FebFast - can we get a group together here?

FebFast - can we get a group together here?

Hello All,

I think we've all heard it before and I'm sure a lot of you stay away from the booze, well I don't and I have been encouraged to stop for a month.

So how about for anyone interested we do a FebFast group here (not registering on the site), just something where we can support eachother. I need to get off the grog and I'm sure together it's more fun.

@NikNik or any other moderator, did you mention that anywhere yet?

Still travelling okay. I was at a lunch the other day and a friend bought me a glass of wine, not knowing I was doing Febfast. When I told them they were very understanding. I felt like I was rejecting their good will though!

FebFast Day 9:

Decided to cut sugar out, another of my hard to skip habits, so now it's alcohol and sugar Day 1...

Love the momentum that is being built within this thread.

Many choices being made on this thread that are leading to people to a direction they are wanting to go.

Feeling proud 🙂

Have a drink occasionally but interested in what Ellu said about AA interventions. Had an up/down week of emotional rollercoaster but try to keep positive. I would be interested in the February event that's been suggested.Wish each forum member a nice weekend. Hugs and cheers from Bimby2.

Sounds like you are thinking about joining the Febfast group @Bimby2

Still plenty of days left in February, want to jump onboard? Keep us up to date with how you are travelling, I see lots of support and motivation here 🙂

How are you tracking with Day 2 of no sugar @Former-Member, that's much harder for me than alcohol......

I've done it for a month before and found it a real challange. Amazing at the end but in the beginning......Yikes! 🙂

Hi everyone!

What a week, I had to travel an a couple of hours on public transport (1 hour each way) to get to medical appointments, on my crutches! Was so exhausted by the end of it. Good news is, there's no complications, so no surgery, just a cast boot and crutches for at least six week @Zoe7. Then the surgeon will review and make futher plans. Amazing to see how a big day results in wanting a drink to unwind.

But I'm getting by drinking tea and smoothies.

BTW, I'm on leave for two week after tonight, so I will see you all in the later part of Feb. Good luck fasting everyone!

Re: FebFast - can we get a group together here?

@CherryBomb Good news there are no complications and no surgery. Don't forget your backpack while you are on crutches! Have a great break (no pun intended there either!!) - maybe I should have written enjoy your time off

Re: FebFast - can we get a group together here?

Good morning,

Hope you're all having a good time on FebFast and finding new ways to replace alcohol or whatever you cut out.

@Gilgamesh @Zoe7 and @Appleblossom How are you going?

@NikNik You should not feel bad about rejecting the wine, i think they should have asked you first, or is it a group where people know what you usually drink?

@Shaz51 how are you going?

@Bimby2 that's great that you're joining us!

@sherrybomb that's good news but what are your plans for your holidays? That's a bummer to be on crutches during your holidays.

@Former-Member I have "replaced" candy, sugary pastry, ice cream etc with fruit juices and fruit. Which I guess is not really cutting out sugar, but healthier than pastry. Cutting coffee out next week, dreading that one!
