SOBER OCTOBER
#18910156 - 09/30/13 06:59 AM (10 years, 3 months ago) |
|

Friend came up with this idea and I thought to give it a shot... so here we are extending the invitation.
Each on their own, no rules, no guidelines.
Little as just buzz or full blown toxins, your saying.
For those willing to give it a shot, you may refer back to the thread for support, 30 days can be a long time for some of us.
Good Luck! and Happy Detox!

Is not a good idea to combine 8ft long stilts and buzz... but you got a point there tho! We might have to call it a day shorter

do you work at a haunted house on Halloween? I did a few years back and I was a scary tree! I had to wear 8' tall stilts and I definatly wasn't sober I did keep have to calling for a runner to help come pick me up when I fell over!! hahaha
at any rate if I was gonna pick a month to be sober I'd do January. nothing special happens in january!!

No I don't get pay for that... I probably should LOL!
We walk both of the main parades here and we have a blast doing it so... Becoming a bit of a tradition now.
Halloween is by far my favorite holiday.

Thanks man! Your list is impressive, my friend recently became aware of a gluten allergy causing him health problems. That stuff is an awfully inconvenient thing to avoid!

The worst!... At one point we thought that wheat was the healthy way to go... and now we got all this gluten in-deficiency because of it.
Thing is on EVERYTHING so unless you are eating leafy greens all day every day you are not safe of the damages of gluten. =(

I know, its terrible! Just having him over as a party guest to my house is a mission and a half finding food, snacks, beverages and condiments for one day! I could not imagine the difficulties in doing that every day. Are you also allergic or just health-conscious?

I think a lot of people get placebo effect gluten allergies. It's funny because when I lived in a hippie town, about half the people I met claimed to have gluten problems. Where I live now, I haven't met a single one. It's kinda a fashionable dietary thing right now. Not to say the celiac's isn't a real disease because it is, but all these hippies that are all like "gluten is evil" are just falling for another fad.

September was my mostly sober month.
Hmmm...I'll join you.
Starting a new job so, a sober october cut a day short for halloween ofc, is likely what some would call a 'smart' decision?
Been working on that part of myself, decision making and what not. 
im down. count me in!

How bizarre.. me and my friends are all neck deep in ketamine, we went camping on Saturday and whilst sat around the fire and talking, we decided the exact same thing.
We've got a big group of us.. like 20 strong, so we're all gonna put money into a pot as an incentive.. if noone breaks we all get our money back..if someone fails it's lost to the pot. Last ones standing split the pot.
It's gonna be hard, but needs to happen before something really bad happens.

@JamesSpawned: I've notice the changes in my body with it and with out it and I like how my body feels without it. I have an extremely clean diet so it won't be so difficult but there is still plenty of items that I consume that contain gluten of some form, like beer.
@nicechrisman: I can see where you come from when you say is a fad, lately this whole go green has gotten media pretty good. It's quite overwhelming but at the same time, fad or not, I'm glad there is some sort of awareness, people are getting curious and that's a good thing.
Truth is we don't need gluten to survive so if is making more harm than help why not give it a shot?

I might consider joining you in abstaining from alcohol for the month (until the 31 anyways), but I'll be cactusing and ganjaing it up at this fest in a couple weeks.

Yeah.. Coeliac disease is most definitely real.. I've got it. If I ate a piece of bread I'd be able to shit through the eye of a needle (and thats just the beginning)..
Once you get used to the dietary restrictions.. it's not that bad, as diets go, and it forces me to conscious of what I actually eat. I was diagnosed 10 years ago or so.

HOLY! I think the hardest part will be to stick to my practice, even thought my family doesn't really support my efforts. It's allot easier when all the parties are in the same page =P
I was diagnosed with it when I was 2 but they never did anything about it, so I am actually very curious to see how my body reacts to the change.
