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.

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!

I've been doing the wim hof breathing lately and man it really makes a difference in my ability to control my reactions to things, which i know a lot of sober people have trouble with so i thought i'd share that... anyway, super stoked to be sober so IWNDWYT!

I am trying this with the guided you tube and OMG I can’t hold my breath this long! Made it to 32 seconds.

LOL, when i first started it about 2 weeks ago i could only go thirty seconds as well. Sometimes that's still all i get for the first minute but at least once or twice i've done the first minute breath hold and both 1.5 minute breath holds. I'm shocked that i'm able to do it but it happened naturally with no struggle.
