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.

For the next 24 hours, let’s not drink alcohol!

    It’s my 8th week without alcohol today! Been very difficult at times, hoping it gets easier.

      It does get easier, but some days will be harder than others.

      If you need to talk about it, feel free to make a thread.

      Congrats on reaching 8 weeks! It will get better over time, just take it one day at a time. The urges etc should become less.

      That doesn’t mean you can get complacent. I’m sober 5 years, and last week I took a mini sip from my wife’s cocktail and immediately the urges to drink more came back. Very scary.

        That is very scary, 5 years of resolve and then back to the urges with a single sip. 5 years is an immense achievement, well done!

      Congrats! That’s really amazing.

      It took me a while to reap the rewards of sobriety, but they definitely came.

      Hang in there, and reach out if you need to vent.

        Cheers! I’ll definitely make a post here if I feel my resolve crumbling.
