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.

We welcome anyone who wishes to join in by asking for advice, sharing our experiences and stories, or just encouraging someone who is trying to quit or cut down.

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!

alcoholism really is a universal experience, all the shares are extremely similar. yeah I can't stand the god stuff im hard atheist but i do have a higher power. one guy made his higher power a can of coke he kept in his glove box, then his car got stolen haha.

yep only time ive attempted is when ive been absolutely blind, its such a depressant but I just feel so much freer not having to worry about if I've got enough, withdrawals, money, getting arrested and all the nightmare bullshit that goes with being an alcoholic.

currently hyperactive as fk, nothing to do but play guitar, write, read pamphlets and yell at horses. I need to get busy and be occupied, make some damn mortgage payments I haven't been to work all year, my parents have been looking after everything im so lucky and grateful.

my pleasure my friend thankyou, msg me anytime
