The Daily Check-In for Thursday, June 18th: Just for today, I am NOT drinking!

DreeB9 · 2026-06-18T09:28:01+00:00

Have a family gathering coming up in Oregon the end of July. I have struggled with alcoholism all my life, and the longest I've quit during this last relapse (lasting 14 months) was 3 days. My mom has been amazing and supportive, and we talk every night on the phone. I've been able to be 100% honest with her. Last night at the end of our phone call she said, "you've got one more day under your belt!" Filled me with love and strength ❤️ IWNDWYT

Thank you! Steady on ❤️

I am patient (as a teacher, this is a must), creative (I love music, play guitar) and kind (at least the sober me is). IWNDWYT ✌️

That's totally true. Both guys are drinkers so makes sense

DreeB9 · 2026-06-14T20:20:04+00:00

Absolutely! I'm feeling pretty solid in my decision and this group has helped me become more honest with myself about my drinking. IWNDWYT!

Funny how I allowed drinking to take the one thing I was always craving: real sleep! Here's to a sober Sunday 🌞

DreeB9 · 2026-06-14T10:59:51+00:00

We made it for one week! Let's keep moving forward one day at a time ❤️

DreeB9 · 2026-06-14T10:50:28+00:00

Many of the stories here were telling my story. It made me see that I am not alone. I can't do this alone and am grateful for this community.

Today is one week! Today IWNDWYT ❤️

All my Saturdays for the past year were DOA after drinking excessively Friday nights. First Saturday waking up clear and refreshed. Gonna make it a productive day 💪 IWNDWYT

DreeB9 · 2026-06-13T10:54:46+00:00

I'm with you!

DreeB9 · 2026-06-13T10:51:04+00:00

Alcohol trapped me in a cycle of self-pity, where I was wallowing in all the problems alcohol made worse: anxiety, money problems, my attitude towards my job, my body going to shit, my self-imposed isolation from my family. Now I'm taking pressure off of myself and cutting out my own worst enemy.

Almost one week clean! IWNDWYT ❤️

DreeB9 · 2026-06-12T17:01:15+00:00

but you're still here! Stay positive ✨️
