Good morning, fellow sobernauts and happy Saturday! 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!

I hear you. Looking back, I was self-medicating my ADHD and when I stopped, I had no excuse not to seek that diagnosis. The thing about stopping drinking is it leaves you nowhere to hide from your own brain any more (weed isn't legal in the UK), so if you do stop drinking you need to have a plan in place for dealing with whatever comes up.
