    I’m holding on to AF. On my third “cape cod” - club soda and slash of cranberry in a wine glass. Fake rosé. I would really love a real glass of wine right now, NGL. Talk about rituals!

    @mfowler883 oh man that’s hard core. I cannot do coffee without milk. I’ll die on that hill!

    December accountability: 6 days AF
    Alcohol: 7 days (15 drinks)
    Goal: Limit 2 glasses per day; 12-16 AF days per month.

    12/13 - AF; DH had bourbon and coke but I just wasn't feeling like alcohol. COVID wise we are both doing well. We didn't have any of the really bad symptoms and the rest of the family is recovering nicely.

    ANOTHER AF (as @whitpauly would say in the past)

    @SunnyDays930 your last post, was so interesting.

    I have always wondered are they cravings or just habits stored in our drinking brains.?

    Tears are good, let them flow.

    I can't believe that you are going back to work so soon! Please take care and go home if it is too much for you.

    @SunnyDays930 I always wonder why some days the craving for alcohol is out in full force, other days it’s a “might be nice, but nah “ and yet other days we don’t even want it! Good for you getting through your cravings! Oh and enjoy the concert. Bring tissues and feel the feels!

    @joans1976 good news it didn’t spread to lymph nodes! Woo hoo! Hmmm… 7 times bigger than they thought… can you get new boobs out of this at least🤪? Thinking of you as you continue your healing and the waiting game!

    @RockinRobyn672 thanks for the snack suggestion! I’m going to check it out.

    @lmlmrn do you have a date for the building closing? We are waiting with bated breath!!! No one could blame you for being a ball of stress.

    @bover145 sorry you’ve got it all going on, but good for you for giving yourself grace. That’s so important. Plus, you were able to moderate which is huge! Not a lot of people can do that.

    @mfowler883 you have GOT to show me a picture of your awesome new boots when they come in!!!!! On the food front, great job listening to your body instead of eating for the wrong reasons. Makes a huge difference!

    AF again tonight. I definitely feel better and my weight is coming down. This past Monday was rough. Methinks I was hungover which made PMS symptoms way worse! I have to have to have to HAVE TO not have more than two drinks each day this weekend. It all falls apart for me when I do.

    December accountability: 6 days AF
    Alcohol: 8 days (17 drinks)
    Goal: Limit 2 glasses per day; 12-16 AF days per month.

    12/14 - 2 wine; DH bought a few bottles of wine but not 6 to get the discount which is a positive sign

    Everyone is recovering from COVID in the family which is wonderful because I was really concerned about the youngest one ... 5 months old. But she is fine. I think DH and I had it the lightest probably because we had Omicron in the spring earlier this year and we had the new booster in September. Everyone else that got it at the wedding in the family had never had COVID before and had not gotten the latest booster but did have boosters in the spring.

    My sister though was not at the wedding but she is a teacher. She had Omicron in the spring too and had the booster in October; however she had the worse symptoms of all of us this round ... fever for days, really bad cough, fatigue, etc etc. More than likely because she is a stage 4 breast cancer survivor for the past dozen years and her lungs had been comprised. She had to take the entire week off.
