Diary Style is how I roll.

Ignore it.
Your streak is a streak of days you've chosen not to drink, that's what really matters. You're streak would be over if once you found out you said "eff it" and drank it anyway and maybe ordered another.
Do not let perfect be the enemy of great. You're doing amazingly well.

Thanks for all the input on my question and dilemma of 44AF or start over with my days.
@dawnbgethealthy. Funny I had begun writing about that but thought my post was to long so I deleted it.
Amongst the errands we had to run yesterday was to pick up my prescriptions for an acute ear ache I started with again on Friday.
Anyways we went there to pick it up first, I immediately took the medicine and put some drops in my ear. Proceeded on our way to continue errands and about 45 minutes after the pharmacy ended up at the tavern.
I did feel fuzzy, I wlll admit, but poo poo'd it as my ear issue and the medicine. I even said that to my husband after I realized it was not 00. I told him, well that explains why my scalp is crawly, I thought it was the prescriptions we picked up. ( I take no medicines on a regular basis. Even over the counter stuff makes me dizzy sometimes)

Good afternoon everyone,
I’m excited to say that my first week went well on the AF days, without feeling deprived or any cravings. Well, I did eat too many graham crackers vs. eating chocolate, I’m thinking my chocolate habit isn’t as bad as I originally thought…one dove dark promise is 42calories and the sleeve of the graham cracker stacker is 250cals….so I might stick with the one piece of chocolate per night 😄
I started Monday 1/31
AF days: 6
A days: 1
Have a great day everyone!🙋🏻♀️

Here we go, February:
Feb 1-2 - AF
Feb 3-5 - stuck with 2 drink limit
Feb 6-7 AF The AF days are sometimes easier than sticking to the 2 drink limit!4 -
@MissMay One more vote for continuing your streak. Unless you have to report to a parole officer, I would not even count one unintentional drink. The important thing is your mindset!6

Hi all, just catching up with February, in addition to opening up a 4 week pile of mail and going through 450 emails. Covid in January knocked me for such a loop that I am STILL digging out! But at least I feel better!
Despite best intentions to be AF this morning, I came home from a long day at work and immediately poured myself a glass of wine. I’m only having one, but I am way off my goal of AF during the week and only one on the weekend. It’s a choice, yes. Discipline went out the window tonight.5 -

Oh my gosh this is not a fair way to start the new year for you. We wondered where you'd run off to. I hear it is a slow climb back to normal after having covid. Take care 🤗3 -

Thanks Dawn, it has been an issue that keeps reappearing just when I think it is finally cleared up. Need some sunshine and maybe some white sand as a cure.😉4 -

So upbeat and positive, love it. And I agree probably the chocolate is a far better choice. Thanks for checking in.4 -
