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 am not drinking today. Today is Day 4. I am excited about it. I decided to go to total abstinence for the rest of my life. I am not even afraid about it right now. I guess it is the fact I am feeling so much better on Day 4. I started journaling. Yesterday I did a total scrub/sanitize/disinfect on my bathrooms as I had been neglecting my home. It was kind of tiring but I had spent Day 1 and 2 pretty much unable to do much of anything because I was so weak and shaky. Anyhow I won’t drink with you today.

      Congrats, on day 52 myself. Did you remove all booze from your home or put it out of sight. My little station is still setup, 1 bottle with 1 drink missing and a full bottle behind, but lookin a little dusty (not really, as I clean under/around it every few days along with the rest of the kitchen). You got this

        I don’t keep any in the house. I used to typically just stop at a liquor store on my way home from work. I take different routes. Today I was just so exhausted by the end of the day, I had no desire to stop anywhere. I went home and took a nap (after playing with my little doggo who was having a great display of delight when I walked in).
