BOOZE BUSTERS 30 DAY CHALLENGE NEW THREAD 10/1

'Lo All!

I'm Back!

And SO glad to be here.

But unfortunately starting over again at day 1. Posted the whole sad story in another thread so won't repeat it here. Not beating myself up over it either, actualy handled the whole thing rather well, but sorry to see the AF days go. :upset:

It's going to take me a few days to get caught up, looking forward to getting to know the new people!

It's actually already morning here, so off to bed I go. See you all later!

BOOZE BUSTERS 30 DAY CHALLENGE NEW THREAD 10/1

I'm with you Beaches, onwards and upwards. I too broke my great AF run, I posted details yesterday. However, today is another day and maybe my BIL who upset me has done me a favour. I always feel so guilty and take responsibility for everything which I have to learn to stop doing. There is more stuff going on with MIL but now I get to say, well I'm not stepping in, this is the way I was treated so I'm out of it!! Every cloud has a silver lining!!

Hi Everyone: I didn't have time to read the several posts on this thread, but I wanted to join in. I really need to connect regularly. Rustop, even though you slipped, it was very, very good that you came back here to MWO. I think that's important. Mary

Good morning Booze Busters!! I pushed back from the computer for awhile, hubby got tired of looking at the back of my head.

It looks as if the fugly green suit is getting a real workout . Just remember to hang it back in the closet when you're done.

Not one of us woke up and decided that "gee, I think I'll have an unhealthy relationship with alcohol starting today" , it is a learned behavior and will take us all some time to unlearn. Don't consider any of your sober time lost, its been time well spent learning how much better our lives are without alcohol.

Just remember guys nobody's perfect.

BoozeBusters on Columbus Day

Hello Folks,

A quiet past few days on our thread. Probably to be expected over time.

Should we keep up with this thread of 30 days AF goals or just let the daily thread suffice for ABS?

What does everyone think?

July

Day 74 AF

Thanks db2! No worries, back on track, yesterday was such a waste! I was supposed to go and do things but felt all down and yukky and didn't. Drinking is a waste of time!

Day 2. ++

BOOZE BUSTERS 30 DAY CHALLENGE NEW THREAD 10/1

July - Been wondering myself. I think this thread has been an absolutely great thing for quite a few people, as a somewhat structured but fun challenge and learning tool, and I'd hate to see it die completely. What do you think about more or less letting it go now, and then having a "New and Improved" version launch in January? With a few months down time, a new start may be just what a lot of people are needing around that time of year. Until then, maybe the daily thread would suffice?

Everybody, throw your 2 cents worth in here too!

And - forgot to mention - if we decide to keep going as is, I'll still be around, just so you know. I think I am going to attempt a mods of sorts, with a 30 day stint thrown in here and there. So looking forward to everyone's comments.

This thread has been great fun. At the moment I'm not giving myself goals, I felt so proud when I achieved the 30 Days but so disgusted when I broke my AF run. For the moment I'm taking it ODAT. Starting it again in January is probably a good idea. Most of us are posting on a number of threads so get to catch up.

July and Deb- That sounds fine: We just need to hear from folks who are working on their 30 day goals to see if they want to continue here, go to the ODAT thread or daily thread.

I've been surfing and reading all of them so if you want to start this one up in Jan that is fine or I will keep coming back here.

Update on mods weekend

Hello everyone,

I wanted to give an update about my weekend trip and my first attempt at modifying after my 30 days abs. I think it was a big success. I set the following guidelines and stuck to them
-max. 5 drinks/week
-no drinking on weekdays
-no more than 2 days in a row

Warning?(skip if you don?t want the boring details)
Friday night we ate at a great Creole restaurant and I had two glasses of the wine with my blackened catfish. I sipped slowly and drank a lot of ice water in between the sips of wine --this was a necessity because the catfish was really hot! When we finished eating we moved into the bar to watch the live entertainment. While at the bar I finished my second glass & had another glass of water. I was satisfied and would have stopped there. But my husband wanted to stop in the hotel bar to see the end of a baseball playoff game so I had a third glass. I didn't feel drunk at all, maybe because of all the food, but I think the Kudzu really helped too. Saturday morning I didn't have a hangover but my head felt a little fuzzy. I realized I should have skipped the third drink.

Saturday night I only had two glasses spread out over a long dinner. My husband wanted a martini nightcap so we stopped in the hotel bar again. This time I just had water. I really didn't want another drink...honest. Another thiing, this is the first time we didn?t take booze along for the room. Come to think of it, I?m usually the one who suggests we stop at a liquor store to get a bottle for the room but I didn?t even think of it.

When we got home Sunday night hubby had wine but I had diet soda (in a wine glass?sometimes I think the wine glass is more important than the wine). Again, I didn't have any big craving for wine, even though I didn't take any Kudzu on Sunday.
(End boring details)

I honestly know I wouldn?t have been able to mod this way if it weren?t for the initial 30 days abs. My mindset has changed. I can?t stress this enough for those of you who want to drink moderately but don?t make it through the 30 days. I think it?s very important.

As far as this thread is concerned, who is still on a 30 day challenge? I don?t know where to post anymore either. I wonder if I belong on the mods board but I would miss all of you
