Hi all. Good to be back on the site. I’m on day 10 and hope I can support all of us on the same journey. So far it’s been okay with occasional pangs. I do feel tired and overweight.

yup, sober October going well.

I paid £2.20 for a pint of Soda and LIME in a pub today after gym class.
That's some markup for a non-drinker to stomach.

Some very positive comments on here.

I have had 3 pints of soda and lime after sports. Doing OK.

Shields up !

Good work soberoids.
I am doing fine, the odd pang, but manageable.
Shields up !

Halfway thru - and liking it

Shields up soberoids !

Liking the group support here for SO.

Went to a great BBQ yesterday, just 4 of us, 2 drinking, 2 on SO.
Very happy to have stuck to soft drinks. It was a great day. End of story.

shields up - it's only a habit !

Lucy,

You are showing admirable courage, resilience, empathy and self-awareness right now. And openness. You're amazing.

Good description chriscole.
And good for saving the money, saving your time, and your sanity by getting the train.

Day 3 on SO.
well done all.

I've got a cold too.
So pleased I had started on Sober October.

So far, so good.
Shields up, mateys!

Well done all !

To wobble is human. We have history.


I was at a big event, with free wine and beer after. I had lemonade. My Dry January is just that. Nuffink alcoholic, free or not.
