Sweet dude! Drinking in moderation is fine, but I'm guessing you and a lot of the guys were/are like me and that's not what we did. I'm looking forward to tomorrow, for my week anniversary and then each sequential milestone.

Glad to hear you're still sober. I'm feeling better everyday. I need to start grocery shopping it's cheaper and healthier than eating fast food like I do.

Thank you for getting on this, King_Leopold_II.
I failed the challenge last night. Started with craving, thought I could have just 2, then had more. My higher function is half-broken now. Its like I'm learning to handle my alcohol all over again. A couple thoughts:
-There are virtuous and vicious cycles with discipline. Disturbed sleep weakened by ability to resist temptation.
-I had a specific hope that while drunk I would have an insight into a personal dilemma. Did not happen.
I vow to stay within the Challenge parameters today.

Sure thing dude. Just remember you can fail at something, but you're not a failure until you give up. Something that's helped me over the last couple weeks building up to last Saturday/Sunday (where i drank on sat, and went sober on sun) is repeating throughout the day "I love going to sleep sober."
It didn't happen over night and I may yet binge some night, almost did Thursday. I'm working on a submission but I want a little more personnel experience before publishing it.

Thanks. I seriously Needed that. As I'm sitting here, "buzzed" because I just helped open up a new restaurant in my hometown.
Edit: Free glasses of wine for the chefs who helped out...
