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!

    I love reading your updates, keep kicking ass! I’m so damn happy you got some good sleep. I went three nights earlier this year without any when I was withdrawing and I was on the verge of hallucinating. I have never been so low. It’s literal torture, like sleep deprivation is actually used as a form of torture. Food is huge too. Pets are incredible companions too and I’m stoked you get to see Muffin soon!

      thankyou very very much I was worried about oversharing but avoiding triggering people, there’s no such thing. another shit sleep and nightmares, 3.5hrs but that’s ok I want to continue copying down the big book word for word making sure it sticks, almost finished the entire first chapter. curse you 3am! it is absolutely torture and can ruin your entire day. I wrote like 3 words yesterday cause I just could not put down the guitar, hadn’t picked it up all year. curse you depression, sucking the joy out of everything I enjoy

      but it helps me too to go back through and read what this horrible journey involves, I’ll write all this down too as sort of a detox diary.
