    Adding DABF (Days alcohol-binge free) to my tallies, and considering more than 2 drinks a binge only because that's the limit I'm giving myself. Hoping keeping myself accountable will help.

    @moxie42 So I have the same rule {2 drink maxium}. And yes fully understand the issue with alcohol and how it weakens me to the BINGE. But I cannot give up food and cannot give up a great craft beer. Both are a necessity to a healthy life for me if held to the rules. I like your new tally best of luck.

    Thanks @hillmike56 - I am really really hoping this works for me and that I can happily limit myself. I know I don't have a healthy relationship with alcohol so this is kinda a test to see if I can get things under control. Right now it's actually easier for me to go without entirely than to stop at 1 or 2 or 4... :/

    @mae918 - just wanted to say it's freakin AWESOME that you've got such an great streak going on! I know you're going through a lot right now but I hope it feels good to know that you're not letting it get in your way :) That's a huge breakthrough!

    Awesome @hillmike56 !! I overindulged last night with some rare kid-free time with my best friend (her kids...I don't have any yet), but def not a binge. I should probably get on that drink-limiting bandwagon as well!

    @Moxie42 thank you. I really appreciate that. It has been a rough time lately. Fortunately, I have always been a resilient person even while it feels like walking through hell.. my tax fraud stuff is hopefully resolved (made my claim and waiting) and I'm feeling better every day about the breakup..Takes a little time, but I'm healing.

    So that DBF is an extra motivational number you guys inspire me with. Guess I'll go back to adding it to my challenge here. And @Moxie42 I like your DABF tally if I understand it as a (2) drink minimum ... but might wait on that one too many numbers. Hey lets start Monday with a victory. Here's to a great week!

    @hillmike56 - the DABF tally of 2 was because I went two days without over-drinking but yes, 2-drinks is the limit I'm trying to stay within. Yesterday was kind of a "last hurrah" before starting a new...idk, life schedule, I guess you could say. Trying to micro-manage my time since I keep putting the most important things, like home-cooking and working out, on the back burner.

    I'm jumping on the drinking binge thing too --because that definitely sets me off with food. Also, going back to a low carb thing, beginning Saturday. Soooo... Next steps in progress!
