WELCOME TO REGULAR & NEW POSTERS! This thread is full of encouragement & suggestions. New people, welcome! We encourage you to jump in. One day, one hour, one minute at a time is easier to handle than a week, etc. Lurkers, join in
Our goal is 21 days Binge Free (studies show 21 days to break old habits & start new ones!). Whether we make 21 or one, the point is to learn as we go, replace binges with other things to help us through stressful times. Some days are harder than others & we may slip; that's OK. The Binge Monster is in the shadows waiting to pounce. Hopefully this thread provides inspiration, courage, & support to become a Binge Survivor!
You may see different folks on different "Cycles." A Cycle is a 21 day block of consecutive binge-free days. Stay with us for as many cycles as you'd like.Everyone's definition of a BINGE is different. The Oxford Dictionary defines a binge as a spree of eating and drinking. To many of us, BINGE is defined as "eating without dignity." The dictionary defines "dignity" as a calm and serious manner or style, showing suitable formality or indicating that one deserves respect. Only you can define what a binge is for you. Going over points, as long as it was done with dignity and journaled (thereforeacknowledged and "owned") isn't binging--it is up to you to decide.
SPECIAL THANKS TO LESLIE5609 for starting this challenge on the Out of Control Board, in August '02, and thanks to all who keep it going

Today is DHβs birthday. Weβre off to the Brewdog Hotel after my last class at 12:30. Iβm looking forward to a few hours of downtime and a change of scenery.
Nancy, you got a nice amount of activity yesterday. You have lots to look forward to :-)

BFFs: Some sad news to report. Lori's Mom had a stroke last night. On the positive side, they got her to the hospital in time for stroke medicine to work. They are hopeful for a full or close to full recovery. I know we'll all be anxiously awaiting further updates when Lori has a chance to catch her breath. Needless to say, our get together has been postponed.
Jan - Sounds like a lovely getaway. Enjoy!
Kathy - What a horror. Without reading your message in full. I was thinking "this on top of the drought". Your town doesn't get a break, does it? I'm sure it's heart breaking for all concerned.

Day 162. Very late check in, heh. Going strong - grateful.
Kathy: I saw that horrible news about the fire. I'm so sorry.
Nancy: If you talk to Lori, please tell her we're thinking of her and praying for her mom.
