Hi Everyone, I think I'll join this month.

I've been actively trying to quit since the beginning of this year...although I started with an idea of "cutting back" or "abstaining for a few weeks". It never worked for me and I know I need more of a definite plan. Most recently I had about 60 days and was doing very well and then slipped last weekend. So thought I'd join this group.

I think the more support the better going into the holidays!

Hope all is well

Hi all, I thrashed around and didn't start to get my act together until the end of October, so I'm here to make a stronger start in November. Third class is the charm?

It's cold here in DC this morning! I took my older son to soccer practice, came home and took a hot bath with mineral salts. Then I made a big salad with some naan bread. I would LOVE to take a nap, but this hour of relaxation is about to come to a close.

Have a great day, everyone!

Two years after my original attempt to quit alcohol, I return almost to the day. It's a complete coincidence but makes me feel that perhaps this is it! Sick of hangovers, sick of every Friday night turning into a bingefest, sick of dull skin & bloating, sick of basically making an ass of myself.

Hi to everyone in the November group. I look forward to getting to know you all.

Do you have java installed on your computer? For me I have java, but then I have to allow the plug-in to be activated. If you have java, if you just push on the puzzle piece it will ask you if you want to allow it, you push yes, and then you're set.
I hope this helps.

Everybody supports one another and is genuinely pleased when you do well.

Best of luck to all of you!
Awesome job Gilmer! I look forward to learning from you!

I haven't really shared much, but this has been my day so far:
Went to spinning in the morning, went and got some new teas which I am very excited about. I got some more gingerbread roobios and also got a strawberry champagne oolong. Tea has been my go-to beverage since quitting alcohol, especially at night when I tended to drink.

Thanks Kim! Yes I often remind myself of the definition of sanity regularly.

Thanks for the support, it's really appreciated.

Xx
