    @MissMay
    Surely you could accept a drink when offered and the local bartenders know to make your special AF drink for you in a fancy glass with a garnish?

    My friends asked why we weren't drinking this week during our bowling night, "Sober October is over!" they said. Who cares why we chose not to drink that night at all? It was a bit frustrating.

    Ditto!

    Some very good thoughts in response to my wee little rant yesterday. No not a boss, just some people we chat with when out. And I have gotten my special beverage request a few times, this was a tray of spilling tequila shots that was staggering towards us. Thinking DH wants me to accept so he can have the shot I would have turned down.
    Ok end of that subject for me. 😊

    Day 6 of my current AF streak. Just one more day until I reach my goal of 7 days AF. Seems to get easier with time, and I think even hubs is drinking less too.

    Yay! We are cheering for you to meet your 7 day goal!

    Oh that kind of changes things because then it's just more about a free drink for him and not about him not respecting your wishes. I could see my husband doing this too...

    @Womona I am the same way... My sister in law had drinks at her reception before dinner. Before dinner, it was wine in plastic cups and I couldn't... Then when dinner was served, it was wine in glasses and that changed everything so I caught up🍷👗😬.

    My goal is 16-20 AF days for the month.
    I didn't get there in October, ended up with 10 or 11AF days. Daily drinking is so very easy to slip back into!

    November 15 - AF
    November 16 - A bunch of red wine (not my drink of choice) at a girlfriend's who invited me for Lasagna. Although I had one glass or two glasses each night in Dallas, it made me feel lovely. Did not feel lovely, thought that I was going to puke, did not feel well in the morning.


    Running tally 9AF days out of 15 days so far.

    You painted such a great picture there of the scenario! He wanted you to accept it, put it in front of you and he would drink yours. All we can do is try to find some humour.

    @yamabachi I agree with you! I’m getting much more picky about what wine I’m drinking. We also get cases of wine delivered, and because I’ve cut back, the boxes are stacking up! Sadly, no wine storage as gorgeous as yours!

    @looneycatblue so sorry to hear about your fall, but I think you absolutely have the right attitude about it being a blessing in disguise. Good for you for recognizing your low point. God may have tipped you over for a reason, but He’ll definitely pull you back up!
