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!
I’m trying this today. It has been so hard to stop drinking. I can go a few days but then fall back nearly every weekend. I just don’t want to feel like it is so needed anymore.
What scuppered me for a long time was not having non-alcoholic drinks at home that I actually liked (apart from coffee, but I don’t drink that past noon). So I’d go to the fridge, and there’d be nothing, and I’d go “ugh,” and go and buy wine. So that’s my first tip - get some nice drinks in that you like.
I went and got some premade boba drinks! Those are yummy
Super hard to get started! Keep trying, you’re doing something good for yourself. You’ve got this!
Thank you for the encouragement! I use an app that tracks how long I’ve been doing something.the gol today is to hit 26 hours
More than halfway there!
