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 c/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!

Happy Monday! I have to deal with some highly annoying coworkers all week and a lot of distraction. I'll find time to isolate and reset as needed. This kind of thing drains me and sets me up for drinks in the evening to dull out. Strangely excited to figure out some new coping skills that don't involve alcohol or numbing out. No drinking for me today, no matter how overstimulated I get (any advice or tricks that you have are greatly appreciated).

Staying busy helps me. Since I got custody of my niece at Christmas every day is a blur after work but it’s made resisting the urge easier. Walking helps too. That’s my two cents!
