Happy Friday peeps!! 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!

    day ten first proper cravings and horrible gut feeling like impending doom but made it through the day.

    Good morning, fellow sobernauts, IWNDWYT, despite the shock to the system of leaving 24C and sunny and arriving back to 5C and overcast.

    Day 12. Just want to say thank you for all you do. This community really is amazing. I don’t really know what my long-term goals are. I just know that the way I had been drinking up until about two weeks ago was leading to worse and worse outcomes and I needed to take a step back. Feeling pretty good. The anxiety of life in general is all still there but at least it isn’t compounded by a toxic cloud of guilt and shame. I have a job interview today. Wish me luck!

        Went really well I think, thanks! Trying not to get my hopes up too much, but felt really good. Bonded over some shared interests and felt like I had the headspace to do some proper preparation and clear my mind. Earned myself an extra coke zero after that :)
