The "six months of sobriety" beer.
Wait...
Hey I’m just about there! 10-15 drinks every night for so many years. Stopped almost six months ago! I’m gonna have some Champaign for a very special event in my life, and a few beers in the coming months because I have ONE event I am GOING to be hardcore trashed at… the furry con my partner and I go to. Then it’s back to sober for a good while!
Medical stuff tho, if splitting a bottle of Champaign doesn’t treat me well, I’ll have to nix all the other drinking plans and just do the other substances I do at furry con without drinking D: New years sober was totally easy, my wedding anniversary super easy, very few times in the past half year have I been even sort of tempted. But I’m determined to get just skronked at our furry con.
Nice. Eventually you realize you never needed it in the first place and wonder why you ever thought you did.
Don't be so sure... (source: someone who's quit drinking several times)
"Quitting's easy. I do it all the time!" It's staying quit that's the challenge, at least until you learn to appreciate sobriety. One sip can turn into a binge. One night of drinking can lead to a week or a month or a year of being wasted. Our brains are wired to want "more".
This is just me, but I just wouldn't man. I drank for years and then quit completely about 6 years ago. To me it wouldn't be worth the risk of falling back into my old ways. I know me and even if it was fine just this once, that would quickly turn into "it was fine last time, so it'll be fine again" and then just creep back up on me. Sure, sometimes I still fancy a beer (or maybe I just still have cravings), but being sober all the time is really not that bad. It's pretty sweet actually.
