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!

    6 days, 18hrs. 2 possibly 3 more weeks of rehab. had my first proper meltdown this morning, mostly due to insomnia, medications having zero effect and zero appetite/brutal nightmares from cannabis wds. crying having a cig I saw a couple walking a labrador that looked exactly like my old bob, bawled harder finally decided to run after them “excuse me please im so sorry but im having a meltdown can I please pat your dog? yes of course her name is cassie, are you ok is there anything we can do? would you like us to walk you back to the nurses?” while im just giving this super friendly dog all the love for about 3mins. im tearing up just writing this, “thankyou no I’ll be ok I just have to call my sponsor” so I spent half an hour on the phone to my sponsor then my mum, chain smoked and deep breathing til I finally calmed down enough to go back to the ward and ask them for help, I turn the corner into the hallway and there’s a black lab. that absolutely broke me I just dropped to my knees and started bawling twice as hard I miss my muffin so bad. another patient grabbed my arm and took me to a quiet room and got a nurse cause I was in extreme distress, I feel such shame and guilt that I kept choosing my addiction over my pets. they’re well looked after at my parents.

    everyone’s so nice and helpful guys fr im so grateful,

    GOOD NEWS on saturday my parents are driving the 400kms to bring her for a visit. a whole bunch of patients just had pet show and tell, showing photos and videos and they can’t wait to meet her.

    it’s going to hurt so bad when they’ll have to leave but what im doing is so worth it so I can be there for my muffin and cuba.
