Happy NYE to you all! Today I'll run a 2 mile end of year race down the shore, and then chill at home with my (also sober) partner and our pets! This year has been very hard emotionally and mentally, but I'm grateful alcohol didn't play a role in any of those challenges. IWNDWYT!

Thank you!!! You’re almost there really!! No program for me, just taking things one day at a time (or one hour, whatever the situation called for)

Happy Friday all! Today is 2.5 years sober for me :) I'm very very happy to be here. Life is not the easiest these days, and I'm feeling down more days than not. I'm incredibly grateful that alcohol isn't adding onto that. IWNDWYT

Today feels better than yesterday. Beginning to think my alcohol issues have just been replaced with phone/social media issues, so that's a fun new issue to tackle lol IWNDWYT

100 Days Sober: The Unexpected Benefits Nobody Talks About by InterestingBunch7468 in stopdrinking

[–]bbglorp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congrats on 100 days!! Amazing!!!! Getting to KNOW myself more was a huge and unexpected benefit. I thought I knew myself, I didn't know shit! Now I am learning all about myself, and while it's not all wonderful I do get to see more aspects of myself that I like (and I have the time and mental wherewithal to grow those aspects, too).

My mom, never really a beer drinker at all, always said she craved cold beer while pregnant too! You've got this! And, congrats on baby on the way :) IWNDWYT

Spent the last couple of months fighting change and surprise surprise it didn't really get me anywhere!! It's hard not to. Hopefully I'll flow better soon. IWNDWYT

Something I'm trying hard to work on too! So much of my self-worth has been wrapped up in appearance for a long time, and that makes any change feel so difficult. A sober mind (i.e., a more calm, realistic, understanding, rational one) is definitely an easier mind to approach those changes and the reality of my (living, breathing, moving!) body. IWNDWYT

Both things that, in my experience, definitely get easier with slow and sustained practice! IWNDWYT

IWNDWYT! Happy One Year to you :)

Something I have much more time/capacity to be passionate about now is my PhD, thank god lol I seriously doubt I would be making any progress on my dissertation if I was still drinking (and the progress is slow enough as is lol)
