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!

drinking dreams are the worst. I've always put them down to my subconscious working things out while I'm not looking.

About 3 months into "off the booze for a year, yeah, see how it goes?" I woke up absolutely furious with my boyfriend, blamelessly asleep in his own bed on the other side of London, for giving me wine in my dream. That was one of the things that made me think I was in it for the long haul, not just a year.
