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!

It was my turn to cook for a family friend with pancreatic cancer yesterday. He drank and smoked his whole life. He's in his mid 50's.

I will NOT drink today. F that poison.

Ohhh I hear that is one of the worst ones to get too. 😔

By the time pancreatic cancer is detected, it's too late. Almost always.
