Good morning fellow sobernauts, IWNDWYT 😁!

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!

g'day team, day 13. decided enough is enough, im out of here on friday. ive milked it for all it's worth, gone to every lesson, taken every note. long weekend is coming up so to stay here for 3 days of nothing just for tuesday doesnt make sense to me. going to spend the weekend with fonz skateboarding, playing video and board games, trying to erase the bad memories of this place. really wish I didnt look up the history of this place, had really bad vibes ever since. straight up genocide. and the best they could do is put an anaemic garden, couple signs giving the soft version and a literal pile of rocks waaaaay down the back corner of the property. australias history is embarrasing. but if we don't learn from it, history reshits itself. im full focused on my recovery, it's almost become a new addiction. life is so much easier without the deceit, lying scheming plotting and planning, worrying about withdrawals/seizures and neglecting responsibilities. im writing down every check in and conversation ive had in stopdrinking in my little book to be a reminder of how shit this whole experience was and how ive grown so much as a person and im ready to begin living. thanks everyone have a lovely day
