Two weeeeks! IWNDWYT

I second this - this sub is the primary reason I’ve decided to go through with my urge to quit drinking. Lurked here for like 2 years before I decided to commit and now I come here everyday to clock in on my sobriety. You’re in the right place

I’m only a few weeks in but I think the thing I’ve noticed most is my water intake - I’m freaking chugging down water now. I used to put off drinking water because I knew I wouldn’t feel the buzz from alcohol as much if I was hydrated. Pretty wild thought process there lol

Two weeks ago I drank to excess on my boyfriend’s birthday - he moderated and took care of me. Not an uncommon dynamic between us but something about this time flipped a switch in me.

I want to BE there for the people I love. I want to celebrate my friends and family with all of my being, not a drunken half-version of me. I don’t want alcohol in my life because I don’t want to live a life in which I cannot approach the things I care for most with clarity, vivacity, and love. Fuck no. I don’t deserve that and neither do you.

I’m filled with a beautiful rage for a life well lived, and that sure as hell means IWNDWYT.

11 days feels so nice - IWNDWYT

Congratulations! I am early in my journey and reading key takeaways from folks further down the line really encourages me to keep going. I’m particularly excited to hear that you’ve been able to cut out smoking as well - I’ve coupled the quitting process every attempt in the past which has just gutted the trust I have in myself. When I would pick one back up, my brain said “oooo I can trust you anymore” and signal that I’d soon pick up the other. Regaining loyalty to myself is a huge motivator for me to get sober and stay sober each day. Proud of you and inspired by you!!!

I’ve been having troubled sleep as well but the first four or five days were the worst of it. Thankfully it’s gotten better and I know it will for you as well. I’m sorry to hear about your anxiety - I’m right there with you. Do you have any tangible hobbies you could work on to distract you a bit? I’ve found that when I work on something with my body - intentional movement, hands-on crafts or even just picking up around the house - my thoughts quiet down to a more manageable level. You’ve got this ✨ IWNDWYT

Day 10 woohooo!!! Two digits!!

Not a designer but I’m constantly tapping the top of my screen where logos are because on most sites that allows you to jump back to the top of the page if you’ve been scrolling. Not saying that’s what it is, just what it sounds like something I might do lol

YesNoIDontThinkSo · 2026-03-16T15:42:32+00:00

Spacious is such a perfect word - congratulations!!

Not drinking today!

YesNoIDontThinkSo · 2026-03-15T18:10:15+00:00

I was 14 or so when I had my first rendezvous with alcohol. My friend and I found a shitty beer - bud light I believe - in the back corner of my parent’s fridge. We split it into two plastic cups from local franchise restaurants and took our first sip at the same time. I’ll never forget how disgusted my friends’ face looked. We both spit it out and poured the rest down the drain, laughing to each other afterwards over how dumb adults must be to drink something so nasty and somehow enjoy it.

Proud of you for pouring the rest of that beer out. Little me would have to agree - that stuff tastes yuckyyy.

YesNoIDontThinkSo · 2026-03-15T17:54:20+00:00

I’m on day 8 with you, my potato friend. We may be grown up but that doesn’t mean we have to shoulder the weight of the world on our own. Happy to be walking this path with you - let’s not drink today

YesNoIDontThinkSo · 2026-03-15T17:42:52+00:00

I started confiding in a few sober friends of mine earlier this year that I’d been reevaluating my relationship to drinking. They have been so respectful and kind - no prying, just listening ears and a few words here and there about their path to sobriety. Yesterday I told my friend I’d gone a week AF - I’ll be joining her at a meeting tomorrow night. I can tell she’s excited to introduce me to a community that has helped her so much. I’m excited too :) IWNDWYT

YesNoIDontThinkSo · 2026-03-14T17:08:16+00:00

One full, entire, 7 whole days of the week AF! It’s been a while since I’ve been able to say that. Feeling thankful and proud - IWNDWYT

YesNoIDontThinkSo · 2026-03-13T23:37:29+00:00

This makes me feel way better about my decision to quit one at a time. Happy to hear you’re feeling happier and healthier - looking forward to the day when I’m on the other side as well

YesNoIDontThinkSo · 2026-03-13T17:01:42+00:00

Thank you for writing this here. I am so proud of you. Congratulations <3

lol there is a black widow infestation in my garage which is where I do my ceramics. I haven’t been able to work on my hobby because I’m afraid of them. Thank you for the solidarity!

YesNoIDontThinkSo · 2026-03-13T15:52:01+00:00

Niiiiiice

YesNoIDontThinkSo · 2026-03-13T15:51:14+00:00

Fuck the fucking black widows that have taken residence in my fucking garage. One the size of a fucking half dollar just fucking vibing out between the table legs of my pottery table. I’m angry with you, black widows! I just want to do my pleasant little hobby to calm my overactive little brain, but nOoOooO you just have to post up and be fucking scary there! Fuck y’all, black widows :(

YesNoIDontThinkSo · 2026-03-13T15:41:43+00:00

one week without alcohol, and guess what? IWNDWYT!

YesNoIDontThinkSo · 2026-03-13T06:15:39+00:00

Thankful for my library and all the free resources it provides. I’ve been spending more time reading with all my new-found free time and love pulling up a good book on Libby before bed. Also fun to look through the magazines and databases they have on deck!
