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!

    You Can do it!!! So stoked in you for taking these first excruciating steps, it takes massice courage and fortitude to even try and quit much less make it 9 days, i believe in you!!! NAs are a lifesaver, but dont be afraid to talk to a psychiatrist if once you get past the withdrawals and cravings (they do drastically deminsh over time fr fr) to find out what you were self medicating for with alcohol. It took me far to long to take that step personally. Godspeed random internet stranger!!!

      hey thankyou so much I just got off the phone with my sponsor 1hr call gearing up for step 4, my backup plan if everything goes to shit, general encouragement and gratitude. I saw a psyche a few days ago, he thinks I have ADHD, both kinds of ptsd anxiety and chronic depression. bunch of new meds, increased doses etc, if I clear a urine test he’ll trial stimulants. worth a try. hope to one day get away from all meds but right now I need all the help I can get. godspeed to you dear stranger.
