Got to our cabin for our vacation today, so I'm going to post here to close out the month and then go back to tending my simmering octopus. I got my 15 AF days in, but my drink tally was a bit high. I think next month there will be fewer AF days but also fewer drinks. It's a lot easier to open a bottle of wine and tell myself I'll finish it tomorrow and the next day rather choosing to drink ALL the wine because the next couple of days are supposed to be AF. Naturally, November is starting off with a vacation and a weekend with a friend, then ending with a holiday, so who knows how things will really go. Lots of practice at setting limits and sticking to them ahead.
I may or may not actually join the November thread. There's a lot going on and I'm feeling like I've been a little too public with it all right now. Best of luck to all of you, you're lovely people.5 -
@chocolate_owl Join us if you’d like. I do a lot more lurking than posting. I get inspired just by reading of others’ adventures. I’ve stopped feeling guilty at not replying to everyone’s stories. Just going with the flow and found a good place to vent when needed.3

Wrapping it up. We had wine and traditional Halloween chili with pumpkin cookies for dessert. Very fun evening sitting outside with our daughter and her husband. They bought costumes for the dogs (golden doodle and standard poodle).
The neighborhood kids were in full kid spirit! Handed out our candy from 6-8pm then headed inside. I switched over to water again like last night after a few glasses.
Oct accountability: 9/31 days AF
