Good morning sober family!

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'm just a couple weeks away from two years no alcohol 🎉 I'm currently out of state, like 30 hours until an important surgery I've been planning for a long time, idk if I would have gotten my shit together enough for this if I were still drunk every day. I was on the verge of having a high enough BMI for my surgery to be denied but quitting alcohol helped me get into a proper weight range. Soon I start a liquid diet for a day so while I'll be doing a lot of drinking it's going to be all pedialyte and filtered stock 💪 We got this

Congratulations! 🥳

Wishing you a speedy recovery after surgery.

Thank you ❤️ In theory this is one that people bounce back from well and I've spent the last couple years getting myself in decent shape so I'm pretty confident
