    Planning a 30 day af who wants to join me?

    I have to admit the last 30 day af didn't go as planned and plus I am feeling like I need a 30 day af period again so I am planning a 30 day af and then when the thirty days is up to see if I want to continue to mod or switch to abstaining.

    Day 1 will start the 21st of this month and this time I will complete it or I will go af.
    I quit drinking on March 8, 2020. Taking it One Day At A Time and no more taking my quit for granted.

    Also doing it for me. I got to stay sober for me.

    Just consecrate on today and do what you can to remain sober for today and worry about staying sober tomorrow, tomorrow.

        I'm with CS--I might--but if I don't I'm sure someone will join you--after all, this is a site for people getting control of their alcohol consumption. I wish you success in that goal. xo

        Start by doing what's necessary, then what's possible and suddenly you are doing the impossible.

          I can see why it may not be easy to join a modder like me on a 30 day. When I first started to mod I swore to myself that one day I will quit and I feel that this 30 day af could be the one to give me the courage to quit al for good. And C I will have to take you up on your offer.

            I'll join you. I first really tried quitting drinking about 8 months ago and I was finally 30 days AF on May 14th. The periods before that, I would go maybe two weeks (or sometimes not that long) and slip on a night of binging. But I think I'm ready to go another 30 days. I will say this too, I notice my body feeling better than I ever thought it would and my sleep has improved dramatically. I've been regularly taking vitamins/supplements as well.

            I remember always saying to myself after several days or a couple weeks without alcohol "well, it's out of my system and I still don't feel very good, so it's really not the alcohol!" but I believe now that I never truly gave myself a chance to start feeling well without alcohol. I'm more and more ready to do that now. I'm not out of the woods by a long-shot is what I need to tell myself every now and then when I think it might be okay to have "a drink or two", because my drink or two usually turns out to be 10-12. Maybe with kudzu or a prescription med I might be able to moderate, but I'm more concerned with being completely AF right now. We'll see though.

            Congrats and good luck on your continuing journey Alison. Here's to a healthier 30 days ahead. If we do slip, oh well, it's not the end of the world I guess - us having an actual plan in place speaks volumes and matters too.

                I'll join you. I have been bragging on here that I have it all under control but every weekend we are with heavy drinkers and I find myself joining in; not to the point of getting a hangover but continuously drinking throughout the evening. Then during the week we have our bottle with dinner and it all adds up to being a bit much.

                My usual excuse for not following through the thirty days AF is that I can just slow down to a glass of wine at dinner and leave it at that but in all honesty, it's me that opens that occasional second bottle and it's me who doesn't complete more than six AF days just because I cave in to temptation.

                My plan this morning was to start a AF thread to monitor my progress but you beat me to it. Glad to join you and will take my L-Glut, All-One, exercise and try my best.

                I leave for the west coast of Canada and the U.S. for a vacation on June 14th so from now until then is only 28 days but that's what I am committing to for now.

                Thanks for starting this thread.

                  I will join you. In April I was starting to get quite a few sober days behind me, and then we went on holiday to Morocco. I thought I wouldn't have a problem abstaining as it is a Muslim country. Anyway, what was suppose to be my first sober holiday was not. It wasn't excessive drinking, but consistent. A bottle of wine with my husband most nights. Since we have been back I drink almost every night, a bottle on my own. I should be so much better than this. I just hate what I am sinking into.

                  So off we go, 30 days without poisoning ourselves! Can't wait to get this filth out of my system!

                      I would love to join in on the fun but must admit that I for sure cannot make it to the party until Mon. the 23rd. I am being a laggard I know but also know I need to make a commitment and draw a line in the sand. Best to everyone and hopefully I will only be 2 days behind. I am going to form a plan and pray I will follow it. Until then I know I am in trouble. I give up so much for so little. I really want to do June, July & August and this will be a good prep. I am glad I answered this thread b/c know I know I need to form a plan. Up till know I have only been playing cat and mouse with myself. A dangerous game and no way to win. :bomb:

                        Woke up this morning for the first time on weeks without a hang hover, which means I won't lose most of a day nursing my poisoned system. I lose so much time to drinking and hang overs. It only takes a few short hours in the evening and the next day is shot. This must be the ultimate model of ineffcentcy. So here's to a clear day with loads of possibilities. Peace
