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!

Just passed 7 months. It’s a roller coaster. I was someone that had 3+ drinks every other day or so (drink one day, recover the next, excited to drink again the next day).

It has always been easy to convince myself to make exceptions, but after many sobriety attempts I know better now. Each drinking session, no matter how small, instantly resets my brain and body back to my drinking phase. So, I will not drink with you today!!

"I never have to have another day 1" is a huge benefit to me.

Going for a bike ride instead of drinking - live is good.

I love you all, and I wish you a nice day. Have fun 😘
