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!

    Sober now for 12 days. I’m not finding it difficult so far, I’ve been in some situations where friends would be drinking but I felt no pressure, not even really the urge.

    It’s not that I’m addicted to the stuff, I just really like the taste. It’s not even about the feeling of being tipsy or drunk. Even though I loosen up a bit more if I’ve had a few, problem is that once I start it quickly becomes about how much of the stuff I can get in me before I have to go to bed.

    I want to keep going for at least 4 more weeks. After that, I’ll probably return to drinking, but far less often and far less at a time. So a couple of glasses on a weekend is fine, but no more than that. And if I do go overboard once, I’ll just not drink for a couple of weeks to get the liver back to a healthy condition.
