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!

Proud of you for coming up with a plan, and excellent support from your friend.

Thank you! And yeah, he's great like that. Most everyone has been really supportive honestly, I'm lucky with the people in my life! I've only had to limit or cut contact with a few that haven't been supportive or helpful. Bit painful but not so bad in the long run - at least it highlights who actually adds to your life! 🤘 How's your weekend looking? :)

Great - I had a colour, style and wardrobe consultation yesterday because I've been feeling stuck and uninspired (we are not going to talk about the number of Breton-striped tops I own), and that was really helpful, so I'm doing some clothes shopping and sewing pattern planning.
