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/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, let’s not drink alcohol!

Right.

I went to a few meetings a couple of different times (gotta admit they were court ordered) and had really good experience with them. I fell off after a while and eventually went back to casually drinking and on into every day drinking, and eventually into frequent blackout drinking, again. There's nothing bad I can really say about those meetings, it was helpful to have people around me that were really doing the damn thing. And if I get overwhelmed, I will absolutely hit the meetings again, but of my own decision this time.

Thank you for taking the time to remind me that they're there.

This is a place to motivate each other to control or stop drinking. It is also a place for non drinkers to discuss and share.

We welcome anyone who wishes to join in by asking for advice, sharing our experiences and stories, or just encouraging someone who is trying to quit or cut down.

Please post only when sober; you’re welcome to read in the meanwhile.
