    oh dear!
    I always know that having an exorcism like that would be better for me . But I just am unable to make myself do it...so I end up just feeling like caca the next day.
    I'm glad you've recovered..and sister..yay for your friends!

    Haha sounds like me, but at around 4am. I had vodka on the rocks all night. Can't remember the number, but definitely not more than 5 or 6. No hangover since I had a glass of water with every drink and wasn't dehydrated. But now I kinda want to drink again tonight. I'll be a good girl though. LOL

    Hey lushes, I finished the week with approximately 16 drinks...I really wanted a glass of wine yesterday as I opened the bottle to make pot roast...However, I found some strength deep inside and refrained:smile:

    This will be a better week as I work 5 of the 7 days...also, the weekend PM shift...although, I did stock up on 2 bottles of skinny margaritas that I found at Sam's Club:bigsmile:

    I weigh in tomorrow...think I will be down another pound...only the scale will tell that tomorrow

    :laugh: I didn't drink last night...I was soooo dehydrated from the night before, and then running around in the wind that my lips cracked...so I thought alcohol would be a bad idea.

    So, my grand total for the week is:
    Sunday=1
    Monday=1
    Tuesday=0
    Wednesday=0
    Thursday.5
    Friday=8
    Saturday=0

    10.5!

    Kim, I'm proud of your resistance!

    Sometimes, if I'm really needing to hurl, I think of a line from a Stephen King story (The Sun Dog) that talks about the sound a camera makes...I believe it's, "...a squidgy, little whine..." and for some reason, the word squidgy makes me sick, so that sometimes does the trick--no finger necessary!

    Oy

    Still drunk and it's 10:09 am. Once I sober up, I'll feel terrible but it's worth it. Had such a good time with my girls. Just drank at my house, no loud bars or drunk people we don't know.

    Staying in is the new going out :smile:

    Today is a rest day but if I get some gumption, I may work out.

    I really love this thread. I had 8 drinks this week (which isn't over yet..), or 12, I guess if you go by serving size and not "big glass of wine". :) I mean, not this kind of big: http://www.amazon.com/Xl-Jumbo-Giant-Wine-Glass/dp/B000O3PZ1M, but still.

    I ran and did a workout dvd (30 day shred. Ouch) yesterday so I had a ton of calories I needed to make up to get to a net of at least 1200. Hmm, wonder how I could do that... Couple of beers while watching baseball. It was awesome.

    I'm a finger girl!!! :tongue:

    Well, only if I have the bed spins and I know it's coming anyway. My trigger is the toliet seat, being a nurse I think of all the germs on there and, well, there she blows. God forbid, should there be a hair on there. :sick: I'm been known to clean the toliet before the, um, event

    I have such a weak gag reflex a finger doesn't even work for me. so I can't ever make myself throw up.:noway: sure wish I could sometimes. I do have to say that my husband benefits from my lack of gag reflex though:blushing: (oh no she didn't):laugh:

    Despite overindulging on wine last night, I rode my stationary bike For two hours and am now enjoying .... you guessed it, wine :drinker:

    I love this!!! I was kind of not wanting to share that I have a couple drinks on here, but yea!! I'm not alone! Back when I did weight watchers I never counted the alcohol or the midnight meal that would follow a good night out...LOL It worked then too. Now, I actually count my drinks and it is helping me to reach my calorie goals. The midnight meal never happens anymore. I might go grab a bowl of carrots and celery and bring it to bed and I am totally fine with that. I'm glad that there can be a balance and there are others out there that live just like me! Count me in! I am a lush!

    WTG Kim!!! :drinker:


    This weekend was baaaaaaaaad. Friday night...I had a couple glasses of wine and we made homemade pizza. :embarassed:

    Saturday...I had a whole bottle of wine by myself. :embarassed: Boyfriend was drinking beer...so I wasn't paying attention that the bottle was being emptied by only me. :ohwell:

    Sunday was rough but by dinner time I was feeling better so I had 1 & 1/2 galsses of wine.

    I am going to try for another dry week. *fingerscrossed*

    Good Luck with your goals this week fellow lushes! :flowerforyou:

    I had 2 "motivator" drinks yesterday and I *did* get a ton done, so it worked.

    i think i'll start my "week" today, last night was a fail ... funny how pouring 1 cup of wine into the red sauce i was making justified opening another one ;)

    today is husband's birthday, so the whole week is sure to be splurgy (both food and drinks) but i figure i'll volunteer to be DD for most outings, at least it will help avoid all the mid-day drinks.

    goal : < 14

    Had a couple of glasses of wine last night and considering I only had 5 hours in bed (and spent a fair amount of that awake) I felt pretty darn good this morning. I was going to be alcohol free Monday to Thursday again but somehow a cold beer seems to have snuck into my hand.

    March was not a great month for me!! I had gone over seventy days without alcohol and broke that with a couple beers on St Patrick’s day, had a few beers on the following weekend, then it seemed to just roll with a glass of wine here and there until the celebration for my birthday and then a couple whiskeys and some wine this past week and weekend. SO, I am starting over again with my effort to abstain. I know it makes a huge difference for me since I lost 11 pounds in a month while not drinking, and only four or five in March! Hope you are all doing well and good luck on your moderation, abstinence and weight loss and fitness goals!!

    Hubs has some stomach virus thing...at first I thought it was what I had, so I though he'd be over it by now, but he's not. He won't be drinking tonight, so most likely, neither will I...he's such a bad influence! :blushing:

    I always start my week on Monday. (Friday, Saturday and Sunday are pretty much a given that I'll have at least 1) :laugh:

    I had three beers on Saturday, 3 glasses of wine last night. I am going to try and schedule a 2 week abstitence from alcohol, but I am having a hard time scheduling it!
