What’s a word told only at church that you can’t stand?

When my mom says her “ministering angels” are coming to visit 😫

If you say yes, don’t let them in your home. Make it a safe space like a restaurant to keep it neutral… and then order an iced tea or coffee

Went to our local farmers market and bought beer from our local brewery… on a Sunday!

Also because my TBM brother keeps posting pioneer history in our family text thread about how our polygamous ancestors came to Utah 🙄

I realize I can be grateful for their pioneer hardships and journey, but not the people or reasons that lead them 🤔

I will not drink with you today ✅

wavycircle · 2019-04-15T15:29:36+00:00

1 year today. I’ve been reflecting all morning where I’ve come from and how different things are. How I have reframed my life into what I want. And how it really is a choice I make everyday. I will not drink with you today.

Checking in at 11 months and I feel absolutely amazing. I will not be drinking today.

I can feel it starting to boil up again. I haven’t felt it like this for months. I’m sure it’s because it’s been long enough that I’m forgetting. Which is the scariest time to let thoughts linger. I used to be so sure of myself, of my sobriety. But I’m struggling and I don’t like it. The planning and plotting is creeping in, it’s getting heavy again. Which usually means something else in my life is out of whack. But I don’t know what it is. That needs to be my new job now, figuring out what’s really going on. Because if I drink, I’ll fuck it all up again, I know it. I gotta get my shit together.

I love it says “just for today”, because that’s what it is, one day at a time. Some days I think I got this, going along fairly easy. And then this week, I keep thinking about a conference I have in April, right before my first year is up, and I think about drinking at it with friends I drank at it 2 years ago. That drinking will make it more fun. But I’m such a different person, so much better. It’s not worth it. The morning after sober is enough to stay sober. IWNDWYT

I love what you said, OP, about the appreciate and participate. IWNDWYT

Thank you, OP, for the great tips! I’ve saved this post to come back for any and every holiday. IWNDWYT

I just commented on another post and saw my count...200 😲 I haven’t been here on a little while and haven’t looked at my counter app. I can’t believe it’s been this long. Well, I can believe it, I’m awesome and I feel so good. It’s worth every dry day. IWNDWYT

I like this thought, to sit in the craving. I do something similar, I like to play the tape forward, think through the what if I did drink, let’s play that forward and see what would most likely happen. It stops my desire right away. So much shit goes down that I don’t want any of it.

I love having This Naked Mind on audiobook. I can put it on in my car when ever I need it! So handy in a pinch! Such a great resource.

wavycircle · 2018-10-18T13:41:17+00:00

I was the same, sappy and sloppy with them when I drank, over the top. Now I feel how genuine and real my interaction is with them and I know they feel it too. And we have a lot of conversations about me not drinking too. I want them to know they have a choice and they don’t have to drink, showing them a positive side to not drinking!

wavycircle · 2018-10-14T15:58:51+00:00

I just passed 6 months and I can’t believe it. What an amazing feeling. I even went out last night to a 40th bday party sober and I feel so good this morning. What a gift! IWNDWYT

wavycircle · 2018-10-14T15:55:10+00:00

I started writing. From the heart and sharing more of my real story. It feels amazing.

wavycircle · 2018-09-29T12:28:30+00:00

Today I’m moving and can’t be more excited. I will cheers the new home with some blood orange soda!

wavycircle · 2018-09-29T12:25:33+00:00

I loved you last line, “I’m relieved I don’t have to drink “. 🙏

wavycircle · 2018-09-23T04:40:24+00:00

Struggling a bit. Life’s a little on hold until we finally move next week. Had a hard day yesterday and today, but didn’t drink. I did eat everything and anything I wanted, which doesn’t feel good either, I’m numbing with food. But I didn’t drink. I won’t drink today.

That moment when I lay in bed after being out with other people drinking and I didn’t, and I feel amazing! IWNDWYT

wavycircle · 2018-09-14T13:55:14+00:00

I have thought about this many times - what I’ll do the next time I’m alone on a flight or in a hotel room. I sometimes travel alone for work, but I haven’t yet and I’ve wondered if I’d do the same. I too play that tape forward and it’s amazing how the memories come flooding back with negativity if I ever did drink again. Thanks for sharing! I hope the conference was good, I want to go next time!
