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.

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!

This is awesome advice, thanks for taking the time to write this up. It's standard for me to leave the office a few minutes early on Friday, drop my car off at my garage, and walk a few doors down to the bar. Instead, I'm working from home today to ensure that my muscle memory doesn't take me anywhere near the bar. The only time I'm going outside is to walk the dog, and I'm leaving my car keys in the house just in case.

I'm planning to make a massive tray of nachos and play videogames tonight. I've been dieting for a while, so nachos can be my after-work treat instead of a 12-pack of tallboys.
