    Thanks everyone for your kind words and support.

    I have noticed that you've been MIA @chicbuc. I'm glad that you threw out your wine and was AF yesterday. I could really relate to your post…If I didn't know better, I would have thought that I wrote it myself: I have to for my health, for my mental health, for my weight, and for living life in general. I'm soooo tired of worrying about if I have enough wine to finish my evening or stocking up so I don't have to worry. I too worry about my health and have not been really living life…just going through the motions. I do the same thing. I start worrying in the afternoon if I'll have enough to get me through the evening. When I do get more, I usually end up not needing it. And, that's where the having alcohol in the house in the AM comes in. I'm also going to coast (or wade 🙂) into July with 3 days AF under my belt and I also plan to have a dry July!

    @itladyee Yes…there is "always something". There's always something that we allow to interrupt our plans, our progress etc. I think it comes with the territory when it comes to drinking. Sometimes, I try to find an excuse "that something" to give me an excuse to drink. Then the next day, I'll think, "Well, I already drank this week. So I may as well drink today and start over next week". Somehow, we need to change our thinking.

    Have a great day everyone!

    @chicbuc I blew my streak today. I was working on a technical project that I wasn't familiar with and I got flustered. Anyways, I'll be back on track tomorrow. Just the 2 AF days really did help. I'm still planning on a dry July.

    June (Final):

    AF - 2
    A - 28

    See everyone in July!

    @LittleSurferGirl7 it’s ok! Just get back up and dust off and do this for you!

    @nbruns83 nice to “meet” you!

    My last 3 days were AF and I think I had 2 or 3 other AF days, so not good. On to dry July!!

    Thanks @chicbuc You're doing good!

    After just 2 AF days, I drank a little less than a pint yesterday and I have a bit of a hangover. I didn't think that would happen so soon. Usually, I don't get hangovers.

    I'll see you in July!

    edited July 1

    I’ve been AF on all work nights and some weekends, and I’m maintaining after losing 22lbs Jan-May. Generally keeping a lid on alcohol in general.

    I went to a wonderful group get away this past weekend, and drank a bit each night, 3, 2, 2 drinks, I think (mostly beer, but one mixed drink). 2 is definitely better for me than 3. The only thing I noticed was reduced sleep quality. Of course, I took naps, so it wasn’t that much of an issue, but it’s interesting that my fitness watch can tell that I’d had some alcohol.

    Also, I came home with a 2lb weight spike that was gone a day later. There you go: alcohol affects both my sleep and my weight. And, it takes care to keep it to 2 drinks or less.
