I did this yesterday and at night I was so tired I just went to sleep rather than obsess over drinking.

It’s fall so let’s get outside before the weather gets cold (besides in the south)
Been there done that.

Weather is nice today, kind of chill/overcast grey sky. I'm going to go ride my bike around the neighborhood, get 10 miles in.

Afterwards: cooking lunch/dinner, video games, guitar practice, and reading horror novels/watching horror movies.

Weekends are great, and you don't need drugs or alcohol to have fun, just good hobbies!

So far no issues. Zero alcohol, no cravings. Only thing that happened was earlier today on a Saturday I was like "hmm normally I'd probably want a little liquor or some beer to go with X Y Z," just an observation as opposed to craving.

Hitting the weed vape a couple times though, but lack of alcohol is going good.

Alright, a little late to the party, but count me in. Getting the initial start is hard as fuk (like 2-3 weeks), but then it starts to get easier...so if I actually make it through the month, then hopefully I'll keep it going and get back on the wagon.

It varies a lot for me, but multiple times a week isn't uncommon - working from home hasn't helped. I don't generally get totally smashed often these days (I certainly used to in the past) but I still get substantially drunk and consume quite a bit when I drink.

Why? It's mainly a boredom thing. You get used to that high/instant gratification from it or just the "I could enjoy this even more drunk" thoughts. I also have a family history so possibly genetically predisposed.

I never drink at home. I'm a social drinker. I only drink when I go out. But then I'm out for like 9 hours straight so it's easy to drink a lot - like 12+. And I usually do 24 hour fasts and drink on an empty stomach which doesn't help. If I never went out to the bar I'd never drink. I have a bottle of tequila that sits for years in my home freezer. White Claws will sit for months until I maybe take a few to the beach to pregame. I have no interest in drinking at home. If I drank at home I'd be bouncing off the walls and raring to go out.

I drink every day/nearly every day in moderation, 2 or max 3. Who said it was becoming a problem? But I do think it's good to stop now and then - I lose weight when I'm not drinking and it's also good to make sure having a drink at night is just a habit and not a compulsion. If it ever got hard for me to stop that would be a serious sign.

Your sobriety will end when we would be finally able to have a drink together, I swear it'll be soon.

You are my best friend ever, no friend of mine should be left sober.

But I must approve until then, your being sober and enjoying your sanity.

Wow, 3 years is great! GJDM!

Today will be my challenging day. I've always eaten clean all week and saved sweets for the weekends, especially Sunday nights when my son comes for dinner and a movie. I didn't buy any dessert for tonight so that should help.

I don't eat protein bars or use protein powder. I get all my protein from real food. I do eat an apple pretty much every day and I plan to have an apple with natural PB tonight as my "dessert" but it's not the same as ice cream or cookies. lol
