What you giving up for lent?

Good luck to everyone giving up something. Im going to give up energy drinks. These next 40 days will be rough but if i can go 55 days (as of today) not drinking alcohol then i can stop drinking these too. Here goes nothing

Iā€™ll give up FB for lent. Taking a break from social media in general and deleted Snapchat, IG and FB off my phone two days ago. I have waisted so much of my time on these apps :eyes:

Well. Partway into day 1 of LENT. Still have not said a curse word today. I am aware that I might not even notice when I do it, since itā€™s woven into my vocabulary, but I am certain that so far today ā€“ no bad words. Even on my run, where a winded f-bomb will occasionally pass my lips (swearing makes running easier, everyone knows that). Nope, not today!

I believe we do have a Bronie. I forget who it is. It was in one of the confession threads.

Welp. I swore. F-Bomb.

My Dad was in the house working on something for us. When we talk, swearing is just part of the vocabularyā€¦just kinda slipped out, but I did catch myself right away.

Whatā€™s the deal now? Do I just keep going, knowing I am trying my best to not swear, or have I failed lent?

Sounded like your motivation was not to observe Lent in the traditional sense (of which I donā€™t know the rules), but as inspiration to practice your discipline, so I would say based on that it serves you to keep going if thatā€™s still what you want.

To me Lent is very much about penance. Iā€™d make a sincere apology/confession and press onward with the commitment.

Like sobriety, progress rather than perfection. Growth rather than, ā€œAh, well! I tried. :man_shrugging:ā€
