Happy Friday Peeps!

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/stopdrinking 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!

Almost at one month… but man, did I pick a time to stop drinking…. my grandma passed away Wednesday, and then yesterday my dad was hospitalized and diagnosed with pancreatic cancer.

As much as my brain tells me a drink might help how I’m feeling, I know it won’t and I will feel worse for it. IWNDWYT.
