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/stop drinking 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!

Browsing all communities by new and encountered a dichotomy:

lol, I’ve noticed that a handful of times. Could be labeled “where I’m at and how I got there” for me personally

That’s funny. Seems they already started since they couldn’t spell Busch right. 🤣

Can't afford to drink, just smashed my expensive spectacles, in the most bizarre way imaginable - a gust of wind blew them off my face, which would have been fine except they landed in the bike lane and got run over, several times.

Good evening, fellow sobernauts, IWNDWYT 😁!

Oh no!!!

I have just spent a lot of money on two new pairs of glasses (varifocals with thin and light lenses). Hurrah for my budget app and for not drinking so I have spare money.

Didn’t you just have a tire puncture as well? Man sometimes when it rains it pours. Hopefully that just means you’re saving up your luck for something awesome soon!

I did! Clearly this week is going to test the limits of my budget, and I'm just about to win the Euromillions.
