Some encouragement for newly sober people who may be questioning the decision to stop: Right now you're probably angry and everything seems more boring because you're not smashed off your rear end. That goes away, BUT IT TAKES TIME. Physically you'll be feeling great after a month but mentally you're not going to be so hot. The ability to enjoy things sober comes back but you really need to be patient. Exercise, eat well, and count to ten when you're frustrated. Seriously do watch your diet. If you were in deep on a booze diet where actual food made you sick your body will now be screaming at you to give it all of the sugar it no longer gets in liquid form. My regular appetite came back when I stopped but oh man did I have a sweet tooth.

If you try to get me to quit coffee I hope your affairs are in order.

Still sober. I'm thinking of getting a cigar for my 30th next month.

Take my booze? OK. Grab my cigarettes? Yeah that's fine. Take a spoonful of my ice cream? Hope your affairs are in order.

Zeris posted:Should be illegal Oh good mooooorning I'm glad you're finally up. I took the most wonderful brisk stroll at sunrise to look at nature, which unlike you does not look like hell. Sorry for making so much noise around 6 AM, I was dying for eggs. Well get a move on and get changed, we promised Bill we would do that yard work today and I'd like to be done early for some afternoon reading. The eggs? Sorry, I ate the last two. There's a cereal bar left but I think it's stale.

As we come up on the holidays I feel like preaching just a little bit. Sitting in a Thanksgiving AA meeting some years ago one old timer said this: November and December is our loving Super Bowl for staying sober.If you're sober and getting the good things back into your life, you're probably going to be around people again during the holidays and the booze will probably be flowing. Just stay calm and keep a glass of something soft in your hand. If you do feel tempted, please talk to another human being first. Here, Discord, or PMs if you want more privacy. No judgement or shame, we've been there and just talking to somebody can help you from starting something that will end badly. For any of you who are questioning what you're doing, or suffering in silence lurking this thread wondering if life will ever change, please talk to us. We know it's embarrassing to start talking. Trust us that we've experienced what you're going through, be it massive hangovers to DTs, seizures, and hospital visits. It doesn't have to be that way and we want to help you. With that downer out of the way I like to watch Robin Williams' bit on alcoholism once in a while since there's truth in it and it makes me laugh. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLtPp_xIpC4

I've had a few moments where a cold beer with a hot dog on a warm day sounded extremely tempting. Enjoying some other refreshing drinks instead.

Congrats man! I had my psych checkup yesterday and the doc asked if I still had cravings and I can only remember one- there's was a hot July day where I really wanted a hot dog and a beer. He said it's good that my cravings are on experiential wants (summer refreshment, enjoying socializing with a drink) and not craving the substance itself so much.

If it were me I would say no. Different juices go pretty well with club soda, and mixing them can get decent results.

I'm sorry man. Play that tape out in your head- the drinking scenario. We all know where it ends the next day. Hop on Discord if you want to chat. Stay sober today and ask yourself if you want to drink again tomorrow. Just stay sober for today.
