    Off to a bad start so far this month (from this weekend) between having more to drink than I wanted and eating poorly at dinner time both days. I definitely need to make up for it this week, I said AF 4 days and limit my 2 days for the weekend. Just means I NEED to be stronger this week and not be lazy and give in to my stress or anxiety.

    I'm learning....slowly....it's a slow process. Keep getting back up and trying again.

    We had dinner out and I had wine and I think that was fine. We also ended up sitting down and watching TV and I had another glass of wine but after thinking about it there was just no point to it. I just added up empty calories. I should have made my tea. I think I got caught in the 'habit' and maybe a bit of 'it's Friday!'. We also decided to sit outside last night and I couldn't resist this Grand Marnier type drink as that's warming and it was cold out, I only had about and ounce. I know others have said that the craving go in about 2 weeks but I've been at this about 3 weeks and definitely still have a urge or craving each night. I'm actually really happy with my progress but when I have something to drink like last night I want to take the time to think it over....I think if I was to do it again I would skip the evening wine. So glad I got the little 4 pack bottles because even though I had a glass I don't have bottle open that I would have had more of last night or I would be drinking tonight.

    Listen to this! It talks about "urges" and habits!!

    We always have sailor Jerry in the house, a single night cap turns into, well more. So I'm right there with ya! We just finished the bottle last night and I said I'm not buying another. Out of sight, out of mind!
