Sober October

[muted]

I'm just cutting back alcohol. I'm not a stoner anyways.

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.

If I make it to the 31st, I don't think having a drink that night ruins or negates the whole month.

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.

Having a good grasp of the obvious does not make you pro in any way, sorry.

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.

Again, it's a recalibration and reflection. If I go back to 100% on Nov 1st it was all pointless.

Nothing wrong with recalibration and reflection. Just do it. Why make it a thing? And why make it public?

To quote Ozzy, “sobriety sucks”.

We also have a traditional Halloween party we attend the weekend before. I’m not much of a drinker, but I typically let loose for that one. COVID is gonna save me from the Saturday Halloween this year. I don’t remember much from the last one, but I do remember that tequila and whiskey mixed together tastes like shit.

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

Drunk syntax made perfect sense to me

Well, maybe you don't have a grasp of the obvious like I thought you did.

Halloween is the biggest holiday of the year in our house, but it's a bummer all the parties including ours will be cancelled.

October is possibly the worst month to abstain from alcohol for me. It is peak of the bird season and after a good day of chasing birds with my dog or even cutting firewood having a whisk(e)y by the fire in the evening is one of the great pleasures of the fall.

I always wonder how much people must drink to feel like they need to take a month off.

It seems like an unnecessary thing to do if you drink in moderation, even if you do so regularly, but maybe I'm wrong. I suppose we'll find out in a few decades.

Closing in on two years no drinky. I’m done with that shit

IME its gona take > a month of substance free existance to feel any difference , i think it was closer to 6 months but i did feel different

At parties I would gravitate to the other 1 or 2 people who were not drinking for undrunk conversation, i would usually wana go home by midnight when things are just getting very drunk

This post doesn’t sound sober

I'll weigh in with my vote:

Piss off.

I wasn't going to have a beer this afternoon but now I am out of principal.

Precisely why I'll never do it.

Your point would be driven home better if it wasn't still September. Cheers!

Sorry mang, but you hardly qualify as a pro for tip-giving purposes if you only consume a coupla drinks a month. Leave to those who actually imbibe.

I'm about to wrap up a Sober September. Drinking was getting kind of out of hand. I might continue through october and reevaluate after that.

[stealurface831]

Ah, it was this time last year that I woke up in the woods with no clothes on. That occasioned an involuntary sober october. Fuck that.

[SkiLyft]

When one of my friends was asked why he does sober October he said “y’all were born skinny” I laughed but needless to say taking a break from something is never a bad thing in my opinion.
