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!

New here, and im new again if you know what i mean, had 4 years then bam.

I had 2 beers today. I'm trying to taper so my withdrawal isn't so bad cause i cant get the correct detox meds and inpatient isnt an option. Id go cold turkey but the panic attacks are horrendous, like puking cause they get so awful. Tomorrow I plan on having only one beer.

I want to be the old healthy version of myself I once was. I miss him. I miss waking up ready for the day and not wondering if I embarrassed myself the night before. I'm ready to love myself again but am not sure if I do now.

I'm hoping by Wednesday I can join you all in saying I'm not driking today! Sorry if this isn't the right spot as I'm only now finding the community.
