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!

For everyone who’s anxious about the coming days, don’t let that take your sobriety away from you. Have a plan for these days. We’ll be here if you want to vent.

2 days sober now and it's rough, especially with the election results (terrible time to quit LOL).

Flipping the narrative: if you can get a solid stint of sobriety now, you'll be in good shape come January and whatever comes after that.

There will never be the perfect time to quit, it's why my sobriety anniversary is a random day in May, I decided "if not now, when?"

Good point. Thanks for giving me at least one positive thing to think about for January 2025.

just worked it out, it's 74 days to inauguration day. 70+ days sober is a really solid base.
