Sober February (2 Viewers)

Might shoot for 2/2 through 2/26.

That 2/27 starts a weekend getaway with some serious drinking involved. I'm a little worried about messing with my tolerance leading up to it

How is it...on the other side? :cry:

We had dinner with friends last night and I swear my friend Jane was just trying to taunt me by ordering everything I would have ordered if I were drinking. First she had some sort of cocktail that featured Cava, then she had a glass of Brut Rose, and then finished the night with some port. I wanted to die.

 
Who lived to tell about it? THIS GUY!!!

Yeah.... No idea what happened last night. Just happy I still have a pulse

:hangover:

March 1.boom. Suck it February

Spent 3 nights at a bar and 1 day/night at a casino this week and managed to not drink, somehow.

Congrats to all who made it.

Now who's with me on keeping it sober until May? :lol:

in retrospect, i'm disappointed that i chose to drink twice during sober February, but i can't remember drinking that infrequently since Reagan was in office. my new goals are to minimize drinking during the (mon-thu) week and to drink in something that resembles moderation when i do.

That's impressive (not drinking at the bars and the casino). I had a few of those over the course of the month, but all in one week sounds much more challenging.

I still have one day to go; had started Feb. 2 so told myself I'd go to March 2. Hmmm, could drink at 12:01 a.m. tonight, though...

:thumbup: This is what I'd like to do, too.

 
still sober. :mellow: no real plans to get after it. i bought some wine on friday, i'll probably crack a bottle sometime this week.

 
I always give up booze for lent, so I'm along for the ride for Sober March.

Haven't had a drink since two weeks ago today. The thing that always gets me about this is how it affects my sleep. Obviously I sleep so much better and wake up much more refreshed, but I also find that I get sleepy at night easily and wind up going to bed 30 minutes or so earlier than I normally would.

 
Seems like a lot of people in this thread felt better with the moderation or break from a more regular consumption level and there seems to be a bit of desire to continue some of it heading forward.

Any ideas what we could do to help each other out? Some sort of check in or email group? Separate thread? I will say, it was good to check in here and read posts sometimes.

I'm giving it up for lent too...my last drink was Feb 17. This is my first time taking an extended break and 12 days into it I feel great. I noticed the same thing you did. I sleep great and wake up refreshed and ready to start the day. But yeah, I think it's odd that I'm tired 30-60 minutes earlier than normal.

Edit to add that I'm IN for sober March.

Broke the seal with a nice local Pilsner, followed by a 5 year old bottle of 1er cru gamay Odd choice, but delicious. Suck it bourbon nerds.

My tolerance is shot since cutting back. Went out for wings with friends last night and had ~6 beers. I'm hungover this morning. 2 Months ago, it wouldn't have fazed me a bit. Not a bad thing I guess.

I had one beer a couple days ago and I felt a little off in the morning. I had 2 beers (albeit they were in the 8-10% alcohol content range) on Monday and I was completely buzzed. :oldunsure:

 
Still going...

Even in spite of a sports bar cornhole with a FBG last night.

Ginger Ale all the way.

I can't WAIT to get drunk off one glass of Jack Daniels in May.

There was 20 yr span when I'm pretty sure I never had just one. Not once. Never thought it possible but it happens regularly now.

After a St Patty's day party binge on Saturday I'm likely shutting it down entirely until 4/20 when I run a marathon.

 
I had blood drawn on Thursday. Liver enzymes were pretty close to perfectly in the middle of range and cholesterol was even in range. This is with back-to-back trips at the end or April and May of drinking like a lush face. So, so, so, so, happy. Now I can enjoy the rest of summer.

Like Bob, I'm starting now. Had my last three beers yesterday until at least the first of March. We'll see how long I go after that.

 
Not sure what I'll do this year. Guy's winter getaway over SB weekend. Then a Super Bowl party back home that notoriously goes until dawn on Monday.

After that weekend, I'll probably be ready for a hiatus.

 
I have knee surgery Thursday so started yesterday so my bowels are all in order. Is it cheating that I'll be on percocets for 2 weeks of it? Nah, not cheating :banned:

 
In again this year, but will take Super Bowl as a drinking day. Since it's a leap year, I really should be able to skip a day anyway.

After a heavy duty drinking weekend I'm in. Business trips and Super Bowl weekend will be the test.

I always start after Superbowl.

That may be more realistic or just be ok with that day having a couple.

I didn't realize that SB wasn't until 2/7. :lmao: Stupid NFL. Every year is a drunk & gambling fest Friday through SB Sunday. It's like a 3 day Fat Tuesday celebration. So quitting just doesn't happen until after SB.

So this year no booze from 2/8 until 3/8.

 
I'm sooooo drunk. Wife and I lasted less than 2 weeks without drinking.

WHY WOULD SOMEONE DO THAT TO THEMSELVES, IT IS TERRIBLE

With the project I'm on right now there is no way in ####### hell I would be able to last a single day. Plus beer is too good not to drink it.
