@Fitness327wk Most of us have been there. I get argumentative as well with my husband when I have been drinking. I could not agree more with Ruby Red...we think,"Oh whats the harm in a couple? And then we remember all the reasons we wanted to quit". I cannot handle any amount of liquor anymore. Even one glass of wine will lead to that 2 am racing heartbeat. The last time that happened to me I thought I would surely die. It was beating so fast and erratically. Scary.
Thanks, Lorraine for the reminder of just live in the present and the now. That's all we really have, isn't it?
Have a great Saturday everyone. We will be doing our taxes, yuck. In the past this usually ended with a celebratory trip to the bar. Not today. Maybe the bakery for a cupcake

Ugh just did the taxes but

I 💜 doing taxes.2

It doesn’t help that your spouse drinks. Recipe for disaster or in my case divorce. I had to stop drinking and my first wife thought alcohol was the center of all social activities. We parted ways about a year after I had my last drink. 21 years ago.
My current wife does not drink.4 -

I am an engineer, so I do get along well with “the numbers.” But WTH happened to the tax code?! Explain Qualified Business Income to me please. TaxAdvisor.com has 27 pages of examples 😳

I've decided with Spring right around the corner that I need to be done with the sweets. I've got to step it up. After a massive amount of food yesterday, (shrimp and grits at brunch, gummy bears at my sisters, M & M's for Oscar viewing) I am going to eat clean and get my act together starting today. Wish me luck. 7

Haven't been commenting in here lately, but i'm still around! 6 weeks AF tomorrow. I've been surviving get togethers with friends, whom alllll drink. But they seem to respect my decision, so that's been really helpful.
Also, it's been FREEZING cold around here and snow, snow, snow, so that makes it easy to NOT want an ice cold beer! Lol. A hot toddy sounds good tho.....😏😆 hahaha, nah, i'll stick to my coffee!
Have a wonderful week everyone.9 -

ANOTHER snow day
Today would have been my last catch-up day for work I rebooked from the past 2 storms and then back to normal schedule tomorrow, or so I was hoping. Therefore, I`m somewhat ticked that it`s all messed up again r-r-r-r-r-!!
Do I have any control over the weather...??? N...O!! What can I control? I refuse to be ticked & waste my day off stewing...about something I have no control over....!!!
I have a comfortable, peaceful, warm home and a loyal canine companion to keep me company and part of a book that I want to work at finishing so I can start a new book that is waiting patiently for me, an adult coloring book that I can continue to color in and a tub that I`m filling with very warm water to soak my cares away....Life`s tough, eh?? LOL

WOOHoo! Congrats on your 6 weeks of AF living! It is helpful when others don`t push you to drink. Makes the journey more bearable. Happy for your success 5 -
@JenT304 I'm hearing both of you girls!! It`s like your "preaching to the choir." Not to make excuses, but this time of year is the absolute worst for motivation especially if depression is a fact of life...Hoping the best for both of you and also for me...it`s a struggle, but it helps being in this together and supporting each other.I'm with you Jen,my eating has been bad ever since the holidays and it seems I just kept holiday eating going time to clean up my act! Ed_zilla one month is fab wishing everyone a great AF day!
