    Alarm goes off at 6;00am. I am awake, but enjoying the comfort of the soft plush blanket.

    6:14am I reopen my eyes and my first thought is how wonderful.it is to wake up without the residue of alcohol in my system.

    Gonna be a 👍day!

    Love it!!!

    Thanks for the insightful shares everyone. I do know how ‘the drink’ can take over even with one’s best intentions.
    So worthy of the reminder @MissMay.

    I’ve been happily planning a vacation and doing many social activities in the month. I shared how I have found myself wanting some wine all last week which is a newer feeling. I veered off my very planned AF days for a minute! But realizing this I made sure I kept to my resolve last night to stay AF. Feels great to wake up knowing this! Heading to a studio class at the gym now.

    Have a great day!

    The Fever Tree Pink Grapefruit is AMAZING! Thanks for the recommendation @MissMay. It’s perfect. Not too sweet, not too sour/ grapefruity. Magic bubbles in a glass, indeed. In a wine glass is even better! AF tonight, just 3 sips of my husband’s wine. Beats an entire glass!

    Very happy to report I stayed true to my AF goals for the last 3 days in a row. Also found the Olipop prebiotic sodas to be very tasty. Tried several fruit flavors, and only 35 calories - very good if you want some good gut support too! I’m now on the hunt for crisp apple.

    AF continues…

    It’s wonderful to see all the success many of you are having with LA!

    Woke up thinking how great I feel without any wine residual in my system. We have a flight tomorrow so will keep my AF days going.

    Pineapple Cider last night, 8 ounce pour. Fall is a good time for cider. The pineapple was refreshing and did not leave me feeling buzzed at all. 🍍

    Anticipated night out Tuesday. Halloween my MOST FAVORITE holiday. Not a repeat of last year 🙄.

    I will be driving to our Halloween event on the Santa Rosa Sound, it is out doors, live rock band (music from my growing up era), it is a fun place.

    They have great food, and the bartender makes me special mocktails. Going to be lots of dancing from this ole gal.

    GOALS! GOALS! GOALS! set in place.

    🎃😁🌴

    @missmay is inspiring me to join the party without overdoing the alcohol. We generally don’t go to many parties anymore, and I don’t think I’ve ever gone without drinking. That would be kind of a test. Anyway, @missmay, I hope the party was great! Let us know how you fared.
