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!

That’s interesting about the plane! Worry about the alcohol, don’t worry about the weed, IMHO. You’re doing great, ALL of the alcohol is out of your system now! Half life’s and all. How are the meetings going?

the in ward meetings are p depressing lots of trauma dumping and bad vibes from patients id rather not hang out with, very keen to get back to my home group, when someone gets a chip they pass it around the circle and charge it up with good vibes I'll pass around my necklace. only let a few special friends here touch it. but plan to get AA circle and triangle tattooed on my right hand over a self harm scar and this cool infinity one mick found and printed out for me, in case I get ambidextrous about drinking. generally, things are improving nightmares are subsiding, way less vivid and retraumatising, new antidepressant and looking forward to going home. i think a big part of yesterdays bad vibes was homesickness, and not just for home but for my home meeting, my job, my family. shit I've just spent so much time in hospitals since 2021, very over it
