I have passed the 3 week mark on AF consecutive days. Can't recall when my last long streak like this was.
All I know is I am digging it! And my shorts feel looser. YAY

@chicbuc I avoided it, and I had a fantastic weigh-in: 195.2 last Monday and 191.4 today! I am so happy!
I was able to put my wedding ring on, but I know my finger is not thin enough to wear it all the time. So, I’m holding off for now.
AF - 6
A - 2

Went to the grocery store yesterday and ended up by the wine aisle last. I literally almost ran out of the store to keep from buying that bottle

@chicbuc oh my gosh......I did not mean to, but I really had an out loud chuckle at your post. Control is control no matter if your walking or running from it. Good choice!
OMG me too!!!!!!!

@NonnieDoiron what a pretty ring! Great you can get it back on your finger. At least you know you can wear it for special occasions.
You are all doing way better than me. No AF days in a few months, and I haven’t been doing that great with limiting alcohol, especially on the boat. One day we went out to both brunch and dinner, and of course I had 2 mimosas and one glass of wine. Last night I didn’t drink that much at book club, maybe the equivalent of one glass of wine. I’m going to do that again tonight.
Back at the exercise this week, it really helps make my pants feel looser!
Stay cool everyone, it’s a hot one!4 -
If you're considering drinking less, it's all about finding what works for you.
Whether it's cutting back gradually or going completely alcohol-free, every step counts.

@MissMay Congrats on your long string! That's great!
@NonnieDoiron Fantastic news and beautiful ring! Great job!
@Womona Your alcohol days look good, though. I could never drink just 1 glass of wine. That is healthy!

Ya’ll!! I love my husband, but he is tempting me like crazy right now on this high stress period of my life! He bought another bottle of wine yesterday. I didn’t even see it until this morning. 🙄 I don’t get what part of “I’m not trying to drink as much” he doesn’t understand. 🙁
Ok… goal for this bottle of wine… save it for this weekend because BFF is supposed to come for a visit, only drink if she’s drinking, and maximum of 2 glasses when I do drink.
One of these days… POW!!! Right in the kisser!!🤣🤣4 -

@NonnieDoiron Stick to your guns. Nice of hubby, but sometimes they don't get it.
I'm not doing so great. I wasn't going to drink. I wasn't. Monday we went out to dinner with family, and I did drink wine. Then yesterday, hubby was taking some of his stuff out on me and I got frustrated and bought wine. Ugh. I know that's no excuse, but it's how I cope even though I don't want it to be how I cope. I still have some left IN THE HOUSE, too, so I will finish that off tonight and then freaking do this. Again.

This has been my exact writing in the past, so often with my husband. I totally understand your frustration. I had gotten to the point where I was wondering was it his love for me or was it sabotage on his end. I came to the conclusion he likes to have a drinking companion. And his theory is "OHhhhhh one won't hurt".
Hang tight, and sub a nice AF drink in a fancy stemmed glass to trick HIS brain. Sight is a powerful thing.5 -

July:

I'd love to join the group - had a rough time limiting the A this past holiday weekend, and I don't want to totally derail my goals! Summer is hard b/c you feel like you should be relaxing... same with holidays and weekends

@chicbuc, I get it! I said it last month and I’ll say it again… I drink because others are drinking, I drink because I’m stressed, I drink because I’m angry, I drink because I’m sad, I drink to relax, and I drink to celebrate. If I had a body that could tolerate it and all the money in the world, I’d probably stay drunk 24/7. But, have have neither!
@MissMay, I have yet to figure out what hubby is doing. Last time I asked him why he bought it for me when I didn’t ask, and he said, “because I love you.” We don’t typically drink together because he’s usually asleep when I’m drinking. I have told him I’m not drinking as much. I’ve told him I’m proud of my progress and ability to refrain. In the past, we’ve had knockdown, dragout fights about my drinking. Now, he’s buying me wine without asking. It’s frustrating for sure!
Going to go ahead and log tonight as AF as motivation to NOT open that bottle.
