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 not a drinker but I browse "all" pretty much all the time. I appreciate everything you guys do and I respect the hell out of you guys for trying to quit. Drinking is a hard thing to quit and I believe in you guys all the way. I've lost some good friends and family to drinking. Whether it was themselves or someone else that was the cause, I miss them. Nothing can bring them back, but seeing people doing what they can makes me happy.

I don't really have a point to make here. I just want you all to know I believe in you and seeing these posts always makes my day. I know I sound like a sappy and corny old man, but I'm actually just a late twenties dude that's stoked to see people trying to improve themselves.
