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, let's not drink alcohol!

I will not be drinking today. Officially 2 months today since my last drink. Some days are harder than others, but overall drinking at night as I used to do is starting to become a past memory. Except when watching a show or movie and someone is drinking, that gives me a little urge to drink. But not a strong one that I have problems to dismiss, just an used to feel good while drinking feeling . Once I reminded myself how bad I used to feel the next day after drinking, the urge just disappeared. It feels good to wake up in the morning without the fear of what I said, texted the night before, and of course no headache. My energy went up about 2 to 3 weeks after I stopped drinking, but now I’m back to being tired again, hopefully I’ll get it back up again. Good luck everyone in your journey.
