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!

Day 11 . Last night was the first time I watched tv since my last drink. I usually have the urge to drink while relaxing and watching TV. It was a weird feeling watching tv shows sober, but I didn’t really have an urge to drink. I guess it will take time to enjoy watching tv again since I used to associate it with alcohol fun time. One day I will need to rewatched most movies and shows that I watched when I used to drink, because I barely remembered the scenes. Edit. I will not be drinking today.

YES!!! I am so far behind because I just stopped watching. I’m still working on being productive with my time after a year. We FINALLY deep cleaned the living room last weekend and it looks great.

Way to go on 11 days! I used to have a similar need to "drink something" when relaxing on the couch. There was something about cracking a seltzer water in a koozie on repeat that scratched the itch.

Yeah that’s a good idea, I will go get some.
