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!

Don't you HAVE to have a ward AA for rehab? Is that not the point? I am so stoked you made some emotional progress - that is huge, I know that has been weighing on you a lot the past year. and the fart incident is fantastic, I love it. :) Hugs to you mate. <3

major update, 20min before the meeting the old chair came up to me and asked for a chat, of course, how bout we put all this behind us, become mates again I said absolutely I apologize and he apologized, we hugged and he complemented me on my guitar playing, I said I miss his company, I asked for the letters I wrote to him back so I could burn them but he understandably tore them up. I invited him to the meeting he declined but said monday for sure. THEN just before started the young lady who said she'd never attend another meeting again I saw her walking up the hallway towards us and my heart just swelled up and I was like FUCK yes welcome back. we lost 2 members and gained them back.

we really nailed step 8 and 9, but not promptly enough but that's ok addiction is about making mistakes.

oh and the day ended with the most vivid rainbow ive ever seen. such a rollercoaster.

15 hours til muffin gets here ! she's going to flip and be so proud of her new and improved daddy, mums going to film her lil yippy freakout HELLO DAD I MISSED YOU THROW THE BALL I'll put it on youtube for you guys

I am not in AA but my sister in law is… and I know it can take time to work thru the steps. Don’t rush and give yourself some grace. 😘
