Class of March 2020 Part One
Hi Pelagic, I am originally from the Lehigh Valley and have read about all the State Stores and Bars closing. Been sober now over 2.5 weeks so it wouldn’t faze me now. I read a story of one women buying 14 bottles of Tito’s, and another couple buying 2 cases of the cheap stuff. Thank god that wasn’t me because those purchases wreak of desperation. That or they are trying to make a small profit, which I doubt.
Otter, glad you got rid of the temptation. I could have 1000 bottles of wine at home and not be tempted. But one bottle of vodka would be 1000 times more tempting.

Told my wife yesterday that if you did bike racing to animals you'd be arrested. Also that I absolutely loved it. Maybe those horses love to run a derby after all.
So, I've decided to drag out my old racing bikes and make a sober go of it. Frankly, they are a little scary. My favorite is what we called a crit bike, a criterium bike. Short and steep as heck. Brutal. I almost had it up on wheels last year, but never got the tires on it. Too drunk. It might have gears I can handle now, not sure. If I can still ride I'll buy a cozy little carbon fiber bike, something soft and cozy. These new bikes have so many gears you could climb the side of a building with them.
Sorry again for the digression. I really would love to live again. Yours in sobriety.
Hi Be123, Otter, Bilr, FF, WL, BillyMac, RAL, BeCat, Tink, Pelagic, Reid, Suze, Dee and hi to anyone I missed
It’s great to have everyone here I’ve had lots of day 1s and I agree, I don’t want any more. I can’t moderate, I just end up drinking heaps again no matter how hard I try to control it. I can’t control it, it controlled me. No more. Let’s fight the AV with everything we’ve got.
I’ve also drunk stuff I really don’t like when I ran out of wine in the past (neat spirits that I don’t like at all, yuk) but never Listerine. I don’t think that is a good idea at all. Actually drinking fullstop is not a good idea.
Lets stay the course together, sober. Together we are stronger
