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 on ya! I always get a bit nervous about stressful situations and not being able to drink since that’s how I “dealt” with them for the past 5 years or so, but it’s gotten easier.

We actually had a dinner with some friends and new people we hadnt met last night and they were making drinks and I asked them to make ours virgin. Was worried about what they would say and how it would go me being sober meeting new people, but they were super cool and supportive and everything went great. Keep it up and good luck with what you got going. I will not drink with you today.

Thanks, man. I got it. First time sober bowling, first time meeting My Girl's kid, and her ex.. Really good to go, so far. Having a damn smoke break outside and then back to the arcade. Man, I'm a much better fuckin dude sober.. I'm not drinking with ya today.

Really good to hear it went well with new people, I'm literally in that boat floating around right now!
