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!

How is the detox going otherwise? What are the positives so far?

it's been the most difficult detox, they're so stingy with the benzos and j didn't sleep for the first 3 days, had an altercation with a nurse who did my obs, asking me how distressed I am after the nightmare and I said 10, maximum. she said no you're about a 4 I've seen people at 10 and you're not it, I was like BITCH YOUVE NEVER SEEN ME. asked her name and told her she's not fit to push a broom and go rot in a nursing home and to never talk to me again, way more happened but I'm so distressed I won't go into it. so frustrating not being listened to and I'm putting in a complaint when the nurse manager gets here in 20mins. looking forward to the rehab side. sorry for being vulgar feel free to delete this
