Sober September

[MsSmartShoes]

Does anyone fancy a clean month without booze after the summer?

I want to eat fresh healthy food, do more exercise, and have a much needed break from alcohol.

I did three weeks of Dry January.

I do have two events this month. I’d like to do them sober.

Yes, starting to feel better also. Actually lookimg forward to arriving at the next weekend sans booze! I'm also not as tired as I was last week... was anyone else shattered throughout those first 5/6 days?

Still here, still dry. Feeling less anxious and quite energetic generally. How many people do we still have on board?

I’m still booze-free (day 19) and I don’t feel any better physically, but mentally feel really good about having made the decision. Really want to learn how to mix good, dry not sweet, grown up tasting mocktails or other drinks. Like an AF marg/negroni or similar. Anyone done this?

Hey, day 15! Over the hump we go !

I got as far as day 18 and was feeling so much better for it, then fell down drastically and really beating myself up about it. I’m back to abstaining from alcohol again today and plan to keep it up and just only drink a minimal amount of alcohol after that. I just hate the effect it has on my health and anxiety and how scary it is that I struggle with willpower when it comes to drink. Sometimes I really wish I had never discovered alcohol in the first place.

Well done for getting back on the wagon @Ceriane.
I'm still here and sober but finding it tough at weekends.

Thanks @Hohofortherobbers we can do this! I think there’s definitely more of a temptation at the weekends, I think I want a good long break from it and then I’m just going to put some rules/regs in for myself about moderation. I just hate how excessive alcohol makes me feel the next day.

Hey, so day 30 done. Anyone still with me?

Did it! Apart from my wobble on 18th! Feel so much better for it.
