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.

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!

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.
