30 day alcohol experiment

Hi everyone

This is only my second post and I've never posted under this talk topic before, but, I thought I would see if there's anyone else doing the 30 day alcohol experiment by annie grace online?

This is my 2nd day doing the experiment but 4th day AF. I was reading threads on here and found out about the sober time app and also the 30 day challenge. After hitting a rather low point I knew I needed to do something so I am!

I neither wanted to or had the motivation to do anything before and as everyone knows it has to be you who wants to change to make it possibly work. Is anyone in the same boat?

Hello, hope you are still doing well.

I haven't heard of the thirty day challenge, but I do use the Sober Time app.

Day 22 here. I'll check it out and come back later Smile.

I've signed up BewilderedOwl.

I have recently started posting on the DRY 18 thread (last page).

Unfortunately, traffic on these sorts of threads is quite light.

You'll have to let me know what you think of it.
I'm not sure how much of a response I was expecting from the post really I just wanted to see if anyone else was trying it. It's the first time I've tried going AF so was curious Smile

DH uses the sober time app, he's on day 556! It starts with one day, and only when you are ready to change. Best of luck! Thanks

I'd love to know a bit more about the 30 day experiment & sober time app @BewilderedOwl Smile

In on day 23 of the 28 day challenge by One Year No Beer. I hadn't heard of Annie's app but I'm reading her book right now. It has been really illuminating doing the challenge and much easier than I thought (prior to this I regularly drank a bottle of wine a night about 5 nights a week, sometimes more of it was a weekend). So I thought I'd find it hard but I've realised quite how much is habit! I don't feel amazing- tbh I'm a little blue but that is because without the booze there to gloss over things, I'm realising that there are some aspects of my life that I've been running away from and I need to confront and it's sad and bewildering. Of course, this is a positive thing! Just not what I excepted to happen. I'm not going to start raucously boozing when the 28 days are up but I do have a couple of work events that I'm going to aim to drink very moderately at. After those events I think I'll do another 28 days and then see how I feel about extending after that. I'm going to go and seek out that app now! Good luck to you- it can only bring good things Grin

I looked at this yesterday and I'm going to read more later. I don't want to give up totally but want to cut down.

Hello all can I jump on?

@CardinalCat is that Annie’s book ‘this naked mind’ ? Is it any good?

I just down loaded the sober app.

CardinalCat · 27/04/2019 09:42

Yes Down, that's the book!

Miljah · 28/04/2019 10:21

Do you have to have read The Naked Mind first?
