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. It's cold and rainy here but not cold enough for snow. Feeling bored and stir crazy, but not drinking today.

I can personally attest that every single time I detox/taper/withdraw it takes longer and longer to get past the minor symptoms. I would assume if I keep going out the major symptoms will last longer too.

I'm shaking my way through an important car repair that absolutely would not be getting done if I wasn't on day 4. Would probably not get done until Jan7 or so if I drank through the holidays.

I didn’t have a rhyme or reason myself. One day it stuck for good. Glad you are here with us. Merry Christmas!!
