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!

If people ask me about moderating I just shrug and say "I'm basically lazy and moderating was hard work and who wants hard work on a Friday night?"

You know: setting rules about your drinking. Coming up with ways to break those rules. Feeling guilty for breaking the rules. All I have to do is "not drink alcohol", rather than argue with myself over whether "it's Tuesday" is a special enough occasion for me to have a glass of wine or not. Spoiler: it always was and now the bottle is open I might as well finish it.
