edited January 8 in Social Groups
Hello,

I went off radar for a while during the holidays. Good to see the group is still gaining people, though not very chatty. Not a problem.

I have remained sober and had no alcohol since Otober 13. Got through the holidays and several parties including family gatherings where my siblings drink constantly but not to excess.

SO I am winning the battle of alcohol abstinence.

But we will NOT bring up the topic of cookies and holiday treats. OK? OK.

I pray you get to your goals. I am slowly finding which goals I want to attain. Happy 2013.

    Happy 2013 !

    Just joined this group, I don't see many discussions going on, So i just replied to the last.

    I did a "sober october" and lost over 10 lbs, and felt great. During the holidays, ate and drank more than I should have, and had to come to the realization that my food choices are horrible after a few drinks.

    While I might have an occasional drink, my goal for 2013 is to abstain as much as possible, which i am sure will help my weight loss and overall health!

    Happy January! I didn't post in December, but things have been going well... I had a Hot Toddy when I had a nasty cold. It was gross, and I got a headache and felt icky after. Last night my husband and I had a Luau night and had a very weak Pina Colada. I've had maybe one or two other things, but it shows me that I'm capable of moderation. So that's nice. I seem to be cooking with booze more... but then barely drinking it. That being said, I have little willpower for the goodies. Oh well, I'm still losing in the long run. Glad there are some newcomers... Hi!! Glad you're here!

    Hello!

    THis group is not very chatty. it is more of a place to write your "journaling thoughts" and then you feel like you have to be more accountable because you made your thoughts public.

    Misty and I are the most active.

    You can use this group for what ever meets your needs.

    Good luck!
