        To everyone else...HI! I'm excited to get my thrid 30 days this year and hope to carry it though the end of the year and beyond. I've tried to mod....doesn't ever work out well. I do good for the first couple of weekends the right back to over doing it....I have become an expert at starting over but it's not all bad. I know what to expect and how to do this now I just have to learn how to keep it going! I enjoy the sober, healthy life! For everyone just starting out, after the first week or two the physical symtoms pretty much go away and all there is left to deal with is the feelings, but they are just feelings and we can control them!

        Bring it on September 1st!
        Hi jennyeric!!!

        Yes, this place is amazing..It' s very philosopical question..but if we both couln' t be alcholics we could never ever met..I live in Northern part of Europe. bugalugs - in South Australia..As far as possible from each other

        We have very coomon good things, only AL we have to reject from our new life..it' s about - to loose or win or struggle..i hope we' ll win...

        Wish you to continue your sober life, you' re doing great!! And yes - you' re right - moderation isn' t for me possible too..some years ago - yes, but this time is gone and it' s very difficult for me to admit..i'm very stubborn..

          Hi everybody from "September marathon"!!

          I hope we all reach the goal but if we just be weak for some moments - it doesn' t matter..the most important is to participate and have will to win...
          Day 2 for me - better than yestarday but i already now all triggers which slowly appear during the day..most important - to be veeery smart to fool them, to escape..

              Evening all, It is near the end of day one of this challenge for me, I am on Day 5 A/F and I had a few nervy moments today but I am glad to say I have got through it. I have had my dinner and now I am looking forward to relaxing on the sofa infront of the TV. I must admit I had to have a few little words to myself today as I am determined to get to 30 days A/F.
              I hope you are all doing well one your first day of the challange

              Take care
              xx

                Good Morning, Everyone! Hard to believe it's already September, but I'm very glad it's here. August was a VERY difficult month for me. I have been AF since July 9th, but it was a real struggle to remain so last month. I decided after my 30 days AF that it was no use in trying to moderate. If I drink, I will get bombed and that's just how it is for me. I am glad to join in the September challenge. This is a wonderful, supportive place and I could not have given up my wine without everyone here!

                I hope everyone has a lovely, sober September 1st!

                    First challenge day done. Not as hard as previous times.... I think I'm getting better at stopping.
                    Now the big challenge is to stay stopped!!

                    Thanks for the well wishes jennyeric. Audrey and I have some challenges ahead, however I 'm confident, with love and determination, we will win this battle together :h

                    Ronnie, fellow Aussie, well done on 5 days keep up the good work.

                    Patrice, Like you I have no desire to repeat the night sweats. Keep to the plan.

                      Sober September Challenge!!!

                      It's September 1st, 2011 and I DON'T DRINK ALCOHOL !!! There I said it. When I read all the posts by people who have achieved a 30 day hiatus from drinking and have tried to moderate unsuccessfully, it makes me wonder why we all don't learn from those wise people who have decided to go A/F forever. But that's a discussion for October 1st. We have to go day-by-day. My first goal is to beat my own record of 17 days A/F and reward myself for that. Let's see.... what would be a nice reward besides a glass of vino. Any suggestions?

                      I am trying to get to know the different, lovely people who have joined our group and will begin to post personal comments as I feel comfortable. Until then, let's kick some serious ABSTINENCE butt... together in September !!

                      Our weather here in Quebec, Canada is starting to be chilly in the mornings and nights are cold too but our glorious early fall days are warm and refreshing. Great for walking.

                      Does anyone know of any 'attacking dog repellent' that I could carry with me? I live in the countryside and there are loose dogs roaming which make it scary for me to walk alone. Trying to get more exercise as it is one of MWO's steps to success.

                      I do this for my children, my grandchildren, my health, my peace of mind, and mostly for the opportunity to learn to live with my true, unfiltered, clear-headed, vulnerable self.

                        Count me in!!!!!!!!!! Have got supplies of Bac and whilst I've diddled and dallied in the past, I'm giving myself a challenge to get through to my birthday AF and hopefully with the help of Baclafen and MWO I'll achieve this. Funny isn't it that it just "hits" you and you sort of know that the time is right. Good Luck everybody!!!!!:l:l:l:l:l

                            yday one almost done for me, really tough day for me, im 23 days AF today so why this should have been hard today i have no idea. seeing a young woman stumbling down at the shops out of her head at 3pm this afternoon got me thinking about what a bad idea it would be and id purposely only taken out the right amount of cash with me so i couldnt buy anything

                            looking forward to a better day tomorrow, got a terrible caffeine withdrawal headache now, bought decaff coffee as it was on special offer and had forgotten about the withdrawal side of it, its took my mind of AL though

                            wishing everyone a good evening and a good nights sleep and ready for day 2

                              Hi everybody!!

                              Hi patrice!!! Congrats on your Day 1!!!You did it!!!

                              Mine Day 2 is successful too!!
                              Have crazy pain in shoulder and neck part which lasts for 1 week..Partly psychosomatic, partly - physical (lifted to heavy things and i'm not very strong women..) With wine of course was less pain - anestetic

                              Did short yoga session this morning, hot bath, hope tomorrow will be better..
                              To distract myself - went to spanish movie with my favorite Javier Bardem "Biutiful"..yes, besides i'm movieholic I like to watch movies when i drink and when i'm sober..of course, quality of insite is different..some movies i have to watch second time But when i drink alone i just want to dissapear and melt with screen..

                              Wish everybody good sleep (especially for us - first 5 Day starters)!!!!

                                Morning/evening everybody!!

                                Can' t sleep..Pain in my shoulder..But i rather endure physical pain which i' ll cure than guilt and anxiety of consuming AL..
                                My daughter is having hungover this morning after 1st school day' s party..She knows everything about my status, supports me, so she knows that i' ll give her just practical advices without jugment..and she normally doesn' t have problems with drinking..but i'm still worried because in her age (18, 19) i didn' t drink at all...first glass of wine i had when i was 18..Sad, that i became sick after 20 years of normal non-alcholic or very moderate drinking life..Divorce broke me and i think for women to become addicted is much shorter time..much shorter..i remember my mother told me this when i was teenager - she was a doctor..

                                Well, i know is hard to avoid memories, but today for me is goal - Day 3!!!
