    I am so disappointed and angry. If you recall, I have been eagerly awaiting my blood results for liver and kidney. I got my high cholesterol results, but when I talked to the doctor's office, they said "oh sorry" we forgot to order those liver tests. I said I've been AF for over 47 days just to get my liver and kidney tested. They said, "Well let's try again in a month.".

    I know it was worth being AF, but I wanted a tangible "reward" for my efforts. I wanted to see in print that I am doing well. Sigh...

    I agree with @xbowhunter!!! Think of all the benefits your body is feeling!

    2 months plus 12 days AF done.

    @xbowhunter, well said and you are right that alcohol is a poison. Even diluted and marketed in elegant bottles or cool packaging, it's a toxin and a bad one.

    @RubyRed427 oh no, that is disappointing but hopefully this allows for more time to get scores even lower. My doctor forgot the cholesterol test LOL. I had the slip and looked up the test name on the lab website and saw that lipid panel wasn't part of the comprehensive test they sent me for so yeah I had to call up the receptionist who then ordered the right test for me (yes, the receptionist!!!).

    @renae149 good to hear you also take it day by day.

    Another day in the books. I have been back in my sewing room making memory pillows for Christmas. Something to pass the time. Maybe I can get myself back into exercise as a new habit!!

    Hit the big 60 days alcohol free yesterday and feeling amazing!

    Just wish I would have quit for good sooner in life.

    Been pretty busy lately. Working my 8hr desk job then working on my daughter's home renovations for 4hrs per day and most weekends but I enjoy helping her out and keeps my hands and mind busy. :)
