Sober October Challenge!

:thanks: I am glad you started this Spinning J.
I too got so much from the September gang. When ever I felt I was going to drink i just logged on and found someone in the same boat as myself.
I hope the others feel the same and join the Sober October

:thanks::thanks::thanks:

for starting this thread, I'm at the airport but couldn't resist the temptation to check in quickly. Count me in, I made it through yesterday guys and am on Day 38 AF and I only made it through September with the sheer determination and support of all you guys. Onwards and upwards in October but it's always ODAT - last night was a real test for me but I survived - catch up with you over the weekend.

A warm welcome to any newbies no matter what day you are on we are all in the same boat and all relatively new to this ourselves.

Spinning J, for starting the month off.

You can't get rid of me and Molly easily.

October last year was a very special month for me. I went to my 1st AF wedding, 1st AF holiday and my AF 1st flight.

Well done, Dewdrop, I know it can't have been easy:l and lovely to see you on board for another month,anon.

Count me in. Got in early this month, not half way thru!

Hi Chook, nice to see you again.

Hey Moll, JC, Anon, SpinningJ, Dewdrop, Angel.

I felt so much enthusiasm from you guys last month and I am hoping to feel the same soon. I am struggling abit at the moment..... it's all the old triggers..... it's Friday, my husband is out, my daughter is at a sleepover....all the old reasons that I would get a bottle or two and get plastered by myself. So am going to do something different and sidetrack my mind! And stick around here tonight.

Lets hope lots more of us join this challenge and get to October 31st (and beyond) SOBER!

Take care

Hipster

Hi everyone,

I am in , I would miss you guys way too much as we have really formed a wonderful community here. Welcome to everyone joining this month, you will find it a tremendous support as I did. September presented with many challenging situations with having a social event almost weekly - where booze was flowing plenty. I know I was riding on the high of deciding to quit and I hope it continues. I am liking who I am again and I don't want to screw it up with AL.

Hippy Chick, that is my exact trigger - being alone...It is tough, but each time we make it through those situations it does get easier the next time. I found I had to go out and drive somewhere, visit a friend or go shopping until the urge went away.

Great sober weekend ahead.

Happy Sober October to all! Count me in as well, as this group/thread has helped me remain AF for 24 happy days. As always, I fear the weekend which can bring lonliness but I hope to stay busy and focused on continuing my AF life.
