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!

No need for me to drink due to autism, so I get that.

For those unaware of what I'm talking about, I heard about a study that essentially points out how easy it is for someone with autism to become an alcoholic. It's much faster than those who don't have it.

My ADHD therapist said it was very common for people with ADHD to use alcohol to mask symptoms, as well.
