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!

    Getting off work early today, which in the past meant I would have texted my husband and been like “Let’s hit up happy hour” since we usually aren’t able to and “it’s a special occasion”.

    Instead, I got some window Sills that need to be stripped and painted, and a fridge that needs cleaning. Sounds much more boring but I’ll feel so much better when it’s done!

    IWNDWYT!

      I’m off a half hour early today myself! I hate chores with a passion. 🤬

        Me too. 100%. It’s why I would typically pour myself a beer to “get through the chores”. But I’d get 1/3rd of the way through one, lose motivation, and then sit down “just for a second”.

        Before I knew it I’d be 5 down and just laughing my ass off mindlessly at YouTube. 😭

        It took over 2 weeks for my energy to return, but I’m tryna capitalize on it while I still got it!

          OMG YES!!! And paperwork too. Anything I dreaded doing was accompanied by Jack and Coke.

            Are you my twin? I’ve studied for most major tests at a quiet bar, and done research at a bar…I mean…I’m not going to say I got far in my reading materials 😂
