***Official 2013 90 Day Sobriety Challenge***

[Dayze]

It's that time again. I know a few years back, this was a popular thread & challenge.

I figured the day after the Super Bowl would be a good start date, to allow us to dry out / detox etc. I managed to complete the challenge and then some the last time we did this, so hopefully I'll have the same results this go-round.

Good luck all, and God Speed. :thumb:

[Rasputin]

**shew** at least it's not a don't fap for 90 days thread.

I'm out. if so.

[Rasputin]

This may want to get bump (not bump the poster) for the people waking up from hangovers today.

Yeah, this was my date as well.

I lost weight pretty easy at 28 and 34 but at 37 I'm thinking there'll be some angry moments...

when I did that last one, I felt great at the end. I combined that with the Couch to 5 K jogging program and lost I think around 20lbs.

at the end I had 2 or 3 beers with some friends, I I had a healthy buzz lol.

I drink way to much beer; and getting way too fat in doing so. not to mention the $.

I'll drink to that!

:toast:

[rageeumr]

I'd love to do it. I love running and doing triathlons, and I find alcohol can get in the way of my training sometimes.

That said, I'm going snowboarding in a couple of weeks, and there's no way I'm going to give up the chance to try a boatload of local Colorado brews.

[Chief Gump]

I'm in.

[AndChiefs]

Does it count if I've already been sober the last 90 days?

[Buck]

I'm in...already on day 35 though...and I plan on doing 365.

[Nzoner]

I'm just hoping to make it a week.

[bevischief]

I hoping to last till I get home.

[Ceej]

I planned on doing this after my birthday in March until my trip to Vegas in September.

If you would like to postpone until then I would be all in.

[Dayze]

nice.

[PaulAllen]

I already lost

[houstonwhodat]

I'm already drinking.

No you need to do this at the start of Lent, the day after Mardi Gras.

Mardi Gras - 2/12/13
Lent - 2/13/12

[Graystoke]

This would be tough. I mean I don't consider myself an Alcoholic, but boy, to go 90 days without a beer or whiskey.
Wishing you all luck...I am out.

[Richard_Cuckold]

Good for you guys.

In my case there is no way in hell I could even go a week without drinking

[TLO]

I'm in.

[Pablo]

I'm considering taking until St. Patricks Day off. Don't know how well I'll do.

[GloryDayz]

Ummmm, yeah, no!

I'm sure until Obamacare and unemployment covers me I'm going to drink (heavily)!

[Dayze]

a few years ago when I did this, the first weekend was the most difficult it seemed; and the occasional"had a horrible day at work; I could use a beer" was hard.

I usually drink beer while playing video games, so that association will be difficult to break. I might use any money saved to maybe start building a game rig that will be used for Flight Simulator only.

Seems like you could do that for pretty cheap.

[Dayze]

I think so too. or, at least I hope it doesn't cost an arm and a leg. In my limited research, it looks like the ideal speed would be about3.6Mhz, and 4GB+ of RAM.

of course, I don't know jack when it comes to that level of computer detail.
I just want something that is dedicated to FSX, that won't lock up, or be jerky etc.

I'm also going to get it set up using the plans on here possibly:

[Mr. Flopnuts]

Just in the last couple of years have I started drinking. And lately it's been heavy. I joined this 1 day late, but I'm in. We'll see if I can make it. LOL

Good mental exercise here.

[Dayze]

nice!
I went to a mexican restaurant last night and refrained from the large Dos Equis Amber they had on draw; 24oz for $4. and a few nights this week I REALLY wanted a beer after some rough days at work.

I had been drinking a ton during football season; a TON. but, I already feel a little better. Last time I did it, the first week was a bitch, but got progressively better after I started dis-associating my recreation (video games, movies, guitar etc) activities with having a beer.

This is my 3rd day and I don't ever go crazy over it. Sometimes sleeping can be a bitch though. I quit smoking weed so I'll be interested to see how it plays out.

You are dead to me.

DEAD!:cuss:

[Ceej]

I think in 2011 when I went nearly 7 months without a drink. I felt great - both physically and mentally.

Keep it up, Dayze.

I will be doing the same thing at the end of March.

[Dayze]

You are dead to me.

DEAD!:cuss:

LMAO
I know dude. A tall Dos Equix AMber draw is one of my top 3-5 draw beers.

It was rough.

[CHENZ A!]

I would never do this to myself. Good luck though.

[Dayze]

I was at the point where I could pound an 18 pack on a Saturday night.

having a high tolerance is expensive.

[Frosty]

This. I haven't had a drink in five years (and that was just a gluten-free beer to see if it was any good - it wasn't) so this should be a snap. :D

You don't say...

[tooge]

I get doing this if you have a real drinking problem. If not, I don't see the point. It's like giving up anything else you like, why? I was getting bad about drinking rum on weekends, so I quit drinking rum on weekends and now I just enjoy a couple of good craft beers on the weekend. Good luck to you guys that are doing this, but I'm not giving up drinking 6 or 7 good beers on a weekend. I enjoy it too much.

[Dayze]

my thing too is I also do it so sort of start over so to speak.
usually I lose weight, get a bit more pep in my step etc.
