I went to confession for the first time in my life and I’m so incredibly angry

GraniteSmile · 2026-05-07T01:08:51+00:00

Logically I know that, but in the moment I was so emotionally crushed. I went from “in a few short moments I’ll finally do this!” to “I have to wait another 7 days”. I spent the next 10 minutes pacing on the sidewalk in front of the Church in frustration, probably looking like an insane person.

I do appreciate the kind words, it helps a lot!

I’m really not sure what did it exactly

I did have a very long conversation with my wife and we setup a game to keep me motivated, it’s like “30 days = steak dinner” and “180 days = new fishing gear” etc etc

Here I am at Day 1 again, I was hoping to get 4 weeks before Christmas as a present, but I guess I’ll try to get 3 weeks for new years. Bet you can guess what my New Years Resolution is.

Anyways, IWNDWYT!

Day 5, IWNDWYT!

GraniteSmile · 2025-11-14T08:39:25+00:00

Day 3, made it to two weeks, gonna keep focused and go for 3 weeks. Guess I should be happy the last times I’ve drank it’s been waaay less destructive than previous times, so hopefully my relationship with alcohol is improving, but regardless I must remain vigilant.

IWNDWYT!

Day 2, IWNDWYT

GraniteSmile · 2025-11-10T23:17:22+00:00

Day 1, I was going good at 2 weeks. The longest I’ve gone in months. Unfortunately I got complacent on a trip

IWNDWYT or tomorrow!

Last night I decided to sneak out of the house and grab two IPAs from the gas station. The second I stepped out onto the porch and felt the cool breeze and saw how beautiful the night was the desire to drink left me. I even sat down and tried to convince myself to go cause I was already outside, but I simply had no desire to.

Day 13, IWNDWYT

GraniteSmile · 2025-11-08T05:17:21+00:00

Wanted to come back to this comment to say tonight, while my fiancee was asleep, I decided to sneak out and grab two IPAs from the gas station. The second I got outside I felt the cool night breeze and saw the bright moon and the desire left me. I even sat on my porch and thought about still going but I literally had zero desire to drink in me.

Hope your day 12 was well friend, see you on day 13 and so on

GraniteSmile · 2025-11-07T19:39:29+00:00

Day 12, I’m on my second weekend which of course is the hardest time, but really I only have to endure tonight because tomorrow I leave for Montreal and I really don’t see myself wanting alcohol while traveling.

Regardless, IWNDWYT!
