The Daily Check-in for Friday March 15th - Just for Today, We are Not Drinking!
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, let’s not drink alcohol!
I’ll be hosting this week, so, good morning, fellow sobernauts, IWNDWYT 😁!
Had an intense craving last night right as I walked to the corner store where I would usually pick up. Managed to sit my ass on the curb for a few, call a friend and chat till it passed, and went home with a six pack of coke zero instead of booze.
I'm thinking about quitting smoking soon as well. Anyone had experience with that? I don't wanna risk the two weeks I've put together if others think it might make early sobriety harder. Would love to hear your thoughts
I have not smoked and I think it's great that you are quitting. Although I'm not a coke zero fan. Has this weird flavor that reminds me of lemon pledge (not that I've tasted it!) I do like the Pepsi zero....
Honestly, no fuckin way could I have given up my smokes during my first month... I don't know how your will power is, but for me, no damn way. Although, after 28 days sober, I fucked that up, too. Just for a night, but either way.. If you can handle both, then take care of your sweet assed lungs, but I don't think I'm ready to give up my cigarettes, yet. Maybe this year, maybe not.. Good luck with it. Glad to hear you turned a craving into a triumph!
Yeah I think I might wait. I need to quit though cuz they keep getting more expensive and I haven't had a job since November. Plus I chain smoke especially when I'm early in sobriety. Helps with the nerves and cravings - or at least it feels like it does.
