The Daily Check-in for Saturday September 28th - 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!
evening all, had a great day never done so much exercise, hit the pool for the first time in years only 5 laps, nearly died gotta quit smoking. then ben the music therapist rocks up, brought a tongue drum which was fun as fk only got a minute to play and the nurse said, davie your mum's down at reception so I bolt down the hallway and stairs across the courtyard rip open the door and big long happy tears hug, we go out and dad's standing there with muffin and she went beserk licking my face, cuddles and paw prints on my clean white shirt which I refuse to wash or take off cause they make me happy to look at. there's a communal dog toy in the courtyard so I ran back and grabbed that, she had it in 3 pieces in half an hour omg pumpkin that doesn't belong to you. she's a very good girl sometimes. I couldn't keep my skateboard at the ward so I sprint back to the ward tell the nurses were heading out back in about 2hrs, sprint back again fucking dying but not stopping I was so hyped. went to fonzys dropped off the board grabbed lunch and more fetch at the park. saw some horse nerds playing polo that was, unique. it was really tough seeing her little face out the window looking back at me when they drove off, but she's very proud of her new and improved dad.
oh and mum picked up my higher power necklace i only wear it when I'm sober, so it hasn't been worn much it's a kiwi jade fish hook and it keeps me safe. having a shit time I hold on to it. having a good time I hold on to it. just chilling I hold on to it.
story goes maui made a fish hook from his grandmothers jawbone and used it to pull up a fish so big it became the north island of new zealand. felt empty and alone without it, now I feel complete
fonz is picking me up tomorrow early and we're going to skate for 8hrs and be back in time for AA at 4. very keen. double digits tomorrow, im really kicking goals over here guys, and I fkn love checking in here, such a tight lil community and if anyone wants to talk about anything im happy to. hope you all had as good of a day as I did. take care
