We may have never met, but we have one thing in common. We may be on different continents, but we're together in this: We're not drinking today.

If you want to join us and not drink today you're welcome!

If you have already drunk today, please come back tomorrow, and good luck!

Feel free to share how your day is going, if you have any struggles, when things are going well, thoughts about things you want to change, etc.

I've taken that first step of admitting I'm addicted to alcohol about 15 years ago, maybe more. I've reset my clock several dozen times over the last decade. My longest stint i can recall 'recently' was four years ago, it was over one year dry. Seven months ago I had three months dry. Three months ago I had two weeks dry. Yesterday's was 24 hours dry.

Today... I reset my timer again.

Will you not drink with me today please? ๐Ÿ™

I'm not drinking with you today.

Do you have any idea what brought you back to drinking after stopping, and if you could do something other than drinking when that happens?

I think stupidity brings me back. Sometimes it's stress, sometimes it's just wanting to enjoy a decent craft beer, sometimes it's just the arrogance of thinking I can have just one to quell the thirst of a craving.

If I could do something else I usually get over it eventually, but I'm a weak man once I give in. One is never enough. I've kept it to beers recently, thank god, but once I start with liquor it's a rough path to find my way out of.

I need to find the light of sobriety again. I'm sick of this version of myself.
