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!

196 days. Took a quick two night trip with the wife over the weekend. Dinner the first night was a big trigger, but we managed to pass it.

The next day we spent wandering a tourist area and then finding somewhere for lunch. I’m sure you all can imagine how difficult that was. She is on the same sobriety break and we both kept being honest about wanting to ‘cheat’. But, we played the tape ahead and talked about how we like getting better sleep, less stress, etc, and we managed to pass it again. The mocktail options these days are more enjoyable than I’d expected.

Sober holidays are really good - no nursing hangovers over the hotel breakfast, you can be out and doing things before it gets crowded, and because you don't drink at lunchtime you can do stuff in the afternoon as well.
