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!
For everyone who’s anxious about the coming days, don’t let that take your sobriety away from you. Have a plan for election night and the days after. We’ll be here if you want to vent.
We are here to support you in not drinking, today or any other day. However, in order to keep this board a safe space for those who have chosen not to drink, I am asking you to be mindful of our rule that if you have been drinking, you come back when you are sober (have abstained from alcohol for at least the last 12 hours).
Solidarity to all struggling today.
Well, fuck. I will continue to not drink today, but as someone who lives in the US, that’s all I have to say. Fuck, fuck, fuck.
Welp, I’m American and it’s been interesting today. I really would like a drink, but I’m not going to. I will not drink with you all today. And may god have mercy on us all. lol
I’m not an American and not even an alcoholic and I want to drink a lot today.
Today is a… special day. I will not judge anyone who gets absolutely shitfaced. Regardless, always good to see new people drop by!
Yeah, I have a lot of people in my surroundings who could really benefit from not drinking, so I sympathise with the message of your community.
THank you. I’m not sure I can make the pledge today.
Godspeed and keep strong
I will try not to today. I really will. I stop at a gas station every morning on my way to work for a diet pepsi and the clerk talked me out of cigarettes. I planned my therapist for today after work… I have a gay child. I posted on Facebook 4AM “soooo what do I tell the gay child? Asking for a friend.” Wearing all black today. With 50% of the national vote, and 66% of my state vote, I can’t look anyone in the eye today without thinking, you agreed that I should be persecuted for not voting for him. You agreed that a convicted cheater and rapist should be running our country. I am literally crying typing this at work… my lesbian coworker (in the closet) saluted me walking in this morning. It just sucks. It’s so wrong.
i havent checked in in forever, sry team, day 5 doing it tough
Been a minute for me too. Good to see you man
American here: I am probably gonna fucking drink today :(
American here too: please don’t drink. He’s not worth it.
But I feel your pain. I was at the beginning of my second day sober when I read the news. You can’t imagine how much I want a drink right now. I’m so scared about the future.
But, I can do this. Day three is only a few hours away. I’m crying a lot, but I can get through this.
