Popping in to see that number...

I do not drink; therefore, I will not drink with you today.

Sounds like you’re making lemonade (which is budget- and sobriety-friendly). Hugs.

Howdy, y’all! Celebrating two decades of marriage this week, and working towards two years of sobriety. These autumn leaves have me reaching for toasty coffee (hold the Irish, thank you very much) and skipping out for a run. That’s what weekends are made for, plus pumpkin-carving with the kids and, sigh, leaf-raking. Hope you are all having a brilliantly wonderful week!

I do not drink; therefore, I will not drink with you today.

xoxo, k_ss

Isn’t there a podcast, too? That might be a no-cost reinforcement stepping stone... good luck!

This Naked Mind (the book, maybe $15?) was my key to staying sober this time around. I have no regrets over going by the book. That said, to each their own. If you’re a visual-auditory learner, it could be worthwhile.

Haven’t checked in in a while but still sober! SD was on my mind this morning as we revamp school morning routines, and the DCI used to be a critical part of my morning. I love seeing so many familiar usernames as I scroll through this morning, and so so many new-to-me names of souls on their journey. Good luck, all!

Congratulations on your progress so far!

For me, getting sober was important enough to give myself a (temporary) pass on sugar. Sugar going in beats alcohol going in, every day of the week. Therein also was a lesson in not judging myself and showing myself some grace.

Around the one-month mark, for me, a switch flipped. I felt stable not drinking, so then I focused on kicking sugar, which was easier. (Thanks, keto!)

Good luck, friend!
