    @Ed_Zilla One month is a very big deal! You should be proud of yourself!

    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 <3 wishing everyone a great AF day!
    @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. <3

    Question: What do you all drink if you do go to bars/clubs? Probably a dumb Q and I apologize if it's been asked a lot already.

    I am new to this and wouldn't honestly be concerned...but there's a special dj set at a bar in a couple of weeks, and I'd really like to go but it's no cover, so I feel completely weird not ordering anything at all. I'll feel less weird even getting a soda or whatever...but want ideas! Thanks in advance. (FTR the place I'm going is not fancy whatsoever and doesn't have food so it won't be like a dinner situation)

    @Ed_Zilla agree with others, 1 month is a big deal

    I was thinking today of going 3 month dry. Already did the 2 month. Can do March, April, May, get the 8-pack abs in time for summer and rock out with my bock out all summer.....hey? hey? hey!

    I don't think I was clear about my meaning. I am proud to be here at 1 month AF. What I was meaning was, even though I still have to stay focused on the AF goal, there are so many more positives that I never knew existed 1 month ago, that it is just much easier to stay AF at 1 month than on Day 1 or week 1.

    I drink whatever...In that situation, trying to blend in, I would drink club soda with limes or diet anything with limes. Adding the lime makes it look more like a "cocktail"

    @ElC_76 Great point ! I loved reading it. I now that you are evolving (we all are) and occasionally if we stumbled, it won’t derail us. Sounds like you have worked things out in your mind. It makes life simpler when you set boundaries and self-reflect. Like I said we are always evolving <3
