The End of the World... would you?

OK, just a super-silly question...

Suppose you/we really DID know tomorrow was the end of the world... would you have a drink?

Everything about my recovery screams "no", but I really do wonder. I don't know that I wouldn't. I'd like to say I know I would not, but toasting the apocalypse seems strangely appropriate.

It's been a topic around all week for me.

No - after a lifetime, I finally like my life as it's turned out, and I love who I am - why would I negate all my work and effort now?

I'd rather spend time with the people I love - no contest.

btw it's the 21st here and...nothing happened LOL.

My husband assures me the world wont end
tomorrow. No one will know when, where,
what time, how long we have to live except
the Man upstairs.

There's no way I want to be like that guy
even if the world was to come to an end.

I honestly don't know. If you asked me that question at about a year sober, I would have said "yes".

Absolutely not. I can't imagine wanted to fill my last few hours drunk, when I could be sober. My life nearly ended from drinking - if I go out tomorrow in the Rapture, it won't be from booze! Cool thread though. Did get me thinking...it took me less than 10 seconds to decide.

Great answers

Yes- I'm surprised at the money being generated at the sincere thought of the beginning of the end of the world tomorrow.

I'm pretty certain I'll still be here Sunday, and therefore, sober.

I thought about a Thread like this a while ago (unrelated to any of the end of the World stuff) but thought it would of been shut down.

I don't know. If I was with my family I would want to do whatever I could to protect them, and would want to do that sober.

The scenario I thought of was more like you are going to be executed. So you know later that day, or in a few minutes, you would die. In that case I prob would. Smoke too.

Guess I hope that if it came down to it, I would want to go out as strong as I've been living, so maybe I wouldn't.

Don't know.

Just so you know, Harold Camper was exposed by wikileaks a few months ago, they hacked his credit card and found reservations for May 24th... Out of the country..

To answer the question... NO

I would not because I have come too far; I always thought I might get drunk during a tornado or something I didn’t want to deal with but I am stronger now. I would spend the last day with my family or riding a Harley, but no man knows this day.

Mathew 24:36 "But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only."
