I've been sober since May 4th, so far so good. I'm trying to make it the rest of the year.

Good stuff, congrats
Congrats!!!
we're glad to have you here!
It may be a rough night tonight. But it's time. Today I will not drink
Good on you man! First priority stay safe as coming off if you are a heavy drinker can be dangerous. But we are here for you
I am not drinking with you today!
I don’t know why, but I love seeing you here in the comments as well. Feels like one of those days in elementary school where a guest lecturer would come in and teach the class while the teacher sat in a desk with the kids, lol. Hope you have an awesome day!
Thank you! I usually sit in the back of the room too. 🙃
Normally I’m a black coffee kind of guy, but tomorrow/today imma try one of my wife’s crazy teas instead of drinking. I’ll report back how it goes
When I was still drinking, I never understood people drinking tea. Now I really enjoy it. We just try different flavours green tea/herbal tea/black tea/etc from: https://www.tleaft.co.nz/ They ship world wide but I guess there is something in your area too.
I love a good herbal tea. I drink coffee in the mornings and switch to herbal tea in the afternoon.
What’s your fav? I’ll let my wife know so she can add it to her list. I might go for some Yorkshire gold in the morning and a crazy herbal for the evening, like vanilla hibiscus mango or something, I dunno what she even has. lol
I like a liquorice and mint for after dinner. I'm not a fan of straight mint but I do like the addition of liquorice.
Bird and Blend do loads of different ones so I'm trying out different ones from them at the moment, I love their Cherry Cola Bottles and Bears Like Marmalade.
Kombucha is my favorite way to drink tea. Most of them around here don't contain alcohol either.
It seems to help as well, maybe give that a shot next?
I do love kombucha, good call! It’s been a minute since I’ve gotten some. Great for the recovering gut biome after a bender as well
I am not drinking with you all today!
