That I am the only non-drunk person on the planet today... I can't help it if all I want is to celebrate a shitty catholic feast day by being wasted out of my mind...
Naa im sober as well. Ive been sober for 13 months and its still hard.... Its hard being at events not drinking. I have had to leave early many times because its just too hard. Have been to a bar i think 3 times since being sober and i have to leave. Its just too much. Once when are are sober with the mentality of refusing to drink, its amazing how so much of society is always drinking, talking about it...man it influences so many things. You are a stronger person for not drinking.
I Can Honestly Say I Haven't Been Drunk For Many Years.... I Still Enjoy My Wine And Champagne, But Nowdays I Don't DRINK, I SIP.... Just Enough To Get Mellow, Then I Sip Enough To Keep It That Way. Only Problem Is I Keep Having To Put My Glass In The Freezer For A Few Minutes Because When You Drink That Slow It Soon Loses It's Chill.... Cheers Glen.
For many of us Glen this is impossible... Mainly because i sip n sip n sip and now im seeing triple. Damn ive been sipping for 3 hours. The force must be strong with you Glen.
Yesterday *saturday* After Lunch I Turned On The Police Scanner,*thousands of hoons in town for speed weekend*, My Computer, And Sipped For About 8 Hours.... Didn't Really Feel Any Different At The End As When I Started. Had A Big Glass Of Water, Then Went To Bed. I Guess My Definition Of A Sip Is Much Smaller Than Yours.... Cheers Glen.
Sipping is the way to do it! But alas, I have nothing to sip. I just finished the last bit of wine I owned when I sipped it with several good friends last week. It was too yummy.
I haven't been drunk for many, many years....thank God. Aside from the fact I got 2 dui's within about 1 1/2 yrs - about 25 or so yrs, ago, I began to experience black-outs, and didn't even have to be drunk - yet. :devil: I know - I really needed a brick to knock some sense into me. Anyway, the black-outs and nasty hang-overs finally were enough for me, period. Also: That (the black-outs) I guess, is when I knew my son needed to have at least one sober and decent parent...since it surely would not be his father. God rest his daddy's soul, he died from alcoholism (massive internal bleed-out) when he was 42 yrs. old. So yeah, please, please stay sober. Smoke weed. How/why it is legal to drink and really kill yourself becoming an alcoholic but marijuana remains the BAD DRUG, that can wreck your life with legal and job problems...it's just damn unreal.
i just worked 18 hours, but i did get to sit at a DUI checkpoint when i was trying to finally get home.
I went to a paddys day poetry slam (I performed on gong), I had to take a couple of polite sips of this dudes homemade elderberry wine... I confess it was pretty tasty! I don't like the buzz of alcohol at all
