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.

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!

IWNDWYT! 🫡 I've recently been truly bitten by the fitness bug, at least in my minor way.

Staying in and having to make lifestyle changes to have enough money to pay back the debts I accrued while drinking (whoops) has meant that I have what feels like way too much free time.

I'm working out in my flat often. I'm still weak and skinny but I'm hooked on the feeling. 😅

Viel Glück!

(google translate assures me that means "good luck").

Vielen Dank! (Thanks a lot)

That's exciting, best of luck! Is German not your mother tongue, then?

No: I'm French, living in Zürich.

That explains your early checkins too! I am in the USA, usually the last one.

[–] raoul 1 points 2 weeks ago

I always thought you were the first one 😆

It didn't go too bad: I can't say I understand everythings but I managed the 15 mins of presentation.

[–] Zerlyna@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

I will not drink with you today!
