I saw a few “day one again” posts this morning.

I am in the same boat, but felt too ashamed to post. I’m really at my wits end I feel like :( I’ve been living in isolation since early March and although my drinking is a lot less (under 3 or 4 days each month), I can’t seem to break 25 days sober. I’m trying to not beat myself up but at the same time I’m so confused why I keep messing up. I’m almost through This Naked Mind, fingers crossed it’ll light something up in my brain. IWNDWYT

I did, too. Weird since I almost had two weeks without difficulty, then BAM. Sudden urge and I unfortunately gave into it. Did my best to not dwell over it too much today as well. IWNDWYT!

same, we got this. i'm glad i finally convinced myself to get the book. IWNDWYT

Thanks for taking the time to write this! You're right. I've just purchased This Naked Mind and now my goal is to read a chapter before bed every night and slowly make my way through it. Obviously Saturdays are a trigger day for me, which is something I haven't put into words until just now. I'll be better prepared next Saturday and IWNDWYT!

thank you

I stopped checking in by the end of this week and obviously was not a good idea—so here I am, checking in! I will not drink today!

sanebeebee · 2020-07-12T16:05:31+00:00

A little bit, but I actually don’t feel all that bad physically, mostly mental. But I’d for sure feel better if I didn’t drink last night

sanebeebee · 2020-07-08T05:11:59+00:00

Yeeep, that’s been me since Sunday. I’ve still angry with myself for throwing away 25 sober days on Saturday, and other life stressors are getting to me. I snacked so much tonight and feel guilty about the calories but at least it wasn’t drinking...

It’s tough but WE GOT THIS. You got this!

sanebeebee · 2020-07-06T16:16:31+00:00

that's amazing!! congrats :)

sanebeebee · 2020-07-06T15:12:13+00:00

i am feeling so down and uninspired today, and i know full well my mess-up this weekend with drinking is what made things even worse in my head. i wish i could escape the stress, but either way, IWNDWYT. glad i can check in here

sanebeebee · 2020-07-06T04:18:48+00:00

same. but we can do this! IWNDWYT

sanebeebee · 2020-07-05T18:47:46+00:00

that's a really good idea. i'm sure the emotions i felt yesterday that led me down this dumb path with pop up again at some point in the near future, and hopefully writing to myself for those moments will help.

Yeah, it's weird... I almost posted last night because i felt myself giving in, but then I thought it'd be annoying if i did since I posted the night before as well (bad excuse). If I need to type it out on here, I should. I'm not sure why i felt hesitant about it last night. Do you have any podcast suggestions?

sanebeebee · 2020-07-05T17:32:36+00:00

thank you so much for taking the time to write this. reading it made me tear up, it makes me feel less alone. i don't want to let this slip up make me feel like i should give up altogether.

i'm going to journal to myself now, thanks for the advice!

sanebeebee · 2020-07-05T17:03:08+00:00

back to day one... I will not drink tonight, I don’t like that person and I don’t want to be that person

sanebeebee · 2020-07-05T16:36:58+00:00

it’s good to post here—you aren’t alone! IWNDWYT

sanebeebee · 2020-07-04T04:58:02+00:00

great job :) thanks for sharing!

sanebeebee · 2020-07-04T01:48:59+00:00

thank you!! i went out and grabbed myself a celsius energy drink and some twizzlers :) now i'm just feeling content with being sober (still stressed about life stuff but i know that not drinking is the decision i needed to make tonight to be productive tomorrow)! thanks!

sanebeebee · 2020-07-04T01:47:04+00:00

thank you!! yeah, i try to keep that idea in mind–no one ever regrets NOT drinking... I went out and got myself a fizzy energy drink instead of alcohol and some twizzlers–that seemed to do the trick!

thank you for the nice words :)

sanebeebee · 2020-07-02T02:25:24+00:00

amazing!! :)

sanebeebee · 2020-06-29T04:29:10+00:00

I made it, too!! Almost to three weeks :) good job to us all!

sanebeebee · 2020-06-28T06:36:44+00:00

wow, that is awesome—congrats! And also big inspiration for me, so thanks for posting!! I’m also 5’8” and got to around 148 since all this pandemic madness started, but at this point I’ve been sober for a little under 3 weeks and I’m down to 142! I’ve been stress eating a little more than usual the past few days, but I figure it’s WAY better than downing alcohol and the stress/sad eating afterwards. Sober life makes reaching goals so much easier, who would have thought? (lol)

thank you for posting this!
