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!

Went to a wedding. Gave a toast to the bride and groom with sparking apple juice. (1 week down. 33 to go)

Nice. Just curious what happens at 33 weeks?

I keep setting new goals for myself like 1 week, 1 month, 1 quarter, 1 half year, etc. But personally I think I'm finally reckoning with the feeling that I just don't drink anymore, so maybe I'll just stop counting...

Pardon the personal tangent.

Computer upgrade. An average bottle of alcohol is $50, so if i save that money every week, i can treat myself then.

[–] Zerlyna 2 points 2 weeks ago

That’s a formidable goal!!

Ohhh I like your thinking. People should treat themselves more often

Reminds me of how I felt like I'd got a raise or something when I quit smoking, and again with the drinking.
