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/stopdrinking 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!

    The thing about the meetings is that they are a lot of fun. People aren’t moping about not being able to drink, they are celebrating being sober daily.

    Good luck

      Right.

      I went to a few meetings a couple of different times (gotta admit they were court ordered) and had really good experience with them. I fell off after a while and eventually went back to casually drinking and on into every day drinking, and eventually into frequent blackout drinking, again. There’s nothing bad I can really say about those meetings, it was helpful to have people around me that were really doing the damn thing. And if I get overwhelmed, I will absolutely hit the meetings again, but of my own decision this time.

      Thank you for taking the time to remind me that they’re there.
