Alcohol free Lent Challenge

Thanks! It’s definitely getting easier now.

Oh no, that’s so frustrating! I’m sure it will come soon. Hang in there :four_leaf_clover:

We can do this! How’s it going?

Still going strong. Going to brunch and a play this afternoon. I’m sure my friend will want a drink, but I will be ready to order something non alcoholic. I’ve also noticed if I order first and set the tone, she will abstain as well.

I started my journey 3 days agonon Ash Wednesday. Lets do this!
I plan on staying sober WAY beyond Lent, though. I’m unable to casually drink like normal people, so I’m choosing life. :blush:

Staying strong since last Wednesday. Been keeping myself busy by working a lot. Was supposed to be a huge snow storm where I’m at but it was mostly sleet and rain. Thank goodness because i don’t know how much more of this winter I can take.

I did it! Kept busy by painting our bedroom and taking our fur babies out and about. Feeling good today minus not sleeping well or if at all. I work NOC shift so it’s hard for me to actually have a good sleeping schedule. Anyway, finally warming up where I’m at… 35 degrees feels wonderful :rofl:
Have a great day/evening everyone.
