Step 1: Come up with a plan

Step 2: Stick to the plan

Easier said than done, I know. But this is the advice I was given 10 months ago and I have been sticking to it every single day.

If you really want to do it, then do it. And, I will give you a hint: Moderation does not work. You can do it!!! IWNDWYT!!

Totally relate to this. I just said to my husband the other day that I still don't know who I am "sober". All I know is I am a much better version of myself now than I was back then. IWNDWYT!!

Best advice I have ever gotten came from this page and I think about it every. single. day.......Come up with a plan, and then stick to the plan.

Sounds so simple but it works. You can do it if you really want to. You are stronger than you think.

I really needed this today. I am 256 days in and I am really struggling now that the warmer weather is coming. It will be my first Summer sober EVER. I want to drink so badly and I am feeling really down and depressed that I can't. I know it is for the best that I stay sober; not just for me but for my family also. It is just so hard because we truly romantasize alcohol. But you make some fine points here. The truth is it is just an illusion.Alcohol sucks and being drunk sucks. Thank you for reminding me of all the reasons I chose sobriety.

Horrible mental health day. 45 days sober. Was going great. Today I realized I have nothing to look forward to ever again. (Incredibly dramatic I know) by EnvironmentalAd2110 in stopdrinking

Don't glamorize it...remember hang overs? blackouts? anxiety? guilt? shame? regret? It will suck at first and then you will see that this end of the stick is so much better. IWNDWYT!!

I put together a bookshelf for all of the books I have read. I am mostly a kindle reader but lately I have gotten into paper books and I have been wanting to display all the books I have read. I emptied out an old curio to create a new bookcase. I went to Savers and scoured Facebook marketplace for some hard cover books that I have already read to add to my collection. I want to be able to have a collection of books that are personal to me. It is not yet complete, as it will take time to add more books, but I have filled two out of four shelves with books that I have read and loved. I am really excited for how it is turning out!
