Sober October

**muted** · 09-26-2020, 06:13 PM

I have a lot of vodka to polish off before the 1st, but I have no worries that I can do it. Gotta clean out the cupboards quick. I swear there was an old thread about this one year, but I can't find it...anyone?

Probably should have done this in September, but it didn't rhyme so I enabled myself for 30 more days. Anyone else planning on this hashtag friendly challenge?

I’m in, got drunk and bet a buddy 1000$... should be a fun challenge.

I did 6 weeks this spring/summer without drinking booze or coffee. Mostly out of curiosity, it wasn't bad but I'm not sure if do it again for that long. For $1000 I'd do it, even if it's CAD

This place has really gone down hill.

Who the fuck is in charge?

Calibration is off this year, must reset it.

**westoxified** · 09-26-2020, 08:24 PM

Always. It’s the definition of dry land training.

I tried to get on board with this Sober October last year but per my Mrs. "Yeah, not we're making that a thing."

**SkiLyft** · 09-26-2020, 10:03 PM

Yup, 3rd year participating in this shit. Where’s my trophy?

Sober like no booze or sober like everything?

Who comes up with this shit? You’re not gonna drink at the Halloween party and on Halloween night? I gotta at least be good and stoned to tolerate ToT and it’s not like I’m turning down a free drink from the bar wagon.

Sobruary, people! It’s after the holidays, and it’s short.

Ive got a couple friends who love to do a dry January followed by 11 months of partying; never really understood it as I don’t think that one month off is doing much healing if you are giving your liver a pounding the other 11 months but who knows, I’m no doctor.

**riser4** · 09-27-2020, 07:22 AM

I'm thinking since I usually drink one or two drinks every couple of months, and I haven't partaken of anything else in years, that maybe I should try Oxycontin October. Oh, and pro-tip, if you think that your drinking is at a level where you should dry out for a month? Then maybe you need to cut down on a more permanent basis.

IDK what to think about these things. Functionally, a 1/12 reduction of your intake probably doesnt really make a difference in your overall risk reduction, but having an enforced break can expose some inconvenient truths.
