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 news everyone! It’s Friday! Imma celebrate by getting a steak… and maybe a slushie and some gummy bears because I’m a child in a man’s body.

Sounds like a man's meal to me... You a lumberjack?

Haha, my grandpa actually was and I’m built like one but sadly I’m just a boring, lowly code monkey. But I’m thinking about getting out of the tech field soon anyways.

Oh yeah!? What's got your attention? (If ya don't mind me asking?..)

I tried to learn a bit of code back in the day, never really made it past "Hello World!" In Python... It's a pretty dedicated and ever evolving field. I'm a greasy old heavy truck mechanic. And I fucking love that shit! Hope you're getting into something you love to wake up and dive into every day, man. It makes a real difference, I think.

I was contemplating a dinner of microwavable corn dogs, egg rolls, and pierogies myself 😂

I like to pretend like I'm 12 years old on Friday night again! Sometimes I even break into my retro gaming collection (though I've swapped the Mountain Dew out for Diet Coke, because Holy SHIT is that diabetes in a can?)

Update: I did have a super grown-up dinner of microwaveable corn dogs, chicken egg rolls, valentines day chocolate, and Diet Coke.

With a side of Cyberpunk 2077 for dessert! Adulting hard this evening! 😂
