sobriety

My everyday bourbon was Bulleit. I'm pretty sure I tried the Woodford, but I can't specifically remember the experience after 7 years.

@sorillo Woodford Reserve dbl oaked?

My last drink was about 7 years ago, I quit because it aggravated some health issues. Which is just as well, I'd often quit for a year or so, without any problem. I do miss sipping a good bourbon though.

As to how others saw it, I've never had any problems there, I actually had more problems with not joining in with smoking weed with everyone else. The problems were limited to a conversation that went "wanna smoke a bowl?", "no thank you", "are you SURE?", "yep, I'm sure", "okay".

Back in the 80s and earlier though, people would freak out if I didn't join in, paranoia that I might be a narc. Things have changed since then.

Those types of vice are of secondary interest to most on here.

Wife doesn't drink. Shes never had a problem at parties or private meetings. Nobody ever cares

I rarely drink and haven't used drugs since I was 14 or 15. I've never mentioned it and no one else has either. I mean, good for you, but at worst you might need to refuse the offer twice.

Good for you.. dont worry about what you are drinking when meeting.. usually one of us out of 3 is drinking water or soda.. its no ones business and make the swinging journey what YOU want not others.. Enjoy

We have met all sorts of singles and couples for one reason or another didnt drink .. good for them!

From swingers well over 25 years!

Not preachy at all. I put it in the profile to be open that if we end up meeting that ill be hitting club soda….

Thanks for the response.

I've known people who have either stopped drinking entirely or severely curtailed it.

If you felt like you should stop, choose to do so, and stuck with it - good for you.

To hell with anyone who gives you a hard time about it, provided that you aren't being preachy to others.

is anyone on here sober? meaning they don't use drugs or alcohol?

I found sobriety almost ten years ago...

before that in the swinging life i lived i used a good bit of alcohol and other substances..I find now or should i say i've run into a few people who seem to have concerns..has anyone run into this?
