BOOZE BUSTERS - Week of 7/7 - 30 Day (A)bsolutely (F)abulous Hangover Free Challenge!

[Doggygirl]

Happy Monday all you Booze Busters out there!!
(and Happy Tuesday to our New Zealand Booze Busters and anyone else in the way out time zones!)

On-going Booze Busters, go to the next post! For anyone new, here's what us Booze Busters are all about.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):

Q: What the sam hill is a Booze Buster?
A: Anyone who has a serious goal of staying Hangover Free (HF) (=Alcohol Free (AF)) for 30 days in a row, no matter what.

Q: Do I have to join at the start of the month?
A: NO!! Your "Day 1" can be at any time. And if you are already into your first month or your hundredth month AF, you can join at any time. All who desire to be AF for at least 30more CONSECUTIVE days are welcome.

Q: Why are you being such a hard a$$ about 30 consecutive days AF?
A: Because that's how tough I have to be on myself to succeed, and this challenge is meant to be "tough love" when it comes to the goal.

Q: What if I fall off the wagon - do I get kicked out?
A: NO!! We do hope you will let us help you dust off the seat of your pants, and drag you right back onto the Booze Busters wagon. You will get your butt kicked, but you won't get kicked out. Oh - and we have a Fugly Green Suit you have to wear for a day during your butt kickin'. That polyester green suit with high water pants is worse than the butt kickin'. Give back your stars and bling and start over at Day 1 (for purposes of this challenge).

Q: What if I am tempted to drink - really really badly tempted?
A: Come here for a kick in the seat of the pants! Read inspirational threads from start to finish, and if the desire to drink still exists, scream for help in the "Need Help Now" Section and yell for someone to join you in chat. (I wish I had done all that before the falls!!)

Q: What does the Booze Beast look like?
A: Is one ugly SOB

Q: How does the group keep track of what day people are on?
A: We count on YOU to shout out your stats loud and proud every day in whatever way suits you. For me, I'm collecting a star * for every AF day out of due respect for my inner child. At 30 days, collect your (thank you Liv for the bling bling word!) Grab a shiny gold for every consecutive 30 days. SHOUT OUT YOUR OWN MILESTONES so we can help you celebrate!

Speak up if you have other questions!! We are here to prove that WE CAN DO THIS! And that we can have a little fun while we're doing it! Let us know if you have suggestions as to how we can improve the BOOZE BUSTERS 30 Day Perpetual Challenge.

hi All boozer busters,

Cindi.. its good to see you jumping on the thread and feeling great. you know im feeling great to!
DG...did you enjoy cleaning yor bathroom? or did you just do whatever? that sounds a bit like me what ever! Wow looks like you have loss a lot of weight.well done.
Hannah...good luck on the three days tournament you can do it just say that small word NO.
Aunty Mame...that red curry sounds really nice is that with fish?
Marshy...i've been watching a bit of tennis as well, that young british girl is good.
Greeneyes.... well done 3wks AF, and welcome aboard.
Sheepish....it ok to feel confused. when i first start in october did not know weather i was coming or going. i started the ODAT thread then started nov fireworks thread (30days AF) i did not straight away did my 30days until i realize what i really wanted, and how bad AL was really making me feel. So i started a second 30days thread boozer buster as a back up for myself if that makes sense. If you feel you can moderat that is good the doors are always open for you here if you need us.

my son really enjoyed his prom didn't come home til the next day in the afternoon...had a shower and went back out again come back home in the evening. i didn't take any photos but im glad someone did. i will post it on the post below.

Take Care everyone i have not mention.

Hello Doggygirl, Cindi, Greenie, and Teardrop!!!!!
I came here to check out Teardrops photos of her son. She told us about them on another thread.
I'm glad I came to check them out!!!!!

I'd like to join you all! I just completed my first 30 days AF in June (actually had 32). I was going to decide whether to stay AF or try to moderate. I celebrated a little over the fourth of july. It wasn't as much fun as I remembered it to be. Truthfully, a big big waste of money. So, I am back to being AF. This sounds like where I want to be. Straight forward, honest, but fun. Today is day 2 for me. So, here we go....

Teardrop! Your son is adorable!! Thanks for sharing your photos.
DG- I know I said this in a post a long time ago, but I love your Beagle. He is adorable, too!!!!!! I used to have one and I miss him a lot.
I am glad to be on board with you all. I look forward to having some fun.
Have a great Monday. I am off to get my house back in order after the weekend Holiday company.
Toodles.

Hi BBers
Happy BB Monday. Thanks for all of your kind words while I try and chase my spinning head around the room. I guess if it is causing this much consternation then AF is probably a better place from which to contemplate a solution. I would like to stay here as I really like you all, if you don't mind my crazy ramblings once in a while.

Teardrop- your son is so cute. You must be very proud.

Greenie- isnt this your 21 day salute and your 3 big fat glorious booze free WEEKS in a row? I think you may have typo'd there sister and want you to get your due props!

Cindi- so glad you have found something that is keeping your pain at bay.

Mame- how is NZ? i have been there many times and LOVE LOVE LOVE it. You live in the most beautiful country on earth.

Louise- thinking of you, hows it going

Hannah and Pamina- thank you for your words of support

and Doggy Girl- thank you for being the BB Rock of Gibraltar. Your enthusiasm is such a joy. And you are doing great. 47 days...

have a great Monday all-

-a thankful Sheep
