Goals: I like the idea of saying I can have alcohol if I want, but I don't want to right now. If I walk, exercise, try to keep my stress manageable, by using what I know to work (and I am open to more suggestions), drink water early and keep hydrated, eat healthy for the most part, I will plan on abstaining as much as possible. I really want a good losing month.4

I blew September
I think I was only good for like 1 weekend. Ughh.
But I want to be confident in myself and my body, and definitely by Halloween.
So maybe Sober October will be better for me. *Fingers crossed!*
Right there with you. Think it would be easier to count the days I did not drink vs the ones on which I did!4 -

You can do that. Just keep track of your sober days

My goal is to not drink all of October and share a special bottle of wine with my husband in the beginning of November. I started last night.4

I'm in for "Sober October. I run a bar/restaurant and am tired of being tired. Been 1 week alcohol free and I don't know how to describe how I feel. It's just "different. I know wine has a ton of calories. One of my regular (not so much anymore, LOL!!) quit drinkin New Years and has lost 80 lbs. If he can do it, so can I!!11

Back for Sober October. September was hard but got through without a single drink, so hoping it gets easier with time.6

Count me in. I've been AF for 4 days now. I would typically drink 2-3 vodkas an evening. Going to the gym at least 4 times a week has really helped me keep the cravings demon at bay. Unfortunately, my mouth still waters in anticipation at around 5 pm; I really hope that subsides soon. Good luck everyone.9

I'm in this month too! September's thread was so helpful. Same rules for me: no weekday drinking; two drinks but preferably one or less on weekend nights.6
