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! 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!

That’s an idea, thanks.

I don’t have sober supports, I only knew that I will never achieve my entrepreneurial dream if I kept drinking. I also made a pact that my money will not touch alcohol.

And since last night I was thinking "well, maybe except for this Thursday evening 🤷🏻‍♂️"

But I was busy cleaning an old fridge since this morning and delayed going to the shop until I had at least finish the cleaning and assess later. Which is done now and I’m more tired than thinking about going to the store.

"Not now, maybe later," is a surprisingly powerful tool.
