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!

    I think I been avoiding aa cause I don’t want to talk about alcohol. not to sound cocky but that problems been removed. one of the mtgs is just dry drunk group therapy, I try carry the msg not the mess, cause when I was a newcomer I didn’t give a shit about your dogs or your kids, I wanted to know how you manage to stay sober. putting trust in a higher power, fearless moral inventory and humbly asking all defects of character to be removed was all I had to do, incredibly challenging, ultimately rewarding. ive still got amends but I’ve stopped I need to be careful of buying peace of mind at the expense of others. I’ll go back to mtgs so I stop writing novels in here, love you all tc

      I agree with Zerlyna, I love reading your posts even though I may not comment cause I’m not great with words and often don’t know what to say (thanks, social anxiety!) so please don’t stop sharing here!
