This is a place to motivate each other to control or stop drinking. It is also a place for non drinkers to discuss and share.

We welcome anyone who wishes to join in by asking for advice, sharing our experiences and stories, or just encouraging someone who is trying to quit or cut down.

Please post only when sober; you’re welcome to read in the meanwhile.

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!

The panic and immediate sadness after you drink in a dream, and the misery when you wake up and still feel like you drank because you can't remember going to bed sober immediately both suck... But the realisation that it was a dream is SO sweet!

Yeah absolutely, I just find that it's tough to be motivated at first, so while trying to keep my social life alive and kicking (it's sort of died lately but I'm comfortable with that cos I'm realising a lot of my friends are more like drinking buddies) I did let myself be lazy. It feels good to be getting more active!

Good on you working with other alcoholics though. Good work 🙏
