Just that really .
I'm really going to have a good go at this and I'm scared .
The thought of 30 days AF terrifies me and that's why I know I need to do it.
Trying to balance a v stress job/ 12- 14 hours a day/long commute/ children and a a fabulous relationship which I'm currently putting pressure on with my drinking .
Anyone want to hand hold or do this with me pls would be great ?

Yes I've just signed up to it. Thank you

My drinking has crept up again, so think I am in. I have done it before and it got easier as it went on but hard at the the begining so great to have some support.

Yes please. I just joined up. I could really use some support.

I'm starting tomorrow. I didn't drink today actually but this past week has been disastrous levels of wine so I think tomorrow is the first day of not feeling like utter crap.

I’m in. Just bought the book. Time for change….

Are we signing up somewhere..?

Hi everyone, I'd love to join you. I'm on day 3 today and ready to give this a proper go. I'm also reading the accidental soberista which is really helping

I’ll join in too. I live with a highly functioning alcoholic and find myself drinking habitually. It’s difficult to have alcohol free nights in an alcohol fuelled environment. I downloaded the Alcohol Experiment months ago, so.... here goes:)

Hi yes I will join you on 1st November. Need to reset and would be great to have a month off. I have had a month off before and I felt amazing.

I drink twice weekly typically (weekend) 1-2 notes of red but I’m not sure I can do 30 days. I’m not sure what that says about me 😱😱 I’m in starting 1st Nov

Mutly it's easier than you think. Just one day at a time no more.

I've already done it and you can't do it twice but I'll do it via this thread definitely. I had a good October - 26 af days so I'd like to beat that in November.

I downloaded her book yesterday, and after seeing this thread I just signed up to the website. I think I’m in… that feels scary, though!

I started from when I wrote on this thread. The book is excellent and so far so good. This is y first weekend without alcohol in a while probably 9 years since I was pregnant. 😱😱

@PromisesMeanNothingSue, it is scary but you're having a go and that's all you can do. One day at a time is the best way !
@Muttly, you can do it !

I've just signed up. I had a month off booze last November and 7 weeks at the beginning of 2021 but outside of that it's been too frequent and too much.

I am on day 11. 1 day alone and then day 10 on TAE app. I do have the book but the daily video inspiration videos are really good. I heartily recommend it. Download the App and get started..😊

There a folks on the TAE app who are redoing it or going back to day 1.

I've signed up! I'm really not sure I can do a month off alcohol and that really worries me as I know my drinking has been getting out of control. There was a small glass of wine left in the last bottle in the house and I drank it earlier (I know I should probably just have thrown in out but I felt like having one last one). There's now no wine left in the house so all I need to do is to stop myself buying any, wish me luck!

I am definitely in. My drinking is out of control- at least half a bottle of wine a night and more at weekends. Not done more than one day AF in years…

Morning all ! Well the 1st it is and off we go. My plan today is housework, walk the dog, eat properly and drink 2 litres of sparkling water.

I’m in Australia so am off to bed with my bottle of water and a book having survived day 1 :)

I’m really enjoying so far. 1 week down for me. I had a few queries on not drinking from friends at the weekend but dry November is a real thing here in Ireland so I will probably be easily able to get along without others asking questions from now.

It was definitely a good thing for me to do.

I’m on day 10, so have avoided alcohol for two weekends - they’re my weak spot. I’m easily tempted and the only way is for me to have no wine in the house AT ALL. I’ve previously done 15 months, but when I lapse, I can go through a bottle a night. The worst for me is when people give me wine as a gift.

Wow I've been offline for a while and didn't realise so many people had responded that's fabulous .
Day one for me then.
I've bought Annie's book / read and listened to Day 1 on the App and even managed a bit of journaling .
Also listening to the free podcasts on my way to work most mornings .
I am really anxious as I've not not had a drink for a long as I can remember .
Tonight was really kind though ... spent longer with my dd than I have done in too long . Felt more present and drank Chai tea which was quite nice !
I'm nervous about the next few days but so glad I can do this with you all .
Take care all amd hope you've had a good one .
