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!

Is Gaia your higher power? If so, that’s awesome. Nature is so powerful and healing. I’m sorry your friend doesn’t see it this way. At least we have your back in this community.

yes I ironically had a vision of her via hallucinogens, she showed me I'm part of a bigger living breathing system, so I had a solid concept of god before AA but didn't believe it like I do now, I've got direct results from 6 and 7 she removed my defects, that gave me faith, I get the same benefits from prayer as he does but that's ok, she removed the alcohol problem and that's really all I wanted. I stopped going to NA cause I'm not powerless over drugs and they don't make my life unmanageable. didn't like lying to everyone and myself that I wanna quit. it's been 7 years since I last did anything stronger than weed but I'm open to it. I'd get booted for sharing most of these views so I just go to focus on alcoholism, the most destructive by far
