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!

    good meeting on step 1, was supposed to be 10, couple newcomers so back to basics. I remember being stuck at step 1 for over 6 years, torture, dry drunk, refused to come to believe in a power greater than myself, now I’m drowning in a new love I’ve never felt, my mental health issues have damn near vanished and my buddy a christian tells me I’m engaging in devil worship. ffs, can’t afford a resentment. but if I said that to him he’d never talk to me again. he said, you won’t change my mind and I won’t change yours, so best we can do is pray for each other, my brother I would never try change yours. I trust the path you’re on is right for you.

        yep. I think he’s mad I’ve found a shortcut to spiritual sanity, can’t accept my idea of Gaia, mother nature, as a hp. so I just laid out my experience with the church, I like the love thy neighbour stuff, but that msg never got to my pew, it was all fire and brimstone, hated sundays, god and the adults who lied to me, never felt love in there. to me that was devil worship. why do they always look down when they pray I look up. I do not know buddy, it’s my first day on earth everything’s all new and exciting. with my spirit healed the mind and body followed, until today my ego came in hot. so 3 and 7 prayers, sick man’s prayer, I’ll be ok just had a resentment I couldn’t shake. we can’t afford resentments
