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’ve been sober for 5 years and a couple of months. It still can be difficult to not have thoughts about drinking. Came across this sub a couple of times and i just wanted to say that i really appreciate what you are doing here!
And to all who struggle: it gets better as time passes. You’ll learn new ways to say no, and saying no will be easier as days/months/years go by. If you’re fighting your thoughts or simple go through a rough time; talk to people (even if it’s just on this place), work out, go outside, start that hobby you never got the energy/time/money for.
Being sober is not a punishment! And, getting professional help is not something to shy away from so always accept + take that if you need it.
Goodluck to you all! And feel free to ask me anything :)
thank you for stopping by!
