Alcohol Free OctoberFest!

:new: Hi , I was on a different thread - don't quite have the hang of this site yet. I just joined this week and would like to be AF for 30 days. I just became a MWO member this week and I started AF October 1 - so today is day 3. I'm tired and depressed. I think mostly because I finally realized how much of a problem my drinking has become and that I must face it. I have been floating around the site posting but I don't know where I belong.

Keep at it you guys!!! 31 days isn't that long but will make a HUGE difference in the way you feel!!! Only 28 more days to go. I know you can do this!

I'm still in!!

I went to bed really early last night because I felt so tired. But I didn't drink anything and felt pretty good today on day 3. I've been thinking about wine since about 4pm but decided I would stop by and get a latte with whipped cream on the way home from work. Every time wine pops in I substitute the coffee! I think we can all do this. What a great group!

Hi, FMG. Congratulations on achieving day 3. I'm also at day 3. Almost broke tonight because I'm having such difficulty with my computer but after my evening walk I put on my pajamas and washed my face so I wouldn't be tempted to go out. Well I'm exhausted tonight. Congrats everyone.

Deilight and all the rest,

I, too, am exhausted. Unfortunately that doesn't mean I can sleep. :H

That's okay. I would rather be tired than hungover and I know this tiredness has to do with being AF. So, that is GOOD thing.

Night to all in TZ's later than me.

Wake up tomorrow morning and know you made it one more day!!

I'm in with you all.. Good Job everyone. Stay strong and take it one day at a time. Just say " I will not drink today"...just worry about today. Tomorrow will take care of itself. Just today..

You can do this. Don't make it harder than it is..

Good Morning to you all on this rainy (here) Day 6!

Will be watching England play Australia in Rugby today - my boys play tomorrow against Fiji. Anyone else do rugby?

Instead of stars I'm using + signs to watch my AF days "add up."

FMG...you belong anywhere and everywhere here on MWO!:l You'll soon find your way around.

Tiredness and depression are all part of the early days of AF....keep strong, it will pass.

You can do it!

Keep on fighting! It is SO worth it. I made it through day 7 and am still hanging in. It feels so good to be AF!! Don't kick yourself. It was in good part due to your post about being AF for Oct. that got me going. You are an inspiration even if you had a small slip!

Thanks Auntie!

I know slipping is easy and can happen to anyone, feel better today because the hangover is gone. Feeling down with hangover is not good for the soul!

Here's to day 2! ++
