This is a place to motivate each other to control or stop drinking. It is also a place for non drinkers to discuss and share.

We welcome anyone who wishes to join in by asking for advice, sharing our experiences and stories, or just encouraging someone who is trying to quit or cut down.

Please post only when sober; you’re welcome to read in the meanwhile.

Good morning all!

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!

I will not drink with you!

So, updates. All my tests were clear and I am in really good shape, which is cool but they couldnt get my heart to misbehave in the cath lab to try and fix things, so I got a loop recorder and am probably going home tomorrow or next day. Going to have been here for like 4-5 days. Thank god I have good insurance.

In conclusion, I’m alive! lol

Oh good I was about to ask! Welcome back to your own bed and pillow. :)

[–] CheesyGordita 3 points 4 months ago

Oh yeah. The first night was awful sleep wise but my wife brought my pillow in and things were much better the next. I’ve even started taking my pillow on vacation while I can and that has made a big difference.

You never know how much you appreciate your own bed until you are forced to not sleep in it for a while!

Glad you’re alive and almost home!
