540 days today! If I can do it, so can you!

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!

    Today is my birthday! It’s the third one since I stopped drinking and I have no regrets about that choice. It’s not always easy but it’s right. I will not drink today!

    Used to think I had to drink a beer inorder to watch football,l the correct way, thanks to all the marketing around it. Tomorrow I’ll be going to my first NFL game and plan on enjoying 1 NA beer if they have it on offer, and if not I’ll just drink water and enjoy the game and remember every minute of it thanks to sobriety. I will not drink with you today!!!

      Heineken 0.0 has scratched the “have a beer with football” itch for me and I can have just one or two.

    My anxiety has been steadily building this winter with a lack of strong coping mechanism sans alcohol. I’m taking the time this new years weekend to focus on some big rock self improvement goals that are small enough, actionable, and iterable that I can attain them realistically. I’ve picked up a stoicism daily devotional and I intend to put into practice some version of a bullet journal. Regardless, I’m steadfast that IWNDWYT.

    IWNDWYT!

    Still chugging along, Day 11 now. Day three and days 10-14 always seem to be the most likely times for me to relapse and man, last night would have been it if I wasn’t taking daily Naltrexone. I knew I took it in the morning so even if I had beers with hockey last night it wouldn’t have been any fun; I would have just gotten inebriated without the euphoria.

    Better living through chemistry I suppose.

    edit: and the first thing I did this morning was take that Naltrexone pill

      8 years alcohol free
      I can’t even imagine how it might have gone

      I’m so happy for you that you saw it early and decided to not get on the train. If I could change one thing about myself from 35 years ago it would be to NOT drink.
