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, lets not drink alcohol!

Non-hangover weekend morning. Ready to get after it, then settle down this evening for football. IWNDWYT.

Have a buddy over to help with some work and I will be sending them home with the rest of my beers as thanks. Nice day to sit outside with a sparkling water around here.

Been almost a week today. Longest I've gone without a drink since the pandemic started, come to think of it.

Welcome!! When is your week anniversary?

[–] pomodoro_longbreak@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Haha that'll be tomorrow, actually! Something about this time is feeling different. Like it's the right time for it or something

The first week is usually the hardest. It gets easier with every day. I passed one year in July and time has really flown by.

Thanks. The Sunday came and went quietly and without fanfare, and here we are in another week :)
