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!

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.
