This is a place to motivate each other to control or stop drinking. It is also a place for non drinkers to discuss and share.

Please post only when sober; you’re welcome to read in the meanwhile.

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!

court tomorrow, my sponsor wrote a glowing letter saying ive fully engaged and worked the steps thoroughly, deep soul search and drastic mental, emotional change. being gifted freedom of the constant mental battle is, unreal. there's more pressure to not fuck up, to go back now would mean double the depression, v probable suicide. I think about taking a drink to trigger that phenomenon of craving, to sit with it to learn. I absolutely won't, but it's so interesting that alcoholism was causing 98% of my distress, I didn't understand how sick I was

It is wild how we perpetuate that distress over and over. And how I sometimes long for that distress. Its weird feeling. Congrats on your journey so far, best of luck in court tomorrow.
