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!
Day 5 today – got a social event this evening at my fave pub (across the street from my flat). Gonna be tricky, but we’ll get there! IWNDWYT!
Hopefully everybody has a good Wednesday - we’re halfway through the week, and heading towards the weekend quickly! What’s on people’s agendas for the end of the week? 👀
Do you have a plan for the evening? AF drinks chosen in advance, someone in standby with a plausible excuse if you need to get out?
gz on a business week. first week sucks, good luck with your event, have an escape plan! someone you can call. I’ve been in my favourite pub 3 weeks sober friday night happy hour, atmosphere popping off. I was there for work but it was deadly I got in and out quicksmart. didn’t relapse, but didn’t last. im not saying avoid events or alcohol entirely but stay safe and call someone. do u have WhatsApp?
Nice work getting to day 5! Good luck with your event tonight. Social events are tough for me too because I am naturally introverted and a little shy so I leaned heavily on the booze for almost any social interaction I had as an adult. Thankfully with the proliferation of NA brews, I’ve had decent success with holding onto one of those at a party.
No plans for the weekend yet. Things are just starting to thaw out here where I live. You got anything going on this weekend?
