The Daily Check-in for 7 November 2024 - just for today, we are not drinking!
Good morning fellow sobernauts, IWNDWYT đ!
We may be anonymous strangers on the internet, but we have one thing in common. We may be a world apart, but weâre here together!
Welcome to the 24 hour pledge! Iâm pledging myself to not drinking today, and invite you to do the same.
Maybe youâre new to c/stop drinking and have a hard time deciding what to do next. Maybe youâre like me and feel you need a daily commitment or maybe youâve been sober for a long time and want to inspire others.
It doesnât matter if youâre still hung over from a three day bender or been sober for years, if you just woke up or have already completed a sober day. For the next 24 hours, letâs not drink alcohol!
For everyone whoâs anxious about the coming days, donât let that take your sobriety away from you. Have a plan for these days. Weâll be here if you want to vent.
I've quit a couple of times; 1.5 years, 10 months, and a few shorter stints. A few days ago I decided it was time again. 2 days sober now and it's rough, especially with the election results (terrible time to quit LOL).
I'm not sure how long I can make it this time but I'm taking the 24 hour pledge to not drink. Wish me luck.
The longest I went before this was 4 months. I feel like this is for good now.
Even if I had a lapse, which I don't expect, I wouldn't return to habitual drinking.
Progress is non-linear. All those previous times contributed to learning and developing skills and coping without substance! Every day you don't drink is good for you on many levels.
