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 these days. We’ll be here if you want to vent.
Wow, in half an hour I’ll hit my 3rd anniversary of sobriety!
Nice! Good job.
I’ve quit a couple of times; 1.5 years, 10 months, and a few shorter stints. A few days ago I decided it was time again. 2 days sober now and it’s rough, especially with the election results (terrible time to quit LOL).
I’m not sure how long I can make it this time but I’m taking the 24 hour pledge to not drink. Wish me luck.
The longest I went before this was 4 months. I feel like this is for good now.
Even if I had a lapse, which I don’t expect, I wouldn’t return to habitual drinking.
Progress is non-linear. All those previous times contributed to learning and developing skills and coping without substance! Every day you don’t drink is good for you on many levels.
IWNDWYT!

Flipping the narrative: if you can get a solid stint of sobriety now, you’ll be in good shape come January and whatever comes after that.
There will never be the perfect time to quit, it’s why my sobriety anniversary is a random day in May, I decided “if not now, when?”

Good point. Thanks for giving me at least one positive thing to think about for January 2025.
just worked it out, it’s 74 days to inauguration day. 70+ days sober is a really solid base.
@RemindMeBOT@lemmings.world 70 days.
Thanks again.
Congratulations!
hell yeah 🤘
Hello everybody! I will not drink with you today! And if I don’t see everyone for a couple weeks, I’m okay, I’ve just been kicking around the idea of getting rid of/taking a break from all forms of social media and doom scrolling and returning to my books and video games for a bit.
Crazy day today, I got my repaired phone and now have to relog into all 100+ apps lol And then no power at work today at my end of the building, transformer died and I had to buy a new generator and portable lights to keep the warehouse and shipping going.
Too busy to drink or dwell on the politics. Awesome. :)
kindling is real, jittery and restless thinking about drinking. the plan is to take my guitar outside a shopping ctr, hopefully make $7.50 for a longneck and repeat until i cant play, hopefully i smoke too much weed beforehand and get stagefright. still under a week
