Less Alcohol - NOVEMBER 2020 - One Day at a Time
Replies
-
I am Dawn and live in South East British Columbia. I am 60.
My goal remains the same as it has been for quite some time, 16-20 AF days per month.
I check in diary style. It works for me.
Monday Nov 23 - AF - Early morning and fairly long day tomorrow. Anyway, I had been breaking my own rule for myself, not having 2AF days in a row.
Tuesday Nov 24 - Drinks. Apparently my self control is not that in gear over the last week. I will get to my 16-20.
Wednesday Nov 25 - AF - Had to get to that 16 although I was really craving an Espresso Bailey's with Apricot Brandy mixed in. It is not going anywhere, I can have it another day.
Thursday Nov 26 - Drinks. Lots of calories still left over, very active day with my morning workout, a trip to another town for skating etc. Not sure what is up with me, I have definitely had more AF days in the past 11 months. Hoping to get at least a couple more AF days before the month is out.
Friday Nov 27 - AF - Aiming for at least one more AF day this month.
Saturday Nov 28 - Drinks. The weather cooperated and I got my last garden bed cleaned out, bucket of carrots, and a few beets. It was +3 celsius, so I was able to get the shovel through it all. Mixed in a bucket of compost, a bucket of sand and then covered it in thick black plastic until the spring. I think that I rewarded myself with drinks.
Sunday Nov 29 - AF - Tomorrow will be too.
Rolling total. 18AF days out of 29 days5 -
Did great this weekend, AF till Christmas Eve. I need for those AF savings to go towards presents anyways. See you all in December!6

Love reading all your holiday posts! IN for Turkey to Santa (and maybe to Easter Bunny--who knows?) alcohol break. I'm recovering from...I don't know what exactly (combined with a UTI). So TGiving, we started cooking. Then had some wine/Champagne (actually from Champagne). Next thing I knew I was puking violently...from TGiving afternoon through the night. Throat sore and feeling like death the next day, DH told me I drank a whole box (min-Bota box) of wine. He said he didn't even see me. I said I didn't even see me either. He couldn't wake me up from the couch. But when I felt the wine box afterwards, it was 2/3 full (and opened night before). So I have no idea. But if I didn't have a history of blackouts, I would know it wasn't alcohol. But I don't know that. I love mysteries, but not when they involve me :-)5

Way to go@LoveyChar!!! You are an inspiration!!!3

Oh @mainelylisa you must have had a touch of the notorious Northern Flu. It happens when you are shut off from the rest of the world up beyond Skowhegan. The air is thinner up there you know!? Glad you are walking up right again and still have that great sense of humor. No more mysteries.2

Back at it today! I'm hoping to really kick butt over the next 3 weeks. My birthday is Dec 18th, as a mini goal, I'd like to lose 5 lbs by then. & I know cutting back on my drinking should help!
Goal: 5 AF days / week7 -

@brittgreenlikethecolor88 that is a very realistic goal of 5 pounds in 3 weeks. Yippe a bday party over on our new December thread. Love birthdays!3 -
I want to say thanks for your responses to my posts. Having other people that are in the same boat as me with booze really is a help. Every one seems to be making up different goals, I will to. On even days for right now I will have 5 beers out of my nightly 6 pack. On odd days I I will allow myself the 6 beers, if I dont drink them all bonus round.
November was tough. Bad hangovers are tougher. I will take November over hang overs6 -
Couple of 7&7 this evening. Tossed the strawberry daiquiri mom's poker group made me after a sip ... it just didn't taste worth it. Very poor ingredients ... not like @dawnbgethealthy concoctions!
Finished November and met my goal for AF days but not my limitation when drinking. Now on to December!
