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 think I'm going to take sobriety more honestly now. On Monday I was at work and threw up some stomach acid. I decided to take a half day and told my boss who was ok with it. I went to shut down my computer and next thing I knew I was in an ambulance. Just got out of hospital yesterday, supposedly I had a seizure from withdrawal.

Im taking next week off from work to take care of myself but that was scary and I don't want to go through that again. I knew I was getting bad but didn't expect it to be that bad. I never got wasted, just commonly had a buzz to feel normal. The hospital stay sucked and I was completely out of it for most of it. Now I can't drive for 3 months(not a dui but state law regarding seizures).
