anyone doing sober October?

I have been doing a sober life having never smoked cigarettes or other and having never been a drinker. Just never had a need or desire to.

I think it's great that you have been sober for 21 days , I hope in 21 years we are all still chatting on this site and you are saying how you are still sober.

One way to quit a bad habit. Is to substitute it with something else. Do you like coffee?

If so when you have the urge to drink try a cup of Joe.

Or one of those foam,milk and coffee things that have coffee in them but you wouldn’t know it .

That doesn’t work well re coffee as most people drink later in the day and for a lot of people, coffee that late would make them have trouble sleeping.

If been sober just for 21 days is a big deal, you got a problem.

If you stay sober until January, you solved that problem.

A lot of people drink very regularly. More than you might realize.

I start a new job Friday.
I'm pretty much resolved to drink a lot of beer and watch old monster movies and cartoons for the next couple of days.

I will try my hardest to stay sober for a month as drink and me are not the best of friends when it comes to the hang-overs . 8-9 months sober is not unusual for me but when i get the taste

yeah. It’s the hangovers that are disruptive if I drink too much, not the night before. I handle my drink just fine in the moment,

I have been on medication the last year or so ,every time i take a drink now i seem to black out and fall the next day or two badly , i had a lucky escape last year falling in the shower i managed to make my bedroom then blacked out when i came to it looked like Dexter Morgan had chopped someone up on the bed with all the blood i lost due to medication to thin my blood , black eyes and a fall through a new television a couple of months ago and smashing into the refrigerator in the kitchen a few weeks ago the night after i had a bottle of wine bother me more than a hangover plus every time it happens means 6 months more before i can drive

Going to have a dry october

I'm doing 'Buzz ferBreakfast Fast-Tober.
It's where you drink a bottle of wine for breakfast on an empty stomach the 3rd of October before a job interview at noon.

I just found out I have an 18 year old son.

We are getting plastered.

The LAW can go kiss it's own arse.

This has been one looong month so far , i am going to get hammered come the end of the month

Day 22 and counting!
This is harder than I thought, but a good test.

I think the trickiest bit is being the only sober one when out in a group; it’s a bit ‘looking glass’ to say the least.

i was 40 days in and i fell off the wagon saturday night
