Zerlyna must be busy today so I figured I'd just affirm that today, January 1st I will be happy to not drink alcohol with you today.

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!

Good to hear they treated you well and didn't push you. And yep I get you, why stop after a bottle? The whole idea of NY for me used to be that there were no limits, I could drink continuously as long as I wanted. NY day, I could drink at breakfast, to get rid of the hangover, and continue the drinking.

But most people can drink normally and stop when they want. We're not like them. Sorry.
