I've been sober since May 4th, so far so good. I'm trying to make it the rest of the year.
Stop Drinking
This is a place to motivate each other to control or stop drinking. It is also a place for non drinkers to discuss and share.
We welcome anyone who wishes to join in by asking for advice, sharing our experiences and stories, or just encouraging someone who is trying to quit or cut down.
Please post only when sober; you’re welcome to read in the meanwhile.
Good stuff, congrats
we're glad to have you here!
Congrats!!!
I am not drinking with you today!
I don’t know why, but I love seeing you here in the comments as well. Feels like one of those days in elementary school where a guest lecturer would come in and teach the class while the teacher sat in a desk with the kids, lol. Hope you have an awesome day!
Thank you! I usually sit in the back of the room too. 🙃
It may be a rough night tonight. But it's time. Today I will not drink
Good on you man! First priority stay safe as coming off if you are a heavy drinker can be dangerous. But we are here for you
I am not drinking with you all today!
Normally I’m a black coffee kind of guy, but tomorrow/today imma try one of my wife’s crazy teas instead of drinking. I’ll report back how it goes
When I was still drinking, I never understood people drinking tea. Now I really enjoy it. We just try different flavours green tea/herbal tea/black tea/etc from: https://www.tleaft.co.nz/ They ship world wide but I guess there is something in your area too.
I love a good herbal tea. I drink coffee in the mornings and switch to herbal tea in the afternoon.
What’s your fav? I’ll let my wife know so she can add it to her list. I might go for some Yorkshire gold in the morning and a crazy herbal for the evening, like vanilla hibiscus mango or something, I dunno what she even has. lol
I like a liquorice and mint for after dinner. I'm not a fan of straight mint but I do like the addition of liquorice.
Bird and Blend do loads of different ones so I'm trying out different ones from them at the moment, I love their Cherry Cola Bottles and Bears Like Marmalade.
Kombucha is my favorite way to drink tea. Most of them around here don't contain alcohol either.
It seems to help as well, maybe give that a shot next?
I do love kombucha, good call! It’s been a minute since I’ve gotten some. Great for the recovering gut biome after a bender as well
