    Katie's 30 day challenge! anyone wanna join??

    Katie, I was supposed to go out this Saturday night with some girlfriends for diner and drinks, but I think it best if I forgo it. I don't feel ready to explain why I am not drinking, and more importantly I don't think I have enough days under my belt to resist the temptation of having wine with diner, which of course will lead to many glasses afterwards (port with desert, more wine when I get home). Perhaps rather than dread the weekend evenings without AL, we should look forward to waking up Saturday and Sunday morning ready to enjoy the day.

    Good luck with the move!

      Thanks not tonight! I am really excited about the move.. moving to a bigger place, yay!
      You sound very sensible with the foregoing of the sat night option.. early on, those kinds of situations are too difficult, they still are for me.. I am giving alot of situations/events a miss until i feel stronger! I am determined to do these 30 days as Ive been here 3months now and not done 30 days so i feel it is high time!
      And yes.. weekends are much better without AL - no hangovers, no regret or remorse.. we have to remind ourselves why we are doing this.. i know i want to change and not go back to the way I was.. I just could not control myself, which never led to anything good!

        sounds good not tonight. there will be lots of opportunity to have dinner with friends later, when you feel stronger. right now, concentrate on your recovery it will be worth it! do something nice on saturday and sunday during the day treat yourself. i'm sure your friends will understand xx

            Good Morning Team Leader Katie and Fellow Hikers -

            I am ready for Day 4! Hoping to reach 4000 feet today (may not sound like much to the rest of you but bear (oops) in mind my progress is measured in waddles and hops). My goal is 1000 feet per day.

            I resisted the offer of a glass of wine last night (damn bears) and hope to stay strong that way all through the weekend this time. **I don't want to have to slide on my belly all the way back to base camp and start over.***

            ...So good luck, everyone, on Day 4 of Katie's Mountain Challenge!

              Hi Bird and Coco-nut..
              I'm off to turn in.. my tent is all pitched and im looking forward to a good nights rest since the shift has arrived to take over the bear-watching! Coco- sounds like a great plan; and you did great in resisting the bear last night - you shot him down, well done!
              I'll be back in the morning if someone can please wake me again so I can get my hiking boots back on and plot the next trip for the day,
              Night all!
              Katie xxx

                Coco-nut - well done with passing on the glass of wine! Not easily done. Here is to day 4!

                        Lol. You better watch out. You're not gonna know what hit you. I did comment yesterday that those bears excluded you though.

                        You're still going to be here tomorrow morning? I thought you were gone by then already? Anycase you probably won't be reading this anymore tonight.

                        The journey is the goal. As long as you're fighting the good fight and you're not giving up on giving up, you're winning. It's not about how often you get knocked down, it's about how often you get up again. Sobriety the goal for sure. But striving to get to that goal is what it's about. Not getting there. Because the journey never ends. The journey is the goal.

                          Mama Bear is excluded - she will be our "good luck bear" - and maybe when the real bears see we have a bear with us, they will leave us alone.

                              Yeay!! I made it through the day (work day, should I say). On my way home now. Hot stew tonight and definately some of that hot chocolate again!! No plans either so will probably stick around. But will be a good hour or two before I hit home. Gosh I hate running to the car in the rain.

                                Well.....shoot! I am the one that slid down to the bottom. So, I've got some serious hiking to do. But, I am going to do it. I'll be a couple days behind you but I'll meet you at the top.
