Good morning sober peeps!!

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 used to be big on Untappd and logged thousands of different beers on there. As a result I have a lot of photos of beer that Google Photos insists on showing me as "memories" from past years. It just showed me some from three years ago, and I know I binged, got more drunk than I wanted (not really, but I told myself that) which in turn made me more miserable. Drinking gave me a brief respite from feeling bad but amplified it in the long term. I'm much better off sober and healthy.

I will not drink with you today, this week, month or even year! Stay strong.
