This is a place to motivate each other to control or stop drinking. It is also a place for non drinkers to discuss and share.

We welcome anyone who wishes to join in by asking for advice, sharing our experiences and stories, or just encouraging someone who is trying to quit or cut down.

Please post only when sober; you’re welcome to read in the meanwhile.

Good morning, fellow sobernauts and happy Saturday! 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!

Day 2 report (if anyone still cares at all):

Went to the festival quite early because one of the DJs opening is an acquaintance of us. First drink was a craft beer. After that, I did what I did yesterday. Having sodas in between and skipping rounds of drinks. All in all I've had four craft beers and one regular beer my friend errantly got for me.

This is just light buzz territory so still a welcome change from the way I usually left festivals. I am counting this a win.

There was a part of me that wouldn't have minded taking a small amount of drugs instead of drinking at all but in the end I think I am better off this way.
