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!

congratulations!

I never lost weight when I stopped, but my GP said that she'd rather have me a bit overweight and sober than have me at my "ideal" weight but still drinking.

If people ask me about moderating I just shrug and say "I'm basically lazy and moderating was hard work and who wants hard work on a Friday night?"

You know: setting rules about your drinking. Coming up with ways to break those rules. Feeling guilty for breaking the rules. All I have to do is "not drink alcohol", rather than argue with myself over whether "it's Tuesday" is a special enough occasion for me to have a glass of wine or not. Spoiler: it always was and now the bottle is open I might as well finish it.

Do you have a plan for the evening? AF drinks chosen in advance, someone in standby with a plausible excuse if you need to get out?

Yes, once you see it, it's everywhere, and everyone thinks it's normal to advertise and openly consume a dangerous, addictive substance.

Well done! And now you know you can do that, it will be easier every time.

my first month or so I wanted to murder people for breathing too loudly at work 😁 To be fair, I still do, but not as much.

It probably is a combination of brain chemistry and an abruptly broken habit, you brain is going "I normally have to deal with a load of alcohol in this situation, better get the brain chemicals lined up, oh wait, what am I supposed to do with all this stuff now?"

The good thing is your brain learns quite quickly to stop releasing the counteractive hormones, so this will pass, I promise.

And you should feel proud, even while you're not feeling great - you're doing brilliantly.

Have a look at the pinned posts for some suggestions of supportive things to do while you're working through this.

Congratulations on two weeks!

This will pass. Your brain is sorting out how to deal with stuff without adding booze.

A lot of it is habit "oh, I normally have a drink while doing this, it feels weird."

A lot of it is the fact that alcohol screws up a lot of your systems and so your brain and body are expecting an exaggerated "up up up" from the booze, and because you're not getting that, you feel "bored".

I'm afraid it takes time for everything to rebalance, and for your reactions to get back to normal.

Of course it could be that you don't actually enjoy the thing and you're only there because of the alcohol, in which case, you've learned something about yourself.

Or it could be a symptom of depression (drinking to mask symptoms of an illness or a disorder is, of course, a thing), in which case, now you're not masking with alcohol you are in a position to seek the care you need.
