Change's FIVE Day challenge

[Change]

Hey guys,

I'm finding it hard to stay on the wagon at the moment and realise that 30 days is a bit too much for me to aim for right now. In light of this, i am creating a 5 day challenge for myself, so if anybody wants to join, feel free! (i hope i have some takers ).

The reason being, i think that smaller periods of time might be more doable for me right now, and i'm sure there are people out there who feel the same.

Day 1 - starting today is Wed Sept 8th

Me too. I need it. I am having a crisis at the moment.
K9 I am feeling really vunerable today?! Just like what you said about the four month mark?? How bizarre.
I have been thinking about drinking all day today. I nearly ruined my sobriety. Jesus how scary.

Rebirth, don't even think about it!! Well do actually - really really think about how you will feel tomorrow morning if you drink tonight. Think about facing Day 1 AF after all the work you've put in, think about the headache, the crap feelings, then go to bed and wake up tomorrow feeling wonderful:l:l

I'm in for 5 days. Since it is still 9/7 in my neck of the woods I'm callin' it Day 0. Mollyka, you are right on - it's a one day at a time game for one and all.

We can do it.

Hang in there Rebirth...it will pass. But yes, it is a scary feeling. Just try to stay focused on your new routine that doesn't involve alcohol. Let me know if I can be of any help!

{{{Rebirth}}}, hold on to your hat, hon. I read this in the "My not drinking bothers friends" article someone just posted; someone who picks up a bottle could "sink back into the groove of self-destruction and self-hatred that comes to define her life." Remember how awful that felt. Feeling shitty once in a while is better than that! Feeling anything is better than that. Go to bed early and just get this wobbly day behind you.
