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.

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


(I am hosting the DCI on Reddit this week, so here goes both!)

Happy Sunday SD Family! If this is your first time, don’t worry, I’ll be gentle. 😉. And since is my first time hosting, I’m asking for gentleness in return. 😁 I’m counting down to my one year soberversary on Saturday and so thrilled to be celebrating here with you. I booked this week intentionally in December, partially to give myself a long term goal and commitment. I’m definitely terrified, have crippling stage fright, not sure what to say because so many people have written beautiful DCI’s. I’ve struggled for months thinking of what to bring to the table (it’s April as of this writing) and thought I would share some highlights and horrors from my journey so hopefully each day “speaks” with someone here on the same point… or reinvigorates others. 😁

Today is a bit early for 4 of July celebrations here in the US but some will still have gatherings (my neighborhood has a cookout today). Lots of alcohol will be flowing for sure. Last year I drank soda in front of the neighbors because I didn’t want to be seen as an alcoholic… and promptly started in on imbibing once I got home by myself. 😔 Please share tricks to help us all stay strong this holiday! (Happy belated Canada Day for my friends in the Great White North!)

I’ve got a kitty that doesn’t like them either. Good reminder I shouldn’t let her out on the deck the next few days.
