Sober till Xmas challenge

Who wants to
Lose weight? Who wants to not feel guilty most mornings? Who wants to feel more energised? Who wants to have sparkly eyes rather than puffy eyes? Who wants to look and feel their best at Christmas? All of these things sound impossible when the relationship you have with alcohol is so strong you can't imagine a week without it - just like me. However, let's fight it together and make this happen! Lets stick 2 fingers up to the bottle and skip in to the festivities. We can all do this! Alcohol is the enemy it is not our friend. Alcohol likes to watch us hurt our love ones and become something we are not. Bollocks to alcohol! I'm divorcing alcohol. Let start this journey together. We don't need self help books, AA meetings or Addaction. We have each other. We can share, support and reward as we go. Who's on this bus? I'm game if you are. I'm sorry if I've offended anyone with this approach, I'm just trying to unite people to
Create a strong support so we all have 1 goal - to be the best we can be during and after Christmas. How good would we all feel? Omg I would be super proud of myself and ready to take on what Christmas has to throw at me. Unlike now which is just self pity, depression and low self esteem. I'm sick of it. Alcohol is not doing this to me anymore. Come on guys. Let's be stronger than shitty alcohol. Who's in? X

Hi op I am in. Been here many times before but I really need to do this. I have tried self help books etc but something always makes me start again.

I am so tired of being tired and waking up regretful In the night. Let's do this.

Love the idea -- a sober November and part December 👍

I'm joining today.
Really need help with my drinking.
2 bottles, 2 f**king bottles last night.
Absolutely disgusted with myself.
Would appreciate advice and support.

Do you want to go AF?

Haggisfish · 11/11/2018 13:54

I identify with every word you’ve written in your op. Am in but tbh ANY af free data between now and Christmas will see me cheering. Am I still allowed to join?!Grin I have managed one af free night by ignoring the yearning and distracting myself. My worst time is dinner-if I can get through it af I’m far more likely to stay af in the evening.

First night done! Although I felt so rough after last night I couldn't even look at a drink.
Off to bed, hopefully I will feel better and stringer tommorow.
