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!

Re: “ I can’t help feeling that every moment should be spent in a meaningful way” … you may have a different meaning behind the words “meaningful way” but I think any activity that makes a positive change in your life, in someone else’s life, in the environment around you, could be counted as meaningful. Reading a good book or writing challenges your mental growth. Your “gone fishing” example strikes me as meaningful. Bonus points if you encountered someone along the way and smiled at them or shared a pleasantry. Micro-connections.

I have to stop doom scrolling, and watching television and start doing. Went OUT to a movie last night with my partner which felt far better than binging another episode or 3 of whatever.
