Good morning and welcome to June my lushy friends.

Summer time, bbq's, picnics, sporting events and camping all beg for alcohol. It is going to be a tough time. Good luck to all.:drinker:

    I need more coffee. I'm scrolling and scrolling wondering why there are so few posts in the lushes thread.
    Dur.
    Happy June everyone!! Now that we've made it to summer I would like for time to slow down to a crawl please..thankssomuch!!

    0 last night but that was only because I knew I had to go pick up the son and needed to be sober. I *really* wanted wine. The good news is I lost 2 more pounds this week. I'm not going to log it however, because I'm sure I'm about to put it right back on in the next few days. We shall see where I come in on Tuesday when I get back from Laguna.

    You lushes have a wonderful weekend. I will check in periodically, inbetween cocktails. :drinker:

    Bad red wine always makes good sangria!
    Last night-sangria, 2 bud lights
    One last lushy weekend then I am going to try and be good for June. Not 0s, but maybe just three nights of drinking...

    Just got back from a wine blending workshop followed by a 4 course dinner with wine pairings. It was a lot of fun and a lot of wine. We each blended a bottle of wine to bring home. It was an awesome way to kick off June.

    Can't believe it's June! Very lushy Thursday and last night. Now we're going to dinner with friends but I'm not sure I feel like boozing it up, weird I know but I'm still feeling the booze from last night soooooo might be good tonight.

    Hope everyone's weekend is going well so far :flowerforyou:

    I've been extremely lushy recently. However, I did go to the Y today & burned like 1023 calories! Heck yes! Now, I'm debating whether I want to be lushy again tonight or give it a break....hmm. There isn't any beer or wine in the house, so I'll have to go out again. We shall see! I'm right in the middle...kind of want to, but then again don't.

    Happy Saturday! Hope everyone is having a WONDERFUL weekend!

    Hubs and I were uber-lushy in NYC...hey, we were chaperoning 14 year-olds, we needed it! So, on Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday night we drank and this cute little pub by our hotel. By Wednesday, our livers were so hurting (expecially after our Saturday night, pre-trip blowout) that we cooled it. We're back to being good--I have a sinus infection, so nothing sounds good anyway.

    Had an amazing weekend down the shore with husbands cousins!!
    Thursday night I was so stressed an miserable, we stopped at the liquor store on the way home from the refi and got a bottle of watermelon vodka, did 5 shots and called it a night.
    Friday-3 beers, crap load of vodka tonics and some champagne
    Saturday-started the day with a few screw drivers (everyone else was drinking bloody marys....gosh I wish I like them....but I had to keep up). Had several beers at the beach, then a cocktail and several glasses of wine at dinner.
    Sunday-0
    Monday thru Thursday-0's are the plans.
    We are having friends over this upcoming weekend and we need to scrub the house top to bottom during the week, so either I'll be too tired to drink or I'll be too stressed and need a drink. Fingers crossed Kids its the former :happy:

    The new law went into efffect on Friday. So now in our state liquor is available at grocery stores and such instead of just state run liquor stores. But now it has another tax on it so it is uber expensive. So we may not be drinking as heavily just to save some money. Saturday was vodka, Sunday I had a blue moon and some tequila ( but only one shot)

    Lushy Friday, about 5 drinks Saturday and drinks yesterday as well. As for this week, I'm going for 0's Monday-Friday ... yes I'm going for a 0 on a Friday. Should be somewhat easy, the fiancé has to travel Wed-Fri and doesn't get home until 9:30 ish Friday so we'll probably just go to bed once he gets home.

    Monday - 0

    ugggh summertime always kills me!!

    Last week-

    Monday- 2 glasses of wine and 1 sangria
    Tuesday-Thursday-0
    Friday- margarita, 3 miller lite pints, 2 vodka tonics and about a half bottle of cab
    Saturday- margarita, a whole bottle of skinny girl margarita, 2 vodka and water, and 2 miller lites
    Sunday- 4 miller lites

    Looks so much worse when I type it out!!!!

    This week I will definitely have zeros until Thursday. Would like to go until Friday, but I have a half day at work and the hubs is off, so we will probably take the pup swimming at the lake and drink some beers. I am thinking steaks on the grill Friday night too, which of course means red wine :drinker:

    Hello Fellow lushes! It was a wild weekend with lots of drinks! Lets just say that I didn't even try counting Saturday since it was a boudoir photo shoot followed with my fiance's birthday celebration. I was hurting yesterday and only had 1/2 a beer to help the hangover so that is good. Lets not even talk about all the food that was consumed. But today is a new day and a new week! Planning on not drinking all week and possibly all weekend! Lets hope for good stuff!

    PS can someone please make me feel less guilty for all these drinks? I barely remember coming home and I feel awful about it. I always feel like I am better then this but I tend to let it get out of hand easily. Grr

    It still happens to me and you would think that a 52 year old woman would know better. and I do know better but such is life. At least it happens a lot less now than it used to. :noway:

    I seriously say every single weekend.....I am going to pace myself and then I totally overdo it at least one of the nights. So you are definitely not alone. We keep talking about trying to have a baby and I almost think maybe that will be good so I stop with the drinking, LOL!

    It's definitely a struggle. Sometimes are so much easier to stop but then others I just go "eff it" and drink more. Just something I have to work on and when I don't listen to myself and I go too far then I try and at least learn from that. Hang with us for support though :smile:

    Thanks so much everyone, This really made me feel a lot better and less guilty. I am soooooo much better than I was just even a few years ago letting this happen far too often. Now it is only about 1 or 2 times a month but I still have awful guilt and I hate being hungover and feeling like my stomach is an uncontrollable void. Glad to find a group of others that struggle with this.
