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.
For the next 24 hours, let’s not drink alcohol!
Have a fantastic Friday everyone!! :) Sober on, my friends!
Nice job. I know how hard that kind of situation can be.
I’m sorry you felt like an outsider. As someone whose family and friend groups is full of binge drinkers, I know that feeling well.
What works for me has always been leaving when I feel like it. I’ve also set boundaries with loved ones, which helped me prevent being in many – but not all – difficult situations. And my wife, kid, and I do a lot of fun, active stuff – and more and more, people we know want in on that, which helps a ton.
Anyway, you’re a champion. Way to go!
Thank you for your very friendly response! Much appreciated.
Yes, I was saying to my wife, if I had been drinking I probably would have fun. But I would have to spend a lot on an uber, get home drunk, and have a hangover all day. Now I am feeling great and I can do fun things with the family.
Take care.
Sure thing. Sounds like you really thought it through. I’m gonna borrow a page from your book during a slippery situation tomorrow. Thanks!
