Lack of alcohol = Junk food is more justifiable
Lol when I’m drinking I have a hard time turning down anything, whether it’s junk food, sweets, blow, sex without a condom, another drink etc

Fell off the wagon bros. It's day 8 for me - 9:40 pm and I'm two bourbons deep. I will keep trying, I seem to be able to do 1 week no problems, then it all goes to ****.

I'm putting myself to bed before I get thirsty again.

Stay strong everyone!

Dam another one bites the dust. At least you didn't binge and get drunk (i hope) which i surely would have done.

I couldn't sleep last night just kept waking up every 30 minutes with stomach pain i think i might have too much mercury in my system from eating hella tuna and salmon for the last 3 days. When I did finally get to sleep around 4, i had horrible dreams of drinking and doing blow. Didn't get to wake up early to ride my bike before work.

I wonder if the week was you knowing in the back of your mind it's the weekend and associating that with drinking? Last Sunday was probably the toughest day for me since I cut the grass then watched football which is usually a time I'll be drinking.

Get back on the horse brah it's not like you have to quit the whole month now.

It's easy to be tempted to throw all your fuks out the window if you have a moment of weakness, but we have a lot of October left.

Keep on trucking everyone.

Yea I’ve been exercising a lot too and I feel a cold coming on. I can’t lie… it’s Friday, it’s raining where I live, I don’t want to work out anymore, I can’t ride my bike. I really just want to get a shot of Jameson and a beer. Fukk. I’m only human, someone please talk some sense into me.

feels brother

I so badly want to down 3 jager bombs and catch a buzz but i promised myself i'd do this entire 30 days without a single drop of alcohol

today is really really hard for some reason perhaps because its a Friday night and the start of week 2

now more than ever is when we should make sure we are staying the course

Going to a bar tomorrow to catch some UFC.

Will be drinking Diet Coke and water. Will be snacking on chicken wings.

Previous times I've gone to bars by myself without any drinking, I feel out of place and uncomfortable, srs. I feel unable to socialize to randoms, especially if they're already drunk. Gonna see if I can work on that during tomorrow's experience.

good luck boyos.

I've already passed the difficult stretch where I went out for dinner a few times w/ the parents while visiting home, but didn't drink. Feels good.

Just got back home, and it's pretty smooth sailing from here.

Idk if you're much of a gamer but your recent options are:

Back 4 Blood (came out today for those who pre-order, early access)
Battlefield 2042 Open Beta (started this week)
Far Cry 6 (came out 2 days ago)

I've been smoking a little 420 and playing a game, or watching Seinfeld on Netflix tbh.

I'm still going but tonight it's tough. Huge fight with the wife, still don't really know over what, so I'm sitting here reading about how to save a marriage because things aren't looking good at the moment. Really could use a drink but I'm holding out. Wish me luck on both.

Woke up early today. Hit the gym. Went to the pool. Played some video games. Went to two bars. The first for the 4PM ET UFC fights - wanted to see Brown Vs Gooden. Now sitting at the second to catch the Fury v Wilder fight.

Told bartender I was doing Sober October so I just wanted a food menu. She said it would be impossible for her to commit to that. Lmao.
