    What is the app everyone uses to track their alcohol?

    On the internet - Mydrinkaware
    On my NOOK - The calendar app. I track NA( no alcohol) days or use smile faces representing the number of drinks.
    Both keep me honest with myself. I want it in my face to be accountable.

    It is so exciting to see others doing the Alcohol Experiment. This book really is helpful. Although it has had it's challenging moments. So far so good though minus the one swig off hubby's. This is the first time in 10 years I have gone 3 days without alcohol.

    May 1: Goal 3/Actual 5
    May 2: Goal 3/Acutal <2 (didn't finish it all)
    May 3: Goal open/Actual, 2 wines and aunt & uncles, 3 beers when returned home.
    May 4: Goal open/Actual, 2 wines at lunch with girl friends...…..wayyy over Saturday when returning home (8).
    May 5: Goal 3/Actual 0
    May 6: Goal 3/Actual 5
    May 7: Goal 3 / Actual 4
    May 8: Goal 3 / actual 7
    May 9: Goal 3 / actual 4 beers & 2 wines
    May 10: Goal open / Actual probably one bottle of wine and a couple beers...no counting
    May 11: Goal open / Actual 4 wines
    May 12: Goal 3 / actual 3 mimosa's, wine & beer
    May 13: Goal 3 / actual AF
    May 14: Goal AF / AF. Went to dinner with friends and drank a tea. I did it! But honestly, I was so tired. I think due to not drinking. Not sure. It is interesting to watch the "buzz" levels of those drinking while we were there.
    May 15: Goal AF / 1 Drink....I mean "drink" "swig". Hubby walked by with one of my beers and I took a drink. The result, my tummy reacted. Kind of like if you'd go a week without sugar then eat a donut. It was a positive note to encourage me not to want more.

    My plan for May will be 5AF days per week.

    May 01 - AF
    May 02 - AF - planned night out for dinner, drinks, a concert Friday night the 3rd. I am okay with that, I do it seldom.
    May 03 - 1/2 litre of wine + 2 drinks! Off the rails with food too - this happens when we consume alcohol. I had a good time, but it is bad for the waistline.
    May 04 - AF
    May 05 - AF
    May 06 - AF
    May 07 - AF - really felt like having a drink just now, but came on here to record an AF day, which really helped me to abstain.
    May 08 - 3 drinks
    May 09 - AF - I have a deficit of 1900 left for today (very active day), so a couple of drinks would be within range - but - no drinking 2 days in a row, and I am going out tomorrow night and don't want a puffy face and puffy belly.
    May 10 - 3 drinks. The show was sold out that the plan was to go to. Instead, worked my butt off getting the garden going, then fell to what most people are feeling like this time of year, a few drinks on the porch after working hard in the sun. All good.
    May 11 - 3 drinks. Oop, 2 days in a row! Won't be having any over the next few days.
    May 12 - AF - barely going to squeak out my new goal of 5AF days per week.
    May 13 - AF
    May 14 - AF - Almost didn't reach my 5AF per week. Really felt like having drinks but I knew that I needed to be AF to make the goal.
    May 15 - AF - Yet another day where I really felt like having drinks, specifically a Cosmo. I kept delaying until I could talk myself out of it. Turned out well because the San Jose Sharks and St. Louis Blues went into overtime, which would have meant more drinks had I been having drinks.

    Running total: 11AF day out of 15 days so far

    May 16: Goal AF / actual 2 1/2 beers. Let myself down. I had many struggles as the afternoon and evening approached wanting a beer, or a glass of wine, but I breathed deep through them, remembered the reasons for my goal.....About 8:15 I was starting my wind down getting ready for bed, washed my face, jammies on, poured a glass of WATER, grabbed a book and sat down on the couch.....15 minutes good friends from out of state showed up. The one I hadn't seen in 15 years. They walked in holding drinks of Crown Royal (their parents live down the street ;) My brain flashed back and forth, then I gave in. Don't feel good about it, but I did it. Tonight is also going to be a big challenge. I am hosting a large get together of classmates. Not sure how I will do, but I will try my best. Have a great day everyone!

    My goals for the month are 50% days AF, and keeping it to 2 glasses the majority of drinking days.

    5/1- AF
    5/2- 2, goal of 2
    5/3- 4, no goal
    5/4- AF
    5/5- 3, goal of 2- not thrilled I had the third glass, but glad I didn’t use the fact that I’d missed the goal turn into a 4th or more.
    5/6- AF
    5/7- AF
    5/8-AF
    5/9- 1, picked up my friends from the airport and had one with them at their hotel
    5/10- lots, like 7-8- I joined the bachelorette party after work and we saw a show, hit a bar, then a club where the club gave us free drinks. It was a great time but heavier than I intended. Good news activity wise was that was lots of walking and dancing!
    5/11- 5, another bachelorette day and night, better paced than the day before.
    5/12- 2, final bachelorette day for me and went home for Mother’s Day dinner.
    5/13- AF
    5/14- AF.
    5/15- AF
    5/16- 3, “split” a bottle of wine with H
    5/17- so far AF but Fridays I usually enjoy watching modern family reruns on USA with wine- will target this being one of my 2 glass nights if I do that after putting the toddler down.

    May 17 - 3 drinks - I completely changed my weekend plans around and ended up watching the hockey game with a few drinks. Not feeling that great this morning, I will need to sweat it out with a good workout.

    I put this picture and the link to Mydrinkaware.com's article on Why have more drink free days? on my FaceBook...bet no one on FaceBook will give me a 👍. Might even have people unfriend me.

    I have yet to conquer a weekend. I was AF Monday - Thursday but by Friday afternoon I finished yard work and wanted a drink. Even after reading the Alcohol Experiment cravings and discomfort chapters I was enjoying wine all weekend.

    Instead of giving up I’m back to the plan. I’m not going to think about the holiday weekend until it’s here or I’ll just go back to drinking everyday using the upcoming holiday as an excuse. Happy tracking!

    May 20 - AF
    May 21 - 3 drinks. I actually did better when my goal was 4AF days per week, when I often had 5 or 6 AF days per week. I am going to go through May with this goal, but I might bring it back down to 4 for June, I'll see. I went from drinks 7 days per week for 6 months at the start of this, and didn't want to fail by making too huge of a goal for myself. My first goal was 2AF days per week and I progressed. Might not be ready just yet.
    Like I have said in the past, I went from eating ribs weekly (1700 calories for a good feed) to once per month, then once every few months. I am not going to never eat ribs again, nor am I going to cut out having wine with my girlfriends, I am trying to cut back like I did with the ribs.
    I am going away for 5 days where I likely won't have wifi so won't be checking in unless I don't leave until Thursday morning. Not sure if I am going to be having drinks or not while away, likely will be.
    Even after these months, it would be pretty easy to go back to drinks every day...except...for the waistline and puffy face. I really cut drinking back for those visible reasons, and will need to keep it back. Alcohol really does affect the weight and the appearance.

    Running total: 14AF days out of 21 days so far - not really reaching my goal.

    Back from vacation from California and practiced planned "mindful" vacation drinking. Wine tasting trip. No hangovers. Actually, the wine was not so good. Very acidic and sour everywhere I went. The days I had 2 mid-day and 2 with dinner, guess what - BLOATING came back. My body is telling me it does not like it........now back to my normal 1-2 a day this week until Saturday which is THE DAY I stop for 30 days (Alcohol Experiment).

    Hi all! I’ve been terrible at logging these last two weeks, and my weight is up. Plus my heart rate monitor broke so I have no idea how many calories I’ve burned through exercise. That, and binge watching shows has rendered me completely unproductive!

    Last week I drank every night, especially this past Saturday while hosting a dinner party. My plan of 2 went out the window. So, back to tracking and getting through the feeling of “I’d love a glass of wine” with my seltzer &cranberry.

    So Memorial Day Weekend is coming up. It’s such a drink-fest with all the barbecues and parties. I guess we need to treat a holiday weekend like any other day- stick to our plan.

    May 22 - had a little to drink, it was our cheat day but looking back I wish I hadn't had any because it really didnt do anything except put a bunch of extra cals into my day and dehydrate me this morning.

    Wish I knew why I associated casual drinking as a "treat" to myself for not drinking for a while. What do you all do to reward yourself?

    Today's goal, AF :)

    May 22: Goal AF / actual 3 1/2 beers. Felt cruddy all day from the 5 beers the night before. I am actually gaining SOOO Much from reading the Alcohol Experiment. My thinking towards drinking is changing....at my pace, but changing. Tomorrow night my son and his family will be coming over for game night. I plan to open the one remaining bottle of wine to be shared so I won't drink it all at another time. I want to really keep my drinking to a minimum this weekend and "feel" it, not party through it. I also want to end Monday with 0 of my favorite beers on hand so I can start Tuesday working for 30 days AF. Monday is my children's birthday, along with a very special holiday to me and my family. Memorial Day, the day when we honor my fallen uncle from Vietnam. He was my dad's only sibling, so we pay tribute to him with so much love and admiration.

    @dawnbgethealthy You say your not reaching your goal...…..I get that completely, but, when I read your May 21st comments, I am impressed. I don't think I will be able to do partial...…….at least not yet. I thought I could for about a year and never could muster it up. Have a great trip!!

    @Womona Glad to see you back! Yes, get past this typical party weekend and get back in the battle with all of our weapons!!

    @WinoGelato Enjoy your camping trip...…..all our camp area's are flooded out. Back yard bar-b-que's for us. Can't even take our new boat out...……..sooooo disappointing, but thankful for many other things.

    May 20 - AF
    May 21 - AF
    May 22 - had a little to drink, it was our cheat day but looking back I wish I hadn't had any because it really didnt do anything except put a bunch of extra cals into my day and dehydrate me this morning.

    Wish I knew why I associated casual drinking as a "treat" to myself for not drinking for a while. What do you all do to reward yourself?

    Today's goal, AF :)

    I’m the same. I’ll be good all week (so far AF Mon-Wed and plan to do so today) then Friday comes and I tell myself I’ve been so good I’ll order take out and get a bottle of wine. I need to find a non-food/alcohol related treat
