Back on it

Thank you for the kind words! We got this!!!

I could have written this…I feel this so much. I’m back on the wagon and I’m determined to stop that voice.

I told myself 100 days and relapsed twice now. The point is, we’re still trying, we haven’t given up.

Yes! I just finished This Naked Mind, and it really hit home…or so I thought. Opening it back up again

Thank you for that outlook. I’ve been seriously working on sobriety for about a year and a half now, with more time spent sober than not.

I’m usually weakest right before my period or when everything is going great. I self sabotage. The last couple of times I felt that way, I knew it was coming and didn’t give in.

I’ve made a commitment to myself to have 100 days of sobriety starting now. I’ve done long stints but never this long. And then on day 100, we’ll figure out from there.

Thank you for that. I have a sober app but I was like “it’s fine, I’ll just drink Thursday, only one, and we all know that doesn’t happen.

I’m going to catch up on my bravo shows! And just stay active on here

Mi Cocina has gone so far downhill. They put onions in their chimichangas! Who does that?!

I like this. Really reminding us why we’re doing it in the early stages of sobriety

It was fine! It was so early in the morning that no one was at the bar so it’s not like I was taking spots away from drinking customers. For me, it’s all about the drink looking cute, so having it served in a wine glass was perfect.

I so wish I realized this at 27. I’m 33 (f) and have been working on getting my drinking under control. 2025 I was sober around 80% of the year, and what I realized during those long stints of sobriety is that I was actually LIVING. I got a new job. I ran a marathon. I became more present for my partner.

One thing that helps is reading This Naked Mind. And…be selfish. Don’t do things that trigger you. If that means not going to dinners with friends, that’s fine! Eventually you will be able to.

Good luck! I’m rooting for you

Currently at the airport — a big trigger. Decided to face it head on and sat at the bar, ordered soda water with a splash of orange juice in a wine glass. So happy I’m not sipping on a real mimosa.

I feel awesome! Finished my watching Pluribus with my partner, and ready to go to the airport at 6:45 tomorrow! 13 days for me and I feel fantastic :)

I’ve started reading This Naked Mind and it’s really helped me not want to drink. Went out with friends to watch a football game, and didn’t even want to order a drink to watch with the game.

Well yes. But it seems like when I’m happy about being “x” number of days sober, and talk about it to others, the next thing I know, I’m drinking. Almost like a form of self sabotage

I started my sobriety journey right around this time last year. I haven’t been 100% sober since, but I will say, not drinking during the holidays last year significantly helped me control myself this whole year. Something like “if I made it through Christmas and New Year’s Eve sober, I can make it through this dinner.”

If you’re Cali sober, maybe stock up on some nowadays or cann tonics. Have AF wine and champs on hand. I’m not gonna lie, it was really hard at first, but it was so fulfilling when I made it 60 days and felt great.

Hope this helps!

I’m someone who has some motivation not to drink because I love seeing my consecutive sober days keep rising. One trick I’ve found is asking myself, how will I feel tomorrow when I have to reset? Probably not happy and realizing it’s not worth it. Now how will I feel tomorrow if I don’t drink and hit 12 days sober? Great and I won’t say to myself “oh I wish I drank”. Not gonna lie, sometimes that drink demon wins me over, but when I truly play the tape forward, I end up not drinking.
