    Booze Busters Easter Weekend Thread!

    Hope everyone has a great plan for a Booze Bustin' weekend. Lucky Dawgs to all who have today off work and a 3-day weekend!

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

    Frequesnt Asked Questions (FAQ):

    Q: What the sam hill is a Booze Buster?
    A: Anyone who has a serious goal of going 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 suit is worse than the 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 fall!!)

    Q: What does the Booze Beast look like?
    A: :alf:

    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 bling (thank you Liv for the bling bling word!) Collect a for every consecutive 30 days.

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

    Let's Rock it this weekend!! TGIF!!

    I'm shoutin' it out baby. Day 8 here and feeling good to have the first week of this out of the way! I'm collecting my gold star.

    TGIF!! OK - back to figure skating. It's the men's short program. It is supposed to be televised on Turkish TV station TRT-3 through the internet. But instead we are getting some program that appears to be Turkish Idol. Do we have anyone from Turkey here that could say for sure? I'm being deprived of man pant wedgies at the moment.

    Have a great AF day everyone!

              First I have to say thank you Hannah. I have most of the tar up. S**t, I should have asked sooner. I was at the Home Depot staring down the mineral spirits, but didn't buy it. Most of the tar is off with a lot of labor. Oh well. I do have some spots in corners etc. and I will certainly try the spirits. Thank you, thank you.

              Well, off to tackle day 9 and all those lovely Easter eggs.

                4th day booze free

                Good job fellow booze busters!! Tar warrior, you have a lot of patience. Bet your floor looks great when you're done. Its snowing here in the great mid-west. House full of people, it will be easy to keep busy & occupied today. I feel pretty good and have no problem sleeping (9 hours last night). This thread has been great; it's nice to have others that you're accountable to.

                HAppy Easter to all,

                On my way
                Was an alcoholic yesterday, an alcoholic today and will still be an alcoholic tomorrow..... but I'm in charge now!

                    Hi Everyone: I'm going away tomorrow. I'll manage wo/you all, but I'm going to miss you. I'm on day 50 today & feel really good about that. I'm struggling w/a prob w/one of my kids: son just got a DUI. However, I haven't let that effect my sobriety, though I admit it's been a challenge. I just have to remember that drinking makes everything worse not better. Mary

                        It's really hard to imagine how much harder this all would be without all the positive energy here to push me along. I've made 34 days AF along with the 5 fun days Bustin' out her with the Booze Bustin Crew - It's all good...Real Good!

                        Every one here deserves big hugs all around as I see a lot of determination to make these 30 days Real! Let's keep it going Booze Busters!!

                              Hello Booze Busters,

                              Day 48 for me. Can't believe it. All's well here in sunny VA.

                              Stay well everyone,
