The Daily Checkin for Saturday September 30th - Just for Today, We are NOT Drinking! (self.stopdrinking)

We may be anonymous strangers on the internet, but we have one thing in common. We may be a world apart, but we’re here together!

Welcome to the 24 hour pledge! I’m pledging myself to not drinking today, and invite you to do the same.

Maybe you’re new to c/stopdrinking and have a hard time deciding what to do next. Maybe you’re like me and feel you need a daily commitment or maybe you’ve been sober for a long time and want to inspire others.

It doesn’t matter if you’re 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, lets not drink alcohol!

Im off out tonight with some friends for food. Going to be rough not to have 1-2 beers.

Oof! My thoughts are gonna be with you my dude! That's always a rough spot.

When I'm in this position, I like to cut deals with myself like "Fuck it. I'll be extra unhealthy and get the French fries and dessert (or whatever it is I'm eyeing on menu) so long as I don't have alcohol. I can always exercise off and eat less later. (Even though I rarely do that either 😂)"

Then I feel like I still get to indulge, but with food instead of the alcohol.

You got this!

I'm only 5 days in too 😮‍💨 Going to try some alcohol free beers.

5 days is great! There are many AF beers out there. I have not had, but have seen MANY recommendations for Athletic Brewing Company.

You can do it! We are here if you need us. :)

I failed. But i only had 3 beers all night rather than getting wasted...

Any improvement is an improvement. 💜

I have a weekend of selling my wood turned bowls at two artist fairs. Should be fun once it stops raining.

Keeping busy so I will not drink today.

[–] Zerlyna 4 points 1 year ago

Good luck! Your stuff is beautiful!

How did the first day go?

[–] Spacebar 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

9 sales yesterday, 10 sales today. Except today, twice as much money. People bought some really nice things today.

[–] Zerlyna 1 points 1 year ago

Great!

Last day of the month! I have NO plans today, I have my cats snuggling in bed with me now. Not sure they will let me get up!
