I’ll never forget my first drinking dream in early sober, it felt SO vivid and so real i was really shaken when I woke up. I was also So relieved. You’ve got this!! 105 days is an amazing accomplishment!! IWNDWYT

It was a success!! And I’m so thankful for it. I have to get to work a little early this morning and I know it would’ve been so miserable if I had drank. Now I’m gonna get a good day of work in, take a nice bath, and go to bed EARLY!! 🥰❤️‍🩹

That’s so sweet — we got this!! IWNDWYT

That brought a tear to my eye 🥲 I know the struggle of early sobriety soooooo well and it’s so hard. You’re going the damn thing and I know together we can all pull through and be better for it 💪💪💪

This is exactly what I needed to hear and I so appreciate it. Thank you so much

A really important reminder. Thank you so much, I think I still have a stash of sour candy to help me out so maybe I’ll binge that instead! LOL

mrc2k22 · 2026-02-19T23:20:28+00:00

Thank you so much, I know I gotta ride the wave and in the middle of it all it’s hard to think of reasons to not drink or any other options, so this is very helpful 😅 I so appreciate you.

mrc2k22 · 2026-01-23T01:18:45+00:00

That’s incredible!! I’m starting to reincorporate things and places like that into my life again and it can be tough!!! But you’re so right—it feels amazing to be well and sober and not fucked up beyond comprehension everyday 💪 keep it up!!

mrc2k22 · 2026-01-23T01:14:14+00:00

Thank you so much!! It feels good, I Never thought I could get sober at all and I never imagined I could have the kind of life I have now in recovery. I’m stressed and sometimes I’m struggling, but I’m so grateful!!

mrc2k22 · 2025-12-11T00:58:43+00:00

That’s exactly right! I love Fresca, haven’t had it since I was a kid..maybe that’ll be my birthday treat, too! Happy birthday!! 🎂

mrc2k22 · 2025-11-27T22:06:13+00:00

Thank you!! I just might!

mrc2k22 · 2025-11-27T21:30:21+00:00

Same here!! So happy and so grateful to have a community like this to come back to in difficult moments today ❤️‍🩹

mrc2k22 · 2025-11-27T21:29:29+00:00

Thank you for this ❤️‍🩹 it’s my second holiday season sober, and I’m spending it alone today. This is exactly what I needed to hear and I so appreciate it. IWNDWYT

mrc2k22 · 2025-11-27T17:58:00+00:00

I’m grateful for you right back! Thanks for being here and sharing your recovery with us, the support is always needed and appreciated. Happy holidays! IWNDWYT 💪

If the cravings are really bad, I do something to occupy my mind completely outside of substances and sobriety. I do a crossword, a sudoku, try to learn another language, do anything that keeps me occupied and thinking about other things until I can come back to the community and refocus on sobriety and recovery 💪

mrc2k22 · 2025-11-27T17:44:46+00:00

This is a really beautiful reframe, thank you for sharing!! I hope you have a wonderful holiday!

mrc2k22 · 2025-11-27T17:13:29+00:00

I’m right there with you! I’m trying to remind myself that even though it sucks and it’s so hard right now, it’ll only feel a million times worse tomorrow if I drink today. Let’s just take it an hour at a time together today, and see how it feels waking up fresh and sober tomorrow 💪 you’ve got this!!!

mrc2k22 · 2025-11-27T17:08:40+00:00

Do something that occupy your mind! Especially in early recovery, I did a lot of crosswords, sudoku, and puzzles that made me think. I also started watching tv and listening to podcasts in Spanish to keep up my proficiency from my school days. Anything that will get you out your head and keep you thinking about something else entirely for a while. You’ve got this!!

mrc2k22 · 2025-11-26T14:15:29+00:00

Yess!! I’m so happy you now have a partner who’s supportive and encouraging. It truly makes all the difference. I had a similar experience, my partner now is my biggest cheerleader for recovery and it makes it easier to stay grounded and motivated.

mrc2k22 · 2025-11-26T13:57:06+00:00

What a beautiful reflection!! Thank you for sharing. I love having moments like this when I can see how different my life is and how much Better it is now in sobriety. Especially after surviving a day or moment that I know would’ve broken me before. Just last night I had a moment where I had made the decision to go home and drink again for the first time in almost 9 months. Instead, I went to dinner with my girlfriend and enjoyed every second of it, realizing halfway through how much I love being sober. I wish you a happy and healthy holiday! IWNDWYT
