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/stopdrinking 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’ll be hosting this week, so, good morning, fellow sobernauts, IWNDWYT 😁!

It's not a lie unless it was intentional. All good here, you fixed the flat and getting back on the road. And my sleep has been awful lately and gotta admit the urges are there for me too.

It wasn't intentional, until it was. Didn't start the day with any intention to drink. But I sure as fuck ended it with a buzz. Internally, I have no distinction between that and a lie, but I get what you're saying.

Stay stronger than I am, Z. And thank you. I hope rest finds you, and finds you happily sober.

Be proud of the 28 days! That is no small feat. It’s safe to say the majority of us took multiple tries. I had so many myself over 10 years.

I'm proud of making it that far. It gave me proof that I Can make it, and enough hope to believe that I Will make it, eventually.
