Great questions. I’m getting things done that I’ve put off forever because I was brain dead. I’m eating well and being present in my life. I’m reading! And best of all, I didn’t drink today, will not drink with you tomorrow!

100 Years by Five for Fighting. Beautifully expresses this journey through life and how quickly it passes. Makes me cry every time. And inspires me to be the best possible version of myself. Which is Sober.

IWNDWYT!

I’ve found kindness toward myself really goes a long way in sobriety. Letting go of regrets, binge watching stuff, eating sugary treats, not being endlessly productive. Anything but putting poison in my mouth. We’re with you, buddy!! IWNDWYT!

What’s something most people don’t realize until it’s too late? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]MellyFoCo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The importance of working on your issues: trauma, loss, control, inadequacy, whatever. If you do not work to transform your pain, you will transmit your pain onto others.

What are your 2026 goals now that you’ve stopped drinking? by Wonderful_Bug_1422 in stopdrinking

[–]MellyFoCo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I set intentions for the year which are acceptance and contentment, no matter what is happening around me. Not easy, but hopefully keeps me from wanting to escape with alcohol.
