The Daily Checkin for Pre-Friday April 18th - Just For Today, We Are NOT Drinking!!
(self.stopdrinking)
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.
Suggestions for cravings: go to the gym/exercise, go for a hike/walk and get out into nature, go see a movie in the theater, find a new shop that sells stuff you are interested in and go explore, buy a new board/card game and play it with partner and or friends, do the housework you have been neglecting 😬, see if there are any local concerts and grab some tickets, occupy your mouth with your favorite drink or snack, go volunteer somewhere like the humane society and meet new people, pick up a new hobby like pickleball or frisbee golf, start reading a new book, go test drive a nice car, put on some sunscreen and bug repellant and just go pass out at a local park for a few hours, go to some local thrift stores, get on Nextdoor and respond to some local help wanted posts and make a bit of extra money, go geocaching, wash your car and detail the interior, go to the local library and ask a librarian for book suggestions, find a local casual sports club like softball and join up, go to that local restaurant you’ve keep meaning to try for the past three years
