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 sort of promised myself I could have a couple of our home brewed beers at my wife’s birthday party. So I had a few but quickly realised I just really don’t have the ability to apply the brakes. It got very late. I was super hung over the next morning.
All in all, I think I’m ‘cured’ for the time being, I don’t feel like having drinks on weekdays anymore and I’m not busy thinking about the next time I’ll allow myself to have a drink.
After a full month of not drinking, I think I see what it’s doing my body and I’m just curious to see scar happens if I apply the same to February. So my rule will be that I can have a drink at a special occasion and it’s still okay to go a little overboard, but other than that I’ll drink tea or lemonade or whatever.
