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!

Start of my usual week of stress, but I will not be using alcohol to cope

I've been irritable lately. I can't imagine how bad I'd be if I were still drinking.

Me too. I’m sorry you are feeling that way. Feel free to vent.

Just came out of a funk myself. Instinct was to grab a bottle to deal with it, but I didn’t this time. It was hard but it was much better in the end without it, even if I was a bit more grouchy haha. I’m hoping those “funks/slumps” will become fewer and will be easier to deal with as time goes on while staying sober.

Good on you

Not excited for the end of the weekend but I am excited I’m not hung over, IWNDWYT
