    Hey all, I was AF yesterday despite my hubby drinking wine. I had motivation because I was driving someone downtown and picking them up ( I was their DD). I have not had an AF day since early June. I did have to take a Lorizapam in the middle of the night because I could not sleep. My mind was racing and racing about so many things. When I checked my Fitbit this morning my sleeping heart rate was low. Hooray!

    Hello @LowTechForever and @RubyRed427,

    Well, I had alcohol yesterday. Two, 16 oz beers and FIVE mixed drinks! I also ate too much. I'm going to use today to rest, reflect and "dry out" and will restart my Sober Time app count tomorrow, Sunday, July 20th.

    I feel so weak in my resolve! I know that for the sake of my own health and security I must make this a permanent change.

    Thanks so much for sticking this out with me!

    On each, successive day, I will report the count for the completed day before; for example, I will post my 7/20/25 Day 001 count on 7/21/25, and so on.

    Dear Chris, @LowTechForever, I was so sad to hear about your accident but I'm very relieved that you are all okay! Did they manage to get the boot opened so you could retrieve your belongings? I hope everything turns out okay!

    Dear @RubyRed427, Great job staying AF even when your husband was having wine and congrats for being a safe DD! I know what you mean about the racing thoughts when you're trying to sleep! I call it "pinball" brain! It's even worse after a night of heavy drinking. I get what they call, "hangxiety". I don't really have it today but I'll bet my bliss pressure is up. It always spikes for 2-3 days after a binge. (I'll check it later).

    So glad the air has dried out and it's not so hot. The weather in Boston today is beautiful! I probably won't go out though, because I have a lot of housework to do. Maybe tomorrow I'll go or for a bit.

    Have a great weekend!

    💗Carole
