@Maria you can sign up for the Annie Grace 30 day alcohol experiment online and they send you emails everyday,I have heard very good things about it. Maybe it would be a good thing to doin the mean time before you get/start on them book.

try and find something to reconnect gently when getting home. These feelings after family can be high out there. do not let your engine get forced from 5th gear to parking… it takes time to shift back to neutral. (isnt it nice that there is always metaphors for when real deal is to overwhelming)

I read it at the beginning of my journey and found it very helpful. I also recommend Quit Like A Woman by Holly Whitaker, that one is my new favorite on sobriety and recovery.
Love your positive group!!

thnxs. jeah I saw it just now! I think it is the original from the thing we now had in holland that is called “ontwijnen”

What does this mean?
Ontwijnen literally means de-wining. A lady wrote a book and promoted it during dry January

@Maria @Marisim And anyone who wants to read too!
I ordered the book already. I will wait to start until whoever wants to read along has their book. Let me know who has ordered! Now she has 2 books, the Alcohol Experiment is what I ordered. I’m definitely interested in reading This Naked Mind too.

Whatever is cool! I have seen the squat challenge, 10 for every day you’re on, like 1st day -10 squats, 2nd- 20, 3rd-30… etc I vote no push-ups though b/c i hate them SO much!!

Try to get home and do some relaxing time dear, maybe a long bath or if you have a bathtub, do that with some candles and work on your breathing. Try to acknowledge your thoughts and then throw them away again
