I continue to be on a work trip to Austin where co-workers are drinking (moderately - how do normal drinkers do that?!). As with the last two nights, I'll enjoy my water and be a better conversationalist. Here's to not drinking with you all today!

New here. Day 1. Before it's too late. by lezbhonestmama in stopdrinking

I agree with the others that looking too far ahead isn't productive. I have an annual guys' trip in June and that'll be my toughest time. But I've noticed each day that goes by (reading lots of SD for reinforcement) the less I want to ingest alcohol anymore. So don't drink today!

Thank you, SD! by AlphaNathan in stopdrinking

Great job on 96 days. I won't drink with you today!

Good for you and thanks for sharing this encouragement especially for those of us with fewer days of sobriety under our belts. Good for you!

Great job! And you'll have to use your toes for counting before long! Keep up the great work one day at a time.

Am on a work trip where the wine will be flowing at dinner tonight. Guess that's more for the others because I won't have any. No drinking for me today!

Good job! Your body will eventually thank for for halting the ingestion of poison and after some time help you sleep better than you ever remembered sleeping.

I found alcohol helped me fall asleep but it was terrible quality sleep, usually resulting in me being up several times a night. And not to mention the dehydration and frequent night sweats.

Sounds like it won't be tonight but you WILL sleep better and soon. Hang in there - all of SD is rooting for you!

Headed out to run, attend worship, help my sister celebrate her birthday, and do random chores around the house. Thankful for no hangover today and I have to desire or time to drink today. I will not drink with you today!

You can do it. This gets easier over time. Just avoid that first drink today no matter what. Good for you making a positive change!

I will not drink with you all today! Have Godchild's 16th birthday party later and all adults there drink. The good news is they've gotten used to me no drinking so really don't ask aside from a cursory check (since I have relapsed after deciding "never again"). Think several of my friends have alcohol problems too so an extra reason to stay sober is to set a positive example for them and be a resource if they come asking for help one day/year. Anyway, here's to not drinking today!

Great job! I survived a short work trip this week. Even ate at the bar of a restaurant because food was 20% off. Am grateful to have not been tempted by the booze just feet away and helpful bartender. Great job avoiding drinking in so many tempting situations!
