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, 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!

For everyone who’s anxious about the coming days, don’t let that take your sobriety away from you. Have a plan for these days. We’ll be here if you want to vent.

The longest I went before this was 4 months. I feel like this is for good now.

Even if I had a lapse, which I don't expect, I wouldn't return to habitual drinking.

Progress is non-linear. All those previous times contributed to learning and developing skills and coping without substance! Every day you don't drink is good for you on many levels.

IWNDWYT!
