Hello LA tribe!
Wow, it’s so great to see such inspiring progress this morning and the excitement y’all bring that comes from having success along this journey.
Look what you are doing!! @Womona, @chicbuc, @itladyee and @SparkSpringtime69, @globalhiker, @MissMay, @SurferGirl1982 and others whom are all truly working hard for your personal success. We’re here in the new year - stronger together.
We all have our own stories but one thing is for certain- we’re here because we want support, encouragement and a non-judgmental and safe community as we aim for less alcohol consumption.
May you be safe, happy and healthy today.2 -

@SparkSpringtime69 7 AF days in a row. That is totally awesome! 😀
@chicbuc I was AF yesterday. But I'm going gambling later, so I know I will have something to drink. I will be joining you AF tomorrow and plan on being AF through the weekend also.
I haven't felt like posting the last couple of days. I've just had some things on my mind.
Have a great day everyone!2 -

Found this at Sprouts today!
Tasty for 35 calories-I added squeezed lime and a few drops of stevia for a bit of punch.
LOVE THIS!!!! What a lovely color that is. Enjoy2 -
Last night I poured a glass of the zero A Be Well white wine after my zero proof cosmo and had to throw it out - it had spoiled lol. The N.A. Chateau Diana white lasted much longer in the fridge. Live and learn!
AF last night and claiming AF again for today (even though it is a planned day for wine). I actually want to log a “0” day in my tracker more than I want a glass of wine day.
Current:
AF - 12
A - 8
LA - 3 (2 Prosecco or low abv%)

Hey gang haven't been in for a bit because I have been cleaning up the 8 inches of snow that fell on my FLORIDA house. Never thought I would ever be typing that sentence.
Anyhow being from Northern USA I am trudging through it fine. My house and property reminds me of the mullet hair cut(Billy Rae if you recall) The front has now no trace of snow, the back however is full blown Winter wonderland because the sun is not high enough in the sky to reach back there. It had not gotten warm enough to melt without direct sun.
Good news....still AF
110 day streak.
At 121 days that is a THRID of an entire year. Going to have to go for that min goal!!
Blow warmth my way please (in the back yard)4 -

Skipped the gym but emptied several boxes (at least 6) and that was a work out!
Made kale, Italian sausage soup for dinner and succeeded with no wine or alcohol! Everything good except water...
@Michieb125 ~ that Cosmo looks good. I found some low calorie cabernet the other day. It's 9% alcohol and 85 calories a serving.
@Womona ~ 6 oz is very good and not continuing the pour after you arrived home!! HUGE!
@chicbuc ~ You are being mindful as well. There's been a many a day where we all just drank and didn't even consider the amount or consider stopping.
@tmbg1 ~ You are doing well!!!!
@Sparkspringtime69 ~ 7 and counting!!!
@Surfergirl1982 ~ have fun gambling.
Wow @Missmay ~ I've been following lots of friends is areas that don't normally get snow and it's crazy. What even crazier... being here is the midwest, we've gotten very little!!
Great progress all! Let's all continue!!!

@chicbuc 4 glasses over 7 hours sounds like you moderated pretty well.
@womona I hope your back gets better soon - it's hard to get backs to heal up, we use those muscles whether we're sitting or standing or doing practically anything.
@SurferGirl1982 I hope you have another great win tonight. Let us know tomorrow how you did, if you're up for chatting tomorrow that is.
@Michieb125 Sorry to hear your wine spoiled, I didn't know NA wine could do that! Some day you'll have to post a comprehensive list of every NA and LA wine you've tried with your opinions on them - I know you've posted a number of them over the past few months, and I should have been keeping track, but I didn't
@MissMay we got 7 inches in SC! I'm also from up north so no big deal. But I'd like to know what's happened to the USPS - you know "neither rain nor snow nor....". We didn't get a delivery yesterday and it looks like we're not getting one today either! And my SO went to his bank around 12 noon today, and all the employees were leaving, the manager said the roads were too dangerous and they had to let the employees go home. This was THIS MORNING, not yesterday when it was actually snowing! And the main roads were clear THIS MORNING! And they had a delayed opening to account for roads this morning, 10:30am!!!!!
oops, sorry for the rant.....
Anyway what I really wanted to say to you is 110 day streak WOW and Congratulations!!!!! Sending some warmth to your backyard, and to you as well for all you do for us.

@itladyee sounds like you had a wonderfully healthy day, and did double duty with the workout/box emptying.
I almost went to the store and picked up wine today - I had to fight off cravings a couple of times this afternoon. Then, at one point, I realized it wasn't necessarily wine I wanted, it was just that I'm sick of drinking diet pepsi all afternoon. Then I remembered I had some Fever Tree pink grapefruit sparkling water, and am now sipping on my second bottle of that.
I know I learned about Fever Tree from someone here a few months ago, and I'm sorry I can't remember who it was, but whoever you are, thank you for mentioning it, this stuff is really delicious. I also picked up the Light Tonic Water, but drank that up weeks ago. The only problem with this stuff is that the bottles are so small, I wish they'd bottle it in 750 ml bottles. Of course then I'd be spending as much on the Fever Tree as I do on a bottle of wine, so my "save money" reason for AF wouldn't work any more LOL.
Anyway, I'm off to search the stores in my area to see which ones carry which flavors of this delicious beverage!
