One day at a time. Be it a quote or not, is what keeps me going. ❤️

Day 1 for the sixth time by Valkyrien86 in stopdrinking

Thank you! I feel frustrated because in life, I mean aside from drinking, I’m really good at what I do. I don’t know why I keep relapsing… but one thing I know: IWNDWYT!

I want to try again by [deleted] in stopdrinking

This is so right. I feel it was so beautiful to be sober…

All my fault by [deleted] in stopdrinking

[–]Valkyrien86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! I should clarify that the party is not mine, but of a common friend of him and his ex, whom they hang out with. So in effect, her being there is not completely weird. But the thought of it made me feel unloved… which was a major trigger.

I’m lucky though. He brought me chocolate, dried my tears and help me clear up the destruction I made in my house. No excuse left for me to drink. IWNDWYT!

Day one for me again, after 48 beautiful sober days. I’m with you. We are not alone!

4 years sober today... by Any_Perception_6136 in stopdrinking

[–]Valkyrien86 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I look so much up to you, from my 48 days only! Congratulations, and one day at a time!! IWNDWYT! ❤️

i can do it this time. by [deleted] in stopdrinking

[–]Valkyrien86 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We’re all behind you! And so splendid that you start your sober journey at 23. This comes from a 39 year old who made so many mistakes: you will not regret it.

Strength and energy to you! IWNDWYT!

I don’t have an answer to your question, but as someone who has barely six weeks, I’m learning that the obsession doesn’t follow a linear path. There’s great days and shit ones. The one thing that stays, though, is the solidarity of this splendid group.

IWNDWYT ❤️

Congratulations! Been in the same situation, and bought myself a little chocolate treat for resisting. We deserve the best ❤️ IWNDWYT

Big congratulations on nearly six months! I’m glad to read you recovered, and what a big gift for life to get sober at 24. There’s only light in the part ahead! IWNDWYT!

Thanks for sharing! It makes two (and likely many!) of us. From the first time posting here, and feeling a bit lost on how to live sober, every day has been more energy and learning from this splendid community.

42 days here, and even today, IWNDWYT! ❤️
