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, let’s not drink alcohol!

I’ll be hosting this week, so, good morning, fellow sobernauts, IWNDWYT 😁!

    Yeah I think I might wait. I need to quit though cuz they keep getting more expensive and I haven’t had a job since November. Plus I chain smoke especially when I’m early in sobriety. Helps with the nerves and cravings - or at least it feels like it does.

      Right. Can’t blame ya, there. I’m choochin two packs a day, creature of habit. But, I’m not a spring chicken anymore, not entirely out of shape or anything, still active and all, but I’m feeling the out of breath thing these days and I’d like to ditch em just for health and stamina reasons. I kinda like to smoke, though… Keeps my hands engaged.

        Yeah for sure. I’ve been seeing these things called Fum which are just flavored air, not even vapor. No idea if they’re any good or safe, but probably no worse than smoking so I might try one

          Tried the vape thing years ago and it didn’t make a dent in it for me… but, I know others that got off cigarettes by using them. Never hurts you give it a shot.
