The Daily Check-in for 10 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!
From Belle Robertson, "Tired of Thinking about Drinking": "the only voice you need to amplify is the one that believes in you. when fear (or doubt) turns up the volume, itâs your job to dial it back and listen to the quiet voice that says âyouâre doing this. keep going. not today.â thatâs the voice that can lead you out of the noise. and into clarity."
i'm not someone who drinks on the regular; I usually go weeks or months without imbibing alcohol. But as you might guess ... there have been reasons, lately, that i hit the bottle harder than ever this week in particular. certain events had me craving the detached, numb sensation of 'not dealing with this shit right now'. Especially when the shit in question is something I have no power to 'deal with'. but seeing this post right now, i believe i shall perhaps abstain today...
Welcome, we're glad to have you here.
Not drinking today.
I shall not drink today, and I am so glad that you all are joining me.
