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!

That connection to the Other goes under many guises. Always has, always will. Thomas Aquinas referred to "the Prime Mover", Thomas Merton referred to the many paths up the mountain.

I love the many paths up the mtn, I had/remembered my spiritual experience while looking at the mountain from work having a smoke, small epiphany. then that week in a meeting, indigenous fella says yeah gunneboolah is a very spiritual place, and you don't have to be a black fella to feel it, I was like fkn not wrong brother told him about it. but yeah being on step 9 and doing 10 11 12 everyday feels like I've climbed so much mountain, just a bit further, and I wish all my buddies still at sea level could see the view from up here, 30 years I was stuck down there. last thing I wanna do is rub it in their faces I know how much that used to piss me off but I get it now
