I. Am. Back. :) Thank you rosamundi for the much needed break! Sober peeps how are you doing today??

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!

Hi all,

Grateful for another sober 24. I've had some extra meetings this week. It's been nice to be around more sober people. Some of them, I hadn't seen in years. Gold-plated problems, or not, it was a difficult week. I'm glad for the support.

We read the end of "my bottle, my resentments, and me" yesterday. I was reminded that getting sober can have a far-reaching, positive effect on society. Just being sober, responsive, and available is enough today.
