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.

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.
