UPDATE:

October 1st is here! Let's go boyos!

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I know what you're thinking. It's not October. Thing is, October 1st comes and such a thread gets posted, you have to make an impulsive decision to join, success rates might fall. Doing "Early Access" gets you into the rhythm and habit, making October 1st even easier. I'll be TRYING to start tomorrow (09/20/2022).

To me Sober October means: No alcohol, No tobacco, Fap once a week (and not to pronz), no pronz, track macros, work out consistently.

Personal things I'm excluding: Weed and caffeine. Gotta live a little right?

Post your plans, and sign on up for Sober October, even if you decide to start specifically on October 1st.

Gonna track everything in a Google Sheet as described below.

Welcome fam. Not having drank since Aug 10th makes you a shoe-in till you decide it's right.

Cool thread idea, I'm in! I have already been in recovery since March 30th, so that will help. I'm not gonna have a goal of macros or diet, but I do intend to do some sort of daily exercise. And also, I have been doing monk mode, so no porn, no masturbation, or even no orgasm.

I know we can support each other in this thread, but I encourage others to look at the sober/recovery stickied thread. Also, if anyone is interested, I can provide an invite code for our sober discord chat.

Surprised this was stickied wtf lol.

Where I'm at so far...

Had a little tobacco, fapping still, but definitely doing good on Caloric deficit, exercising, alcohol avoidance, avoiding restaurants, etc.

Welcome aboard! Sounds like you'll fit right in and succeed with ease.

I'm probably doing once-a-week fap, since they say once a week is healthy. But no pronz.

You'll save some money, end the month leaner than otherwise, and potentially avoid some unwanted scenarios if you're one to sometimes go overboard.

DAS IT MANE. If I had such events planned in October I'd give myself a pass those days too, though I will say I'd add a few days into November to make up for it. You'll crush this one with ease.

Last time I did Sober October I intended to last 30 days, ended up going 45 just because I felt so good!

Good job Dave man. Are you just staying sober for 2022 or is lifelong/years your goal?
