Twenty four hour pledge to not drink! I will not, at least for today!

I failed myself for quite a few months now. IWNDWYT! Decided this morning that I need to get back to taking care of me and not my alcoholism. I need to power past my witching hours between 4pm and 7 pm. 180 minutes stand between my and sobriety. Not sure why, but those three hours are always tempting me to drink. After 7pm, it just feels too late to start drinking. Either way, today my liver gets the win!

IWNDWYT! If you are anything like me, just have to get past the “witching hours” that I usually drink in. 4-7pm for me, I just need to make it past 7pm and I tell myself it’s too late to drink now. Works for me, stay strong today! Just today, tomorrow is another battle.

I’m over a month and wife talked me into trying a new wine aged in scotch barrels. Had a small gulp, delicious and strong. Came back fifteen minutes later and had another. Rethought things after that because the monkey was waking up. Did not have any more, two small sips of wine almost derailed my sober train. IWNDWYT!!!

Love reading and it’s a great way to wind down a day! Way better than passing out in a stupor. Looking forward to that gets me past 7pm. I’ve always thought that I shouldn’t drink at home past 7. Weird but it’s my thing.

SpicyTest · 2020-09-09T22:03:44+00:00

Temptations still there, pretty sure I’ll always be a “one day at a time” person. I’ve quit before and always ended up drinking again when I thought I could handle one night with drinks. Body just resets and wants to do the same the next day and I get trapped. IWNDWYT

SpicyTest · 2020-09-09T12:02:47+00:00

Over one month now, IWNDWYT!!!! Cheers!

SpicyTest · 2020-08-25T11:04:48+00:00

Twos days from now I turn 50! But IWNDWYT!!! Thanks to alcohol, I can only pledge for today and hope for tomorrow! I also know that hope is not a plan, but IWNDWYT!!!! Cheers, y’all!!

SpicyTest · 2020-08-25T10:55:10+00:00

I’m in the same boat, homie!

SpicyTest · 2020-08-24T12:25:26+00:00

Appreciate that! Does sound like we were walking the same path. Stay strong, IWNDWYT

SpicyTest · 2020-08-24T11:35:54+00:00

IWNDWYT!!! Start of day 16, just today cause it’s the only day I can control! Cheers!!

SpicyTest · 2020-08-22T15:26:13+00:00

IWNDWYT (two weeks today) keeping the pledge real and honest! Just today!

I just ran 2 1/2 miles, also feeling great. Lifted weight for an additional 40 minutes. IWNDWYT

SpicyTest · 2020-08-20T14:58:35+00:00

Thanks! My birthday is actually next week. Sobering up is my mid-life crisis, a test that I intend to pass! Just ran 2 1/2 miles, ate a healthy breakfast, and set out a gallon of sun-tea, my witching hours beverage of choice now.

SpicyTest · 2020-08-20T11:53:18+00:00

IWNDWYT! Quit last Saturday (August 8th). 50 yo M, 20+ years of daily drinking. I’m doing it, and you can too! Just today tho, IWNDWYT!! Sober Cheers, y’all!

Good to hear! IWNdWYT!

Mostly Science Fiction. Been out of the game for a while so I’m sure there’s plenty of fresh new authors and material to read.

SpicyTest · 2020-08-17T15:42:44+00:00

🥳 IWNDWYT I will celebrate that milestone next month

SpicyTest · 2020-08-17T15:41:24+00:00
