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!

I'm been irritable these past few days. Not enough sleep, college planning for the oldest, new school for the youngest.

Time for some mindfulness. I need to regain my center. If I were drinking, everything would be so much worse. I'd be more tired, more irritable, and everyone would be sick of my sh*t instead of giving me the benefit of the doubt.

I will not drink today.

I have been considering looking into mindfulness meditation again, thanks for the reminder!
