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.

For the next 24 hours, let’s not drink alcohol!

Have a fantastic Friday everyone!! :) Sober on, my friends!

Happy Friday everyone! Day 34 for me. Drove through a horrible storm yesterday afternoon on my way home from training, had to pull over for all of the hail. I was so relieved to get home, I opened an NA beer in celebration. In the past, I would have used this kind of thing to drink all evening to "relieve the stress". But I actually did the best self care last night by taking a shower, getting into comfy pajamas, and going to bed early. This sober life is good stuff. Not drinking poisonous alcohol today, let's do this!

Awesome, thanks for sharing your story! Good on you to not drink alcohol. Alcohol is a temporary stress reliever, but the stress comes back twice as strong the next day, it doesn't solve any issues.

Take care and congrats on reaching day 34!

Congratulations on being sober for over a month. That's huge!
