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.
We are here to support you in not drinking, today or any other day. However, in order to keep this board a safe space for those who have chosen not to drink, I am asking you to be mindful of our rule that if you have been drinking, you come back when you are sober (have abstained from alcohol for at least the last 12 hours).
Solidarity to all struggling today.
Well, fuck. I will continue to not drink today, but as someone who lives in the US, that’s all I have to say. Fuck, fuck, fuck.
I will try not to today. I really will. I stop at a gas station every morning on my way to work for a diet pepsi and the clerk talked me out of cigarettes. I planned my therapist for today after work... I have a gay child. I posted on Facebook 4AM "soooo what do I tell the gay child? Asking for a friend." Wearing all black today. With 50% of the national vote, and 66% of my state vote, I can't look anyone in the eye today without thinking, you agreed that I should be persecuted for not voting for him. You agreed that a convicted cheater and rapist should be running our country. I am literally crying typing this at work... my lesbian coworker (in the closet) saluted me walking in this morning. It just sucks. It's so wrong.
American here: I am probably gonna fucking drink today :(
American here too: please don't drink. He's not worth it.
But I feel your pain. I was at the beginning of my second day sober when I read the news. You can't imagine how much I want a drink right now. I'm so scared about the future.
But, I can do this. Day three is only a few hours away. I'm crying a lot, but I can get through this.
Welp, I’m American and it’s been interesting today. I really would like a drink, but I’m not going to. I will not drink with you all today. And may god have mercy on us all. lol
I'm not an American and not even an alcoholic and I want to drink a lot today.
Today is a… special day. I will not judge anyone who gets absolutely shitfaced. Regardless, always good to see new people drop by!
THank you. I'm not sure I can make the pledge today.
Yeah, I have a lot of people in my surroundings who could really benefit from not drinking, so I sympathise with the message of your community.
Godspeed and keep strong
