This is a place to motivate each other to control or stop drinking. It is also a place for non drinkers to discuss and share.

We welcome anyone who wishes to join in by asking for advice, sharing our experiences and stories, or just encouraging someone who is trying to quit or cut down.

Please post only when sober; you’re welcome to read in the meanwhile.

Shit! I just found out I'd been at this exact point before, and I didn't even remember it when I posted about my "first" Friday yesterday.

This post was also from me, 1 year ago on a different account:

And also this one where I wondered how to navigate an upcoming work outing at a beer festival:

I went to that festival, and I drank. Just "one last exception", cause I didn't want to make my sobriety official in front of my colleagues yet.

And that was that. Another year down the drain.

Everyday is a new day and a new opportunity. Don't dwell on the past of beat yourself up, we are not perfect beings, that is what makes you human. Don't think in years or month or even weeks about this, lets just do today and when tomorrow comes we'll tackle that tomorrow. IWNDWYT friend.
