#DryFeb2023 I am challenging myself this Feb to go dry and refrain from the use of all substances being drugs medications other than vitamins and prescriptions prescribed by a doctor and I want everyone who is reading this today to believe in yourself .
Welcome to the community. Reach out if you need help
Thank you I will definitely do that .
Welcome Crystal! I’ll join you in your challenge. Dry February here we come to kick some sobriety ass.
For me.personally it’s not so much about the sobriety as it is the journey but I am happy and thrilled you are here to help as they say we are all on this together
I agree, being on this journey has been life changing. I never thought I would ever have confidence and love for myself but the past few years have proved me wrong.
Welcome!!! I am in for dry February!!!
Thank you for this and I really enjoy having a challenge and focus, so I’m definitely with you for dry February! That’s put a smile on my face
I am 2 weeks, dry Feb sounds good, we are all here for support if you need it
My husband is doing Dry February too. I’m really hoping it’s the beginning of an alcohol free life for him.
Oh wow, that is awesome to hear Sue!!
Right on I’ll join too
Really good my roommate even joined the challenge so cheering her on as well
That’s awesome! Having a buddy in real life to share your experience, strength and hope makes the journey that much better.
So grateful that despite the stress of yesterday - being incredibly busy at work whilst finding out I may no longer have a job because the company could be going into administration, not having time to eat properly, and also keep things amicable with my ex while we figure out moving forward - I DID NOT DRINK!
I thought about it, the sun was setting and I imagined the sensation of how that relaxation of those first few sips seeps through my body… but instead I played it forward, made myself a super tasty burger with a bagel (what a revelation!!!), got a terrific nights sleep, don’t feel anxious and have a plan moving forward with a job hunt.
I really want to find something that inspires me and I can put my skill set to…rather than just chasing the money.
Feeling excited for dry February!
Great job!! The reality of what drinking offers us versus the fantasy in our mind that it relieves stress or adds something positive to our lives.
And I trust the job situation will work out for you.
Good luck on the job hunt @SidneyBliss and great work playing the using thoughts thru to the consequences
Awww thanks Sassy, you’re totally right about the reality versus the fantasy…
I’m trusting the universe is directing me and that’s a beautiful thing to lean into
I appreciate your words of encouragement…hearing those affirmations and feeling your support brings a big smile to my face
