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!

105 days. Was yesterday for the first time in a restaurant that serves alcohol, with people drinking, was OK. I hated the giant TVs with football, the loud music, the smoke-filled athmosphere. And the French fries where cold.

I didn't mind the booze. I know I will always crave it, day in day out, from waking up till falling asleep, and also that it is not the answer.

I don't crave booze. I used to think i'd always have to live my life wanting to drink and choosing not too. But i trained my mind to not even want it anymore.... There's no wrong way to do sober. I'm just saying it doesn't have to feel that way. I didn't for me at least.
