LESS Alcohol ~ APRIL 2025 ~ One Day at A Time

We'll be here cheering for you, @SurferGirl1982! No matter what!

@chicbuc I was just replying to you when your post came through. Thank you always for your support.

Yes, we do have to keep trying. You've been doing pretty well this month. I'm sure you read @globalhiker's last post. It was very inspirational to me.

It sounds like you had a pretty uneventful day yesterday also. But your day sounded like a lot of fun.

I called my good friend in CA yesterday (we've known each other since high school). She's the one that only drank occasionally. Well, I guess she's drinking more now. She was drinking yesterday. I was quite disappointed. She was always pretty smart and could offer good advice. I tried to explain that I was trying to quit drinking and the problems it was causing…not being able to do my normal everyday activities, etc. And, she actually said, "You don't need to quit drinking. You just need to start walking more". I told her that I could barely walk to the mailbox. She obviously didn't understand what drinking excessively can do. And, she is the one who's husband had that disorder last July. It starts with a W and many call it wet brain. She was thinking of coming up to visit this summer. But, I really don't want her to. I will probably have to make up some sort of excuse. If I am successful with quitting, I think it's best to stay away from others that drink, at least for the first few months.

Have a wonderful day everyone!

About 50/50 over the last few days…

@NonnieDoiron ~ I read your post the other day and didn't have time to comment. Poor child, had to eat leftovers! Well, at least you were missed! Glad your daughter is home. That's very smart to keep a bag ready. hopefully, by being prepared, those needs to go will be less than expected. Praying for your family. Sorry you had such a tough time yesterday. I can relate in so many ways!

@chicbuc ~ Kudos to your SO, that was a very kind jester and obviously a stress relief for you. How are you feeling?

@SurferGirl1982 ~ profound words and the best thing is…you haven't thrown the towel in. You're very aware and it will happen, when you're ready.

@Womona ~ you are doing well with your one glass plan. Just having one glass is very hard, I think :)

@mfowler883 ~ my count is "about" as well. I know I had a couple of days AF as I wasn't feeling 100% (those darn grandkids! :) Congrats on your son passing his finals and good luck with the transition.

@globalhiker ~ Yes, the week flew by for me as well. Sometimes I wish I could push a button and turn my brain off from time to time. I guess it's kind of what the wine does, but good for you continuing your NA journey. You are killing it!!!! Thanks for explaining your transition to where you are today. It's helpful.

Have a marvelous Monday!!!

Stats thru 4/20
A = 12
LA = 3
AF = 5

Hey there, LESS alcohol group.

I've made a decision after all these years to delete my MFP account. This thread is going to need someone(s) to either continue it going forward into May or if you like start another thread.

Thanks for all the wonderful contributions you have all made to this.

@MissMay I'm so sorry to hear that. But I want you to know how much I valued you and your contributions and I wish you love and happiness. xo

SunnyDays930

@MissMay I private messaged you.

SunnyDays930

Oh it didn't let me. Well send me a message please. I hope you are OK.

SurferGirl1982

@MissMay I'm sorry to see you go. I had a feeling something was up because you haven't been posting much lately. I hope everything is OK! Please take care!

@SunnyDays930 I think you have to be on each others friend's list to send messages.

Talk to you all later.

SunnyDays930

@SurferGirl1982 we were. I don't know if she jumped off or what. I hope everything is OK.

@MissMay I'm so sorry to hear you're leaving MFP, and am forever grateful that I found this discussion thread a few months ago.

I hope all is well with you, and that whatever you do in life, it's filled with nothing but happiness, compassion and love, because that's what you brought to these threads every month, and it's what you deserve, and more.

Peace and love, Spring ❤️

SurferGirl1982

@SunnyDays930 Yes, she may have already deleted her account. Her profile is private, so there's no way for me to know. Since she was on your friend's list, if she's no longer on there, she must have deleted her account. I hope everything is OK! I hate to see her leave…she will be missed!

chicbuc

Oh, wow. That's nuts and I will miss her dearly. I hope all is well with her. This thread will probably go by the wayside without her 😭

globalhiker

I almost wonder if someone hacked into her account and wrote that because that just does not sound like how she would say good bye. The writing style and tone of the message is not her typical either.

I hope she is OK and I wish her well. She helped change my life.

If she does not resurface, hope someone with MFP technical skills wants to volunteer setting up the monthly group. I'm happy to continue as a contributor. And I need this place to come to keep myself in check and stay supported.

chicbuc

@globalhiker You might be onto something. I don't think she would say to start another thread if we like because there was always a new thread every month. Weird, indeed.

I'm not sure if I did this right. But, try this link for May…
