Good morning fellow sobernauts, IWNDWYT 😁!

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!

about to hit 24 hours, ive been out of detox for 36 but had an "NA" beer that ended up having less that .5% which I was really cranky about. just going to avoid them too cause it def made me want more.

had a meeting tonight was great, powerful shares and valuable insight, I shared "hey everyone im davie, im an alcoholic addict, I wont share tonight because I'm on some strong medications cause im fresh out of detox but I just want to thank these rooms, everyone in here and especially my dear friend jane whos driven me to and from the hospital countless times, come visit me in the psyche ward every day and bought me whatever I needed so I'd like my applause to go to her, by this time im bawling and jane gave me a big hug. loads of people come up for a chat to give their support and encouragement to keep coming back. such good people, here and there. thanks everyone, keep coming back 🦋
