OK, we have begun! I was wondering an hour ago which member of this group might first post the start of our challenge month - September! Thanks, Choice - And here we are! It's not too late to join and gain strength from this great group. There are no rules except to be kind and supportive. Posting daily is ideal because you help others while you help yourself, but not everyone is ready for that.

Count me in! :new: Although I've been lurking off and on for a few months. Seeing the success and support in Techie's Challenge gives me hope that if I make a commitment in public, as it were, I'll have a greater chance of success so here I am!

Looking forward to getting to know everyone a bit better - it's going to be a good month!

I'm actually on day 2 of being AF for the first time in what seems like forever....

Me too!

I'll join in too - it will help me focus on not drinking and I'll feel part of a team.
September is a strange month - I feel that summer has just disappeared, but it was a good one!

First Day of the Challenge

This is so great, I need to start writing the names over again on a bigger piece of paper! We have over 35 members, most in the early stages of winning the battle against alcohol. On this our first day, if you like, you could post how much AF time you have under your belt. They don't need to be consecutive days but in that case maybe include a time frame like ____ AF days in the past week or month. Then you have a goal which is to improve. We are all making a committment here to go AF for the month of September, but I would like to offer the structure for people to know they have accomplished something if they achieve less than 30 days. People who fail to meet a 30 day goal may feel discouraged and be afraid to try again; that happened to me. Alcohol is a hard battle which I believe is won slowly over time for most. That is certainly the case for me. There is great support in this group and on this site. I feel sad every time I connect with someone, and then they disappear (stop posting). I assume that nothing good has happened. I believe we all need support to win this battle. This is day 11 for me following over two years of drinking moderately and using Drink Tracker for most of those months.

How about a little bit of Ella Fitzgerald singing, "The September Song" to welcome in this new month....
