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.
