MIL is back at rehab facility. We’ll see how it goes. Hubby had his first treatment consultation today. Tomorrow is treatment option 2 consultation. I guess we’ll see how that goes too.

Watching tv while hubby snores on the couch waiting for 9:30 when my kids go to bed, and I can go to sleep.

LA is less or low?

Pardon me, I saw the LESS in the thread 🫶. That’s great! I’m in.

@finnelljennifer ....LA means "Less Alcohol" in general for those of us who have been wandering about here for a while...LA is also a new thing since some of us have adopted the "newish" Low Alcohol wines like Kim Crawford. Whatever gets you to your personal goal of sobriety and health.
Thank you @MissMay for another month to track our accountability.
Eldest Daughter returns to Louisiana in 2 weeks so my vow to not drink while she's here expires soon. She'll be back through in July for a short stay in Maine. Should I continue to avoid the "Demon Rum" until this Fall, or just do a short quit ????????? So little Chianti, so much charcuterie....
Eldest Daughter's Darling Husband intends to retire in 4 years and build a home on Little Deer Isle. This includes a tiny home in the woods for Moi & Catpuccino. Unrequested, he's just a totally awesome person. It's within sight of the beach, and I can have a wood stove & a warm Cat, so, what's not to love ??
@NonnieDoiron ...good for you on the 0A for this month. So many challenges...keep strong.

Continuing my AF journey which began with this wonderful thread 7 (!) years ago. I've tried Less Alcohol, more alcohol and everything in between. What is working for me NOW ( I can't address the future, just today) is none. I really do enjoy 1, 2 at the most, 00 beer at the end of the day. And of course all the different mocktails. I sometimes miss my wine but since I have no off button, it is best that I have zero. Besides, it was literally doctor's orders to not drink at all. I will have blood work in a couple months to see if there is any change in my liver enzymes. Best of luck to each of you to achieve your personal goals!

I'm in. I don't know what I am joining, but after May got somethings back on the rails, keep copious amounts of alcohol at bay seems like a good thing to continue.

Need to figure out how to avoid it in social situations. That is my downfall.

Same. I'm good at home...finally, but out in the world is a totally different beast.

Here for June and hopefully it will be better than May. Got off the ship yesterday and drank wine last night. Now it's out of the house because I drank it all, so moving forward...lol.

I almost got a glass of wine at dinner. I walked today, so it would have been within my goals to have one. However, I opted out.

I start my new job tomorrow. Lots of orientation and training. I’m thankful God provided the opportunity because our family needs the income, but I’m very upset I have to go back to work.

Thanks @forestdweller1 for the support.

I'm about to be 0 for 5 because I'm probably drinking tonight. Stress is my middle name right now.

I’m sorry you’re stressed. I can empathize.

I sent my husband to the store tonight because I forgot to buy milk yesterday and knew if I went I would buy a bottle of wine.

I hope it gets better for you.

Thank you, Nonnie

Correction. I went to my grandbabies’ dance recital and drove straight home without buying wine. I’m sipping my sparkling water. Yay, me!!

Quick check in - survived a mini heat wave here with lots of sparkling waters in my ball jar with lemon slices. Getting ready for our road trip to the PNW that starts on Saturday! Planning for a Stella NA tonight.
