Happy Valentines Day all! <3

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/stopdrinking 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!

Holy shit man that's crazy.

I'm not close to being that bad, but I am trying to stop for a while and it's hard. The sleep thing is kinda messing with me a little

Good, don’t get that bad. I didn’t used to be either. It’s crazy how slowly and yet how quickly this shit can sneak up on you. Take care of yourself, and usually the sleep sorts itself out after about a week for me. Light exercise in the evening like going for a walk, turning down the lights, getting off your phone, and nice warm shower helps my system calm down and sleep easier. If all else fails, give it time. Fucking time, the answer is always time, as much as I hate it. lol
