    Will you guys be doing this in June? I want to have a dry June! I have plans to go to Nebraska/SD the end of July to see family I haven't seen in more than 20 years, and to meet a first cousin I was just matched with on Ancestry. She was adopted out and I was her key to her Bio father connection. It's extremely exciting! So I want to lose what weight I can! I also was just diagnosed with Occipital Neuralgia, and I'm tempted to try a nerve block, but I would much rather stop drinking and see if that with give me enough relief.

    Before we switch over, let us know how you did for May.
    Then, join us on the June thread. And let us know your goals for the new month.

    My May was pretty bad after a nice AF streak in April that ended May 6 with ONE glass of wine at a play. Unfortunately I don’t think I can give myself any “passes” at this point.

    My intention is for a dry June as I prepare to go out to work after telecommuting for 20 years (yikes!). My new job begins in August and I intend to concentrate on self care in June and July (including AF living) in preparation so that I look and feel my best.

    My last day in my 2-decade editing job is this Thursday and I’m not going to attempt to be AF until my lady-of-leisure months begin Friday. I’m glad this group will be here!

    I had 20 out of 28 alcohol free days in May. My Dry January app says I saved $350, 11,000 calories, and cut down 180 units this month.
    Overall, I am pretty happy with my month. And since the start of the year I remained AF for 142 days and saved $2487.
    I am planning on 30 days of AF this new month BUT I will give myself a pass two times.


    Could you share what the name of your app is. I tried looking for my dry app. Thank you.

    My second granddaughter, Cara, was born today. My daughter, my son in law and their first daughter who is not even 2 yet, need me too, and they need me sober. In the list she left me ( I am caring for the toddler while they are in hospital) it said, "please do not drink". Well, talk about feeling shame. I didn't say one word about it. I have never drank while watching her child but my daughter has seen me tipsy enough times that she thought to put that on the list. It's humbling and mortifying and I am glad she wrote it down for me to see. I'm watching videos and reading my books and doing the work. I have to get this monkey off my back once and for all though after seeing that I have ZERO desire to have any.

    Congrats Jen! A new beautiful baby in the family! You have great motivation to quit!
