        Hey - Not Tonight, can I join, you have 67 days - but can someone help me out, here...I think this is the 30 day challenge thread - I want to try a 30 day challenge but don't feel brave enough to go for a 60 day right now. I had 10 months AF that ended in April and have only been able to go a few days at a time since then. I need support and accountability or I start making up excuses for drinking and once the excuses start in my mind it is my resolve dissolves.

        I'll check the thread later today but would love to hear some thoughts you have used to keep you going on 67 days! Thanks so much!

                Morning all!
                Day 28 for me today! Only 2 days until the summit! I am very proud of myself for going a month..
                Not tonight - you are more than welcome, and you have experience so you can be one of the guides! :H It sounds like that evening was a success, and its so much easier when other people don't drink.. I am so grateful that my partner hardly drinks.. when I was married to my ex, he expected me to quit completely when he was constantly drinking around me, which made it very very hard.. but its not as difficult this time around!
                Blinder - well done on your AF days..
                mahalferty - you are more than welcome to join in on the 30 day challenge
                kpcrna - welcome also!
                Spinning J - 15 days is fantastic! :goodjob:
                I hope everyone has a fab AF Friday.. im off to meet a friend for coffee shortly, with our children, which should be fun! There will be no drinking for me today,
                Katie xxx

                    Evening all,

                    Hi Mahalferty. Like you I have had periods of sobriety, then I would relapse and struggle to find my way out of the bottle. This April we spent an extended holiday with my parents (extended by the Icelandic volcano). My father, has been an alcoholic for most of his life. He is highly functional, and has never hit rock bottom in terms of finances, or losing his family. However alcohol is taking it's toll on his health in a very serious way, slowly, degrading. Being in my parents house reminded me how alone one can feel in a home dominated by alcohol. It hit me, I don't want to repeat this with my family, and I don't want alcohol eating away at me over the years, bit by bit.

                    I have found MWO to be an invaluable resource. But mostly I have made a commitment to myself to quit drinking. When I first started I had to cancel dinner dates and pull out of going to parties because I did not feel that I could trust myself not to drink. Now that I have more time under my belt I have more resolve to say no to booze, but also an appreciation that I am not missing out on ANYTHING when I don't drink. Quite the opposite, I am gaining so much more through my sobriety.

                    Cravings come, but you just have to ride them out. Get online and start posting. Get more exercise, drink loads of water and eat 3 healthy meals every day. Decide this is how you want your life to be, sober. Please feel free to pm anytime, talking to others with the same affliction that want to make a change for the better is so important.

                    Peace
                    While we may not be able to control all that happens to us, we can control what happens inside us.

                        Good Morning Everyone and welcome to all the new hikers. Everyone is welcome here regardless of what day of the journey they are on or how far they are aiming to hike. We will support you! :l

                        Day 20 for me......AMAZING! In Oz its dry July, which is what I am telling everyone I am doing (although I'm not gathering sponsorship). Most people have said that they couldn't do it and certainly didn't expect me to do it. I'm 10 days away from reaching the 30 day summit and I hope to keep progessing because I'm feeling pretty good at the moment.

                        Katie Katie Katie Katie 2 days away, champion effort sweet lady! You will be following in Techies footsteps. Lots of legends here!

                        Hope you all have a fantastic Friday, look forward to reading posts of success soon.

                        Love and strenght to you all xx

                          Hey everyone,
                          Day 28 nearly over and out for me! Had a busy day.. lots of fun with my son - it feels so good to be "normal" and AF now.. I am really enjoying myself and finding I don't have as much anxiety anymore.. and being able to be totally alert and well for my son is priceless..
                          I hope everyone has/had a great AF Friday,
                          Katie xxx

                                Hi Hikers Almost the end of day 8 AF for me. I've found it hard to sleep these last couple of nights even after swimming my little un yesterday. Lay awake for ages for no reason really. I'm going to try some nytol tonight or would anyone disagree with that? Should i try and get my body to adjust to falling asleep without any help?

                                I usually do my weekly shopping on a friday after work but i didn't today to help me resist temptation i've came up with a plan of going early morning tomorrow before the supermarket can legally sell AL. I'm off to have a look round the other threads now for tips, have a great AF day/evening all.

                                Katie you go girl!!!! almost there! :goodjob:
