Sober February (2 Viewers)

[St. Louis Bob]

Every February after Superbowl, I attempt to not drink the delicious brownest of all brown liquors JD and any other alcohol.

I generally make it until the end of week 3.

This is a documentation of my ascension into madness.

What did you do?

 

[E-Z Glider]

Did you hit any of those superbowl squares?

 

[Leroy Hoard]

Try picking a shorter month.

What did you do?

Nothing. Just at a point in my life where I rarely drink(usually on vacation in the summer). Buddies from college drink all the time but I rarely see them. Usually hang out with parents in my neighborhood or friends parents of my daughters. Hardly any drinkers among them. Went to a SB party on Sunday and just drank diet coke. It really didn't bother me.

Oh. I'm thinking about giving up quilting then.

OH YEAH!

I'm amazed too & I can't believe you are going all year. I think until March sometime is plenty to prove your sobriety.True drunks can't even make it a month.

If you already don't drink much at all, why would giving it up have any value to you?I don't get it. What benefit would come from giving it up the few other times you consume it? And would it really even be hard to do?

Doesn't one descend into madness?

Depends on your starting point.

Right.A drink actually sounds pretty good right now too. How long has it been?

Although it's in Aus. Saw the ad, thought about it, realised I've got waaaaaaaaay too much on in Feb (it's still summer here too), decided that while my liver could use the break, my social life had no such need.

You are correct. I'm not really giving up much because it doesn't have any value to me. I guess I'm just getting old.

Ich glaube, ich war in Ordnung, bis heute tun. Ich möchte wirklich einen Drink. Es hilft nicht, dass mein Vater mich zum Abhören ist ein Bier mit ihm.

Plus, wenn ich nüchtern bin auch ich mit einer dicken deutschen Akzent.

 

[Drifter]

I have not had a drink since the Superbowl either. However, estimates put me at 8 beers, 5 jaeger bombs and about 12 Jack & Cokes (casino size) on that occasion.

I will probably have a beer or two tomorrow night.

I went bowling Saturday night and didn't drink, it wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it would be.

It's been 3 minutes since that post but still sober.

 

[bushdocda]

I haven't had a drop since NYE primarily bc newbaby and old baby have pummeled us so bad I couldn't handle the wake ups with even a beer or two.

This is easily the longest I've been without a drink in over 15 years.

My wife definitely likes me more when I'm drankin but I am now in a weird place where I don't know when I'll decide to. I am a binge drinker so no amount really ever satisfied so with Dad responsibilities I am better off without the delicious sauce these days.

[Wrigley]

Just got over a "No Drink January"

#### that, I'm drinking all February

 

[MarshallPlan]

If there's a month this can happen it's February. No football, short month. March = March Madness for 2 weeks.
