Bottle of vanilla vodka, chocolate milk and cool whip. Blended it all together lastnight in a beautiful glass........Started to take a sip. Swore at myself and watched it all swirl down the drain. I'm smarter than that. Damn this bad dream.
I sure hope it was only a dream. Sounds like something I used to do when I was 18 like Pour Kahlua on Haagen-Daz ice cream. OMG the calories.2 -

With the social distancing we are certainly in a place we never thought a month ago we would be at. A mountain of stress for a multitude of reasons is on our shoulders. I feel for each and everyone that has postesd about a situation they are facing that is extremely difficult. Know how sorry I am that you are going through this. If the moment comes that you just say "screw it" and do not accomplish the AF day or night you had planned....well then, understandable. Do though try•try•try not to have so much that you can not keep some control. We don't need bumped or bruised bodies on top of being restricted to our homes.
MY PLAN after I send this off is to go workout(in my home) The past few days I have only been going through the motions, half heartily paying attention to my workout videos as they played. More or less escaping to my workout room in total confusion. Yes things have changed, but I still need some sort of plan in place for my sanity. So I am headed to sweat, scream and pump some iron.
Many thoughts to you all.6 -
Day 17 AF done! It's the first day of Spring!
Today goal is to limit checking news and re-focus on what I can control. Simple, fun things - like finding a new recipe online and making it.

Happy first day of Spring to you also @globalhiker. You said it, "RE-FOCUS ON WHAT I CAN CONTROL".
I have deactivated my FaceBook account because of to much misinformation and friends being crule to each other. New recipes sound like a fun change. 🌷5 -

19/19. I may have a drink tomorrow - some virtual drinks are being organised on zoom by a friend and it would be rude not to pop in and say hello.1

Good morning. While listening to the news last night, apparently there is an over abundance of wine storage in the world. Ever since the fast and furious rage to start your own brewery, distillery, etc, became popular. Now I get why these wine companies have been offering boxes of wines at wildly low prices(to try). Of course my husband got caught up in the craze last year and then found himself in a "club". Trying to get out of the club after they have pre-charged his credit card and then let you know a wine delivery was on the way was not an easy thing to get out of. (this is all from what he tells me because I have nothing to do with wanting to order wine or drink it).
With bars across the country being closed down I suppose it is good that these wine companies can now purge their inventories by shipping.
ME.... still not a wine drinker
Day 19 = 19 AF5 -
Day 18 AF done! Spent the evening watching James May episodes in Japan, on Amazon Prime, was pretty entertaining. If weather good Saturday, I will drive out of town and go for a long hike and get my nature fix. I am overdue for one.

Hi everyone! Things are going well.
@MissMay I love really good wine and I am in a wine club. But, I live really close to wine country and there are a lot of wonderful small family-owned wineries. My wine club is with a winery very close to me, and I just get two bottles every 4 months of some really good wine. I've gotten to know the winemakers, toured the vineyards, and I value that connection.
I did end up getting my money back from the canceled hotel, and I did end up splurging on a case of wine from them. They are a small business that has been struggling since their tasting room was forced to close due to the quarantine requirements. I want to get to the place where I really savor my wine, that's what I'm working on. I'm excited to get my case and work on being mindful.
In other news I have managed to somehow not drink anything the last 3 nights, which has been tough because I've been really stressed out like everyone else. I have unfortunately found myself binging on sweets instead though.
I need to figure out how not to have that happen. My goal for today is no alcohol AND no sweets.

Virtual pub tonight. About 15 of us on zoom. I needed that.
19/20 AF8 -
@shorepine now 2 bottles per order is more sensible.
He received 15 bottles the last shipment. We do not have an army over for wine tasting, nor do I ever drink wine ( sorry wine folks just not my thing). Anyhoo..... as long as I don't have to give up food space to store the darn stuff I won't complain too much. Nice job this mindful month.

@helen_goldthorpe That sounds like a nice way to enjoy a drink, especially under the circumstances.3

Hit a wall today. Feel exhausted. I still went for a walk after work and have a virtual Zumba class tomorrow morning. Hoping for some endorphins.
I got some David’s tea and have been enjoying that. Hope you have all been doing well.

@shorepine I emphasize. It's hard. I'm 13 days without alcohol and proud of the streak so far but I am eating sugar, too much sugar. One thing at a time, one day at a time. I'll get the sugar under control too, soon. Don't beat yourself up over it, I know easier said than done.

Still at 18 out of 20 days. Used up my second allowed "drinking pass" last night. No passes left for March. That's a good thing....!
