I started sobriety a few weeks ago.


That sounds dramatic, but really all I did was choose to have some time off the booze for a few months. My aim is to be alcohol-free until May/mid-May and have a few sober nights out before then. And the end goal is to be able to handle my drinking better and not over-do it/relying on being drunk to have a good time.

YESSSS MARC

I did it a couple of years ago and honestly I didn't even care about drinking... for me I'd definitely say it's more fun to drink when you're with friends/in that environment, but it's not really a priority either. I drink way more on my own than with friends so it's not much of a problem

Same for me, I want to be able to control it better and not do it all the time just because I feel like it

Mint not another attempt to avoid the inevitable?. Don't forget alcohol kills Covid. This is the wrong time to give up the cure.

Sugar keeps posting about alcohols benefitting the covid

I don't want to stop forever because I enjoy it sometimes, but maybe just on ~special occasions rather than every other day

This is what I do pretty much. I've been drunk at most 4 times a year for about 9 years now... just things like weddings/stag nights.

That said, I think the last time I had alcohol was nearly 18 months ago and I didn't bother at the last wedding I was at .

Honestly though, people assume if you say you don't drink that you must "be sober" because you "had a problem". No I just got bored of it! Overdid it when I was at Uni (and to be fair... latterly at school) and the appeal has just completely vanished now. Really for the last year od Uni it was "going through the motions" anyway... was still going out drinking heavily but it wasn't all that fun and the hangovers were rough. Pointless.

Yeah I think that even makes it a bit more enjoyable. I used to LOVE drinking at events or if I went out with friends etc, but now it's just... normal?

And that's so true as well... last time when I quit for 9 months people always asked why and assumed it was because there was an underlying reason for choosing to quit but I just didn't want to drink every weekend
