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 can definitely relate to that. Consequently I rarely go to social events anymore. I usually decide if booze is the main feature of the event and decide to go based on that. The NA brew comes in handy to make you look like your part of the party so no one has those questions about why youre not 'having fun' like the rest of them. It can be demoralizing to someone aspiring to a more sober self.

A nice hike is always a great option! Hope it goes well for you if you decide to go. I hear you on the phone thing 😅
