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!

    resentment is the number one killer of alcoholics. we cannot afford the luxury of anger, no matter how justified. just replaying what happened in slow motion over and over in my head, getting angrier and unable to switch gears so I threw up a quick prayer, grant me the serenity etc, and it’s mostly been removed I’ve calmed down a lot. dabbling with the adhd medication, dexedrine, has been extremely eye opening. I’m capable, functional, not wrapped in agony, anguish and turmoil. im still not prescribed but it’s like everything is much clearer. I can sit down and read for an hour. I’m 31, the psychiatrist says, I think you may be adhd. mum says, oh I could’ve told you that. I glare and her mentally screaming, why didn’t you. I just fucked up everything I went near for 30 years having no clue why I need to self medicate into blackouts every night and start every morning. I thought it was strictly ptsd and depression issues.

    I’m diagnosed just not prescribed until I pee clean, it’s hard to explain but 10mg makes me feel so normal, I can just blend in, talk to people, it’s cut my cigarettes coffee and weed consumption in half, if I was already prescribed I would have no issue dropping weed forever. I have to stop self medicating for 6 weeks to get medicated. any way that’s me I got a meeting tonight it’s newcomers at the hospy so I’d rather get this out here. 3 months today woot love yas
