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.

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 r/stopdrinking 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, lets not drink alcohol!

I wndwyt!

I started my journey to sobriety 3 years ago and never really made any leeway, but the seed was planted.

I’ve been more mindful of my alcohol consumption for about 2 months in which time I’ve only been drunk twice, yet have allowed myself to drink all that I want.

It’s been a crazy road of self discovery, and after a lot of soul seeking that goes back decades I finally realized what I was trying to escape from, and now I’m on the road to be the person I’ve always wanted to be, and I don’t even really want to drink because of how opposed to my goals it is in every way.

It’s been crazy.
