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!

Today is my 41th birthday. I’ve stopped drinking for almost 6 months thanks to the book "this naked mind" but I used my divorce to drink again.

When I’ve received the official court papers stating that it was finished in January this year, I took it hard and used it as an excuse to drink again.

Since then it has been a shit show. A show that I want to definitely end tonight. A show that I will end tonight.

So today is my goodbye alcohol day. On my birthday I’m getting sick for the last time. My last day of abuse. Tonight I will probably puke, I will feel bad about myself, but don’t worry I will come home safe and start a new life after that.

I’ll post tomorrow for day one.
