    Last night, I had a half of a pint bottle of whiskey left and I decided to dump it down the sink. My cat, Tinker, has her vet appointment this morning at 11 am. And, I was afraid that if I had anything left in the morning that I would drink it…which I'm sure I would have. I was hesitant to dump it out because sometimes I wake up at 2, 3, or 4 o'clock in the morning and its nice to have a drink.

    When I first woke up, I somewhat regretted pouring it out. But I'm actually feeling pretty good. That could be a first step…not drinking in the morning (our bodies get used to starting drinking at a certain time). If I were just trying to moderate, that would definitely be my first step (no drinking until the afternoon). But, I'm looking forward to going on a LONG AF stretch!

    I've read all of your posts the last couple of days, but there were too many posts and so much good information to reply individually.

    @chicbuc Good luck on getting an AF day today. If I can resist buying any whiskey on the way home from the vet, I could have my first AF day in a while. I'm going to try! By the way, my cat is still eating pretty good and seems to be feeling much better.

    @Womona Beautiful boat! Just remember to close that hatch next time 😀

    Have a great Wednesday everyone!

    @chicbuc Thanks! We just gave Tinker her Gabapentin. It's kind of a sedative. But it's a liquid and I mixed in with some Fancy Feast broth. But, she didn't finish it all. So I hope she got enough. She has to have a blood draw and she tends to have a bit of an attitude. We used to give her a capsule in a pill pocket. But, when she first went on thyroid medicine, I put an uncoated pill in one. I guess she could smell it. Now, she will not touch pill pockets. If she were a dog, I could just stick it in some peanut butter and "Gulp!" I'm going to work on figuring a way to give her pills again.

    It's only 9 o'clock in the morning. But, so far, I'm AF 🙂 I hope that I can resist later. But if not, at least, I didn't drink in the morning. That is a start and has to stop.

    Have a nice day and Good luck with your AF goal for today!

    Quick mid-week check-in, I've decided to update my username from margim5 to BurnMode05

    AF = 12
