Sober October

[Jimbob]

Good for you. I don't like my body "needing" things that are not needed. I like to quit coffee cold turkey a couple of times a year. I want to drink (beer, coffee, any other indulgence) because I enjoy it not because I have to.

I really tightened up my diet this September. I hunted with my Dad this August and his age really showed. He's only 63 but he's worn out. He never drank a drop in his life but he never ate healthy and never exercised for the sake of health. Just an active guy that ate whatever he wanted and it didn't do him any good. Now it is catching up to him.

I heard this saying lately: How you perform in your fifties and sixties is the result of how you cared for yourself in your thirties and forties.

I want to be going hard into my 70's so that starts now. No processed, so sugar, few grains, and limited beer.

Never a bad idea to take better care of yourself. Good luck with the month.

I love the idea of drying out but my marriage doesn't support sobriety! I'll get a little detox in the backcountry next week but that'll be the most I can do.

Cooler fall months mean sippin whiskey

Anyone talking about quitting for any reason,should usually just quit for good.

You ain't wrong there. Bulleit or Makers are my go to. Basil Hayden when I'm feeling spry.

A sober October iis just like every other month for me as well. I don't think my brain understands the word moderation once I start.

I live "Sober This Week" most of the time, generally drinking a couple drinks with dinner every few weeks or less. In support of Sober October I did pour out the last (one) beer I had hanging around in my fridge today. Good luck to those for whom this is a hard thing to do.

Haven't tried that one yet. Enjoyed a good bit of Jameson this past weekend in Green Bay though. Pre-wedding rituals.

I'm actually going the other direction a bit. I had a really clean (alcohol and diet) for Elk in September. Now that waterfowl is starting and I won't be crushing hills, I'm actually trying to put back on some weight and muscle and figure a beer or two a few times a week probably won't hurt.

BUT, more power to you and I highly encourage you to stay the course and do it. I always feel better when I'm not drinking, albeit I don't drink now anywhere near how I drank in my twenties.

HARD no from me. I'll not bow to peer pressure 'just because'.....

If I want to not drink, I won't.
But I do.
So I will.
Because this is America goddammit & I can.

No Sober October for me, like others said we just got into good whiskey-sipping weather.



Need to find another bottle of this, had this final pour sitting around for 4 years waiting on a special occasion and that finally happened last week!

Keeping it sober this month until I get something on the ground, then all bets are off.

Doesn’t sound like Sober October worked out this year for Rogan and others...

 

[dittydogood]

I’ve been doing “no drink november”since before joe rogan made sober October popular. I owe it to myself, and I save the money for hunting gear anyways haha

That's just every month for me...which is probably why no one ever wants to hang out with me. Lol

I’m a jack Daniels guy myself but I have yet to see this in any liquor store near my house. Maybe I’ve just never noticed but I might have to look into this one. Looks good

That would be a slap in the face to Octoberfest!

I'm only a four hour train ride from Munich so definitely not happening September or October.

Hell no ! All the great Octoberfest beers will be on tap !
