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!
I’m going to TopGolf tonight. I would typically get hammered on a night like tonight. I want to too. God damn, getting drunk and staying up late and sleeping in tomorrow would be a fucking hoot. I know I won’t though, because if I do it will snowball. I’ll drink tomorrow too. And the next day to get rid of the hang over. And next weekend, I’ll think, “I drank last weekend, I’ll get sober next weekend.” ad infinitum.
So I will just have a few NAs and have as much fun as I can. I won’t be hungover tomorrow. I won’t black out. I won’t do anything I regret. I’ll sleep well. I won’t hate myself. But, god damn, I’d love to get drunk.
