Do yoga and drink...
Local group is now doing yoga classes at the brewery - with beer specials afterward.
If this isn't the very epitome of how booze-centric our western society has become I don't know what is.
Your body is a temple.... Find your center... Then poison it.
So glad to be sober

I agree. I'm a runner and I see the races with beer and even participated in a Marathon where the last mile was Margaritaville and they had small Margaritas! The last thing I wanted to do after running 25 miles was drink booze and the guy in front of me who did-ended up collapsing and had to be carried off on a stretcher. Oh to be so close to finishing (the last .5 mile was in Lambeu field!) and that be the cause-no thank you.
I am incredibly grateful today that I no longer have to live in fear of my next drink--there isn't going to be one!

It is constantly drilled into us all through our adult lift that you can not be happy without alcohol....going bowling...have a drink with it.....going to the christmas market....beer tent in the cold.....run a race.....free novelty beer at the end of it.
During my last sober spell i used to go to club races on a sunday morning running cross country etc and everyone would go straight from the race to the nearest local pub and start drinking around 12pm and spend the whole day in the pub. Back then I didn't partake......then I did......then i just stopped running and got smashed at home on a Sunday afternoon.

A guy I used to date always said he belonged to a drinking club with a running problem.
I haven't thought about him in years. I know the amount of alcohol I consumed increased a ton when I started hanging out with the guy.

You gave me my first genuine smile of the day....sounds very much like my old club, all running social events based around booze......odd for a bunch of people who were so health conscious in every other way.
I'm guilty of all of it too.
A few years back a friend and I went on weekly 'beer runs'; we'd do a 20-miler and end it at the pub for several pitchers of beer (each) and shoot pool in our running gear.
So glad that my runs today end with a green protein smoothie.

The big wine walk is coming up around here. You even get a little sling to hang around your neck to hold your wine glass stable while you walk. Just craziness. . .and, yes, I used to participate. Oy. I really do love my life now-a-days and realize how driven my life was back then. The justification to drink were everywhere. "I can't have a problem bc I just ran a 1/2 marathon so I deserve a _______" Insane. My body is still healing from the stress drinking had on me and my gut health was trashed from all that sugar. Stopping drinking was hard. Getting my body healed has taken longer, but I'm doing GREAT!!! The idea of alcohol just makes me cringe and the smell makes me wanna puke.
