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!

Thank you! I'm working on week two, and it's beginning to be more clear to me; realizing I went a lot further than I thought I'd gone. I'm feeling much better in some ways, much different in others: good and harsh. I'm really fighting it off every now and then, but mostly I'm okay.

I got this shit! And so do you.

I feel you, I'm a little over a year at this point, was just talking with my partner about how i cant believe we are both sober now, going to breweries and drinking was leget the majority of our personalities before and our alcoholism kept us from acheiving so much in the past. Pretty soon it will get MUCH easier and it will feel like you are soaring. I even quit smoking pot a few months back. Just dont be afraid to see a doctor if its still rough, I'm on antidepressants to treat the depression and anxiety i was self medicating for with alcohol and copious amounts of weed.
