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!

because for me, my perception was warped to insanity, and my world and future improved immeasurably when I stopped for good. life really started improving. i seriously used to think, why take away the one thing that makes me feel good, truthfully I hadn't felt good in years, i was delusional. wasn't possible to see from the hole I'd dug. it's a disease, maybe not in the conventional sense but it is progressive and it will kill me. it talks to me and tells me I don't have it. cancer does not talk to you.

Fair, I'm suffering from a different kind of addiction myself, or more specifically withdrawal from it, and I drink to feel better.

does it work, do you feel better? I can relate I have multiple addictions, no hard drugs touch wood. but I'm happy to give you my whatsapp if you'd like to dive in and try untangle the mess, +61 459 506 563
