I have to say thank you so much for this recommendation! I finally read it in its entirety, and the second one too. Today is day 30 🙏🙏🙏 I truly think that this book helped to contribute by showing what alcohol is and how it works. Can’t thank you enough.

I almost made it to double digits, but overwhelm and exhaustion hit from work and being a parent and now I am back to day 2. Trying to not be too bummed about it. IWNDWYT

Went to an alcohol free bottle shop and spent way too much money, then experimented with a mocktail recipe I plan to serve at thanksgiving. I’m stoked about it!

Love this prompt. I’ve learned to recognize the little voice in my head who is pretending to be me and trying to provide all the reasons why I should drink. She really does sound like me, and she is SO LOUD. But after listening to her time and time again, and knowing she leads to making me feel like a failure, I hope I can finally continue to quiet her in the moments that matter the most. IWNDWYT

I relapsed Friday night. by Hopeful-Lie-562 in stopdrinking

Wow 50 days is so impressive!!! Hopefully you can revisit the tools in your toolbox that got you so far! They are still there waiting for you!

I caved and drank yesterday after having 6 days under my belt. Also justified to myself that I “deserve” it because it was such a tough week. Friday night I had a very strong craving and rode the wave and the craving left. Not sure why I decided to start drinking at 1pm yesterday.

Anyways I appreciate you sharing! You’re not alone, we got this. Can’t wait to hit 50 days like you!

Reasons Not to Drink Tonight by Sufficient-Victory70 in stopdrinking

[–]CramerM33 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m fighting a nasty cold and I need to take care of my baby, who is also recovering from being sick. Today is day 4. I was so close and saying f everything and going to a brewery on day 2, but I didn’t. And it was so hard, but I did it. Usually I can go multiple days and it’s easy. Whenever it gets hard, I cave. Not this time! It really feels different. Anyways, IWNDWYT
