    What does LA stand for? I looked at the acronym list but did not see it. Thanks

    Less Alcohol....as in, low alcohol wine...Mocktails....alcohol free beer....2 drinks on a Friday night as opposed to 5...only imbibing on weekends as opposed to every single night...going alcohol-free with an occasional slip up....

    What ever gets us to a healthier relationship with alcohol and our selves.

    Welcome aboard.

    For me it means 1-2 drinks. I use this because I'm not giving up A entirely, but I'm just trying to drink less.

    Doing much better staying on target the 2nd half of the month vs the 1st half!

    So far 16 days on target (9 AF/7 LA) and 9 A. Planning to wrap this month with 3 more AF and 1 LA.

    Checking in while on vacation. Lots of dining out and socializing over the weekend. Also biking, and long walks on the beach.
    Went overboard on Sat night at a big celebration dinner but only 1 glass of wine on Sunday night.
    Some planned red wine this evening but will stay within limits. Heading out for another adventure tomorrow!

    11 - AF
    12 - A (wine)
    3 - LA (low calorie wine)
    Limits: 2 glasses

    Final check in - really wanted a glass of wine last night but once I got to the point to slow down and have one...I didn't want it anymore :smiley:

    Planned A tonight leaves me:
    20 days on target (8 A/12 AF) and 9 days over target
    Slightly over my original goal of 15 AF days but I can see the improvement as I work through the month. Time to get March started!

    Arrived home last night from a 5-night girls vacation with daily activities as well as numerous social gatherings. I preferred to cook in a couple of nights but that wasn’t the majority vote, so us gals dined out and had wine daily. For me, I did let me hair down with the wine intake and maybe should have accounted for that in advance (no husband, kids, or grandkids with me this time). It was also a difficult month personally but no excuses.
    I did not hit my LA goal of 18 AF days — so that will be my new LA goal for March.

    Feb. accountability including today!

    12 - AF
    14 - A (wine)
    3 - LA (low calorie wine)
    Limits: 2 glasses (over 4 x’s)

    February was a challenge. Now it's time to get back to January thinking....
    Light years ahead of last year!! In 2024, I have had 42 days AF. In the entire year of 2023, I had 43 days AF. Wow, even my less than stellar February was better than 90% of the months in 2023!

    Thank you @Missmay for hosing this group and thank you all for keeping me accountable, without accountability, I wouldn't have these details to know the progress being made!!

    Time to focus on March!

    @missmay ~ Nice work for the month of February
