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!

I’ll be hosting this week, so, good morning, fellow sobernauts, IWNDWYT 😁!

I think that’s the hardest part for me, breaking those associations that have been slowly built up over time. My body might be detoxed, but damn if those patterns and traditions don’t still exist in my head. I’m working on replacing them with new ones so I have something else to take its place and I don’t feel like I’m missing out on something, but yeah, it can be tough. Good on you tho and that reminds me, I need to get some stuff for smores, lol

It's crazy how our fucked-up minds' cravings attach themselves to things that way, ain't it? "Patterns and traditions:" that's the perfect way to describe it.. I've got a feeling it's gonna be a long road to retrain my mind and body where those things are concerned. Just took a few minutes to watch the ISS flyby, maybe that's something I never really associated with getting hammered! My Girl waved at em, because she's a whole-assed dork!

Get ya some grahams and Hershey bars, man! Bag of marshmallows, couple sticks, it's finally rolling around to spring here, gotta clean my damn kayaks up and get ready. Have a ball on the other side of the world!
