    OCTOBER CHALLENGE...

    Hi All,

    I am looking for people who for whatever reason (be it that you are new and want to do an inital 30 days, or you are like me and have been modding/occasional drinking for a while and want to do another 30 days, just because it is a good idea, or you are AF anyway...doesnt matter) want to acheive a period of 30 days AF to join me to do this.

    I think it is nice to have a group or a buddy or whatever to work with on these longer periods of AF time (it maybe that this resonates more with the modders, I am not sure).

    Anyway, no more to add at present, just looking for buddies for this challenge, if anyone wants to join me...I will actually be personally starting on 27th september and finishing 30th October. This just suits my calendar, but its basically an OCTOBER challenge.

    Love Moo

            I'll join you too, I think probably starting 9/28, but it depends if I have meds for my panic attacks and when I don't have panic attacks then I want to go AF with you.

                  Moo and all others,

                  I would like to join you. Managed several AF months over the 2008/09 period but caved in over our (southern hemisphere) winter. Right now I dont feel at all confident about my ability to become AF again ... but i want to aspire to it !!

                  Currently trying to manage at least 4 AF days a week .. this is not about moderating but about believing in my ability to go more than 2 days in a row ... If I can do that for the rest of September, then I might have enough faith in myself to try for October.

                    HI Mame

                    Keep posting here and let us know how it is going in september...I hope you will give october a try with us. The more of us that are here the more support we can give each other....its always a try rather than a guarentee...so jump on board and be part of our group.

                      SUGGESTION

                      I have always found it good to plan. It works really well for me and helps to prevent failure. Knowing triggers and having ways to deal with them etc. So I was wondering whether you all work in a similar way and what your thoughts are. For me I tend to save drinking/modding for special occasion or when we are in company. I dont generally drink at home at all. So for me I will go through my October calendar and see whether there are any events or times that might be harder than others to be AF and try to think of ways to avoid problems......

                        I'm in. I have been sober for over 10 weeks now, and it feels so good.

                            I'm bumping this thread up as I dont want it to die or waste away!

                            I'm still working towards it ..... every day of September I gain a little more control and remind myself of how much pleasure I had in being AF! October beckons and remember that lots of us planned to start before that!

                              Please count me in. I am struggling to get significant times of sobriety together. I have committed to AF September and messed up on Wednesday but am right back to my plan. I have to do this .... it is do or die for me. I love the idea of planning for days that will be filled with temptation. Last Halloween I handed out candy and drank wine. How pathetic. I will make sure to be sober this holiday. Just want to let everyone know that I appreciate their input...I get something to help me from everyone at some point and I want to return the favor. AF Octoberfest for us!!!
