I've seen this in previous years and searched to see if anyone started a thread this year for it but I'm not seeing it.

Anyway... anyone want to join me for a sober October?

    Im in... I'm 62 and have consumed a lot of alcohol over the years, which i'm sure has contributed to my weight gain. But now I have found alcohol consumption seems to exacerbate sore muscles to the point I can hardly move, the next day, so I'm cutting WAY back. I feel much better, now. I'm trying to eat more anti-inflammatory foods to begin a healing process of my liver and muscles. Anyone else experiencing this?

    I'm glad you're here. I am trying to eat better food, too, after September especially when I drank quite a bit too much. It creeps on and, although it's creepy season, that's the creep I don't want. Be gone bad choices and booze monster, in my case wine demon. But, definitely good that you're not drinking if it exacerbates already sore muscles. Good to give yourself a break...

    Husband's coworker and his wife invited us over for a cookout last night. While the other three adults drank alcohol, I just drank water and still enjoyed the conversation and being outdoors. Still sober October!
