That right there is a victory! Sometimes it's the little steps that lead to big changes. None of us are perfect, and we give in to temptation at times, but we know what the end goal is and we'll get there eventually. Keep up the great work and thanks for sharing!

Twooooo months AF for meeee today!!! There's been some DAMN close calls, but I've held my ground. This world is definitely testin' me!!! 😆 thanks everyone for helping me to keep on going!
-
Welcome!! And congrats on 109! We're a good bunch of peeps here, you're in good hands. 😁

Props to you for just wanting to do dry January but deciding to continue it on! My intent is an AF life, so 3 months is just part of the daily routine! But I love the support, stories and encouragement from everyone here, it TRULY keeps me going 😁 we've got this!
-
Hahaha! So funny, and true! I was just thinking the same thing! I'm coming up on 7 weeks, but I think when I hit the 8 week mark, i'll just start saying months. Not sure why, it just sounds better! 😆😂
-
I'm in for 3 months dry!

Haven't been commenting in here lately, but i'm still around! 6 weeks AF tomorrow. I've been surviving get togethers with friends, whom alllll drink. But they seem to respect my decision, so that's been really helpful. Also, it's been FREEZING cold around here and snow, snow, snow, so that makes it easy to NOT want an ice…

That's great!!! I'm glad you were able to enjoy your night AF, aaaaand get to chat with the hubby! 🤗

TGIF everyone! Ready for the weekend. It's been a loooong week! The plan is to take my kids skiing if the weather isn't too cold. Just need to get out of the house and do something. I'm feeling a little lonely/sad today. Been entertaining the idea of going to the brewery after work for a few beers. I'm missing that social…

Jumping on the band wagon here: Happy Consumer Driven Interpretation of Love Day!!!! :D :smiley:

Just poppin' in to say that today marks my 4 weeks of AF!!! Yipeeeee!!! Everyone here seems to be doing well, keep it up, and enjoy your week :smile: Thanks for all the support, so glad I stumbled across this group!
-
That I can't believe tomorrow will be 4 weeks alcohol free for me and that i've managed to ACTUALLY stick to something I set my mind to! Feeling pretty good. :smiley:
-
Made it through the get together at the brewery without having a drink!!! Oh my gosh it was tempting though!!!! So many new beers on tap! 😭😭 damn that deliciousness!! I feel though, if I can make it through that, i'm on a pretty good path. So, i'm pretty proud of myself for that.
-
:wink: I woo'd you.....WOOHOO! Love a day at the salon! Glad you made it home safe! Enjoy your weekend!
-
Thanks for the info! I still think people use the Woo button for various reasons, it might not have been a bad thing, I wouldn't worry about it. :smile:
-
Thanks for the tips and encouragement! I'd order a mocktail if they served those, but this is a beer brewery and they only serve their craft beer and a couple soda pops.... and I don't drink pop. However, I think I heard that they might've started serving kombucha? I've never had that, I THINK it's non alcoholic, right? I…

So, I've decided to join the local Roller Derby team here.....Woot woot! The first get together for new members of the team is scheduled this Sunday.....at my favorite brewery. Oi. Go figure!!! The brewery where everyone knows my name, my favorite drinks, and the spot that I sit at. I'm not sure how I feel about having to…
-
Yesssss, no hangover was the BEST feeling! Lol. Was nice to wake up refreshed and ready to enjoy the day.
-
Yep, that's the realization I had to come to myself as well.....Alcohol is just no good for me. And being left with regrets of things you said or did while under the influence, is a horrible feeling, that you can't take back. I'm glad you've decided to hop back on the AF train! I'm right there with ya! You've got this!
-
I survived my girls getaway trip this weekend, AF!!! It was tempting at times to join in on the drinking, but i'm SO PROUD of myself for not caving in! Coming up on 3 weeks sober now...... I'm feeling good about this. :smiley: Hope everyone here is off to a great start this month!
-
Thank you for this. I have some time to kill today and I was just looking for these type of videos to watch during that downtime. I'll check it out! I'm sorry to hear about your situation, but something tells me you've got this! Stay strong, and we're all here for you if you ever feel like caving in.
-
Knowing that I have tomorrow off work! :smiley:
-
Hahaha! Well, I might join in on that fun then! Looooooove me some bone broth!
-
"False fun for a brief time". That's exactly right! A good way to think of it. I've been trying to convince myself that i'm just as fun without alcohol as I was when I use to drink. I'm usually the life of the party, but, a lot of that was alcohol induced 😆 Now I need to find a way to break out of my shell and still bring…
-
.........you might be. :D hahaha!
-
Imaginary friends huh? 🤔 sounds interesting! Hahaha!
-
I know for me, I'm saving around $200 a month from not going to the breweries after work. And that's just from buying Pints.....I'm not even talking about filling up growlers, or grabbing a 6 pack from the store, or going downtown for some tequila shots and misc. drinks, etc. I never realized how much I was spending. I…
-
Wow!!!! Now THAT'S something to celebrate! Woot! Woot! Have a thankful Thursday!
-
Funny thing, I didn't even know there was such a thing as "dry January" or whatever its called, until I came on here and saw everyone talking about it, lol. I just so happened to decide to quit drinking this month. Exactly 1 week ago! And, it's going great! Even with the brewery being right around the corner from my…

Yay!!! I'm glad it's helped you! I thought after reading your other forum post, that this would be the place for you 😁 Enjoy your bike ride in the morning!
