Good morning all!

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! 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!

They’re non alcoholic from what I’ve read online. Never had one, curious if I would like them and it would hit the spot or I should just stick with my sodastream. My dad seems to like his nonalcoholic brews

I've never really drank them either but when I drank I drank to get buzzed or fucked up.

Yeah, same here. Whenever I went to doctors and answered how “many drinks do you have a day?” I always had to do the conversion from ml of vodka. lol <- embarrassed laugh

I told them over a gallon a week. Which was true

Yup, that’s about where I got to as well

I bought a soda stream and either I’m not doing it right or there’s no substitute for Diet Pepsi. 🤷‍♀️
