Hey, look at that. I started a sober month myself for June.
I come from a family of addicts, so I know regular breaks are healthy.
Keep it up Mouse! I'll be there with you - hanging with friends and my wife who will be drinking all month.

Good shit man. yeah my family is plagued by alcoholism.
I have always had enough foresight to avoid falling into a crushing addiction. Even with opiates I got out before the boat sunk.
Spent the day sober and felt fine, this will get hard this weekend but I expect to be fine.

I'm 18 days without a drug in my system. Not even caffeine.
I'm waiting till all my court shit is done. And once it is done, I'm smoking the single fattest blunt I have ever rolled. And if the time allows it, I'm gonna eat about 4g of shroomage and a couple hits of acid. Can't wait to have zero tolerance, been smoking almost every single day since the Friday after 9/11/01.

I'm currently taking a long needed break from Heroin, Meth, Crack, etc, etc, basically all "harder" substances, I've been on a good one for the past four years or so, with only a few months in-between use, not much long term sobriety as of late. 
Right now I have sixteen days off of all narcotics and etc, I've been smoking mad bud and socially drinking(neither of which I did much of in the past four years) so, in short, it is nice to switch things up from time to time.
Wish you luck, 100% substance free(caffeine and nicotine included) longest I've gone was three month. 
It can be a challenge, but it is doable. I can make some really gay suggestions on how to socialize sober if you want.

after going from smoking about once every 1-2 weeks lately to smoking every day the last 2 weeks, I smoked for the last time yesterday. I have to pass a drug test some time this summer for work so I have to stop.
however I'm about to go off the deep end with these kpins i got for about the next month probably.

Oh man, haha.
Only reason I would say they are gay is because looking back on it I just face palm on myself  Long story short, I spent a few months in a rehab/sober-home thing and part of the whole deal was I was going to AA/NA meetings twice a-day(I went to upwards of 150 in 60 days).
It was definitely interesting with lots of cool people, and a shit ton of disillusioned nut jobs, I read their book, I don't agree with a lot of their program but it was a worth while experience to be a part of. I meet a few people who've turned out to be good long-term friends sober or not. 
They also have dances, potlucks, bowling, etc, etc.. Always something to do with somebody if the isolation gets to you. S.A meetings are fun too

Qft. I spent a year in rehab and the NA community through being court ordered, if i ever want to eat free donuts/coffee and have no worries of any drugs, thats the spot LOL. Dont think i could ever willingly do it though.

Have any of you ever done something like this purposefully and without mandate?
If I violate my plan I'll post in this thread so yall can berate me. Anyone that feels the need can join up, strength in numbers.
yeah its great. just have a gameplan for everything you would like to do. I really like to cook and eat. I do a lot of that during periods of not drinking.

Indeed, alcohol withdrawal is something I've yet to experience. Hang in there!
