Think I’m roughly your age...this was me until I started seriously dating my now wife. Now we split a bottle of wine with dinner, sometimes I drink another glass or 2 after. Really only binge drink now for trips (away games, bachelor parties, ski weekends, etc) or weddings. Still probably drink more than I should but it’s much less than blacking out every Friday/Saturday every single weekend.
Yeah man. They’ve got a really fucking good hogfish sandwich and it isn’t all mushy like daq decks fried fish sammys
Has it really only been five days? I'm cutting out sweets too and I think that's harder. I want a damn cookie or something so bad right now. In all reality, this weekend has felt great with no booze. Having some trouble sleeping and I think headaches from no sugar/sweets.
1/1: drinks 1/2: dry 1/3: drinks 1/4: drinks 1/5: dry looks like Gun Buns and i are setting records. title game tonight so minor set back for a major comeback although .333 is hall of fame level stuff anyways
Was going to do dry January until I was surprised with a trip to Savannah for new years and NYC at the end of the month. Now postponing for the span of Valentine's day - St. Patrick's day
Not had a drop since New Year’s Eve. I don’t miss it and might keep it going as long as I can. It’s helped not having any social events or work related stuff to go too.
Definitely flatter and I’ve noticed it in my face too. The biggest thing is just waking up on the weekends ready to go and feeling fresh.
Nice work. I have found that in January I have avoided some social settings to reach the goal, which is obviously not sustainable. I am excited to begin anew and plan to be successful in moderation.
Still going. Also doing about 1hr of cardio 3-4 times a week. I haven’t felt this good in a long time. More energy. Better attention span. Probably going to keep with it for a while. My Saturday and Sunday morning productivity has been great without hangovers too.
April 20th here. Pretty much the same for me except I wouldn’t consider myself then to be high functioning. Just functioning enough to get by and drive that next pull of liquor into myself. I had to leave home and completely start over to get sober. Luckily, I found Asheville, NC which is awesome. Would be lying if I said that I didn’t miss it pretty much all the time but quitting saved my life and made me a somewhat decent human being so sobriety it is from here on out.
starting today, i am going to try to take february off (with the exception of the unc/duke game on saturday and the week that i am in columbia for work and possibly any other days where a social setting arises)
Caught the flu one week ago today, and this is the first day I’ve felt semi-normal in that span. Haven’t had a drop of alcohol in 7 days and the thought of drinking repulses me at the moment because my body still doesn’t feel healed. Going to try to stretch this out even after I get to 100% because at the very least not waking up with the stale alcohol breath has felt nice.
I did 10 months in 2018 and it was fucking awesome. Some of the best 10 months of my life, now drinking again but far less than what I did before. One of the best decisions of my life and highly recommend. Also lost like 50lbs
Same. Take away weekends, social settings, any night there's a big game I'm excited about and I'll have a dry February. I have cut back significantly on liquor at least and not really drinking it straight anymore. Nights on just taking shots ends up bad for me, feel nothing till I'm 10+ deep and a madman. I've always been functional in my drinking but want to be happy
