    Update: I had some wine this weekend.
    I'm mad at myself, because I also ate more than I should have.

    Well, all I can do is jump back into it!

    if i can avoid booze for 95% of the month........
    .... that would be still be a big improvement!

    You and me both. I went on a binge when left home alone. Two bottles of wine were consumed. There is no good reason for doing that. That was Friday. Today is Monday and I am not drinking.

    Jacques- I know what you mean, I was "left home alone" too and gave in....

    After 2 weeks of no booze, my sober high was zapped.

    I definitely DID NOT like the way I felt this weekend - ( physical feeling aside ) - I just felt down.
    It took me a day to bounce back, ........... last night I went to sleep early, got up today with a good attitude and I feel a million times better.

    Gave me even more motivation to stay on track!

    Tomorrow is the last day of April. Not a weekend. Let's finish the month in fine form by meeting our personal goals.

    For me April was good, and May will be better. You?

    Hi Guys!

    My results for the month of April
    .... I had a drink on 6 out of 30 days.

    That's 80% SOBER for the month
    which is A HUGE improvement for me!

    Not perfect for these reasons:
    1) on the days i did drink, I ate too much too.
    2) Also, the days i drank were 2 at a time.. So i had 3 drinking "binges" of 2 days each ( which is better than 3-5 days!)

    Need more CONTROL!
    That I will focus on for May-- But overall, I'm proud at myself for my ability to reduce my intake!

    Hope everyone else had a good ending for the month!
