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!

it matters because you matter.

Alcohol is a depressant that steals your joy, steals your confidence, steals your hope, steals your you. It robs you of the ability to plan beyond the next bottle, it poisons your mind and keeps you downtrodden, and all it gives you in return is a short-lived artificial high that gets shorter and shorter each time.
