Yep, no alcohol or weed all month. I actually started a few days early in September. I feel great, I'm thinking about keeping it going and just abstaining from the liquid and herbal israelites
I'm hungover and about to go to work. Im going to try drink as much water as possible and do as much walking around as possible. Need to quit drinking bros.
Lmao I've been sober for 2 years. One day I said, I don't feel like drinking anymore. Haven't had a drink since. It really isn't that hard. Alcohol is nasty anyway. Most beer is gross, vodka burns, and whiskeys are only ever good in coke
Going to quit all together. Missed a day of school today, for the first time since I enrolled, because I threw off my sleep schedule due to a hangover. I am better off without alcohol if that is how it affects me these days.
I started late but I’m 20 days sober. The hurdles where I crave a drink are the first two days, then again after two weeks, then again after two months. As long as I can get through those cravings it gets easier. Longest I went sober is a year and a half. I’m 29 and want to quit all together when I’m 30.
for alchohl? besides one beer once at a show yes. I wasn't trying to quit the one beer a month I have anyway though. I was trying to give up weed for a month which I failed on day 11. I'm just gonna accept the fact that I have an addiction and try to moderate it the best I can while accomplishing other life goals though. Better than being an alcoholic at least, not morally but physically (doesn't kill your gains).
didn't even know it's a thing, but, incidentally, I got bored of drinking almost everyday for years around the end of September, didn't feel like drinking for a few days, then just forgot about it and haven't drunk anything since then
can i ask you something? why do so many ex addicts count the days like that? i recovered from addiction and have an approximate idea of when i got clean but counting the days like that is absurd to me, it seems like youre just giving more power to the idea of addiction by putting so much emphasis on abstinence rather than what you do with the freedom you now have.
ive sincerely wondered about this for years because so many people count the days they have sober but it also seems really rude to ask
I randomly did it a couple days ago because I suddenly realized I had made it past 25 months while I was doing the dishes.
The only day that counts is today but it is a nice confidence boost from sense of accomplishment. Conversely, it is extremely dangerous to get cocky or complacent.
IDK, must be linked to the programs. I think I believe more in the fact that it's basically a disease and you're never cured. I could stop blazing but ultimately I'm still an addict.
I fucking played Diablo 4 for hours yesterday. I thought I was going to get a quick 30 minutes in before bed, then I look at the clock and it's been 2.5 hours and it was 12:30am...
Addiction is addiction. I'm always going to be an addict.
And now you hsve discovered why you actually quit, people who start counting streaks are doing the wrong strategy, it's the biggest cope that exists, is like trying to convincing you to endure the pain of soberness to not drop a number.
If you want to quit, you just quit, without anniversaries, without writing a daily journal or sharing it in the internet with fellow chuds, as long as you didn't messed up with some drugs that make you dependent, cold turkey is and always will be the way
I didn't remember it was a thing. I haven't had a drink for three weeks though since the last time I got drunk I made a huge clown of myself and the cringe made me stop for awhile. Also it ruins my weight-loss efforts.
I don't need to drink
I want to drink
Maybe when you grow up you'll learn the difference but you should probably be doing your homework rather than posting like a retard on SwoleShack
January is the best time to do a month sober because xmas is over. January is always tough to get through without drinking. I just have to make sure I'm fully stocked up on weed, ketamine and mushrooms and I can get through it
>Being sober is a "challenge"
Lol at the state of homosexuals, at least I can understand normal people since they get drunk but go to parties and have sex, you are in 4chud why would you even drink? You are a shame to SwoleShack
I don't remember the last time I drank. I think I may have had a beer or two, maybe one cocktail. Drinking is more trouble than it's worth in your 30s.
I got drunk once, on Saturday.
Towards the end of Septemb1er I promised myself I'd only get drunk once a month. It's normally like 3 or 4, not much really but I'm tired of it. Once is ok, I get to enjoy being a drunk idiot without it getting in the way in healthy moderation.
I did drink a bunch of beer while on a vacation, but never got drunk. Don't intend to do that, tho, just make exceptions if I have a trip for leisure.
I didn't even realize but yeah, I don't think I've had a beer all october.
Fpbp, same. I have accidentally succeeded at sober October, being sick for most of this month probably helped.
Yep, no alcohol or weed all month. I actually started a few days early in September. I feel great, I'm thinking about keeping it going and just abstaining from the liquid and herbal israelites
I don't have a drinking problem but I hope you addicts have managed to fight the demons this month
Are ye all muzzies, or is this board just full of boring, autistic cunts?
>is this board full of boring autistic cunts
yes, yes it is
alcoholism is a skill issue and these scrubs got filtered
The skill of slowly killing yourself and making a fool of yourself
What a wonderful and useful skill you possess
Last time I had alcohol was around October 26th. 2019. Feels awesome man.
I got drunk twice about 10 years ago and I think that's about it for this lifetime.
I'm hungover and about to go to work. Im going to try drink as much water as possible and do as much walking around as possible. Need to quit drinking bros.

It's surprisingly easy to quit
hmm didn't follow it but maybe next month I will do such a thing. No Drink November?
Going to quit all together. Missed a day of school today, for the first time since I enrolled, because I threw off my sleep schedule due to a hangover. I am better off without alcohol if that is how it affects me these days.
Had one beer last night, first in a while didn't even feel good.
I have never drank alcohol in my life.
I started late but I’m 20 days sober. The hurdles where I crave a drink are the first two days, then again after two weeks, then again after two months. As long as I can get through those cravings it gets easier. Longest I went sober is a year and a half. I’m 29 and want to quit all together when I’m 30.
Poured a bit of whiskey in my tea yesterday. Got a bit pissed after.
I drink few times a year. Sober months are for alkies so they can "prove" they are not addicted.
Broke up with gf on the 17th so i had one drink that night. Otherwise im clean
for alchohl? besides one beer once at a show yes. I wasn't trying to quit the one beer a month I have anyway though. I was trying to give up weed for a month which I failed on day 11.

A couple weeks until 1 year for me, feels good
Fuck alcohol
Binged 3 times during it. I am done with alcohol for a bit and acknowledge I can't control myself once I start drinking.
I got busy and forgot to buy alcohol
769 days in. It gets easier, but never really easy.
WAGMI

congrats on 25 months. i guess what you say makes sense too, thanks for responding

if things in real life had achievements or trophies like video games I'd be more willing to do them

Because often it's all they have going for themselves.
I dont drink ever, so yes, I did do the bare minimum of not being a degenerate this month
im having money problems rn. so that's the only reason im sober for more than 2 months
I got absolutely fucking wasted for my friends birthday party last week but other than that I haven't had a drop
JESUS WON'T YOU FUCKING WHISTLE
I didn't remember it was a thing. I haven't had a drink for three weeks though since the last time I got drunk I made a huge clown of myself and the cringe made me stop for awhile. Also it ruins my weight-loss efforts.
Alcohol is for degenerates, and this is coming from an athiest. If you need alcohol to socialize, you are unironically a weak willed homosexual
I find socialising boring without alcohol unless it's with close mates who I can have a proper laugh with.
I don't need to drink
I want to drink

Giving into your destructive desire is arguably worse than indulging a necessity.
"Destructive desire" nigga it's a fucking beer grow up
>It's cool, bro. It's just watered down poison.
Justify however you want, it's your life. Your defensiveness implies insecurity though.
>grow up
Says the homosexual alcoholic
kys degen retard

yall niggas need a dedicated month for that? lmao
It's a Joe Rogan thing.
No
Last time I had alcohol in my bloodstream was my birthday in January. So yes, I made it this far.
>Being sober is a "challenge"

This. I get drunk after 2 beers, more than that and I'll feel like shit next day.
I don't drink, pills and even weed are way better.

Towards the end of Septemb1er I promised myself I'd only get drunk once a month. It's normally like 3 or 4, not much really but I'm tired of it. Once is ok, I get to enjoy being a drunk idiot without it getting in the way in healthy moderation.

i haven’t had alcohol since july 4th, 2015. i was 20 years old. i toasted with water at my wedding last year and it felt great.
Im breaking it currently. 30 days is enough
Also, I didnt feel any different at all except the benefits of lowered anxiety, better sleep and shits. Better sleep is the best benefit IMO.
sober since 8/18 so its been easy
October is the month I go off the rails. November onward is for sobriety.
GF sent me this today as a cute reminder of our early days when I was drinking heavily. Not gonna lie, sometimes I miss it.
Started late but going strong
kek based schizo alcoholic
I failed
I hate alcohol and anything related to it
I have so since the age of 14
didn't know such a thing existed, just two days ago got so drunk that I started humping all of my acquaintances at random while heiling the fuhrer 🙁
