Who shall join me this Day of Hump? :D

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!

Really struggling after a traumatic experience in detox this past weekend. They refused me the proper protocol of meds, and I should have left AMA. Instead I stuck it out and ended up having a 3 minute long seizure while they tried to figure out where their rescue meds were.

Ended up in the ICU with a brain bleed and broken tail bone from the resulting fall. Just got out today and I want nothing more than to drink

When I feel like drinking, I try to remember that nothing good will come from it.

Well guess what? You don’t have to anymore.

That's a rough one, I hope you never have to go through something like that again and I'm glad you're here with us today.

Get well soon! ❤️‍🩹
