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 feel like no one wants to do anything but sit inside and stare at screens. I had to pull teeth to try to get people to go with me and see a friend of mine play some live music at a bar. I ended up sitting at the bar by myself drinking NAs listening to music but I can’t help but feel lonely.

    Drinking wouldn’t help. I know that it will only make it worse. I’ve been making positive strides in fitness and mental health, but it just seems like what’s the point? There’s nothing to look forward to anymore.

    I know what people are going to recommend. Get out. Meet new people. Try new things. I know, it’s just hard when I feel like no one wants to do anything.

      I’m not sure where you live, but I’m in the UK and it feels like it’s rained non-stop since before Christmas. Nobody wants to go out because it’s grey and wet.

      It’ll improve when the weather does, I hope.
