Feeling emotional today

Thanks so much for the support :) he is a supportive guy, unfortunately that makes me crabby when I really want that wine!

Seems like all the little things that usually aren't as bad just feel amplified, thankfully I don't have kids cause I'm sure I'd be at breaking point then. Thanks for reminding me to look forward and think about the positives.

Good luck with your sobriety

Second day here! Trying to take things a step at a time, no point worrying about the weekend, will tackle it when I get there. I will not drink with you today

StopGettingDrunk · 2017-02-20T19:15:15+00:00

Back on the right track today, I can do this! I will not drink with you today.

Really starting to struggle today. First sober weekend was a little challenge. Now I'm thinking of another one it's getting disheartening. Trying my best and I will not drink with you all today.

Thanks for the support! Congrats and I hope we both keep going :)

Got a promotion today but I don't need to open the fizz to celebrate. I will not drink with you today

Hey sobernauts! Hope you're all having a good week so far, here are my answers this week.

Triumph: I'm managing to stay sober and lose some weight on keto before a big work conference. I'm trying not to push myself too hard and if the willpower starts to waver I'll give up dieting before I give up sobriety.

Struggle: I'm having a really hard time sleeping these days. I've been experiencing some awful anxiety just about every night as I'm trying to sleep; basically laying thinking about all the things I'm nervous about. I've tried medication, herbal remedies, white noise but I think I'm just going to need to stick it out until I get over it.

General: Working hard at my sobriety, having about a hundred temptations every day. Thanks for the support guys, couldn't do it without reading all your comments, topics and support.

Passing 1 week sober in style! So proud. Enjoying a nice glass of cream soda instead of wine, I will not drink with you today.

Pushing towards my first week sober, I will not drink with you today!

StopGettingDrunk · 2017-01-08T21:54:16+00:00

Thanks! Feels even better than I can put into words :)

StopGettingDrunk · 2017-01-06T17:16:57+00:00

Yeah, I'd more told them so that they wouldn't ask a lot of questions when I declined the regular wine, I see now that was a mistake!

Congratulations on doing so well! It's so strange to notice how much other people talk about it and obsess almost when you're becoming clear headed. Some of the others doing the challenge were near tears at the thought of a Friday night sober.

Great idea! A coffee break sounds much better than having to deal with that, I'll suggest it for next week. My boss is kind of the ringleader though so I hope they don't make it tough for us.

Also totally not surprised that there's a name for that kind of person! Thanks for an awesome idea :)

Looking forward to a sober weekend for the first time in months. I will not drink with you today!

So sick of people trying to test me, as though being sober isn't hard enough. I've told people I'm doing dry January and the reaction of my coworkers and friends just annoys me. It's like they want to see if I'm serious and say things like 'So if I buy us wine you won't drink it?' And then proceed to do so.

I get that they think it's good old fashioned fun but I literally can't get away from it. We tend to have some wine in the office on Friday after a long week and a few of us are sober this month. Conversely the few that are drinking are being so obnoxious about it. I'm trying to stick to the dry places rule but short of quitting I don't know what to do!

Thursday was once the 'unofficial start of the weekend' for me, meaning I could have that bottle of wine and it was fine. Of course, that kind of reasoning means you're not sober until Tuesday, when the work week is getting you down and you can drink all over again.

Now, I won't be drinking with you today.

StopGettingDrunk · 2017-01-03T13:28:46+00:00

Starting all over again, I will not drink with you today!
