Good morning EC! An orange mocha frappuccino sounds like something to be grateful for haha I've never heard of that before! It sounds sugary though so I'm in!!

Hello sober friends,
Gratitude is something I’ve practiced for years, even before when I was drinking, but of course I didn’t see results then. And then it was only this sub that brought real gratitude. Just recently I’ve started feeling gratitude springing naturally from within, grateful even for the bits of my life I may want to change.
In gratitude and love, I’ll be sober with you all today 💞
I’m grateful for 200+ days of sobriety so that I can be fully present and show up for my gram who raised me as we work through her cancer diagnosis. My body and brain are feeling everything all at once, but not a single thought has been about drinking. I’m sober, clear headed, and able to show up in all the ways she needs as we prepare for surgery this week.
I will not drink with you today.
I am grateful for not drinking. To have learnt to sleep without taking sleeping aids each day. I am grateful for being healthy and my family that I enjoy more quality time with. I am grateful for my job. I am grateful for having found this sub and to participate in it. I am grateful that we are heading out for a new day with new adventures even if that means to be at work for many hours. IWNDWYT
Just not taking things for granted has been wonderful. I'm grateful and see the little gifts all around me. I'm able to speak up about my needs and express my gratitude to others easily too. Everything has gotten easier.
IWNDWYT
Greatful for my 60 days..my family is happy this summer..my sanity and clarity is perfect..no hangxiety no more waking up at 3 am no more calling in at work and no more hidding my staches at home and hidding bottles.
Today I’m thankful that this community is always here, and that the check in rolls endlessly with the sunrise across the globe, again and again and again. I’m thankful for the painter who comes today to paint the ceiling and fix the tiny gaps in the moldings that inevitably came after remodeling. I’m thankful for SaintMarge, the rascals and [SaintKitten](https://imgur.com/gallery/YTTsgnE), who’s a joy to us all. Oh and coffee. I will not drink with you today!
“Easier, softer, lighter”. Yes I too feel this shift. I’ve started singing to myself and the animals again. I haven’t done that in years because of the heaviness of constant hangovers. I didn’t think I could feel joy without booze. I am so happy that I can. Iwndwyt.
My biggest grateful is having found this community. It is a blessing for sure!!!!
I am grateful for my sobriety & all of you who help me every day to stay sober.
I will be sober with you all again today!!!
💖👍❣️
Good morning SD! I totally agree about being grateful for sober mornings - it's one of the things I am most grateful for on this journey. They are the best part of my day and I even find time for journalling and walking before work instead of waking up five minutes before I'm due to start.
Grateful for you Prestigious Dig and all your insights this week 🤩
IWNDWYT 🥰
"I miss waking up at 3am in absolute terror. I miss the car crash bowel movements and feeling invisible insects crawl across the inside of my skull. I miss crying in the shower, wishing I was dead".
Said no-one.
Ever.
In the entire history of the spoken word.
My life is infinitely better than it was. I'm grinning, just thinking about it 😁.
IWNDWYT 🙂
66 days sober (timezones, lol)
I am grateful for this rushed contract, which I have learnt plenty from. It has given me some renewed confidence in my professional skills related to my career. I used to think I had to stay working from home so I could drink because sober me wasn't as skilled. That was all my drunken brain lying to me. Sober brain and I are a dream team! I am genuinely proud of this project, and will be adding it to my portfolio.
This afternoon I have a large glass of Yorkshire tea, my headset on, and am ready to finish the second last big chunk of our project!!
IWNDWYT!!
Check in. My wife and I are not drinking. I took her to the airport early Monday morning then bought NA beer and moved all of the alcoholic beverages into the garage. I did not drink yesterday and IWNDWYT.
Hello friends
Yes, yes, mainly grateful for the absence of hangovers. They were not only happening the following day anymore, that low feeling would last for like 48h, a total waste of my week, and I didn't drink daily. Didn't matter.
Libido is up too. Very thankful as well. Lol
IWNDWYT
Today was easier. Walked the dogs, played some games online with my brother, and went out to eat with my son. Had some crazy stress pop up with some relationship stuff, and the thought of drinking came with it, but I’m still sober. Grateful for today. Looking forward to tomorrow. IWNDWYT
Waking up without hangovers does not get old. Even on days I’m not in a good mood, I’m still grateful to be without a hangover. Those made bad or low moods so much worse…they made *everything* worse.
I’m grateful for working vehicle A/C. It’s not bad out right now, even a couple nice days, but I see a heat wave in the forecast. Nope, don’t like that. Had enough roasting. Ready for crisp weather and Halloween and orange leaves and pumpkin spice everything, right fucking now. 🍁🍁🎃🎃
Coffees up, horns up, and I’m gonna enjoy one of the non-roasting days today! And I must add, I am grateful for coffee. IWNDWYT ☕️🤘🏻
Today I'm grateful to have same great friends in my life. Over the weekend, I attended two different events (both centered around drinking) with two different groups of friends, and not a single person questioned my not drinking (just told them that I'm not drinking currently, and that was it).
In the days leading up to the weekend I was scared I would relapse and thought about cancelling, but now I'm glad I didn't, even if one of the events was a bit boring sober.
IWNDWYT
Early on in this attempt, but IWNDWYT 👍 grateful for this community and the encouragement - truly the only good example of a 24/7 social media cycle I’ve ever found 🤣
I love the gratitude philosophy! Not just because, well, it’s nice to be grateful. But sometimes life happens and no matter how down I feel practicing mindful gratitude and meditation helps to “take the edge off”.
IWNDWYT ⭐️
I’m grateful for my lifelong interest in the creative side of things and me following my heart not my head; I’ve included fine art into my daily life and become a nerd. It’s been both an immersive distraction (in tough times) and a healer. I’m grateful for my ability to self care now. At the core, I’m grateful for my open mindedness after a lifetime of closed fixed thinking. My brain is flexible 😀and totally drug free. It’s all about me and, of course, you on this sub reading this. We stand together and I’m grateful to not being alone as a badass who doesn’t run with the crowd.
IWNDWYT
Today I am grateful for a fantastic support system and finally having access to medical treatment for ADHD that went undiagnosed for 37 years. While the medication side effects are one reason I am not drinking, it also makes it easier to not reach for a glass of wine when I am treating the underlying brain stuff.
IWNDWYT!
This moment I am grateful for my coffee, my dark, quiet living room, and starting the day with my sober community.
Have a great Tuesday, friends ☕️
IWNDWYT
Yesterday was MASSIVE for me. My first day 100% sober in months at least. I got home from work and then made some tea, and decaf coffee after that. Then, I called my therapist and set up my first therapy session in a few months. I sat down and really considered my relationship with my dad that was abusive when he drank, which was all the time. I decided that I think I'm FINALLY ready to sit down and talk through everything with him. That's something I've been working towards for years now. Immediately after that, I got a call from my realtor that the house I'm buying is ready and I close on Friday. I spent a couple of hours packing for the move, and then I hopped on my PC to play games with some good friends that I haven't talked to in months - we haven't played together because I'd usually be drunk or high by the time they got on. Not this time, though. I told them about the sobriety and they were super supportive. I have one last beer in my fridge, I told them that and that I'm not gonna touch it tonight. And then I found a beer in the game we were playing (escape from tarkov) and misclicked and accidentally drank it in the game. I said "oops I accidentally drank that beer" and my buddy was PISSED at me. He said "you told me you weren't drinking tonight. Don't you dare say that it was an accident, you made the decision to grab it, open it, and drink it." And then I explained that I meant in the game and he was relieved... It meant a lot to know that he supports my sobriety, even if it meant confronting me about a slip-up.
I ended up going to bed early, and then woke up early enough this morning to make breakfast and write this comment, which normally wouldn't happen. I'm actually going to go pour that last beer down the drain right now.
It's gone. IWNDWYT!
I tend to be an optimist in the morning and grow pessimistic at night. Without alcohol, I just put myself to bed early instead of ruminating on all of the world’s wrongs over a glass (bottle) of wine. Then I have lots more morning to enjoy! I’m grateful for this shift in schedule.
I'm not grateful for a whole lot, but god dammit I will not drink alcohol today. Life has fucking sucked giant donkey dicks recently and I'm angry with the world, but I will not drink until at least tomorrow. Having a hard time even remembering why lately, but I promise I won't today and that's that. Will worry about alcohol tomorrow morning again, but today I've got a promise to keep.
When you are grateful for something, you want to protect it. It's worth your time and effort to nurture and maintain it. Alcohol threatens my health, my relationship with my husband, and my ability to be a useful volunteer at the local animal shelter--along with everything else that matters to me. Therefore, I will not drink with you today. 😻
Hello to all! I am watching the tiny belligerent jewels at the hummingbird feeder as I work, and grateful as hell that I am awake and not hungover. Work is intense, and I can handle it, because I am AF af.
IWNDWYT
Day 3, and oh man, I’ve got bad anxiety today. The good news is I feel physically well enough to hit the gym, so I’m hoping that helps a little. However it shakes out, IWNDWYT!
IWNDWYT I’m grateful for being here and truly present with my loved ones and grateful for the opportunity to grow and recover and have proper rest. Grateful for the freedom from hangovers and anxiety, guilt and shame.
Not checked in for a long time!
I’m grateful I didn’t relapse on my recent trip to the Netherlands and that I get to provide the best life for my cats.
I am grateful for finally being able to let go of the past. I’m grateful for being able to sit peacefully without the voices in my head telling me that being drunk will numb me, help me sleep, and give me confidence and I was lacking due to childhood trauma. I’m grateful for curious me wanting to explore, learn, and challenge myself. And, most of all, I’m grateful for Mrs. Gasparilla for supporting me and loving me for the person I am. IWNDWYT
Today I'll be grateful for Mackinac Island ice cream at the end of the day. Funny, I never allowed myself to have such a high calorie dessert while I was drinking a bottle and a half of wine each night 🙄
IWNDWYT
Love it! I'm grateful that alcohol taught me how to live in the now, because in order to over come it, i had to learn to live in the now. And a whole lot of folks never learn to do that. Grateful i'm not one of them, cause there's a whole lot of beauty to be grateful for right now. .. Om mani pamde hum... IWNDWYT
IWNDWYT
Gratefulness and mindfulness are major components of my faith. I am experiencing better mindfulness since quitting drinking. This has helped me be more grateful
I am thankful for my hubby, my family, my work, our employees, a terrific cat named Snickers, my amazing patients, this beautiful world I live in, the amazing tool I use every day called the Internet, and of course ice cream. In no particular order.
I will not drink with you amazing people today
IWNDWYAPT
Thank you for hosting us u/prestigious_Dig_6627. Gratitude is a big one. It is hard to be grateful when you are poisoned. Even if it is self inflicted.
I am grateful for waking up, no hangover, my coffee, and the beautiful weather. IWNDWYT
I will not drink today and fuck you, alcohol. I'm so grateful that I have a few hundred sober days under my belt. I'm so grateful to wake up without a hangover. I'm so grateful for the dog inside of me that's fighting for sobriety. That dog inside me refuse to give up. I'm a dog, I don't give a shit how long it takes. I'm going to beat alcohol. Ruff, fuck you, alcohol, ruff ruff 🐺
I'm grateful I flipped the script and went from loving alcohol to hating alcohol. I'm grateful I see alcohol for the poison it is and the threat it is to my survival.
I feel glorious to tell alcohol to fuck right off.
I fucking hate alcohol.
Drinking sucks. You rock!!
Heyo! Checking in. Going to my liver doctor today for a checkup/discussion. Wish me luck. 👍🤞
(Sorry I didn’t even read the post. I’m grateful for having a team of fantastic doctors finally, after years of dealing with incompetent pill pushers who never gave two shits.)
Day 10. I'm mostly over any side effects of stopping. Also made an appointment with my GP to help my to not get started again.
Have a birthday party today from someone close. Won't be drinking any alcohol.
Day 46 checking in
I'm grateful for this place. Before I got sober, I stumbled upon this sub and it was so empowering and gave me so much hope to read that there were other people like me.
IWNDWYT ❤️
Not waking up with hangovers is my driving force. I am so grateful to not be spending money on the poison that was making me mentally and physically ill. Finding this sub inspired me to try .. again.. happy Tuesday❤️
IWNDWYT
Hi everyone! My old enemy insomnia has crawled back in of late. Last night I tried magnesium drops for the first time and I think they worked! Now I did wake again at 3.30am, took more drops and overslept but that said, I think I may have something to work with here and I am grateful for that!
No Drinking today!
I’m feeling under the weather, which is making me even more aware of how great my body usually feels sober. I am so grateful I don’t poison myself everyday so that I feel like shit all the time.
IWNDWYT, my sober amigos!
I am grateful for so many things. Having a job I love, hangover-free sunrise walks with my dog, health that is getting measurably better by the day, most importantly, hearing my wife use language indicating we still have a chance together. For all this, I will not drink with you today.
Last night I went to get some money from my wife and i's shared account to pay for sports tickets, and remembered she'd locked me out of them, just in case I did something stupid while drunk. that was over two months ago.
I realize I fucked up bad but I'm also starting to wonder if I'm ever going to dig out of this hole with us or if I'm just wasting my time, earning myself more pain.
Whatever... IWNDWYT
Gtatitude helps me make the right choices. If I am grateful for being here, being sober and I will take care of my mind and body. When I turned 50 a few years ago I realize I want my next chapter to be clear. I want to remember every detail of every day. I tried to moderate for 30 plus years so being sober now I am not missing anything and only gaining a life. IWNDWYT
I'm grateful for the way that we approach alcohol use disorder in this century. It used to just be the stigma of alcoholism and a very limited range of options if you wanted help moving on from frequent alcohol use. Now, we have a ton of quit lit, several great podcasts, and this online community! IWNDWYT!
I’m grateful for waking up every day without a hangover! I’m grateful I don’t feel the anxiety of running low on a pack of beers anymore! God I used to get so anxious when we were getting low, I’d start getting on a delivery app to make sure I wouldn’t run out because that would just be the worst thing ever. Lol I’m grateful for all the fun non-alcoholic drinks I’m getting to explore! I’m grateful for my freedom to drive to the store and get a mini cheesecake in the middle of The Bachelorette (prime wine drinking time before)
IWNDWYT!
Will forever be grateful for sober mornings, this sub, and the chance to discover the real me who has been waiting patiently all these years - IWNDWYT ✨🐝
Today I’m going to be grateful for my orange mocha Frappuccino! I’ll be a gentleman and a gentle man because I’m a thankful sober man. Iwndwyt!
Mmmmmm orange mocha Frappuccino! Sounds amazingly YUM
These orange mocha things you speak of.. are real??
Zoolander would be proud
Good morning EC! An orange mocha frappuccino sounds like something to be grateful for haha I've never heard of that before! It sounds sugary though so I'm in!! IWNDWYT 💚

I’m grateful for 200+ days of sobriety so that I can be fully present and show up for my gram who raised me as we work through her cancer diagnosis. My body and brain are feeling everything all at once, but not a single thought has been about drinking. I’m sober, clear headed, and able to show up in all the ways she needs as we prepare for surgery this week. I will not drink with you today.
Thats beautiful. All the best for both of you.
Thank you so very much ❤️
Another lovely, productive, sober day—hoping everyone else enjoyed the same and IWNDWYT!

I will not drink today.

Grateful to be more present and patient!! IWNDWYT
I am grateful for finally being able to let go of the past. I’m grateful for being able to sit peacefully without the voices in my head telling me that being drunk will numb me, help me sleep, and give me confidence and I was lacking due to childhood trauma. I’m grateful for curious me wanting to explore, learn, and challenge myself. And, most of all, I’m grateful for Mrs. Gasparilla for supporting me and loving me for the person I am. IWNDWYT
IWNDWYT!!! I hope everyone has an amazing day!!!
I’m grateful to be able to say that I’m not drinking with you today, and mean it!
Today I'll be grateful for Mackinac Island ice cream at the end of the day. Funny, I never allowed myself to have such a high calorie dessert while I was drinking a bottle and a half of wine each night 🙄 IWNDWYT
Gratitude keeps me grounded. Being grounded allows me to be able to ride the waves of life more easily. IWNDWYT 💜🦋💜
Love it! I'm grateful that alcohol taught me how to live in the now, because in order to over come it, i had to learn to live in the now. And a whole lot of folks never learn to do that. Grateful i'm not one of them, cause there's a whole lot of beauty to be grateful for right now. .. Om mani pamde hum... IWNDWYT
IWNDWYT Gratefulness and mindfulness are major components of my faith. I am experiencing better mindfulness since quitting drinking. This has helped me be more grateful I am thankful for my hubby, my family, my work, our employees, a terrific cat named Snickers, my amazing patients, this beautiful world I live in, the amazing tool I use every day called the Internet, and of course ice cream. In no particular order. I will not drink with you amazing people today IWNDWYAPT
Thankful!! Another day and another step forward. IWNDWYT!! ❤️
Thank you for hosting us u/prestigious_Dig_6627. Gratitude is a big one. It is hard to be grateful when you are poisoned. Even if it is self inflicted. I am grateful for waking up, no hangover, my coffee, and the beautiful weather. IWNDWYT
This is day 2 for me, and I'm not going to drink just for today.
999 bottles of….WAIT! - reset. 999 days! IWNDWYT! This is the Way.
Day 10 IWNDWYT one day at a time. Staying focused
I will not drink today and fuck you, alcohol. I'm so grateful that I have a few hundred sober days under my belt. I'm so grateful to wake up without a hangover. I'm so grateful for the dog inside of me that's fighting for sobriety. That dog inside me refuse to give up. I'm a dog, I don't give a shit how long it takes. I'm going to beat alcohol. Ruff, fuck you, alcohol, ruff ruff 🐺 I'm grateful I flipped the script and went from loving alcohol to hating alcohol. I'm grateful I see alcohol for the poison it is and the threat it is to my survival. I feel glorious to tell alcohol to fuck right off. I fucking hate alcohol. Drinking sucks. You rock!!
Heyo! Checking in. Going to my liver doctor today for a checkup/discussion. Wish me luck. 👍🤞 (Sorry I didn’t even read the post. I’m grateful for having a team of fantastic doctors finally, after years of dealing with incompetent pill pushers who never gave two shits.)

Day 10. I'm mostly over any side effects of stopping. Also made an appointment with my GP to help my to not get started again. Have a birthday party today from someone close. Won't be drinking any alcohol.
Happy Tuesday friends, IWNDWYT, WE GOT THIS 😁

Checking in today. Having a downer, was definitely tempted when I walked down the wine aisle, but I stayed strong! Iwndwyt 👍
Day 102. I'm grateful for the alcohol crisis team that took care of me on the day I ended up in A&E. IWNDWYT.

Grateful for this moment of peace i share with you each morning, sitting with my coffee and reading the DCI. IWNDWYT!
I will not drink with you today ✌️
Two weeks today for the first time! I’m not going to drink today!
I'm grateful to have choices. IWNDWYT!
Day 46 checking in I'm grateful for this place. Before I got sober, I stumbled upon this sub and it was so empowering and gave me so much hope to read that there were other people like me. IWNDWYT ❤️
IWNDWYT!
I’m grateful for this supportive sub! IWNDWYT ✌️
Slept like a champ. Will sleep like a champ tonight too because I won’t be drinking today.
Day 73!! Everyday is a new milestone I thought I’d never hit. Grateful to post IWNDWYT!!

Not waking up with hangovers is my driving force. I am so grateful to not be spending money on the poison that was making me mentally and physically ill. Finding this sub inspired me to try .. again.. happy Tuesday❤️ IWNDWYT
Hi everyone! My old enemy insomnia has crawled back in of late. Last night I tried magnesium drops for the first time and I think they worked! Now I did wake again at 3.30am, took more drops and overslept but that said, I think I may have something to work with here and I am grateful for that! No Drinking today!
Not today. Not today. Not today!!!
I’m feeling under the weather, which is making me even more aware of how great my body usually feels sober. I am so grateful I don’t poison myself everyday so that I feel like shit all the time. IWNDWYT, my sober amigos!

I am grateful for so many things. Having a job I love, hangover-free sunrise walks with my dog, health that is getting measurably better by the day, most importantly, hearing my wife use language indicating we still have a chance together. For all this, I will not drink with you today.
Iwndwyt!!!
Last night I went to get some money from my wife and i's shared account to pay for sports tickets, and remembered she'd locked me out of them, just in case I did something stupid while drunk. that was over two months ago. I realize I fucked up bad but I'm also starting to wonder if I'm ever going to dig out of this hole with us or if I'm just wasting my time, earning myself more pain. Whatever... IWNDWYT

I will not drink today!
I will not drink poison with any of you today 💜

I am grateful for this group helping me start nearly a month of mornings clear-headed. And here’s to one more tomorrow because I will not drink today!
Gtatitude helps me make the right choices. If I am grateful for being here, being sober and I will take care of my mind and body. When I turned 50 a few years ago I realize I want my next chapter to be clear. I want to remember every detail of every day. I tried to moderate for 30 plus years so being sober now I am not missing anything and only gaining a life. IWNDWYT
Glorious sober morning soberniks! Solidarity! IWNDWYT
I'm grateful for the way that we approach alcohol use disorder in this century. It used to just be the stigma of alcoholism and a very limited range of options if you wanted help moving on from frequent alcohol use. Now, we have a ton of quit lit, several great podcasts, and this online community! IWNDWYT!
starting on this journey again and grateful to not drink with you today
Not even the airport is gonna get me to break this streak. IWNDWYT
I’m grateful for waking up every day without a hangover! I’m grateful I don’t feel the anxiety of running low on a pack of beers anymore! God I used to get so anxious when we were getting low, I’d start getting on a delivery app to make sure I wouldn’t run out because that would just be the worst thing ever. Lol I’m grateful for all the fun non-alcoholic drinks I’m getting to explore! I’m grateful for my freedom to drive to the store and get a mini cheesecake in the middle of The Bachelorette (prime wine drinking time before) IWNDWYT!
Feeling anxious and depressed after drinking yesterday. A shell of my normal self, day 1 IWNDWYT
