This is a place to motivate each other to control or stop drinking. It is also a place for non drinkers to discuss and share.

We welcome anyone who wishes to join in by asking for advice, sharing our experiences and stories, or just encouraging someone who is trying to quit or cut down.

Please post only when sober; you’re welcome to read in the meanwhile.

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, lets not drink alcohol!

Woof, I am dragging today! More coffee needed, but alcohol won't help perk me up, that's for sure. Funny moment yesterday when I asked the waitress for "hop water" and she brought me a mug of hot water instead! Still better than booze. Day 7 for me, I will not drink alcohol with you all today.

Yep, except it's just sparkling water flavored with hops. No calories or carbs.

My kiddo is going through a sleep regression right now. For anyone not familiar with this, that means they've gone from sleeping mostly through the night to waking up anywhere between 1 and 3am and refusing to stay asleep the rest of the night.

I'm tired as all hell and nothing sounds better than a beer (or three) on the deck but I know that it would only make my sleep even worse.

I'm not drinking today
