If lame = not being high or drinking, sure. FWIW if that is your perspective you have a long road ahead of you.

Being social and sober is tough sometimes.
I was a miserable prick when I quit, actually still am, but I am sober 20 years this holiday season.

Good on you. Happy New Year!
I had a few drinks on Thanksgiving. I enjoyed myself and felt like crap the next day. I managed toto get through Christmas with only 1 beer and 1 glass of wine with dinner. And totally drink free on NYE.
I wasn’t even really trying to not drink but every time I was presented with the option of a drink I declined because I just didn’t feel like feeling less than 100%.
I’ll probably never totally stop but I don’t think I’ll ever drink like I used to.
One of my favorite songs.

My diet/exercise/drinking went to shit in the last few months. Starting over w/ dry January, hoping to extend it until at least June again like I did last year.

My weekends are much more boring. I swap between ginger and chamomile tea most nights. ☝🏻But this sounds like a great idea. Thanks for the advice!
Look at Mr Judgemental in the get sober thread.
Dude, awesome job. Keep up the great work!

1/22 update:
Been doing good and staying on the wagon. I’d love to say I feel amazing but I have been dealing with some type of illness for the past 4 weeks- cold, stomach bug, ringworm, knee and shoulder strains. Ugh.🙁
Can’t imagine how I’d feel if I was drinking alcohol every night.

What the ? Spending time on the wrestling mat? Cauliflower ear too?

Don't piss off the red guy
You got this!! Remember, nobody ever woke up in the morning and said "I'm so glad I drank last night."

Yes. I am an assistant coach for my son's HS wrestling team. I am literally dealing with blood, sweat and tears for 3 months. Weekends are the most intense with tournaments; 10-12 hours of adrenaline and cortisol dumps. I lose my voice and can barely function come Sundays.
