Date: January 3rd, 2017 1:14 PM Author: carmine thriller clown For me, I stopped reading and watching movies as my alcoholism progressed. In sobriety, I read a lot, I've studied foreign languages, and I train in jiu-jitsu. The point is that you have to pour yourself into healthy pursuits instead of simply telling yourself not to do something. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3480003&forum_id=2#32289120) |

Date: January 3rd, 2017 1:12 PM Author: Maroon Galvanic Meetinghouse This was my goal too. Did heavy drinking and puke on 12/31. I cracked open my first beer on the golf course at 10:30am on January 1st. Drank bottle of wine with dinner last night. But maybe today is the day.

|
Date: January 3rd, 2017 2:14 PM Author: Milky native jew yes. About $3600 a year in dues, and then whatever I spend. Golf is extra, and I play on average once a month, but use the excellent practice facilities another 1-2 times a month. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3480003&forum_id=2#32289548) |

|
Date: January 3rd, 2017 2:20 PM Author: Milky native jew yeah, totally reasonable. And that gets you access to an amazing downtown club for free (that I sadly never use).
Golf is about $100.
Only sucky thing is that I can only take one guest per month on the Ocean Course, and never on the Lake course (the US open course). Would have to become a golf member for that, and the wait list is like 15 years and another $50k. |
|
Date: January 3rd, 2017 1:48 PM Author: Trip area sound barrier Yeah weekdays are easy. It's hard to make it through full weekends let alone multiple weekends in a row though. There's always some dinner or someone wants to get a drink or just some big football game where a few beers would really hit the spot, etc. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3480003&forum_id=2#32289347) |

Date: January 3rd, 2017 1:54 PM Author: Milky native jew I think I just need to avoid socializing for the month. Have a 3-day ski trip planned for MLK day. Don't know if I can do it. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3480003&forum_id=2#32289399) |

|
Date: January 3rd, 2017 1:56 PM Author: Trip area sound barrier Yeah. There's always something every month though. A month is a long time to go. I think maybe just making a goal not to do any 4+ drink sessions in a month would be a good goal. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3480003&forum_id=2#32289425) |

Date: January 3rd, 2017 2:01 PM Author: Milky native jew that's too easy. need to push a little harder. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3480003&forum_id=2#32289467) |
|
Date: January 3rd, 2017 2:02 PM Author: Trip area sound barrier Lol not for me. I easily can go a week or two without drinking but eventually I'll end up having 6-10 drinks in a day. Not doing it for a month would be an accomplishment for me at this point. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3480003&forum_id=2#32289476) |

Date: January 3rd, 2017 9:26 PM Author: vengeful nudist site nibblets that's the real challenge. met a guy for a drink after work today and drank 2 club sodas. took the obligatory shite for 2 mins then fine (though I did find him more tedious than usual) (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3480003&forum_id=2#32292514) |

This. The 1-2 times I've abstained or largely abstained from drinking (like maybe 3-4 drinks a week, max) have been times when my social life has been negligible (like I'm stuck in a random city for a few weeks for work). |

|
Date: January 3rd, 2017 9:21 PM Author: vengeful nudist site nibblets Doing this now. I manage to do it every 2 out of 3 years. Had a punishing hangover on Jan 1 so first two days were easy.
I actually find weekdays harder as I socialize after work or come home and just want a drink. Weekends are easy, wife, kids, exercise, etc |

Date: January 7th, 2017 12:51 PM Author: Red Unhinged Trust Fund Boltzmann Feb is a good month to go nodrink if you can swing it, except for Super Bowl and Valentines/President's Day Weekend. If you don't have a significant other and you don't care about football, this could be the credited month to stay inside and not socialize.

Had an edible weed chocolate last night because I was so tired of being fully sober. Cheating? |

Date: January 7th, 2017 12:49 PM Author: Red Unhinged Trust Fund Boltzmann I am dead confident that people who do Dry January either just do a ton of drugs/live in weed legal states, or have zero social life. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3480003&forum_id=2#32319934) |
