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!

friend of mine from AA told me to buy a black suit. I thought shit, yeah you're right, I'll make friends and lose them. so I tried mine on she still fits, and I realised my first use of it could have been for my own funeral, or another driver I could've killed. grateful to have a pulse, and that I didnt stop anyone elses.

sorry for the grim share but that's part of the reality of this illness, iwndwyt. day 5. love yous

Nice job at day 5! You got this.

And I would say its positively grim. Still thinking of death but also acknowledging the harm youre not doing is positive still.
