Good morning, fellow sobernauts, IWNDWYT, 😁!

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/stop drinking 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, let’s not drink alcohol!

    decided to continue smoking weed for the foreseeable future and to stop beating myself up for getting high. it’s nowhere near as damage-y, booze nearly killed me 6 times between car accidents and suey attempts. as long as I’m not drinking I’m doing ok. 81 love yas

      I’m sure I’ve said it before, but one thing at a time.

      “I’m going to give up booze and start couch to 5K and learn Ancient Babylonian and volunteer at the community garden and do all the housework and start walking to work and go on a diet and give up sugar and stop smoking.” Stop it. You’re going to get your head round “doing stuff without pouring booze on it” first, and heal from that toxic relationship first. This stuff is hard, why make it harder, and set yourself up for an increased risk of failure?

        “pouring booze on it” lmfao everything I dislike, pour some booze on it, suddenly it’s fantastic. the main thing is no adhd meds for now, but that’s what the weeds for. idk I’ll have it all figured out tomorrow
