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.

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!

Haha, yeah, that pile of wood in my garage still hasn’t assembled itself into a workbench for me for some reason… lol. Appreciate the kind words.

Glad to hear about the sleep, it can make a world of a difference!

And the new memories I’m making with my wife is a big part of why I’m doing this and what keeps me going. I absolutely hate being in pics myself, but if your girl is anything like mine, pull out your phone once in a while a snap a quick pic when you’re doing something fun together and send her the pic and she will love you a ton for that.

Damn, that's good thinking...

I hate pictures, "I take memories, not pictures..." a million times I've said that. She takes a ton. I just never think to..

Been a good day at work today, I'm feeling better, definitely getting going earlier, not fighting a fuckin hangover the first couple hours at work, driving in hoping I don't get pulled over on the way to work, trying to decide if I'm hungover, or still fuckin drunk from the night before.. Damn, I hadn't thought of so much shit that should've blatantly told me how far I'd gone down the rabbit hole.. It's much better to come in and grab my tools, rather than try to grab a hit or two off the fuckin torch oxygen to get my ass in gear..

She's been a huge fucking blessing. I should surely do more thoughtful shit for and with her. Great suggestion. Keep hanging on, man. And thank you.

So fucking good to have a real night's sleep finally. Still woke a couple times, but nothing at all like it's been. We just wore ourselves the fuck out, curled up and crashed the fuck out. Best night in a long fuckin time.
