i cant remember the last time i was sober this long, any precautions i should take?
 
Don't overdo it and don't drive.
You should be fine man, I wouldn't worry.

Just take it easy.
 
Exactly, just take it easy. Its really easy to rage out after being sober for that long. kudos to you man. And be safe.
 
Be cautious of the possibility that you will have a proper relapse and it won't just be "this one time".
I was sober for almost 6 months, then I said I'd have "a few drinks" around the time of my birthday, that was almost two months ago and I've been drinking solidly again ever since.
Every time I relapse it becomes MUCH harder to get sober again.
 
i should of been more specific, i been sober from all drugs. alcohols always been my least favorite but im choosing alcohol becuause imo its one of the "softer drugs". my main drug of choice was cannabis(yes i was addicted to cannabis) also a lot of party stuff MDMA, ketamine lsd etc....long story short i got so bad i had to see a psychologist about my mental disorders caused from drugs, I'm better now and just wanted some advice on staying safe
 
to be completely honest its about a girl and just girls in general. i havent been with a girl since my sobriety started and i know my confidence back in the day came from being high. also my problem came from me doing drugs to escape my problems, im not drinking to escape..i just want to have fun, get my confidence back and get some ladies
 
Hypothetically I totally understand. Realistically, that's a bullshit excuse to rationalize further alcohol abuse. If you need to drink with this girl tomorrow, youll find another situation where you'll need to drink again.

Honestly your chances are so much better not drinking.
 
your concerns are valid but its what im choosing to do, i actually took a few shots earlier here at home just to see how i would react and it went well
 
Go for it man, some people have better self control than others. I have been sober for months now, which is my only real sober time in the past 4 years . And i can enjoy alcohol when i want, drank a few times these past few months and everything went fine... no relapses on the drugs i like. Just don't go over board because the hang over will be pretty rough now that you have a fresh brain, have fun!
 
All I can say is if you need to ask this question or post this thread then you already know deep down inside that this is a bad idea. Just remember being sober isn't a bad thing and your body thanks you dearly. However it is your life but please take it easy.
 
taking any drug is a gamble with your life but that shouldn't stop us from living...regardless thank you guys for your input ill let u know how things go with the drinking and girl tomorrow
 
If I were you, I would just be really wary of this leading to you using other drugs again. I've seen it happen with COUNTLESS other people. Don't fall in to the trap of thinking that just because alcohol wasn't your drug of choice/addiction before, means that it won't lead to the same patterns of behaviour again.

Just a word of caution, that's all. Perhaps let a close friend or family member know that you're having a couple of drinks tonight, so that IF on the off chance that shit hits the fan and you relapse, at least someone will know what's up and will be there to support you.

Good luck with the date, and have fun! :)

The only precaution you should take is to not drink alcohol. Were you sober 1 year because you were an alcoholic? If so, you should not do it.

^this this and this!!! awesome post... do you have a sponsor? how did u stay sober, likewith AA/NA, rehab outpatient/inpatient or just pure will power and desire?

calll friends and ffamilly member and anyone you trust. talk to them, tell you want to drink, and way the options, look back and make a list of all the positives of being sober and all the positives being high. then make another list of all the negative aspects of being sober, and negative parts of being high.

don;t just rush and impulsively drink. weigh your options please, and sit down and think about where it will get you! no one can tell you not to drink, and im not here to tell you not to drink. im just here to help you make an intellectual decision based on the good and bads of each.

please please please please think hard and long about drinking, dont go out on a whim and drink, that would be completely stupid, but it is understandable because your brain is custom to having alcohol present ,.
