TECHIE'S 30 DAY CLEAN SOBER CHALLENGE
I'm going to join you too - nice to have a thread where people are at least up and posting during my day (even if you will all go to bed during my afternoon!!)
Day 1 here ........ should have been day 7 except that I drank wine Friday, Saturday AND Sunday nights. What was really dumb was that I've been in a bit of a cycle of getting a few days AF but not sleeping ..... by day 4 I am climbing the walls and have wine to get to sleep. Anyway, talked to my GP about it and she has prescribed me 4 days of sleeping pills just to get me over that hump ...... but I have been concerned about the interaction with alcohol, so want to have 24 hours AF before I even try them. So I am bracing myself for a somewhat sleepless night tonight, but going to the gym this afternoon in an attempt to exhaust myself!Never give up, for that is just the place and time that the tide will turn

TECHIE'S 30 DAY CLEAN SOBER CHALLENGE
Can I join in? Its 3am and I have had wine, but technically I could start tomorrow when I get up. Actually thats today when I get up isn't it. 16th August is my mum's birthday. She would be 82. She died in 1999. So it will be a bit of a sad day, but a good reason NOT to drink. A week ago I was strong and said I would do 28 days until my birthday. I don't know what happened. Ooooh, maybe this isn't the time. There is always a reason not to isn't there. Dammit why is life so difficult, should I be posting this on another thread.
Ok. I'm joining in. Will start when I get up tomorrow.

Thought For Day 1
Give yourself a goal
Do yourself a favor and give yourself a goal. Make it meaningful, make it exciting, make it challenging and then make it happen.
Set your goal a little bit beyond what you already know you can do. Then when you reach it you'll not only have the achievement, you'll also have an increased level of confidence.
As long as you're making the effort to live this day, give it a purpose. Give yourself a goal, and transform fleeting time into lasting accomplishment.
From where you are, you can go anywhere. One by one, the goals you set will get you there.
Working steadily and persistently toward a goal will energize all aspects of your life and bring the awesome power of focus to your efforts. There's truly no feeling quite like it.
Challenge yourself forward with a great and meaningful goal. Give yourself a goal, and make yourself some real treasure.Outside of a dog a book is mans best friend. Inside of a dog its too dark to read

What a great gang assembled.. and up for the AF Augustfest
I sure don't want to miss out... but due to the time difference I find myself in the situation of already having had a glass of wine on the 16th of august while you guys are all fast asleep...
Am I disqualified?
Also I didn't read the post till I got home from work..still disqualified? hope not!!
My goal for the rest of the day is to write my plan and by the time all you guys are up, I will be going to bed, plan firmly beside me!!!
Take Care

Day one almost over here. Only 7pm, but rather than prolong the agony, I am going to have a bath and an early night. I'll feel so much better in the morning!
Thanks Techie for starting this off.Never give up, for that is just the place and time that the tide will turn

I imagine that I'll be having quite a few early nights. Interesting because of the time difference around the world. But, congratulations on your Day 1 Miss Behaving. :goodjob:"Only I can change my life. No one can do it for me.".....Carol Burnett
