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!

    Oh boy I had an oopsie. Bought a tincture for throath pain, just regular fall cough.

    Tincture worked really well. Like really really well. Took me a day to realise it’s an alcohol extract. Hadn’t tasted alcohol in a year.

    Threw away the bottle in my trashbin second I realised. Then took it out again and threw it away in a street bin.

    Waauw the desire for more more MORE MORE MORE!!! returns so quickly. The negative feedback loop is real and fast.

    Hug to y’all. Stinky disgusting alcohol.

      Good call on throwing it away! Alcohol is so sneakily put into medicines and food! I nearly bought a ready meal the other day before I saw the “includes alcohol” note.

      Sorry you’re dealing with that negative feedback loop! You’ve got this 💪
