Looking for a few accountability partners to join me in a Sober October, an annual tradition, to kick off my healthy diet re-launch and get up and running towards my goal of dropping 25 Lbs

Feel free to join in the fun or just root for me along the way 🥳

    Great idea. I feel so much better and less bloated when I don't drink. I challenge myself to no booze on random weeks. Not sure I could do an entire month especially with our Thanksgiving in there....but what a fun challenge

    A little accountability and support and I’m sure you could do a month or even longer! Small progress is still progress- that’s all that matters👏

    I had a Sober September and let me tell you, it was tough!!! But I'm thinking about a Sober October too! No weight to lose but I like the challenge aspect of making myself suffer a little bit, I guess. Regardless of whether I partipate or not, I'll be happy to cheer you on!!!

    Right on! If there is no struggle, there is no progress 🥳

    This will be my seventh sober October in a row.

    Well, all the other months too. I gave up alcohol

    Good luck!

    Thanks! Awesome accomplishment

    I was doing really well, but the stress of quarantine got me back to the nightly wine routine. I'm down for Sober October.

    I love wine more than anyone, especially during quarantine so we are in this together - but we’ll crush it 😎

    One of my greatest reliefs is that I do not drink alcohol any more and haven't for over 10 years, so not something I have to cope with giving up.

    Not adverse to the odd glass of wine at a function but routinely I got fed up with having a drink meaning I just ended up sitting and watching the telly, feeling a bit sleepy, so got nothing done.

    My life is hugely better for it, my only demons now being chocolate and cheese.
