Is anyone doing sober spring?

Just heard about it.

No alcohol from 20 March to 20 June.

Has anyone done this before or thinking of giving it a go.

I'm tempted but not sure I'd manage all that time.

I starter sober January on the 6th and haven't had a drink since. I think it's surprising how quickly you get out the habit and I was definitely at/ over guideline amounts per week.

I did it in 2020 and haven’t touched a drop of alcohol since.

One of the best things I’ve ever done. Highly recommend.

I did dry January & kept going, am on day 72 now & loving it!

I drank a lot & didn’t think I’d get through a week but I’m so glad I did now.

It'll merge into my ongoing Dry January like others have said!

I’ve heard good things about that book. Do you think it would still be worth reading even although I’m a couple of months sober? From a help validate my decision/ not slip in the future perspective.

I give up alcohol for Lent every year. After the first week I don't miss it. It's habit really. I even go out with friends for drinks and just have a fruit juice.

Yes definitely worth a read even if already sober.

There are so many embarrassing stories in there that I related to and made me never want to drink again ha!

@Badbudgeter apologies, above response was in reply to you 😀

Nah fuck that, it's for alcoholics

Never heard of sober spring 🤔 I did dry January after over indulging over Christmas, that's enough for me.
