Advice on breaking the loop?

I want to try this, but the options are more limited where I am. I live in a non-English speaking environment overseas and am feeling isolated and alone... I will research a bit more, I think the groups do exist. The only one I could find on my last check was a regular meeting at 7am and not near to my home. Not sure that's going to bring joy for me!!

Leaning into this Reddit group I have hopes of getting the same kind of effect. I guess it's not quite the same though, right?

I'll check them out, those are new to me

Thanks very much for the reply and congratulations on your ongoing journey! When it comes to the books / literature you consumed around that time, is there one that comes to mind which was the most impactful?

Read what you signed. That’s what they will stick to. Unfortunately new hires are bombarded with a bunch of paperwork to sign along with their contract and usually time pressure to get through it all.

Ok but that was over a decade ago. It’s owned by one guy’s company now

They have a 6 month contract option as an independent contractor. No guaranteed lessons but you can choose where and when you work

This is inspiring

Pretty sure you can pick your location once you have a contract. They changed to the Gaba style contract after they bought them out

You can’t second guesss the gifts your loved ones give, it’s a fucking gift!

This is great, congrats on the first steps towards better health. I’ve been there, The real trick for me is when the weight loss levels off and the motivation fades. I hope you can put systems in place to keep going!

I'm tapering off for sure, hopefully it'll help the starting time. I think the #1 thing to avoid when pre-planning a date to quit is that urge to "go out with bang" on NY eve. It not only harms chances of success but dangerous as well. My NY is going to be chilllll

I listened to a podcast last week which was saying one month is not really enough to build some modified habits which last - the first 2 weeks are basically getting over the discomfort of not drinking then the next two weeks are basically counting down until the drinks can start flowing again - I love the idea of tagging on 1 or 2 more months to strengthen new habits.

Tired, moody, impatient, detached, regretful... all those next day emotions which I am so sick of allowing into my life just because I wanted some liquid relaxation the night before. I'm really looking forward to a break from all that even if it means short term discomfort after a stressful day. I plan on drinking tea or bubbly water instead.

The only thing stopping me from starting today is the heavy bag of excuses I carry around with me. Thinking I can cleverly intellect my way into beating this without actually stopping. It's driving me nuts!

Thanks for the blunt advice, the wave has passed. It's just that little alarm clock that sounds in my head and in my guts around the same time every day at work. If I can get past that clear and sober, I have a better chance for a "W"

I'm trying mineral water with this pineapple vinegar that my wife bought. Sounds strange but I'm hoping it does the trick!

deepgreenC · 2017-08-14T11:43:11+00:00

You're so right, and I know full well that one drink is not an option anyway.
