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!
I went to a concert on Saturday. The lead singer talked about being sober for the last seven years. After the show I made sure to tell him a lot of music, including his, has really helped me quit and stay off drinking. Seeing the care he put into the crowd wanting everyone to do well and there was a lot of compassion and love, it’s special. This guy I don’t know at all looked at me and said “We’re doing this together a day at a time”. It’s really sticking with me. We don’t have to know each other to be there for one another
That’s awesome! Is it a local band?
The Taxpayers. They originated nearish to me (I’m in Seattle right now, they started in Portland). They stopped touring together for a while though and different members moved to different areas so I’m really glad I got to see them
