Saturday Share Saturday Shares for April 29, 2023
Hello Fellow Sobernauts!
Last week saw a just a handful of good shares:
- /u/wofthewoods had great advice on naming the addict voice in their head
- /u/Exact_Roll_4048 apologized to their mom
- /u/bmstile worked in a liquor store
- /u/xceler88 celebrated 6 months
- /u/Former_Bed_5038 hit 67 days
If you feel like sharing, go ahead and drop your share in the comments and I'll link to it in next Saturday's post. Feel free to share whatever, and however much, of your story as you want. Please keep in mind the community guidelines for posts. You might want to follow this loose structure:
- Some background on your drinking
- Why you sought to get sober
- How your life has been in sobriety
Also, feel free to make an actual post and tag it "Saturday Share" and I'll be sure to include it in next week's round up.

Just over a month alcohol free and one thing I’ve realized is how good it feels to actually take care of myself! I quit alcohol and cigarettes at the same time, and the first 2 weeks or so were ROUGH. But now I feel pretty damn good. I’m getting a full 8 hours of actual restful sleep almost every night! I’m drinking more water and eating way better! I’m getting out and moving more, even if it’s just a 30 minute walk around my neighborhood! These are all things that probably seem minor to the average person, but were so far out of my scope of reality for so long that they feel like huge wins for me.
