Congratulations Sarah...I wish you good luck. Once you get through this month, you won't have to worry about continuing your sobriety because it takes approximately 28 days for something we do to become a habit. So, by the end of the month, your old habit will be replaced with the changes you make this month. This is how I managed to quit smoking years ago. I told myself that I can do anything for 30 days. so in those 30 days, I used different tactics whenever I got the urge to have a cigarette. By the end of the month, my new habit had been firmly replaced by the new activities. I'm not saying you will never have the urge for a drink now and then, but it won't be often, and you'll just need to confidently tell yourself that you are not a drinker (you can start doing that now whenever you get the urge). I'm sure you're going to succeed. Remember that Jesus is walking right beside you, so rely on His strength.
Amen
I did the whole month of October without a drink and even when went out i only had 1 drink and then just didn't feel I wanted to anymore so went home so even though when i feel stressed i say I need a drink when it actually comes to drinking now my body isn't wanting it as much, or maybe my body is saying I don't really need it as much as my mind is saying I do, as just don't feel as inclined to drink anymore as been that long without a drink it's more a treat than a habit now
Dear God,
We come to You with open hearts, lifting up Sarah in this moment of struggle and hope. You know her pain, her courage, and her desire to heal. Wrap her in Your love and protection. When the weight of life feels too heavy, remind her that she is never alone.
Give her strength, Lord, as she walks through Stoptoberโone day at a time. Help her overcome the pull of binge drinking and find peace in sobriety. Let each small victory build her confidence and show her that change is possible.
Heal the wounds that overwhelm her mind and spirit. Replace self-harm with self-compassion. Let her feel Your presence in the quiet moments, and Your power in the storm.
We also pray for her partner. Touch his heart and mind with Your grace. Help him open up, to trust, to share, and to connect. Let their relationship be a place of mutual support, where both can grow closer to each other and to You.
May Sarah feel Your light guiding her forward. May she find peace in her journey, strength in her soul, and love in every step.
Amen

I have an addictive personality and I can relate. The smallest thing changed for me but it was actually a big thing because it is working. I use an app on my phone and track every single thing I eat, even gum and the smalles things and am honest. I weigh myself every morning and I found that I would really feel in control, when I saw the weight either stay the same or come down. I did this for a whole year once I saw results. I stopped drinking a lot because it was calories and I am sleeping so much better, I look better and most importantly I FEEL SO STRONG and healthy. I am making more friends and actually more successful in relationships. Sounds crazy. but it worked for me. Sharing. Thinking of you.
