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!

Dude, you should be super proud of yourself for not drinking. Doesn’t matter how close you came, you didn’t, and that’s what fucking matters. Everytime you want to and you don’t, you get stronger. It’s like lifting weights. Can’t even tell you how much I admire you for where you are at right now. It took me at least a year of constant back and forth struggling before I got two solid weeks under my belt. Keep that shit up!

I was feeling down today and unmotivated but your success got me pumped. Imma grab a big glass of water and hit the gym. Thanks Lorax!

Man that really gives me a little bit of pride. Hope you gave it hell, man! Today's somewhat better, been cracking my skull against a pretty big problem at work, so pretty immersed on the old cognitive side. My body is a little harder to get adjusted, but getting there. I've got so much more get up and give 'er, though! And that's a damn good thing. I'd gotten pretty sluggish, considering.. Just hadn't really noticed it. Strange as that may sound..

Really glad you found some motivation, man. This little spot in the Lemmy World has really been a good thing for me.

Let's do it again tomorrow, brother! Keep getting a little further away from that bullshit every damn day!

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.
