My prayers and thoughts are with you,

We are the one’s responsible for the outcome of our lives. If we are scared of something, that’s because we have allowed it unto ourselves. Personal growth is a habit we must introduce into our lives, and as with any new habits, it will take time before we get comfortable with it.

As the old saying goes: I think, therefor I am.

Karen,
I applaude you! You are giving yourself every opportunity to succeed. I will be thinking about you over the holidays. And, if there are any especially hard moments, I hope you feel a little squeeze from baby Jesus to get you through!
Take care,
Jill

Thanks for sharing this plan! I love your authenticity…
By the way, I perceive you very focused on the “Negation” of the addiction. I would suggest to be focused on a “Big Yes”, in a positive aspect that you love. To be focused in one aspect of your life that you love and empowers you. A “Big Yes” that will allow you to overcome any difficulty that you could find in the battle against the addiction that you are fighting!

Hi Karen.

You are a terrible person. This is a bad idea.

I am joking around~

What you are putting forward here is a big proposition. It is a tough one. I would say it is one for you to maintain at your discretion, but it sure can help quite a bit.

You sure won’t know until you try, as I didn’t know some things until I tried, like one I pointed out in a recent post.

We got yo back yo

Thank you for sharing this with us. when we put our commitments to our selves out in public and hear the public shout back you can do it it is a huge help. You have the strength and the desire to make the commitment i have faith that you will fallow through. You have also started me thinking about the changes i am afraid to make in my own life for which i am both annoyed with you and thankful.

Ambitious. Amazingly candid.

But you’re going to drive yourself insane if all you focus on is your alcoholism. Don’t just consume literature about addiction; consume stuff you really enjoy. The 90 day challenge you’ve got seems all romantic and all, but it will be a grind, and you will need other outlets to relax.

Good luck and keep us posted!

I like the 90 day idea. It draws your thoughts away from focusing on not drinking and places them on completing the challenge. It will turn out to be a much more ordered approach, since you like lists and all.

Did you give your new note book a pet name? Just wondering, that way in twenty years from now you can say “pet name” has all the answers and you can put them into a book and sell it

I still think Duct Tape would be good to include in future posts.

Keep up your head up!!!

Continue to be humbled by your ability to be going through such a personal struggle with such humour and authenticity and be such a source of inspiration to the rest of us.
btw, I have mentioned you in my latest post ‘Balance’. Your sharing has had me look at my approach to balance.
