This is a place to motivate each other to control or stop drinking. It is also a place for non drinkers to discuss and share.

We welcome anyone who wishes to join in by asking for advice, sharing our experiences and stories, or just encouraging someone who is trying to quit or cut down.

Please post only when sober; you’re welcome to read in the meanwhile.

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.

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.
