    I have been drinking a lot. But I just got my liver enzymes checked and they are good?? Lol. Only weeknight was wed last week. And I don't think I drank Saturday so that's actually not that much now that I think of it.....

    Hah! @elizabethymartin I feel like if I drink a few days in a row I am like "wow I am way boozing it up" and need to stop. Turning into a lightweight over here.

    Stuck to water last night! Fizzy water of course :)

    I have been doing decent during the week but on the weekends I suck!!! Especially now the holidays are upon us. But I am still soldiering on and I am trying to maintain.

    @dbanks80 no worries, please note this group is called no booze on SCHOOL NIGHTS. You have free range on the weekends! Baby steps, right?!?! Lol I'm a sauce bag on the weekends. Either sat or sun morning (or both) r usually a bit ugly.

    I think now I feel like just throwing in the towel and say F it and just pick back up in January. LOL!

    No! Don't do that! We can throw a few sober days in the 12 days of Christmas! I think.

    So, what if one is on vacation?? Because I can throw a few days in from now until Christmas, although I did very poorly the last week, and then I am off and will likely be a free for all the week after Christmas until January 5th! :) I have a very old friend coming from out of town and thee will be no promises made of any sort that week! ;)

    It's up to you! My personal rule is no drinking on "school nights" UNLESS we are socializing. So I would drink with my friend even if it were a school night.

    I know. Whenever my SO is on vacation - or on w/e's with him I'm screwed. Reward yourself for any sober baca days. Admittedly I try to eat lower cal and get a workout in to save calories for alcohol. Priorities.

    Sparkling water last night. Made my husband drink the leftover red wine from my poor life choices on Sunday.

    Sparkling water last night again, while watching White Christmas. It made me want a martini though. But then also I was conflicted because they're all soooooo thin and glamorous! So I stuck to water :|

    Was so close to opening a cold bottle of delicious dry Riesling tonight, but we talked ourselves out of it. Yay! 2 more days before vacation, hoping to stay strong until then.

    I have decided to live vicariously thru @AJMB704. I spent my evening in gymnastics class. And by that I mean watching it. And my god it smells like the changing room of a discount store in there. Kid feet. Blech! Does wonders for curbing the appetite tho!! No drinks for me last night! Or Sunday!

    Is anyone still around? I'm climbing back onto the wagon. Well, after I reassemble it. I sold it for parts :p

    I'm having oral surgery on Thursday so I don't plan to drink again until April 8. Wish me luck.
