This is a place to motivate each other to control or stop drinking. It is also a place for non drinkers to discuss and share.

We welcome anyone who wishes to join in by asking for advice, sharing our experiences and stories, or just encouraging someone who is trying to quit or cut down.

Please post only when sober; you’re welcome to read in the meanwhile.

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!

I need to stop drinking. I binge drink once a week. I drink a lot. I can't stop convincing myself that this is the last time. I don't want to drink anymore. I feel like I can stop.

welcome, we're glad to have you here 🙂 There's lots of pinned posts with various resources for you to explore.

I'm a bit of a magpie, so my personal sober journey has been "try that, see if it works," rather than a 12-step programme. Someone else referred to "painting rocks green" sobriety - if painting rocks green keeps you sober, then paint those rocks, and we'll help you do that.
