The Sobriety Thread

[balbec]

Six days.

Signing in. Want to be reasonably sharp for the new job so I’ve scaled back to a few pints on Fridays and a bottle of wine on Saturdays. This is the first weekend of the new regime so only had about 6 pints last night. Felt great this morning and will be off to the gym in an hour or so. Drinking is a mug’s game.

I’ve never been a big drinker but with the exception of an Old Fashioned on my birthday I’m completely off it three weeks now.

I’ve been wanting to give it up for a sustained period for some time now but I have absolutely no personality so I find socialising very difficult without having a few pints in me. I’ve now come through two social occasions (a work leaving drinks and Friday pints in the 51) by drinking non-alcoholic beers. It actually feels great to be in total control of yourself and remember everything from the night. I’m now confident I can do this for a few weeks or months.

I’ve combined the sobriety with a new early morning training regime and a few people in work have already remarked that I look less depressed and more upbeat than usual. Drinking is for mugs.

Stupid cunts that think they can’t be in any kind of social situation without pouring huge amounts of drink into themselves should be taken out of the gene pool.

6 weeks clean. Was in the gym at 8am this morning. Came home and had a nutribullet. Went off then and got the car washed. Stopped off at Super Valu on the way home and picked up ingredients to make a homemade soup. Have just had a bowl of it, to quote Darina Allen - it’s simply delicious.

Have only lost about 4lbs so far but hoping that picks up pace too.

Drinking is for mugs.

And mugs are for drinking.

6 weeks dry now. Came through another work event last night without cracking.

Left work early today and hit the gym. Set a new distance record for my 30 min run.

I’m winning. At sobriety that is. The rest of my life is very boring at the moment.

4 weeks.

Might have a hew over the weekend but in moderation

[TreatyStones]

I’m considering not drinking anything at all, as in no alcohol whatsoever for the entire weekend.

[Big_Dan_Campbell]

All jokes aside would you find that difficult?

I’m finding it very easy to abstain these days.

I lilke a bottle or two of beer in the evening at the weekend and I mean literally just a bottle or two. When that’s all I’m having I’d never see a reason not to have it.
