june 1st 12.02am ..the forum is suddenly very silent

I’d be impressed if anyone can last until june 1st without breathing

if you started on june 1st then wouldn't you have lasted to june 1st.
june 2nd now thats fucking impressive.

I can resist anything, except for temptation.

I've just completed a no alcohol, nicotine or caffeine April. I wanted to stop all 3 as I knew I'd become dependant on the the others if I didn't

Pros

1) I've saved loads of money. Compare Friday (no booze) to Saturday (booze from midnight onwards) this weekend. £10 v.s. £70

2) Learnt to be social without booze. Didn't need to wait until I'd had a couple of drinks....

3) Learnt that nights still seem to escalate even when not drinking to more fun and debaucherous. Is about the atmosphere of the evening as well as the booze.

3) Quit smoking.

4) Feel healthier - kind of! Caffeine quitting fucked up my gym work a bit though.

5) Had sober sex for first time in years!

6) Hangovers better - get more done. Still do get slight hangover after night out even without booze though due to late night and all the shouting.

7) Tried a lot of lemonade and tomato juice.

8) Learnt how reliant people are on booze - is a bit sad.

Cons

1) Bit boring init.

2) Still felt too reserved on nights out sometimes.

3) People view it as weird. It is a bit.

4) Feel on a slightly different level to others on night out.

5) Fucking knackered at work (no caffeine!!)

6) Have acted a bit simple (think this is no caffeine too)

7) Messed up my sleeping pattern initially (withdrawel?). Kept on waking up at 5 in the morning for some reason. However, later on think my sleeping got better so this is pro as well really.

8) Took up other vices instead such as PUA Forum Arcade games and petty theft.


Overall was a good experience. Would do again, probably minus the caffeine bit next time, but for now - roll on Summer baby. I'm gonna get smashed!

I started this because I was feeling poor, unhealthy and reliant upon substances. Feel I have snubbed some of these issues.

Nicotine - Going to keep off smoking. Doesn't really enhance my life in anyway. Smoked on Saturday night after a month of not and just felt shit.

Alcohol - Definitely going to drink less. Probably just save big smash ups every now and then rather than every weekend. Most nights will just have a few. Means I can do stuff the next day more. If I'm ever using alcohol as a crutch, I will now be more aware and stop. It is just for fun, nothing else.

Caffeine - Probably just have a couple of cups a day rather than the 4 strong ones I'm used to. Should help my sleeping.

Lemonade - going to keep off this. Had enough of this piss to last me a life time!!

Right I'm throwing my hat in the ring.

No drink since Saturday (More than enough then) and 4 days in sober.

I want see what I'm made of.

I'm in too, haven't done aby sober sarging in years and I feel the need to get the shit out of my boody

How's everyone doing?
I'm going great. Its not easy but then nothing worthwhile is easy. Protien shakes are my new beer!

Yeah I fell off the wagon last night.
