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!

IWNDWYT! seeing a very good friend this eve that I don't get to see often any more; last time we hung out was January, and I broke my alcohol-free streak almost immediately. Working to be stronger this time around 💪

What's your game plan? Are you going somewhere with good AF drinks? Does your friend know that you're not drinking?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Well, I'm finishing work late (big stress today as we come towards a project launch), so that knocks off a few hours. We'll go back to mine rather than going out most likely, although I live opposite a pub. He knows I'm not drinking. It'll only be for a few hours, I just need to keep my head on straight and not get too excited basically 😂
