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!

      When I was still drinking, I never understood people drinking tea. Now I really enjoy it. We just try different flavours green tea/herbal tea/black tea/etc from: https://www.tleaft.co.nz/ They ship world wide but I guess there is something in your area too.

      I love a good herbal tea. I drink coffee in the mornings and switch to herbal tea in the afternoon.

        What’s your fav? I’ll let my wife know so she can add it to her list. I might go for some Yorkshire gold in the morning and a crazy herbal for the evening, like vanilla hibiscus mango or something, I dunno what she even has. lol

          I like a liquorice and mint for after dinner. I’m not a fan of straight mint but I do like the addition of liquorice.

          Bird and Blend do loads of different ones so I’m trying out different ones from them at the moment, I love their Cherry Cola Bottles and Bears Like Marmalade.

      Kombucha is my favorite way to drink tea. Most of them around here don’t contain alcohol either.

      It seems to help as well, maybe give that a shot next?

        I do love kombucha, good call! It’s been a minute since I’ve gotten some. Great for the recovering gut biome after a bender as well
