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!

The tea was great, but I’m probably back for my morning cup of joe today. Also, I will not drink with you all today

Coffee in the morning and herbal tea in the afternoon works for me.

I don't drink, I don't smoke, I don't take any drugs which are illegal where I am, there's no way I'd give up caffeine in the mornings!

Yeah, I'm not giving up my caffeine or hot sauces any time soon.

Have you tried the non-alcoholic kombucha?

[–] CheesyGordita@lemmy.world 4 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I have yeah! I need to grab more of that. Usually will snag a box or two when it goes on sale at Costco but maybe I will grab some a bit early

The Health•Ade lemon & ginger is my personal favorite.

Ooh that one is good. They also make one called Cayenne Cleanse that I love, it scratches my itch for spicy margaritas. Damn now I want a spicy marg (just the flavor, don't want to be drunk)... Off to find a kombucha haha

So far so good, I'm still going strong. I set up a meeting to get started with an addiction counselor on the 17th.

Glad to hear the others are doing well!

That’s awesome, I need to get back into therapy. Tough to find someone with room for new patients nowadays but I think I have a leads and need to stop procrastinating

[–] Zerlyna@lemmy.world 5 points 7 months ago (1 children)

A good Therapist is priceless!!!

I'm about to lose mine in a few weeks because I'm moving :( I'm at a point where we were going to be cutting back and stopping soon, but still... If something pops up and I need more, will have to find a new one

[–] MeDuViNoX@sh.itjust.works 4 points 7 months ago

Yeah, it can be tough, I had to call 7 different places.
