Who doth join me this Day of Hump???
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/stopdrinking 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!
Happy hump day. IWNDWYT.
Good morning, fellow sobernauts, IWNDWYT 😁!
G’mornin! I will stay sober with this wonderful bunch of sweet-assed sober people this day! Mid-week humpday blues, maybe… But, I’m gonna dig in and get the old gray sponge occupied this morning.
Old gray sponge?
Gray matter, brain, mind, The Boys In The Basement, etc… The part of us that soaks everything up, mentally… just something to focus on. The more immersed in something I get, the less I tend to crave getting shit-hammered to try to shut my thoughts down. (And, honestly, alcohol tends to do the opposite of that, anyways… I would drink to “forget” but the effect was almost always to focus intensely on all the shittiest parts of whatever it was that I was trying to forget in the first place…) Just something I found funny for a moment.
Omg that makes total sense. DUH on me lol. I’m literally wondering where yin buy a grey sponge.
That made me giggle.
Thanks, Z!
