Tonight marks three hours of being alcohol free.

[BikeWriter]

*Slurp!* Oops!

[evlbstrd]

1. I just blew a twelve hour dry spell.

Damn, I'm weak.

[BikeWriter]

4. Whoa, that long, huh? :-)

[evlbstrd]

6. A guy's gotta sleep sometime.

[BikeWriter]

8. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!

[SpiralHawk]

2. "Tonight, I'll be the designated drinker"

C & W song about a guy with a broken heart, as usual.

[BikeWriter]

5. I've been there done that. (Every night for the last five years.)

[StaggerLee]

3. heh

Is that a bottoms up sound I hear?

:hi:

[BikeWriter]

7. Yep, tossing back shots. :-)

[BikeWriter]

9. WTF? I don't get any kudos for my three hours of sobriety?

[Heidi]

10. Congratulations!

That's a really long time. Are you feelin' like a new man yet?

[BikeWriter]

12. Uh, thank you, I went out and got wasted to celebrate!

It seemed like the thing to do...

[Heidi]

14. It's healthy to celebrate even the smallest victories.

:toast:

[BikeWriter]

16. Thank you, Ma'am. While I was out drinking I rejoined the...

American Legion, paid a deserving man's membership into the Fraternal Order of Eagles, and loaned a near homeless couple ten bucks. It was a good night, overall.
:toast:

[Heidi]

18. You're a good egg, BW.

Here, have a hug: :hug:

[BikeWriter]

19. Thank you, Ma'am, and you're a Sweety...

I appreciate that. :hug:

[hfojvt]

21. I guess I have you beat by about 184,000 hours

since I had a sip of beer. :puke: Nasty stuff, tastes almost as bad as a rare steak.

But don't get discouraged. The hours add up all too quickly.

[BikeWriter]

24. Lol! Well, I like beer and my steaks have to be super rare or raw...

So our taste buds are different.

[Floogeldy]

11. Ha ha!

B-)

[BikeWriter]

13. Are you pickin' on me? :-)

[texas1928]

15. Well three hours is three hours.

I have not had a drink in about 2 months.

[BikeWriter]

17. Hey, Pard. If you meant to quit I'll say congratulations! :-)

[texas1928]

20. No did not quit

Just have not really been in the mood to drink

[BikeWriter]

25. It sounds as if you'll never have a drinking problem...

Since you casually go that long between drinks.

[texas1928]

41. Well I never liked losing control of myself.

I have been drunk and never really enjoyed that feeling.

[BikeWriter]

48. I don't much either, and I've done it thousands of times.

[leftofthedial]

22. six months and 10 days

no drinkee

stupid, eh?

[BikeWriter]

26. Nope, not stupid. Smart if drinking is a problem for you.

[leftofthedial]

31. drinking is not particularly a problem for me

I just thought I'd give not drinking a try for a year.

It's seeming very arbitrary about now though . . .

[BikeWriter]

33. Hmm, you're getting thirsty?

[leftofthedial]

34. I thought I'd eat healthy, stop drinking, exercise and lose weight

I'd like to drop about 20 pounds.

I've done all the above and gained 5 pounds!

[BikeWriter]

35. Healthy living agrees with you, huh? Well, maybe you...

can drink, stop exercising, eat anything and lose weight?

[leftofthedial]

36. maybe

I think I need to reevaluate my diet

and possibly increase my intake of liquids . . .

hic!

[BikeWriter]

37. ROFL! We're bad influences on you. :-)

[leftofthedial]

38. hey, I'm mostly Irish

It doesn't take much influencin'!

[BikeWriter]

43. ROFL! I've heard that. My Mom's side of the family had Irish blood...

too. That may explain the many empty bottles around me. :-)

[In_The_Wind]

23. 29 1/2 hours

but who's counting :shrug:

[BikeWriter]

27. ROFLMFAO! :-)

:)

[In_The_Wind]

39. really ...

nothing alcoholic since Friday night .... what am I thinking ... I've got all the fixins in the freezer & refrigerator ...:shrug:

[BikeWriter]

44. You're amazing! I sometimes do that, but I have to have a reason.

[In_The_Wind]

45. me too but TONIGHT

I'm starting on my second >double on the rocks :woohoo: let the fun begin!!!

[BikeWriter]

47. Hey, that sounds good! :-)

[In_The_Wind]

50. a girl's gotta do whatta a girl's gotta do

~ you only go around once so grab all the gusto ya can ... while ya can!

[Ikonoklast]

28. I thought I just read something about

free alcohol. Is this the right line to stand in? I sure could use a free drink.

Hey, what's taking so long?


Man, you are killing my buzz!


I'm leaving.


What a rip!:mad:

[BikeWriter]

29. ROFLOL! That was alcohol free... I see your point! :-)

[Mutley]

30. Alcohol is one of the few things I'm not addicted to.

I have gone months without drinking just because I didn't feel like drinking. On average I probably only drink once or twice a month. My SO is sort of the same way, except he'll go a few months without drinking, then for a month he drinks every day. Then he'll go a few more months without drinking.

[BikeWriter]

32. When my children were small I went for years without drinking...

I just didn't have the time or money to drink.

[skygazer]

40. Wow, that's incredible!

I was doing well until the hubby pointed out that we ought to drink up the couple of dozen airline bottles we have hanging around (he's on a cleaning binge and has decided they look unsightly on the windowsill).

So in the interests of good housekeeping, I am having a vodka and grapefruit juice. :toast:

[BikeWriter]

42. I agree, good housekeeping is important. I don't have time for it though..

I'm too busy drinking.

[sleipnir]

46. Get wasted!

That's the way to live!

Yeah!!!!

[BikeWriter]

49. It always works for me until something better comes along. :-)
