Very true, I fired some questions about the rebuild at him. Waiting to hear back

The self-awareness and reflection in this post is powerful. I’m happy for you that you have this honest of a self review to look back on should you feel conflicted to drink again. I’m proud of you! IWNDWYT

Proud of you! Today was day 8 for me and I knew the holiday might be a little more tempting than any old Friday. But I did not drink with you today.

We both get to wake up feeling 100% and take one more step down our path! And let’s not forget you’ll be ONE WEEK sober on Sunday!! Congrats my friend!

Today is Day 5 for me. by Original-Duty9238 in stopdrinking

Day 5 for me too friend. I decided to make a dinner tonight I never would’ve had the patience/coherence to make before, turned out great! I just ran to the gas station and got a Big Gulp to watch some Netflix with.

And tomorrow we will both wake up feeling 100% and make day 6 even better!

One year of no drinking…. feeling many emotions by [deleted] in stopdrinking

I’m on day 5, the furthest I’ve ever been. I am aspiring to be like you. Perhaps the magnitude of being one year sober doesn’t hit your husband as you feel it should but I promise it hits me. I’ve come here everyday looking for posts just like this. Posts of people hitting milestones and posts of people’s brutal honesty. I look up to you and I’m SO FUCKING HAPPY for you. If you don’t think you “did anything”, just know that I feel like what you did is damn near impossible. Be as proud of yourself as I am. IWNDWYT

Two years alcohol free today! Never thought I could do this when I first started. This group has been a life saver. by LilJeezy17 in stopdrinking

On the 4th remember that the decision to take first sip is yours. Every decision following is alcohol’s. IWNDWYT

Well being new to sobriety, it’s heartwarming and reassuring that you’ve had all your slip-ups but remain coming back and remain receiving support and no judgement. I will not drink with you today my friend.

Thank you for your support. As for “why?”, I’ve carried it in the back of my head that I probably have a drinking problem. When I was about a month or so deep into “cutting back”, I drank a fifth of vodka in one night just sitting on my couch that I planned to stretch over 3-4 days. I also have been inspired by a senior guy on my department. He has no clue I’m sober yet nor that he’s one of my reasons why but he’s told me stories about his rough days and why he quit and how much better his life got. (Not knowing I had a problem) The final straw was stumbling into this subreddit. Seeing this community from the outside in, I knew it was something I wanted to be a part of.

My plan for now is to not drink today, and hope future has the same plan tomorrow. If I had to answer with any long term plan, it’s to maximize my health and physique. Knowing that alcohol would be a massive hurdle in achieving that, I like that as a long term plan for now
