    @lilawolf - Congrats on the new job! Are you moving closer to where you want to live? Packing and moving is a total pain ... good luck and hope that you get settled in quickly.

    I am continuing with my usual goals, 16-20 AF days per month.
    I had 18 last month, I have had as much as 23 a few times.
    Being here with y'all gives me the accountability that I need and want.
    I was a daily drinker at one time, and gradually moved it to my current goal which I have been able to uphold for quite some time.
    I have no intention of becoming an abstainer. I enjoy my drinks, just less often, kind of like I have done with certain fattening foods.
    I do plan my drinks days for the most part, but usually it is my schedule that dictates that. Trying not to have drinks when I work the following day.
    Diary style is how I like to keep track here.


    Sunday September 26 - AF - Next planned drinks day is Friday. Busy week ahead. Hit my 16 : - )
    Monday September 27 - AF - Seem to have lost that post, can't remember what I might have said.
    Tuesday September 28 - AF - Working splits, quite tired.

    Rolling Total - 18AF days out of 28 days.

    So I purchased some AF Whiskey yesterday and will try it in the next few days. I really hope I like it.

    Thank you @MissMay for your commitment to keep this thread going each month

    Today I spent most of the day helping my mother and will get her set up with a new phone tomorrow....

    @Lilylady3k I can't thank you enough for your post on Live for your Children.

    Friends, I am going away on my hiking trip. See you all in a few weeks hopefully with good pix and good stories. My adult kids are living in my house and in charge and that is scary! Let's hope for the best.

    My goal during vacation is to limit drinking time to dinner. When food is done, drinks stop. 2 is the target.

    @lilawolf - guess what? Never in my life did I not eat until 3pm. Yet today I did! My appetite turned off. I was fine! Thank you for showing me that these things are possible. And as @MissMay has stated, it's all in what the mind believes. Truth speaks.

    @Tito_Tim - I agree I did not lose weight for my kids when they were young. But now I'm trying to be healthy and mobile. I am doing this for me this time ... losing weight.
    But you know the less alcohol ... I think I'm doing it for them as well as me. I don't want to be that alcoholic grandmother that I had when I was growing up. :)

    Selfish is not a bad thing! Good luck with efforts!

    AF this evening! Made my 12 ... though it was steak night and DH opened a nice red wine (I passed). Feeling good about my choice this evening.

    September accountability: 12/29 days AF
    Alcohol: 17 days (34 drinks)
    Goal: Limit 1-2 glasses per day; 12-16 AF days per month. Aim to drink no more than 2 nights in a row.

    Wednesday September 29 - AF - Up late but still waking up too early. Trying to adjust. A drink or two would have been nice, but my planned day is Friday, so I didn't. Hitting 20AF days will be good : - )

    Rolling Total - 19AF days out of 29 days.
