Keep on keeping on!

If you are struggling, know that this is the feeling of past bad habits leaving you.

If you are doing well in the challenge, keep that momentum going!

Day 5 was so much better than day 4. It's like the last few days were a dream. I can barely remember them. I'm feeling the fog lift from my brain though. Sleep still sucked huge balls last night. Looking forward to that getting better.

If this is about you guys not drinking, I wish you the best of luck. If any of you are having a problem with stopping, and you're a super hardcore drinker, go to your doctor and talk to them. Alcohol withdrawals can kill you, doctors have medications that can keep you alive. Stay strong!

Definitely agree here. Worst case scenario, at least do the eight day method that AA used to post (they might still have it on their site). Also, there's no shame in getting vivitrol from your doc to keep you sober.

Ok. I fell off last night. I will not give up. I need to get it outta the house.

The wife and I take turns buying it, and she bought last, so I'll try and pretend it's hers and off limits. There is no fucking way I'll pour hers out. That's a torture sentence and not drinking is hard enough. Fuck!

Try to keep your mind off of it. Accept that you might be bored as you settle into a new routine. A new, subtler vibrancy can blossom once you've been all clean for a while.

I have a mostly-full wine fridge sitting in my kitchen. Haven't been paying it any mind, but that's come with practice.

Sad to report it was a rough day with one of my kids and I drank a few beers tonight. I woke up feeling great and full of hope. I did not get trashed, just a few. I was thinking about all of you over here, I didnt feel weak I said fuck it with all this stress. Im still on my way, Sometimes we fall off or have a bump in the road. Getting back up is whats important. This is a shitty comment, but i wanted to report for today.

Drink some water. Pick yourself back up.

Tomorrow is a new day.

Don't feel bad about that, its a new day! After this challenge is over i've committed to buying one bottle or a pack of beer for each pay period and sticking to that. That way I have a control and can nurse it when I need it.
