    @Alzzi76 I think if you need a break, then take a break; you don't need to deactivate from MFP.
    But I really feel that we need you and your cheerful spirit.
    And perhaps, you need us too. Let's continue on this journey together. :)

    JulieAL1969, have you read Gabor Mate's book, "In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts"? I think that you would really appreciate so much of what he has to say. xo!

    Hi! I would like to join the group. My moderation goal is to drink 3 days or less a week. How do I join?

    You already did!
    I personally find that reading this thread regularly is best to stay on track. And posting wins and losses helps. You found a great group of supportive people

    I’m going to try to keep it to one night a week. Currently I drink Friday night, Saturday night, and sometimes part of Sunday.
    I think my overall energy during the week will benefit from cutting down to only one night

    That's sound a plan :) remembering if u do slip up i suggest drink plenty of water and theres always the new day, fresh start ahead.

    I am just starting and I am planning on a dry March also.
    Back in for May. The slippery slope definitely was in effect for me in April. This month I’m committing to really working on not drinking anything except for an occasional date night. Thanks to this thread for keeping me honest!

    Still in! Goal is AF M-Th and the equivalent of 1 bottle of wine (total) F-Sun. I went 1 drink over last week on my AF goal and 1 drink over on my weekend goal. (the weather has just been so darn beautiful!)

    One thing that I noticed was that I really thought about it before I did it. I asked myself, "Do I really want a glass of wine?" "Are you sure you want a 2nd (or 3rd) glass?" Most of the time my answer was, "Nope. I'm good." A few times it was, "yes", BUT no more mindless pouring. Looking forward to a week of good sleep and clear thoughts. Happy Monday and warm energy sent out to all!


    Just a little query.. why all the woo's.. is it suposed to b a happy thing.. :/
    We all would want everyone to feel free and comfortable and free on this thread.. i do anyway .. :)
