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!
I’ll be hosting this week, so, good morning, fellow sobernauts, IWNDWYT 😁!
Roughly two months sober for me today. I know this is the longest I’ve gone in the past 5-6 years but it might be the longest I’ve gone since I first started drinking. Kinda cool although I wish my extra weight was coming off a bit faster. Haha
Anyways, for anyone that cares, imma be in Japan the next couple of weeks so if you don’t see my name pop up, keep my seat warm and dont worry. I haven’t abandoned this awesome crew, I’m probably just eating way too much sushi and familymart fried chicken, and wasting my money on claw machines and weird gimmicky trinkets, lol.
I will not drink with you today
I’ve heard the weight really starts changing right after that 2 month point, so hang in there and hopefully you’ll see an improvement shortly! Congrats on the record streak!!!
Thanks! That’s good to hear because it’s been stubborn. I probably need to track my cals a bit better tho and have a bit less candy in the house. I might be unconsciously replacing my alcohol with sugar. I guess it’s still better tho that way. Haha
The sugar is real. Body wants the missing carbs. I’ve just sworn off (almost) soda for water. But I can’t give up cheesecake.
Woohoo! Congrats on the two months!!
Thanks Z! It’s meant a lot to have a place to come and talk and check in and you are a big part of that of course with the posts
Two months! Huge congratulations, man! I hope you enjoy the hell outta yourself in The Land of the Rising Sun! Stay strong, because from what I’ve heard those fuckers love to get shitfaced over there!? Although, shitfaced on sushi don’t sound that bad at all to me… Shitfaced on a big ol pile of roe sounds even better… Hope ya have a beauty of a time! Doing the whole thing sober is gonna make it a whole new, and I say better experience. I’ll be rooting for ya, man. And I’ll be not drinking with ya.
Oh yeah, this is my second time and they definitely love to drink over there. I’ve made sure to plan lots of activities to keep me busy so hopefully that will help. And I will NOT miss being hungover on vacation. lol
One - Congrats on 2 months! That’s legit, and inspiring!
Two - Have fun in Japan! We’re going this August/September!
Where ya headed? I haven’t been to mainland myself yet, that’s where we’re going this Fall, but I started my military career in Okinawa! Been tryna get back ever since!
My brother in law is stationed at Yokota air base outside of Tokyo so we are staying a week there and hanging with him and visiting Tokyo and then we are taking the bullet train and spending a week or so in Kyoto and Osaka. Tokyo is awesome! This is our second time going but the first time checking out other cities. Hopefully the dollar stays strong for you! Last time we went it was $1=100 yen so I’m stoked to have more spending power. Haha
Pulling on my sober-suit for the 26th. day in a row, sobernauts! And once again: I will not be drinking a damn drop with you today!
I will be drinking water today! Possibly a soda. But definitely not alcohol. :)
Happy Tuesday Everyone! Hope yours goes (or went) awesome!
IWNDWYT!
Today was a good day. Today was a sober day. Today was fairly normal, I suppose… And I think that’s awesome in its own way.
