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, let's not drink alcohol!

I'm two weeks sober again after doing medical detox. The insomnia is fucking killing me. The urge to drink myself to sleep is real lately. But I'm still in the mindset of staying sober for now at least.

Congrats on two weeks! It gets better. We are here for you rant away.

Congratulations, everyday that passes without drinking will bring the urge down. The beginning is hard but it gets better with time. Try to keep yourself busy, that also helps. Good luck in your journey.
