Hey @RubyRed427, in 1998 I created an educational publishing company and in 1999 quit teaching to run it full time. It grew so big I sold it to an investor in 2006 and continued on as VP product development until 2018. I’m just sharing this to say that if I can help in any way, holler.8

Who is going to be happy to not have a hangover on January 1?! This girl right here. Let's kick 2020 out the door and hope for a much better, healthy, happier and sober 2021!6

Every famous person that reveals a story like this, surely helps many many others.

Yes yes yes- I will need some advice. I do not have a business mind; I'm creative but not in business. I will message you my phone number and we can talk sometime. Thank you!2 -
Think the Alcohol and Sugar lobbyists might be sleeping with our wonderful U.S. government? https://www.wsj.com/articles/new-u-s-dietary-guidelines-reject-recommendation-to-cut-sugar-alcohol-intake-11609254000
Two of the most addictive and detrimental substances on the planet. I have no words for this. Yes, I do. Disgust.
Thank you for the sober school tips. I'll let you know what I decide and how it goes. Funny, I just saw Anthony's post before coming over here--love that man.
@RubyRed427 That's wonderful you're inspired! I'm hoping that I can kick *something* into high gear while not drinking. Memoir, business idea, becoming the next Chess Queen. I think this is where patience meets my fav slogan of all time--"Just Do It." So bravo to you for jumping in and be fearless! I'm full of marketing ideas (and cheesy slogans), so hit me up if you ever want to brainstorm.
I'd personally rather be posting on here the intentional things I'm doing (because I'm not letting alcohol get in the way), than the # days I've gone without drinking. Because *that's* the ultimate goal.
Cheers to a Hangover-Free New Year!4 -
@mainelylisa OMG that is disgusting! That article and the refusal to limit alcohol is definitely lobby based.
The lobby groups are the most powerful especially tobacco and alcohol groups.
I once read an article that the American Health Association will sell their logo to food companies for a good price. The example being on a box of Frosted Flakes , the company purchased the "healthy heart label".
We know that Frosted Flakes cereal offers no nutritional value and they were able to put the National Heart Association label on their box!!

Hope everyone has a Happy New Year. Hopefully we have a better year.
Yup would love to sip some champagne but I'll kill it and feel like death Friday. So not going to happen. Not worth the short lived hurrah.

Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve and Christmas were all alcohol free celebrations for me this year and today marks 68 straight days. I'm looking forward to the next 365 with a clear focus, a clean heart, and a sheer will to do and be better!10

I'm listening to Father Martin speak on Youtube, and he says with one swallow the alcoholic no matter how many years sober is catapulted back into the hell from which he came in the first place. There is instant return to a life of living a lie......" *I'm not saying your an alcoholic Aroze, but the words are wise.
So, sounds like me and you will be sober. I bought sparkling cider in the juice aisle. Cheers!
Best wishes to you for a happy new year!6 -

Happy new year to my strong sober friends! We will wake up so proud of ourselves.
Let’s do Dry January together too!7 -
Happy New Year!! I got my husband to commit to dry January as well as my friend who now lives in Germany. She is a big wine drinker and we never got together without wine involved when she lived here. I am so happy she is doing this because her organs definitely need a break. I wish us all health, happiness, a vaccine in the arm, and a sober 2021!6
