Happy Friday! We Made It!

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! 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!

I've been seeing this community around and today I feel inspired to cut back. I have become someone who drinks a couple days a week (not a lot, but still). The European football championship incited more random drinking and it will remain until the end of July due to other football games.

But I think I'd like to see what happens if I stop drinking for a couple of weeks/months.

Good idea. Within the first week or two you'll notice a difference.
