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!

105 days. Was yesterday for the first time in a restaurant that serves alcohol, with people drinking, was OK. I hated the giant TVs with football, the loud music, the smoke-filled athmosphere. And the French fries where cold.

I didn't mind the booze. I know I will always crave it, day in day out, from waking up till falling asleep, and also that it is not the answer.

I don't crave booze. I used to think i'd always have to live my life wanting to drink and choosing not too. But i trained my mind to not even want it anymore.... There's no wrong way to do sober. I'm just saying it doesn't have to feel that way. I didn't for me at least.
