Daily Pledge, Bonfires and Quit Celebrations: Traditions born from the members
Happy September everyone, welcome to the Daily Pledge in the Celebrations & Events community where we can meet daily to take each other's hands and make our commitment stronger.
The Pledge Page is a simple but very effective tool for those in all stages of the quit journey. Whether we are new, or have been quit for a while, it helps to hold ourselves accountable for the brave and magnificent decision we've made to better our health.
It doesn't matter what time of day you come here to make your pledge. Sometimes you may want to pledge twice if you're having a particularly hard day. And that's ok! Know that you're not alone on this journey and that there are many hands to hold as you walk forth. Have heart. Chin up. Believe that it will get better! And be PROUD of YOU!
A special mention to Pops (Ken) who did such a magnificent job with this Pledge Page. Sorry you left us. You are missed. Hope you come back some day.
If there is anyone interested in taking over the Pledge Page - please let it be known. I'm just filling in for now.

I will take lovely Bree's hand and pledge to not smoke! Here is my other hand for the next in line!
Got your hand Lynne, thanks. Will not smoke today no matter what. Period. Love the flower picture Jennifer-Quit! Since I'm always up past midnight I guess I'm always the first one to pledge on the "new day". So here's my hand held out for the next 'normal morning' quitter! I think the image below should be in the opposite direction with the whole thing inverted... but - that's MY brain. We generally read from top to bottom. Either way you look at it, it makes positive sense - that progression from "I will not" to "I managed to." I think there is one more level on that ladder/those steps to success, however. And that would be "I maintained that success." For managing to quit for one day is a lot different than managing to quit for a thousand days. And ultimately it's those thousands of days we come here daily to pledge for one day at a time. Just a passing thought here at 1 a.m. before bed.
My version:
BELIEVE IN YOURSELF
I will not
I cannot
I want
How?
I will try
I can
I will succeed
I managed to
I will keep that success!
It's the end of my first day smoke-free, amd I take your hand amd pledge not to smoke today, tomorrow, or EVER again.
In reply to your opinion on the inverted photo, I think it's showing how you start off at the bottom of the stairs kf quitting, and as you begin to succeed, you climb up!
I hold my hand out to the nEXt
