    @globalhiker So you didn't drink the wine, right? When I first read your post, I thought that you did drink the wine. If you didn't good for you!

    I plan on an AF April also. I'm still struggling. But I can do it because I really do want to do it.

    Our car was totaled from the flood damage. So we are now car shopping. Fortunately, we're getting a good settlement amount (much more than I thought). It's all a bit stressful. But we'll have a new car soon.

    Have a great weekend everyone!

    Yesterday was pretty good, I think…by some standard, anyway. I pulled two gallons of mead out to rack them off the lees and put them on oak, they've been in there for four months. I sampled them to see how they're coming along, maybe an ounce of each. Even through the young mead funk, they're showing promise. One's a bochet, which is basically mead made with caramelized honey, and it almost reminds me of a quad or barleywine. The other is a straight wildflower mead, and the floral notes are amazing - it was made with some random bottle of Turkish honey I found at an Asian grocery. Anyway, mead under a year old isn't worth drinking, other than periodic samples to check its progress.

    End of the night, fumbling around in a dark kitchen, I pulled out what should have been a Topo Chico and when I poured it, it turned out to be an ancient Mike's Hard Lemon from god knows when and who knows why it was in the back of the cabinet in a Topo Chico box. I drank enough of it to wash down my pm supplements but I never liked those bad flavored malt beverage jobs, not my bag.

    So….okay, we'll call it LA even though personally, I don't think it counts. :D

    Today was actually racking the mead and inoculating the grow bag with Tidal Wave spores (the reason I was in the closet in the first place, to dig up the iodophor sanitizer), and I did pour a small amount of the Chartreuse while I was in there. I'm disappointed in myself for that, I didn't need it, I WANTED it. So A. Not even LA. :(

    I really want to do better.

    I can and will give myself credit where credit is due: I'm not sitting here alone in the dark and getting hammered every night. I haven't been hammered in quite a few nights, actually, and that's a nice feeling. I'm doing better than I was, and that means something. Small progress is still progress. But I want more, I want to do better still.

    @globalhiker I just read your post and I have to say, the combo of warm weather, the weekend, getting our taxes finally done, etc. DID get to me and I had some Chardonnay yesterday. Too many glasses. Same old story. So my sober streak came to an end. I did 28 days.I wish I could have been as strong as you were! Today I feel dehydrated and gross. I know from experience that if I don't want to start drinking every day, I need to get back in the saddle immediately. So:

    March 1 A
    March 2-28 AF
