Sports…I used to go to the bar to watch my favorite team. Where do I go now that I don’t drink and would rather not go to a sports bar?

I feel you man but I sometimes still hit a bar with some friends but instead of grabbing a drink and getting high in a bathroom I just order a Shirley temple and use the bathroom for what it's intended for. Try going to restaurants and calling some friends up to hang at their house or yours to watch the Mets blow it before the playoffs.

I’ve been to the bar and my go to is tonic water with lime. That isn’t the issue, the hang up is being around the drinking. Sitting there sober all night you see the decline happening all around you.
Yeah man I get that.. I don't go often because I know it's not my scene anymore. But I remind myself that's their choice and when it starts to become to much I'm OUT. Hope you find a place to watch some sports. Because it does suck..I actually had to decline a couple games this year with friends at the park because I know how it's going down and I will not put myself that situation. Best to you.
NHL app coming in clutch to listen to the broadcast. Oh no doubt about it being their choice, you do you, that’s how I see it. There is just nothing appealing about a bar anymore. I ended up riding my bike down to the museum and posted up listening to the game by a pond. Haha
That's dope.. yeah I like to do things like that myself. I leave the car in the driveway and hop on my longboard and just cruise through the city. It's such a good time and great excercise. Unless you were talking about a motorcycle lol

Yeah man, Fort Worth is a dope city. It’s small enough that everything isn’t too long of a trek. There are some tough elevation gains in spots, a board would be painful. I’ve considered picking the skate back up but not here.

cool beans dude.. yeah I used to longboard really hard and hit some gnarly hills but got into some accidents, hit by cars, cracked my noodle, broke my collar bone, etc. So the lil one(my daughter I have custody of) who runs my life has banned me from doing that. I just push on flatlands now when I can haha mostly at beaches and through the city because I still enjoy pushing through traffic..
My life as a Falcons fan was unmanageable and full of misery. Thus, I’ve surrendered and accepted that I can simply no longer watch them on Sundays. Life has never better!

My advice is to stay out of the bars too much temptation it’s all about change people places and things. If you’re not real careful soon or later you will drink I was told you don’t go to the movies if there’s nothing playing just as there’s no need to go to the bar if you’re not drinking

I’ve been going to Mets games with other sober friends. And to be honest I have a blast not spending $300 on beer and getting high in the bathroom. I’ve been enjoying the games a lot more since being sober. I was going to go to the rangers game but it was like $500 so I said no. Here and there I still go to sports bars but with pool tables which keeps my mind occupied. Plus I’m there to pay attention to the game not the drinks. It helps to go with other sober friends

I found a spot not too far from where I live (sports bar ugh) BUT it has a little lounge corner away from the bar with a couch to chill. Just watched the Avalanche make it back to the cup finals!

Hahahaha tell me about it. I'm Mets and Jets fan..
Likewise man I love hitting a billiards table. And going to games now is a lot more fun specially since the Mets are actually doing good this year. I was there the year Beltran went down looking. I was sooo pis*ed like they tell you from hitting off a tee never go down looking. Then next year he goes to Cali and did so good for them.
I’m more into baseball more than I ever have been and it’s special and cunningly devoted
