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!

    fast as possible, yes we have to remember our last drink/drunk, it’s impossible for me to forget mine cause I crashed another car, lucky not to involve anyone else, court in a few days. yeah I had alcoholic amnesia, couldn’t remember how awful the withdrawals are or what being drunk actually feels like. it’s the drug I’ve abused the most and I don’t remember what it feels like. I remember how every other drug feels. but some things I’ve come to learn is that no it’s not a disease in the conventional sense, but it is progressive, it will kill me and it talks to me and tells me I’m not an alcoholic. cancer does not talk to you. AAs not for everyone but I literally could not stop myself from drinking, pure insanity not wanting to drink, you put me on a lie detector I’d say I’m never drinking again and it wouldn’t go off, but I’d be drunk that afternoon.
