Day 28 and feeling happy. Im isolated today due to ice storm in Texas but it's ok. Valentine Day and I'm ok. Life is better. I am going to RE-Do the 100 days after I finish this month. I look forward to a life without booze and seeing what it brings. The whole vibration of my life seems interesting and easier.

one of the biggest discoveries for me - was the realization of the difference (personally) between the small picture and the big picture in my life. alcohol fit into the small picture fine enough .. some instantaneous satisfaction, relief, calming of nerves, etc.... but BIG PICTURE, no way!!!! I've considered a life drinking in moderation, but I've proved to myself leading up to this AF journey that my relationship with alcohol is not healthy enough to do that. and life WITHOUT alcohol-- in the big picture-- .. gives me SO mUCH satisfaction!!! so much relief, fulfillment, rejuvenation..and honestly my nerves are WAY calmer than they EVER were when I drank everyday. the brain is a very mysterious, deep cave of neuroplasticity!!! and changing mindsets and beliefs is totally possible! (thoughts we ''practice'' basically become beliefs!) !! I am SO grateful for this platform and don't think I'd be here without it... rock on with big picture dreams and goals beautiful AF family!! ❤︎

In the home stretch! dont think I am going back though. I do miss alcohol, or the easy way I convinced myself i was having "fun" with it. buttttt I know I wasnt really. When I am really jonesing for an IPA I will try a nonalcholic one as some of you awesome people suggested.

I have just signed up but am on day23. Very excited to look forward to life without alcohol. I have dropped so much self hate and criticism. I have to admit I have been buying more on line purchases especially clothes- I’m a bit concerned that I am substituting my “high”. Has anyone else experienced this?

We support all paths on this journey and - above all else - respect the fact that your relationship with alcohol is an individual path. While we aim to provide anecdotal and scientific education, we will never judge an individual's decision in regards to their own drinking.
