    well this is fucking boring. 
    I've actually been doing it as well. It's been quite a bitch to fall asleep, as I'm used to heavy indica before bed. Other than that, not too bad. I don't think I have the desire to try no nut November...
    i'm used to getting my Crown on, fridays and sometimes saturdays. so this is unchartered territory. i was the first one in bed last night. 
    Starting no nut November early, eh?

    "getting my Crown on" means what I think it means, right? :grin:
    haha. crown royal.

    I wish I had such a fun life that I drank so much that I needed a Sober October.

    it really is irrelevant how much one drinks. you can have one beer a week and still do it.

    Yeah, I only drink socially so it's not a big deal for me. But I smoke/eat weed everyday these days. If anything it will be nice to reset my tolerance.

    don't you think resetting your tolerance would take longer than a month?

    When I came home from the hospital after a week, my tolerance had lowered considerably. Happened every time, actually. And I use a lot of THC daily. 

    SC, drinking (or even smoking) a fuckton doesn’t necessarily equate to a great or fun life.

    interesting. i would have thought it would take a lot longer than that.

    Nah, I mean it will never be like the first time again, but anytime I've taken a break I get too high for public when I spark back up.

    Great point. In fact, being completely sober is a good time to work on things you have trouble with. I find great comfort in being able to enjoy things without the aid of substances. If we're able to be objective and honest with ourselves, it's a good way to evaluate what really does bring us joy in our lives. Every time I've abstained for awhile, I found myself having thoughts and feelings I'd been neglecting. For me it's good for the soul.

    Not to derail, but when I quit alcohol, I wondered how the hell I would ever enjoy anything again.

    Man, was I wrong.

    Its  all state of mind. As the song goes.
    I stopped for 7 months and pot as well for 3 months. 
    I can now take or leave a drink.  I no longer  care for it and see it as a poison.
    Pot i know its dangerous  for me and i now have a problem with that. 
    Sober is a daily choice. Some are strong some are not.  But we all have that choice right  now.
    Good vibes to all here and may you achieve  your  goals.
