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!

I haven't had a drink for about 5 weeks now. I'm not filled with a desire to drink everyday when I get home, but every once in a while there are moments where I get a craving. I'm sleeping better and my skin looks great. I don't look as tired as I used to. While I did lose some weight... it seems to have hit a speed bump and slowed down. I really need to put in effort to lose weight now.

I hope you all stay sober today and wish you luck! IWNDWYT

The sleep quality is a game changer!

Good on you!

Don't worry about the weight loss. Just stay sober. If you get a craving, sugar may help as well. The weight loss can come later, you're already much healthier than before.

Are you exercising? I started fitness when I quit drinking and now have a home gym. Super convenient. It's a good stress reliever.

I walk the doggo a fair amount and also have a home gym (recumbent stationary bike, steam link + tv to game with). I'm down about 8 pounds over the past month, which is great. I just need to put the work in and I'm sure some more will come off.
