enjoying my first sober holiday season. went to a trail of lights with my husband and kids last night and had an amazing time. would not have thought that was possible a year ago. not drinking with y'all today!
feeling like I may have finally found the right medication combo to treat my ADHD, anxiety and depression. I used to heavily medicate my conditions with alcohol (among other things in my early 20s). I know I would not be getting the same benefits from therapy and meds if I were still drinking. proud and grateful. IWNDWYT.
took my kids to a pumpkin patch yesterday, which had a beer and wine tent. last year I would've been so focused on drinking as much as possible. this time around I just enjoyed being with my kids and seeing them have a blast. another proud moment along the way. IWNDWYT 🎃
day 2 of my first trip to Montana with my husband. normally I would have turned this into an excuse to drink most of the day, every day. this time around I am up at 630 looking at the stars until the sun comes up and enjoying my coffee. no desire to drink and dull my senses in this beautiful place. not drinking with y'all today.
dealing with anxiety, depression and ADHD. been rough trying to find the right meds. I know that alcohol would make this a lot harder. not drinking with y'all today.
you sound a lot like me. I'm 36, mom of 2, live an active lifestyle. honestly I've found that sobriety is so much easier than drinking. I don't have to worry about drinking too much, or following any of the rules I'd put in place to try to moderate (unsuccessfully). I'm so glad I don't have to deal with that guilt and anxiety every morning. there are still lots of times I want to mentally check out but I've come to realize alcohol is not a way to do that. good luck OP 🖤
Thank you for sharing- you got this! I mostly lurk here but it really helps me stay motivated on the days where my mind tries to convince me I can just have a drink or two and be fine. Best of luck to you!
just hosted a pool party with some of my daughter's friends and their families. had a blast, alcohol never even crossed my mind. 6 months ago I would've been drinking the entire time, just because I was in the pool. not drinking with y'all today!
you've got this! I went on an all-inclusive vacation in February that ended up being part of the reason I quit drinking. there is a lot I don't remember about being in that beautiful place on the beach.
not drinking with y'all today!
not drinking with y'all on this beautiful Christmas Day!
