    July:
    AF - 0
    A - 30

    I do plan on being AF tomorrow. I have a doctor appointment on the Thursday. So, hopefully I'll have one AF day in July...Yippee 😀

    Hopefully the August thread will be easy to find!

    Just for you @SurferGirl1982

    I 100% agree with @womona. 1 sip less is counted as drinking LESS. Those sips can eventually add up to one glass. Fingers crossed for a good appointment.

    Celebrated with two glasses of wine last night… we are getting a bigger boat!!! We’ll be able to sleep out on the new one, and most importantly, has an enclosed head! (Bathroom for all you landlubbers!)

    Congrats on the bigger boat. I had to laugh at you describing what a head is. No more peeing off the stern (back of boat, LOL)

    Last day of July!

    Many of you did outstanding with your month of less A in any amount! Great job 👏

    To wrap up July, I did achieve more AF days than last month but still less than my set goal.

    But, last night I loosened the reins and after having a huge glass of low alcohol wine I opened a nice red and had half the bottle!
    It was my first red this month so the little devil on my shoulder gave full permission. Well, it did taste wonderful, and now I have the other half of bottle sitting there. Will not be finishing it tonight however.

    See you on the August thread!

    July Goals minimum days:
    AF days - 16
    A days- 15

    Final stats for July:
    AF days - 11
    A days - 21

    @Womona congrats on the new boat! That is so very exciting! I am going to check out the app you shared, as I have never used one for drinks and do like the idea of color coding.

    @chicbuc how lovely that you took a cruise with your father. My dad passed nearly 12 years ago and I wish we could have had more time together. He was sober 35 years when he did, but it was the cigarettes that did him harm.

    @tmbg1- I am envious of your awesome stats for July, So inspiring!

    @MissMay - that must have been hurtful to hear your husbands statements. Not so encouraging! Thank you for always proving your experiences with us each and every month! I know we all appreciate your support so much.

    Sounds like me 😀

    11 out of 31 days is actually 35%. Not bad!

    @Womona - I missed the app that you shared for tracking drinks with color coding.

    @surfergirl1982 I'm glad to hear that your eye appt. went well, and as others have noted, that you were able to be honest with him about your drinking. I agree with @NonnieDoiron that your doc sounds like a good doctor for the support without judgement. Sending good vibes your way for your appt. tomorrow. As for your July stats - you found this thread and you've showed up every day since then, that seems like a great first step. See you (and everyone else) in August.
    @NonnieDoiron Congrats on breaking the 180s!
    @chicbuc Sounds like you had a great time with your dad. BTW - "I did pretty darn good with the drinking until the last day" is a win - you could probably just say "I did pretty darn good with the drinking" PERIOD. Nice final July stats.
    @womona WOOHOO a bigger boat sounds awesome !!!
    @MissMay thank you for the link to the August thread, and as always, thank you for your continued support with these threads and all of the helpful info you post at the beginning of each and every one.

    @SurferGirl1982 for you and anyone else:

    The App @Womona shared is called Drink Control - I just downloaded it from the App Store. Looks like it tracks every kind of alcohol you can imagine - like!

    @SparkSpringtime69 - It seems I have been getting lucky with my healthcare team. I have some pretty good doctors. My July stats couldn't be worse. But I have been cutting down. So, I believe August will be much better.

    @Michieb125 - Thanks for the name of the app. I will check it out. I'm a bit of a numbers person. So, it sounds interesting and fun.

    See you all in the August thread 🙂
