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!

Day 56, and the dreams are back. In them, I'm either feeling guilty and sad about drinking, but drink anyway, or I'm drinking a pint but am unsure whether it's alcohol free or not, and spend ages trying to figure out whether I feel drunk. Weird!

Either way, though, IWNDWYT! Finally started to get some motivation back in my waking hours, which is handy because my work has become incredibly stressful and busy. I've tidied the flat up, applied to some volunteering opportunities, and have been walking about 10km a day since last week. Fun stuff!

I hope everyone is well ✌️

oh, drinking dreams are weird. I've always put it down to my subconscious working stuff out while I'm not looking.

When I was still "off the booze for a bit, you know, see what happens," I once woke up absolutely furious with my partner for giving me wine in my dream, and that was one of the things that made me realise I was in it for the long haul.
