The 2016 Sober Thanksgiving Pact!! **Chime in if you commit to sobriety this holiday week. Whether you're on day 1 or have 20 years, lets hear about it!** This is my favorite holiday of the year for me. I am off work all week, too. Got some last minute garden projects to wrap up, then work on my bike, plus got some DVD's to watch. Drinking will only get in the way of that. This will be my first major holiday sober. If I can get through this I can survive anything! |
Well don't celebrate t-g here in down there land. I will however commit to the spirit of your excellent holiday and sobriety. |
Count me in Steve, I'm thankful for my sobriety and there's lots of other ways to celebrate the holiday. Good luck on your outdoor projects, we got our first snow today here. |

We got a light dusting of snow this morning. This will be my 8th consecutive sober Turkey Day. I used to really ramp up my drinking during the holidays and I was a heavy drinker the rest of the year, so you can imagine what "ramping up" was like! I'm much happier sober:) |
I'm in!, turkey day is great sober, food,more food, football and family!! Throw in a little cat nap in the mix!! Enjoy your day!!! |
Sign me up Steve!! :) |
Sign me up. Day one again. So tired of the hell that is alcoholism. |
I'm with you. |
I'm committed, not even a hesitation. This will be an odd Thanksgiving. My family only lives a couple miles away, but my wife and I will be having Thanksgiving by ourselves...by choice. |
I will be sober and studying all week. |
Well not through choice but my a-disease will not be with family. So instead of getting into a miserable dramatic frenzy of self pity- might actually an thinking to buy some decorations - for me. |
No Thanksgiving here either but I'll be sober throughout the week :) D |
I have gotten drunk every Thanksgiving since 1989. I quit drinking for 4 months in 2013 and actually started up again right before Thanksgiving 2013. Other than those 4 months I have basically been drunk everyday the last 27 years. I quit drinking a month ago and I don't even crave it or miss it at all; I hit rock bottom and I am now on my way up. So this will be my first sober Thanksgiving since 1988. |

Count me in! Sober Turkey Day in my part of PA! |
We have our Thanksgivings north of the 49th in October. That way we get the biggest birds first! ;^> But I'll still join you in that pact. |
Sign me up :-) |
I remember my first sober Thanksgiving, five years ago. I ate like I hadn't since I was a sixteen year old athlete. It's been so nice to go to Thanksgiving without feeling half sick and looking for a drink!Count me in forever! |
I'm in for a sober Thanksgiving. I will be trading my wine calories for some extra stuffing. I could easily skip the entire meal and just eat stuffing and cranberry sauce. I am also one of the lucky ones who has this week off! Let the holiday season begin!!! |
