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!

I had a sober week. Two low point beers over the week. No weed either. This is probably the first week in the past two and a half years that I’ve been mostly sober.

I asked my doctor for trazadone to help me sleep, and it’s been helpful. I’m still struggling a lot with falling asleep and staying asleep, but the trazadone stops the “it’s 2 am and I can’t sleep” reach for the cans.
