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! 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!
I am so done.
I hit a massive turning point yesterday. I was at a festival and a friend of mine was super far gone. I waited for a good chunk of time for him to come out so I could escort him to the train station. I was pretty mad.
Then I went home by bike. I reflected on a not great night where I drank too much too quickly and it pretty much ruined an otherwise okay festival.
When I got home I flushed away the rum I still had even though I haven’t touched it in over a week.
I find music helps a lot, I pretty much had Headlights by Charlie Cunninham on repeat when I had my head set on stopping with drinking.
