    One thing I always find with not drinking is my skin looks so good. Even when I moderate pretty well my skin is not as nice as when I don’t drink at all.

    Everyone always says this but meanwhile my skin doesn't improve no matter what I do :(

    @laurenq1991 Give it some time. Remember, our skin is an organ. Your liver won't look it's best in a few weeks from abstaining either. It takes a while. Our skin is the organ we wear on the outside and can see it. After I had been drinking and looked terrible I thought,"Good God, what do my organs that I can't see look like?" A sobering thought. Anyway, today in the grocery store the clerk said to me, "Do you get the senior discount?" Which you have to be 60 to get. I am 55. I was thinking, "^&*! you, thanks for ruining my day!" but I politely just said, "Not yet!" I am going to drag my butt back to the gym next week and keep it up this time.

    Meh,sometimes store clerks are just dumb,I had a girl ask me the same question a few years back and I was only 37! I just looked at her baffled, plus people in their 20's always think everyone looks old,Happy Friday all!

    TGIF everyone! Ready for the weekend. It's been a loooong week! The plan is to take my kids skiing if the weather isn't too cold. Just need to get out of the house and do something.
    I'm feeling a little lonely/sad today. Been entertaining the idea of going to the brewery after work for a few beers. I'm missing that social aspect of being out and about, conversing with the locals and meeting new people. But, I know how i'll feel afterwards if I do that, so I won't, but I really, really want to.
    How am I only 32 days AF???..... seems so much longer.

    Congrats on day 32~ feels like longer doesn’t it? :D
    Yes, I can relate to being bored and lonely when your routine involved alcohol socially. It’s hard to be the only one not drinking but as so many on this thread have said, that feeling passes and eventually you don’t think about it. Not sure when that will happen, but it will.
    Have fun skiing! Such a lovely sport to share with the kids. Xo

    Morning!

    After dry January and my mishap on Super Bowl Sunday, I was hesitant on drinking wine yesterday with my husband on Valentine’s Day. He could have cared a less if I drank or not, thus, no pressure. I have had a pretty much dry February as well. I changed my attitude knowing that my limit was two glasses and that’s that! I enjoyed my two glasses and didn’t want more, which is a huge win. I was mindful of my drinking and didn’t want to go down a bad path. It feels great to feel responsible and not let alcohol control the night. I am going back to AF reiterate my healthy habits!

    I am going to workout this morning and golf with husband this afternoon. Awesome, feel great!

    Love the quote about alcohol not controlling the event! Hope golf went well!
