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!

This is my first day off since I quit drinking and I'm not drinking today.

[–] rosamundi@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

woohoo, do you have something fun planned?

[–] MeDuViNoX@sh.itjust.works 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Mainly just catching up on things I neglected while I was drinking. But it's fun not to live in a disaster area, lol.

How about you, anything fun planned today?

Went to the Life in the Roman Legion exhibition at the British Museum, which was excellent, then lunch in a nearby Italian restaurant and home watching the cricket (England women v Pakistan women, it's not going well for England).

Sounds like a good day, except the cricket... I have no idea what's going on in that game at any given time, lol.

[–] rosamundi@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

England women pulled it back from an absolutely disastrous start and beat Pakistan. Cricket is quite easy to understand, honest. 😁

I will not drink with you guys today. The housewarming party was a success and we were provided and also brought some cool alcohol free drinks and our hosts made us some virgin cocktails!

Glad to hear it went well.

Hurrah, I was wondering how it went yesterday. Excellent hosting, those people.
