Did no-liquor, no-weed, no-porn, no-fab July. Turned out pretty well


Dunno about no liquor august tho

 

[1nyceballa]

I really do need to try this but I just bought a bottle on Monday so that makes it even harder...and today is Friday so idk...but I do drink about 3 times a week so taking a week off would probably do me some good...I'll try it...but I don't know how long I'll last...

If you have to abstain from something you might be doing it too much.....everything in moderation and you will be fine.

Based on all the recent responses: Realistically one "cheat deal" for a birthday, wedding, etc. is acceptable. Personally I'll be doing my best to remain completely alcohol-free throughout the month.

The reason I picked this month in particular is because of the difficulty. Last month of the summer season means parties and BBQs winding down. It's a true test of will power.

Stay strong, guys. Feel free to share your experiences whether it be temptation or just general feelings towards alcohol and partying.

Temptation: August 3rd. Buddy from college texted me about Happy Hour tomorrow in NYC. Wants to grab half off food/apps and drinks. I'm considering to go just to eat but may be challenging with five or six other people in the party consuming alcohol.

I'm in for September. Most I ever did without drinking is a month and a half. I did feel pretty good after the first 2 weeks.

 

[lynchpin33]

this one will be easy like the no soda July, being that I have never had alcohol in my life as is..... No problemo...

I actually did this last month and it ends Saturday night at Midnight. Went from July5th-August 5th without having a sip of alcohol. I usually only drink on the weekends anyway unless theres a big even during the week whether it be work related or watching a big game and in that case I'll only have 2 or 3. I needed a month detox and I feel great because of it. I would say its def worth it, you'll be surprised how good you feel health wise at the end of it.

Inspiring, man. Do you plan to extend the alcohol-free lifestyle another month or longer? Plus I would imagine the extra cash saved from expensive bar tabs is an added motivational incentive.

This one is interesting. I have a feeling No soda july will be the bigger success.

 

[rocsole]

Ya I failed

So hard.

 

[Mcflyy]

I would participate but I don't even drink so it wouldn't be much of a challenge.

 

[nocomment6]

well, good luck.

Substitute soft drinks or fast food instead?

 

[rs 87]

That's another potentially good suggestion. Alcohol and drug-free August? Members could pick one, or both if they so choose.

I dont plan extending it another month, only because I'm going on vacation tomorrow to the Bahamas lol. But maybe when I come back I'll take another month off. The money saved is definitely extra motivation. I saved quite a bit of cash, feels good man.
