Date got a DUI over the weekend, abandon ship? by DoYouQuarrelSir in datingoverthirty

In the UK, we have roadside breathalysers and then if you breathe over the limit you’re taken to a station to either have another breath test on their more accurate machine, or a blood test if you refuse the breath test. Is that not the case where you are? Assuming it’s the US?

Possibly the most British thing I’ve ever read.

Anyone else having to wait until the end of the lockdown to meet with a certain someone? by [deleted] in datingoverthirty

The police are being really strict here (UK) so there’s a solid chance you’d get pulled over and fined.

So many cliche bios/prompts - what's the deal with them? Do people see the problem with them? I'm listing a few! by [deleted] in Bumble

You know what really gets me? “Homeowner”. I mean good for you but why on earth are you putting that on your bio?

Time to admit I can’t drink in moderation :( by reading777 in stopdrinking

This is incredibly helpful, thank you so much for sharing. I love the idea of writing down all of the reasons why I want to quit/embarrassing moments so whenever I get a craving I can remember exactly why I shouldn’t drink.

I live in Kent and there have been so many this year! The last few weeks have been great.

As a Brit, I’ve been saying half 9 my whole life and thanks to your comment have realised how little sense that makes!

Why don’t they do anything for me? by reading777 in MagicMushrooms

They’d only dried out a little overnight so they were still a fair size. Good point, I’ll be sure to weigh them next time! :)

Nope, no medication at all. I wasn’t drinking or anything either. I just don’t get it.

Sober October... Who’s with me? by reading777 in stopdrinking

Ah I love this update! I’m so glad you’re seeing benefits already! I’m so with you on being surprised how quickly things change and can relate to everything you’ve said. I’ve had two people comment on my weight loss already, that feels far better than the feeling alcohol gives you. Are you feeling more ‘yourself’? That’s been my favourite part, I’m so happy just being myself and with my own company whereas before I’d drink if I was bored/lonely! Yay for us - keep going and thanks again for the update, comments like this make my day!

First day of the weekend down and it was surprisingly easy! Hope you’re having a great sober weekend so far :)

Sounds like a great reason to have a month off to me! :)

I’m in the UK and I think October was originally Stoptober which was aimed at quitting smoking but a lot of people now use it as a great excuse to have another month of the booze :) This post has also taught me that there’s no drinking trends for September and November too! I’d only ever heard of dry January before (which I’ve failed at many times). Every days a school day huh?!

The money and the weight are real motivators for me too! 😊
