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/stopdrinking 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, lets not drink alcohol!

      Just curious: Have you never drank before? Religious reasons or you just don’t like it?

      Even though I have been sober for just about a year or so (basically an eternity), I still find it difficult to understand how people “just don’t drink”.

      Still, thanks for popping in and saying “hi”!

        I have drank before.Mostly in my tenage years due to peer pressure. I really did not like it for a: i hated the taste and b: i really dont like when something changes how I am. I like to be in controll of myself and experience exerything as it is I guess. I also tried weed a couple of times, but in the end I did not like it for the same reasons like alcohol. Whenever someone asked me why I don’t drink during my university time I always said its “Harām” because this was easier and people seemed to accept this more than “I don’t like it”

        Congratulations on being sober for such a long time. That’s awesome!
