    Who is going to be "drinking AF" with me for Thanksgiving? Strength in numbers :)

    Strategic Planning:
    I did my total wine run for AF wines for Thanksgiving. Now I got my favorite NA Sea Glass Pinot Grigio. Best so far and I like it from Total Wine. Wherever they get it from, it tastes fresh. I also planned it out so some of the others bring something or cook something. The days of little me doing it all are so OVER.

    @MissMay congrats for the zero sugar in the coffee and the successful AF streak!!!

    Working on day 84 AF today. To set up the Xmas tree or not today, that is the question.

    @globalhiker I'm with you! I will not be drinking on Thanksgiving.

    You're probably all tired of hearing me whining about our liquor store hours here. But, tomorrow (Sunday) the store is only open from 11am to 5pm. So my husband is going to the store later and get a fifth of Black Velvet for me. After that is gone...I'm done! I've had enough. I can't moderate. I will be done for good.

    Hopefully, others will join us for an AF Thanksgiving. Hey, there's other things to drink...coffee, iced tea, ice water, club soda with a little lemon or lime. And, we can have fun without alcohol. We may even remember everything the next day 🙂

    Also, congrats on 84 days. Please be careful when 90 days arrives! You don't want to go backwards!

    Have a nice weekend everyone!

    We had my daughters’ family dinner party for 8 adults and 3 kids last night. Her best GF and husband joined us. I made all the homemade Mexican food and chocolate cake, put up super cute decorations and balloons everywhere- Rose gold and pink and silver. It was really nice. Popped a pink Mumm champagne to toast her.

    I opened a Chardonnay for dinner and no one drank it but me. In hindsight, I wish I had the mocktails I put out for others (which I bought for this occasion)!

    Accountability post…..two glasses between 5-9:00 p.m. Then a BIG glass after family left and while I cleaned up the kitchen. Super fog head today.
    I went into the party very tired which isn’t the way to set myself up for success.

    Planning for an AF day to reset.

    November stats:
    AF - 5
    A - 17

    @Michieb125 What was the occasion for the dinner party? Mexican food is my favorite.

    Unfortunately, I don't have much to report on my stats. But, since you posted yours, I will post mine (not very impressive).

    November:
    AF - 0
    A -23

    I will have some AF days this month...I'm sure of it!

    @SurferGirl1982 it was my daughter’s 40th birthday! I had her when I was 25 - feels like I was just a baby myself! It’s a strange feeling when your child turns 40 LOL.

    I have a feeling you WILL be AF very soon - there are still 7 days left in the month for us!!!

    @NonnieDoiron I'm a few hours behind you...but did that bottle of wine magically appear yet? 🙂 I seriously hope you get your raise. I bet you will!

    It did! And then a friend brought two more when she came to dinner last night. Going to have a glass tonight. I just spent the last 7 hours cleaning my house for the holidays, so I’m wanting that glass of wine even more… always do after I clean like I just did.

    My HR rep called me yesterday, and she said she’ll have to get back to me. But, she didn’t say no. So, now, I wait and pray.

    AF = 11
    A = 12

    @Michieb125 It is funny how the time flies. Boy, I would love to be celebrating my 40th B-day. I hope you had a great time.

    Thanks for reminding me that we only have seven days left in November 🤔 But, I'm sure I will have at least a few days AF this month. I envy those of you that can just have a glass or two of wine and call it quits. But, for me, it just doesn't work.

    And then we have @NonnieDoiron that has bottles of wine that just "magically" appear 😕 Hmmm? I must be doing something wrong!
