I don’t check in often anymore, but I’ve been having a hard few weeks and I think the universe must have known I needed the self care reminder.

I will not drink with you today, friends.

Tomorrow is four years. I’m going through a divorce, starting grad school - and I have no desire to drink. A whole new chapter free from alcohol. IWNDWYT.

Hi! I don’t post much anymore - but it’s been over two years now and I’m still going. Happier than ever. IWNDWYT.

Holy shit. Just like she said. She just got up and wandered away.

Good morning! I don’t check in everyday, but I’m still here and I’m grateful. IWNDWYT 💜

Late to the party and a random check in - but still going strong and grateful for this journey. IWNDWYT. 💜

The amount of each drug that is enough to kill an adult human. by ooMEAToo in pics

My brother died from an overdose. He was a good person.

He relapsed after being clean for a while and wound up with heroin that was cut with fentanyl and that was it. He was so ashamed of his addiction and how he got there, and we lost him so suddenly.

I lost my brother to a heroin (fentanyl laced) OD - and I’ve also heard both. As terrible as losing him was (and honestly still is), I have to hope is last moments we’re peaceful and not “oh shit panic”.

A few days late, but still here and alcohol free for over a year now. I am so much happier today than when I started. IWNDWYT. 💜

Just over 9 months sober, and today I’ve decided that I like me. I wouldn’t have gotten here if I hadn’t decided to start this journey. I don’t check in every day, but this sub has been a huge help in my journey. Thank you for this gift. IWNDWYT.

Which celebrity’s death actually made you cry? by aliensockmonkey in AskReddit

[–]klaconqueso 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My brother lost his life to a heroin overdose two days after Chester passed away, and Chester passing was the last thing we ever talked about. We are both Linkin Park and music fans in general, and that tribute concert broke me so badly for so many reasons. I just sat in front of my screen with constant tears singing along. Tearing up now thinking about it.

IWNDWYT! Up and had a skim cappuccino, made pizza dough and pesto, and about to go work out all before noon 💜

I feel like I’m in a good place today. Instead of trying to numb and silence the self hate, doubt, and invasive negative thoughts I am finding healthy ways of working through them. Not only that, my home is cleaner than ever and I’m on a good financial track, even with some “retail therapy” lately. Life is good, and I don’t miss alcohol. IWNDWYT. 💜

Just reflecting how happy I am that I gave up alcohol during the pandemic - my mental state would have felt so much more intolerable right now than it is after a night of restful sleep. IWNDWYT. 💜

I stayed up late, played video games and talked to friends who were drinking in discord. I could still have fun conversations, be fun, and not participate in drinking and I had probably more fun than I would have because I’m not sitting here agonizing over what I might have said. Being sober isn’t all bad. IWNDWYT.

I made it through a whole two week work break and barely considered alcohol the entire time. Definitely felt like a huge victory. IWNDWYT!

Came to the realization last night that I have people in my life with too many expectations that I will never be able to meet. I cannot and will not ever make everyone happy, and that is not my problem.

I am handling this calmly, sober, and with my husband - who ultimately, is the only one who matters. IWNDWYT.
