The Daily Checkin for Tuesday September 12th - Just for Today, We are NOT Drinking! (lemmy.world)

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!

IWNDWYT.

Question for the hivemind. I largely have navigated my sobriety journey alone with the the help of passively listening to podcasts or consuming quitlit and just recently started participating in the c/stopdrinking community. What resources and communities have you tried and what was your experience with them?

I tried at first with AA and that failed miserably. Quit lit helped, This Naked Mind was a game changer book for me. I found the stopdrinking group on that other site before the shitstorm happened. Oddly enough they asked me to be a mod but I declined to stick with Lemmy. I wish we had the counters showing. I might have to see if someone on GitHub wants a project. 🧐

Thanks for staying on Lemmy!

I didn't even bother with AA since it doesn't align with my beliefs. I like this community more than the other community. The smaller user presence has made this place feel more wholesome.

I totally agree with you all around. I had a hard time with the Higher Power. I love seeing the familiar user names all around lemmy. Like rings that all have a little overlapping all around. 😁
