    AF = 20
    A = 9

    Right there with you, bowhunter. Casino got me again last night, BUT, I only had 2 small glasses at dinner and 1 very small one out on the floor, so less than a bottle. That's good for me...lol.

    NOW, I'm going to finish out the month.

    Took a 5 mile hike yesterday at our nearby local state park and logged over 12,000 steps by the end of the day. There were so many wild flowers and lovely creeks running with water! Just what I needed for the day. Then, made a nice welcome home steak dinner for DH. Had some good unplanned white wine - stayed within limits….but I’ll have no issues with ending the month AF. It’s a perfect day to begin all over again, and Monday! Hope to see you on the May thread!

    Final stats for April!
    AF - 13
    A - 8
    LA - 9 (less than 2 glasses and/or low alcohol content)

    Thanks @MissMay for being the strong leader and outstanding example for us on this Less Alcohol thread. So sorry about your accident while on that beautiful and luxurious vacation :(. Maybe it’s a sign and now IS a good time to exit from a job that is not serving you any longer. Sending healing vibes.

    @itladyee I feel you! But you showed up and that’s what matters most.
    I also had an awful (or what felt awful) March and slightly better April.
    See you in May!

    @MissMay So sorry you fell! That can be quite a shock to the system when you fall!
    I hope you will feel better soon. Rest, elevate and take Advil. I hope you are on your feet again soon. Your work will definitely miss you!! This may give you time to look for other prospects. <3

    You took the words right out of my mouth!!!!!! Yes, sounds like a blessing in disguise. Sorry for the knee pain, but still!

    I have to put my old dog down today. I have not been drinking and will not drink tonight. I will be fully present for the procedure then sit in my feelings of sorrow after. I will not numb them. I will honor her by feeling my love and gratitude for her life, and then the grief, because as you know, grief and love go hand in hand.

    I’m so sorry to hear you are going through this. It’s always so tough even when you know “it’s time”. Sending hugs, and kudos to you for not drowning your sorrows.

    Oh Jen if I could give you a real hug I would. The devotion to your passing pup with you staying AF is so admirable. You need to remember everything about their life. Good, bad and hurting. Sending many healing thoughts and condolences. XO

    @Sunnydays930 ~ this makes me so sad. I had to do the same back in July and it wasn't expected. Sudden onset of diabetes. I am so sorry.

    Oh April, the month that brings us showers for beautiful flowers throughout May.

    I did have a bit of precipitation on some days in April. Thanks goodness no down pours (funny less alcohol play on words) LOL

    Alcohol - 6 days
    No Alcohol - 24 days

    March was dryer by 3 days for me, probably because I planned ahead for some celebration drinks here in April.
    Overall remembering some of my anniversary months before joining this LESS ALCOHOL thread in 2018 had me cringing in shame of my former self.
    This month I even refused a few drinks hubby want to give me. WIN WIN

    So looking forward to stepping over onto our May thread

    AF = 19

    Haven’t drank yet today, but I’m going to mark it an A day just because of MIL BS. Not horrible April stats. Only one of those days was a full bottle of wine. The others were 1-2 glasses.
