Calling Time on Wine - the next 100 days after the first 100 day reset | Thread 3: Continuing to support and navigate together.

[needastrongone]

As promised, a new thread.

As the title states, this is the third thread. It started for those of us who wanted some support and a safe place to navigate a 100 day alcohol reset. Most of us on the thread wanted more time and space than Dry January to fully reset and maybe reflect more on our relationship with alcohol than one month.

What we also found was the most wonderfully supportive and uplifting set of folk, all with the common intention of being AF from January for 100 days. A few blips along the way for some (including me at the beginning) but for those that have, we’ve tried to understand why they happened and most of us have continued to be AF going forward and managed 100 AF days since January.

We are going for another 100 (we all liked the idea of breaking being AF into chunks of time) and I don’t think it matters one bit if new folk want to climb on board and start from here, we can all offer a friendly and non judgmental place here.

Because alcohol is a drug @CoffeeCupMilk , and it affects your brain like a drug. It’s just a socially acceptable drug (that a lot of us quite like 😁).

As everyone has already commented @CoffeeCupMilkplease don’t be so hard on yourself. Look after yourself today, you can always look at it like this - it’s 120 days (if est 3 months) less one day! It’s one day, which is nothing in the big scheme of things is it? So be kind to yourself and wake up tomorrow after a better sleep tonight ready for 121 days (or there abouts).

Hey everyone xxx

'm just going to say that your all doing amazing and it can be really boring, and that sometimes the thought of having a drink does really sound appealing because that's what in the past has taken us out of the mundane.
But also it does you a favor by having it , it takes away the mystery or the romance of having a drink, because it really doesn't turn into this magical drink in the end anyway x so exactly as what was said one evening of drinking doesn't ruin your streak and your amazing efforts
And feeling bored at times is good, it makes the fun times feel more fun!
It's rubbish when people have let you down with their friendships, it's hard to believe that maybe you're only wanted if your sinking glasses of wine. It says more about them than you xxx
