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!
Today will be a challenge for some folks in the western regions of Germany, because it’s the traditional start for the carnival season . There are parades and parties with lots of alcohol. The season ends Rose-Monday with even bigger parades and more alcohol.
Sadly we never really learned how to keep these traditions going without getting hammered. (And let’s be honest, they are not that fun without the lubricant)
IWNDWYT!
