The Daily Check-In for Saturday October 28, 2017. I will celebrate today by committing to not drink for the next 24 hours.

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 r/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!

This pledge is a statement of intent. Today we don't set out trying not to drink, we make a conscious decision not to drink. It sounds simple, but all of us know it can be hard and sometimes impossible. The group can support and inspire us, yet only one person can decide if we drink today. Give that person the right mindset!

What happens if we can't keep to our pledge? We give up or try again. And since we're here in r/stopdrinking, we're not ready to give up.

What this is: A simple thread where we commit to not drinking alcohol for the next 24 hours, posting to show others that they're not alone and making a pledge to ourselves. Anybody can join and participate at any time, you do not have to be a regular at r/stopdrinking or have followed the pledges from the beginning.

What this isn't: A good place for a detailed introduction of yourself, directly seek advice or share lengthy stories. You'll get a more personal response in your own thread.

Good morning SD’ers and Happy Saturday!

I want to thank SD for the great community that it is and welcome our new host for next week u/mermaid2000!

Today I ask that everyone celebrate today whether you are posting day 1 or returning for the umpteenth time. The commitment is the same. It is a NDV to have made the decision to consciously commit to not drink for the next 24 hours. Regardless of what the past, today, right now is what matters the most.

Little different request/challenge for you folks. If you have the chance or are visiting the DCI later in the day after posting earlier, sort the comments by new and throw some support for those checking in later. Throw some karma to our West Coast SD’ers with an upvote and share the celebration of today with them. Hi West Coast SD’ers!!  Good morning u/ZippyTheWindUpClown if you are peeking in!

I will not drink today! Have a great day fellow SD’ers and enjoy some spooky Halloween stuffs if you can!
