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!

I was filled with shame and regret about crashing my car, it's totalled btw, but it's completely changed to gratitude mostly that nobody else was hurt, that I was unhurt and to have gone to my last 2 meetings, told the exact truth and the outpouring of love and support is unbelievable, so grateful for my sober family. back to step one. lots of guitar and meditation. love you guys, I will not drink with you today 💫

Oh hell yeah, I love the White Stripes!!! That sounds good tho. I've been playing some Foo Fighters lately, but I've not really had the mood to pick up the guitar for a while 😬

highly recommend 10mins minimum every day my friend, beneficial for everyone involved🤘ty for the reminder, time to shred

I do usually feel better after playing! But it's just one of those things lately that I've not quite managed. Still, maybe tonight! What do you play on? 👀
