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!
You never have to drink again.
You never have to worry about whether you said something horrible to a friend while you were drunk again.
You never have to wake up hungover and regretful again.
You never have to check your emails and think “wait, I bought what?” again and either scramble to cancel it or faff about with returning it.
You never have to worry about running into friends/your parish priest in the supermarket when all you have in your trolley is gin and biscuits.
You never have to deal with that low level “do they know how much I drink? Am I hiding it sufficiently? Are they judging me?” hum of anxiety.
