Good morning sober peeps!!

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!

2 days wow today was bad. the docs thought I was lying about the absurd amount I was drinking so they dropped my dose way too early. haven't slept more than 2hrs for 3 nights in a row cause they kept waking me up to check my blood presh which has always been high but once my eyes open, they don't close again. so basically 3 all nighters in a row compared to last detox where I slept for 3 days in a row. dont detox at st john of god richmond if u can avoid it but they do good trauma work.

best of luck everyone, not drinking with you today. it's so good to be back I missed u guys

im here for it, full commit it's very clear I can't drink again cause my body is used to benzos now, extremely diminishing returns. 1.5hrs til day 3!

met a bloke on 900mg of seroquel i was like bro how are you alive

[–] Zerlyna@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I am with you. Even 25mg seroquel takes an army. It’s a bitch at the lowest dose too. Works the opposite way and I’m there! How long until day three. Someone will be awake with you. ❤️
