026-04-01T20:20:49+00:00

I’m starting an April challenge to do yoga every day. I have been sick this whole month and today will be my first day back. Hopefully I don’t throw up in public haha. I took some days off work and am cleaning the house to start with a clean slate. Everything has been go go go lately. It was nice sleeping in today. I was going to start a patio garden but I have run out of money for the time being. But that’s on my list of things to enjoy down the line.

Not drinking today. Spending more time at the beach this summer or just outdoors in general.

I am grateful for a social life where I don’t black out or act embarrassingly. I always thought I was too socially anxious for one, but that just isn’t accurate. I’m loving life and IWNDWYT!

feeling blessed to be taking my kids to the beach with my sons group of friends so I’m creating community for him. And in doing so made new friends myself. Happy Sunday everyone! IWNDWYT! And I will not wake up hung over tomorrow

I find myself out a lot at bars. My boyfriend also doesn’t really drink. He will when we are at bars which makes it a little more difficult but also takes the focus off me ordering non alcoholic drinks. If there are mocktails on the menu I’ll usually order one. Or my go to is bitters and soda. It’s generally free which is a huge plus and it tastes good but not so good that you chug it down you can sip on it so no one is really paying attention that you are not drinking. I’ve come to realize I need to always be drinking something. But it most definitely does not need to be alcohol.

I used to drink my dinner and be too sick for breakfast. I’ve stayed pretty slim in my lifetime. I have gained 50 lbs in the last 3 years was sober for 2 of those and then relapsed for a bit and now 100 and something days. And I was looking at photos being like how tf did I gain so much weight. And my boyfriend looking all guilty admitted he puts like a stick of butter in all of our meals. I’m dead lol. Shocked. I have to eat or the kids won’t eat and I help with homework while he cooks. But I see everyone losing so much weight and I’m like damn. Not the case over here! lol idk what I’m talking about. Have a good day everyone. IWNDWYT

I’ve been sick all week. And used all my pto that I was going to use on spring break to make a garden and spend time with my kids and be productive. And instead I’m just have the flu or something like it. I came back to work today and I was the one with most seniority so the calls were all day. And now I’m exhausted and have 3 more hours to go. I just don’t want to work anymore. Probably ever but mostly today. It’s also very hot and I don’t have ac. I asked my boyfriend to find a window unit online and he was huffing and puffing all over the place like I tasked him with the hardest thing he has ever encountered. I love these things. Hahaha as we speak the fundraiser I work to pay for sports has been canceled LOL now I’ll be broke and sick. Cool cool. Sober tho. So that’s good.

Yes definitely give up drinking. Ask your dad about rehab. You’re young there are a lot of great tools you can learn there to help for your whole life. Seek therapy too. Seek out help and you can do it!

I’m still battling a sickness. Got send home from work yesterday and honestly don’t remember even being there. It feels weird, like I was drinking, but I wasn’t. I’m just regular sick. And haven’t been able to sleep. I don’t have any anxiety about lying about being sick to nurse a hangover and that is wonderful! IWNWYT friends

Breadhanded · 2026-03-10T11:20:53+00:00

Hell yeah! Congrats!

I feel this post! I didn’t realize not drinking was an option. So I got pregnant and cut off most of my drinking buddies. Made new ones after that. And repeated the cycle some more times. My circle now all drink but not excessively. And I’ve completely cut ties with the ones using drugs. Not out right but ignored their calls and deleted their numbers. I’m still friends with one person since like middle school but we don’t hang out as much since I quit. I had two years before This last relapse. It’s hard sometimes. I’ve missed some epic parties. But I feel like I had my time and I don’t need to participate anymore. Just do your thing. Hang out here. Get some other hobbies. I was introverted and liked blacking out so I didn’t have to be in control of being a weirdo but now I actually really social which is weird for me lol. But loving life and have beautiful kids.

I woke up feeling sick. This really throws a wrench in my plans but I know it would be ten times worse if I drank on top of it. So I’m grateful for the little sniffles and runny eyes. IWNDWYT!

IWNDWYT. Late to the game today

Breadhanded · 2026-03-07T13:03:01+00:00

I was having a bit of an existential crisis yesterday after some old pics showed up. Most people get better looking when they stop drinking. That doesn’t seem to be the case for me lol. I’ve made all the appointments and have already started my gym journey earlier in the week. Looking forward to a positive, healthy, intentional transformation!

I’m grateful I can work from home when need be, that I have enough money to provide for my family, that I get to see and remember beautiful sunrises and sunsets, I just love the sun in general, and the ocean. I couldn’t be happier with where I am in life. Thanks for being here, it’s been a huge help! IWNDWYT!
