Good morning all!

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! 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!

I’ve either got allergies kicking in or a summer cold. Feeling miserable. Another sober day keeps the ick away? 🤞 Here with ya peeps, can’t sleep, needed to share my misery. 😭

I hope you can get some sleep and start to feel better!

oh no! hope you feel better soon, let me know if you want me to do the check in for a few days to give you a break.

Covid is on the rise again, as well.

I found that being ill while sober is a lot easier than when drinking, so there's that.

39 degree fever last night. It broke but sleep was horrible. You want to finish the week?

Dude, everyone is sick right now. I swear. I think I even have something light going on. My temp has been up a bit and have had a slight headache for a couple days. Wishing you a speedy recovery!
