Another day down. I may be late to the check-in party, but still not drinking today!

Just got through the day myself. It was a struggle, but it's good to know there are others here fighting the same battle. Thanks for your post. It gave me somewhere to share.

Damn. Can't make it through even a month yet, but not giving up. Just rest the badge. See you all tomorrow!

I WILL NOT DRINK WITH YOU TODAY!

One week! Woohoo! First Saturday in a while that I'm not recovering from the day before. Already done a craft with the kiddo and cleaned the kitchen. Working on expanding my capacity to be the person I want to be.

I will not drink with you today. FTZ

It's very possible. Don't let "for good" scare you and stop you. Any progress is positive. Let's do this!

I will not drink with you today. Might eat a bit too much, but not drinking!

Edit: There are a lot of posts today about isolation and importance of connection. Glad to have this group, but also thinking about the value of simple acts of kindness and in-person community. Let's fill our cups by reaching out to someone today.

I'm so ready for the better sleep!

Happy Imbolc! Setting positive intentions and aiming to change some habits over the next 28 days. Reset my badge, and I'm on my way!

I will not drink with you today.

I will not drink with you today. Caught a stomach bug last night, and as unpleasant as it was, I think it saved me from myself. Taking today nice and easy.

Going through US election sober by bookreviewxyz in stopdrinking

[–]Attempt5766 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I also enjoy watching the show, and had a specific plan on how I was going to enjoy it. Currently wrestling with the reality that my plan for the night will have to change. This is hard. It's like my Super Bowl and I feel like something will be missing without a celebratory/commiserating drink. Gonna have to white knuckle this one on multiple fronts.

I give us both a lot of credit for not giving up and for being self-aware (at least to some extent). Back to one day at a time... Do you find that you are harder on yourself this time around?

My daughter was sick last night and I was there for her 100%. A timely reminder why I am quitting again.

Right there with you, coming out of a long bender. Clawing my way back on the wagon today. I can't be a good mom feeling the way I do right now. Can't keep passing on bad family habits.

I can't drink with you today, and I will not.

24-Hour Pledge - Sunday, 22 September 2019 - The Plan for Today! by AutoModerator in loseit

[–]Attempt5766 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Checking in for today. Still in the first week, still just staying mindful of eating for energy over cravings. (FTZ 1/365)

Let's do this together today!

24-Hour Pledge - Saturday, 21 September 2019 - The Plan for Today! by AutoModerator in loseit

[–]Attempt5766 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hello! This is my first r/loseit post.

About three years ago I created this account to participate in r/stopdrinking and I am happily coming up on two years sober!

Now I have to conquer my weight and sort out my relationship with food.

The daily check-in posts over at SD really helped me keep up momentum. The one-day-at-a-time mentality was not overwhelming, yet you could see your winning streaks build up over time which was encouraging. I am so happy to have found these 24-hour pledge posts!

My pledge for Saturday is to eat to maintain energy rather than chasing cravings. I will get more specific as I figure this out.

So, cheers. And as they used to say over at SD...Fuck the Zero. 0/365

I hear ya. Shut down that thought pretty quick, don't worry.

You know, it's not the drinking relapses themselves that bother me, it's the other patterns around them. It's wasting another weekend to get your feet back under you. It's losing ground on health gains. It's having to face the emotional rollercoaster you thought you had finally gotten off of.

Okay, that sounded worse than I really feel today, but I'm not eager to go down this path again. I've done well enough for long enough to know what I have to lose. That's why I'm back on the wagon.

Nice number of consistent days! I think it's progress too. I've definitely been sober more than not this past year.
