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.

For the next 24 hours, let’s not drink alcohol!

Nice post, count me in. It is my birthday, so I really wanna 'just pop up the pub', which usually means a monumental bender. I shall not though. 24hrs here we go.

EDIT: Only just realised this is ongoing check - such a great idea.

Happy birthday!

I totally get what you mean. "Grab a drink" -- yeah right.

Hoping you can find a better and more fulfilling way to treat yourself today.

I'm not drinking today either. Going to a work party and everyone seems stressed about getting home afterwards as they'll all be drinking. Lots of money will be spent on Ubers.

I'm driving myself, no hangover tomorrow and will still have fun!
