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!

    I’m trying this today. It has been so hard to stop drinking. I can go a few days but then fall back nearly every weekend. I just don’t want to feel like it is so needed anymore.

      What scuppered me for a long time was not having non-alcoholic drinks at home that I actually liked (apart from coffee, but I don’t drink that past noon). So I’d go to the fridge, and there’d be nothing, and I’d go “ugh,” and go and buy wine. So that’s my first tip - get some nice drinks in that you like.

      Super hard to get started! Keep trying, you’re doing something good for yourself. You’ve got this!
