Is it okay to pause sober October to celebrate a new job?

I hope so be cause I’m about to buy the most expensive bottle of bourbon the liquor store has.

Honestly, I am more excited about moving out of Southern Illinois then the job.

Wait—we’re doing sober October? I guess I didn’t get the memo.

Also, congrats!

I was actually going to make a post about it, but I figured most of Oppo would tell me to go fuck myself.

Doesn't rhyme, I only practice sobriety for things with catchy names that rhyme.

Watcha getting?!

I got an unexpected check in the mail from a previous company I worked for and blew it on a 15 year old bottle of Glennfiddich and some Suntory. Unfortunately the good stuff I have to wait as it’s going with me hunting.

Also when referencing said scotch if you make the joke that she's not old enough to vote but pretty close, make sure the mention of scotch is sent in the same message and isn't a failed to send text. It got weird.

I can never do sober October because my birthday is in October.

I got yelled at by an older bartender lady at a restaurant once for making the same joke about scotch. She said I wasn't original or creative.

I ended up just getting Bullit. In between posting this and getting to the store I remembered I am super cheap.

I was going to make a post about it, I expected most of Oppo to be like “Yaaaaa, nooooooo .”

Thank you.

I’ve found I really like Clyde Mays, and it is middle of the road price-wise.  Think the last bottle I bought was $35.

Thanks.

Next year, I will post about it. I didn’t think that many Oppo’s would want a month o f sobriety.

Given that Oppo regularly has drink-related posts I don’t think you need to give us excuses. Congratulations!

EDIT: Thanks!!

Stop ingesting anything that makes you not sober for the whole month of October, nicotine, booze, non-prescription drugs, most people make an exception for coffee. Just a month of being healthy, some people add in working out too.

I also use it to clean up my eating for the month and do some extra working out. It’s a nice little clean up before the holidays.
