I’m so sorry @MissMay. Thank you for continuing to support us all when you are going through such a hard time.

Good to hear from you @whitpauly! I agree with @MissMay that you are an inspiration. I missed your posts and glad to see you are back.

@dawnbgethealthy, good luck at your job interview!

Exercise definitely helped my mood yesterday. Did a strength training workout this mornjng. While good for me, I feel that I need some cardio or a long walk each day to help keep my mood elevated. Hope you are all doing well. @whitpauly - how are you? Haven’t seen one of your posts in a while. Hope all is well! 3/1 - more…

Hit a wall today. Feel exhausted. I still went for a walk after work and have a virtual Zumba class tomorrow morning. Hoping for some endorphins. I got some David’s tea and have been enjoying that. Hope you have all been doing well. 3/1 - more like 3 drinks 🤦‍♀️ 3/2 - AF drinking my tea and hoping for good sleep tonight…

Kids were more squirrely today but still doing okay. Trying to just focus on one day at a time. 3/1 - more like 3 drinks 🤦‍♀️ 3/2 - AF drinking my tea and hoping for good sleep tonight 3/3 - AF drinking my tea 3/4 - AF drinking my tea 3/5 - AF drinking my tea.

Hanging in there. Kids have done really well with the schedule we set up, which includes 2 hours of outside time. Supposed to rain tomorrow but still thinking they can have fun with raincoats and boots but maybe not as long. 3/1 - more like 3 drinks 🤦‍♀️ 3/2 - AF drinking my tea and hoping for good sleep tonight 3/3 - AF…

Work trip was cancelled. It means less income for me so a bit stressful but hoping I can reschedule end of April or May. Trying to figure out some schedules and curricula for my kids, ages 4 and 9. They are home with us indefinitely while we both telework. 😱 3/1 - more like 3 drinks 🤦‍♀️ 3/2 - AF drinking my tea and hoping…

Glad I resisted tonight!

Feeling burned out this week. Reflected on why I had two unplanned nights of drinking this week and I have a plan for moving forward. Gotta make my tea a nightly ritual again and ask my husband to help even if that means just me staying away from the kitchen during that time of the night. ❤️ to all. 3/1 - more like 3…

Busy week at work but it’s going okay so far. My husband is freaking out a bit about coronavirus and I’m trying to stay calm but also listen to him since he never acts like this. I just wish he wouldn’t bring it up right before bed. Hope you’re all doing well! 3/1 - more like 3 drinks 🤦‍♀️ 3/2 - AF drinking my tea and…

Weather is feeling spring-like this weekend and I was able to get outside and be active, which was great for my mood! I was a little paranoid about being in the sun as I had surgery for skin cancer a few months ago. I had sunscreen on but I really need to find a good hat. I may have book club tomorrow (host is thinking of…

A busy week at work with even busier schedule next week. Starting to feel stressed but trying to manage that with talking and exercising versus eating and drinking. 3/1 - more like 3 drinks 🤦‍♀️ 3/2 - AF drinking my tea and hoping for good sleep tonight 3/3 - AF drinking my tea 3/4 - AF drinking my tea 3/5 - AF drinking my…

Finally got a good night’s sleep last night! Hoping for another tonight. 3/1 - more like 3 drinks 🤦‍♀️ 3/2 - AF drinking my tea and hoping for good sleep tonight 3/3 - AF drinking my tea

Thanks @MissMay! Feels good to keep coming back to this wonderful supportive thread. 😁 3/1 - more like 3 drinks 🤦‍♀️ 3/2 - AF drinking my tea and hoping for good sleep tonight

I’m in! My goal is 18 AF days this month and limit to 2 drinks. 3/1 - 2 drinks

8/12 AF days here. Had a couple drinks at book club last night and it was planned. It’s nice to feel more in control of my decisions. Now onto my food choices! Great job to everyone checking in!

7/10 AF days here. Have a planned drinking night tomorrow, which gave me the push I needed to not drink tonight.

TGIF! Getting takeout tonight and planning to drink tea after my meal. 5/6 days AF since starting again. Hope you all have a great weekend!

3/4 days AF since starting again. Really want something tonight but resisting with some tea and an ice cream bar.

@dawnbgethealthy, thank you for the encouragement! 2/3 AF days since starting again

Made it through - day 1 AF of starting again

Hi! Been neglecting checking in this month - similar to January. I have had a drink almost every day for the last several days. Even though I had some AF days at the beginning of the month, I’m starting fresh today. No looking back (translation: trying my best not to beat myself up for bad decisions). Day 1 AF and will…

Hi all! Been feeling so tired but otherwise doing well. Not planning to drink tonight. Have a few things to do for my son’s 9th birthday party tomorrow. Happy Friday! 4/6 days AF

Hi all! 3/4 days AF Sleep has been challenging this week, and when I’m tired, I have a harder time saying no to food and drink. Knowing I’m checking in here helps. ❤️

Happy Monday. Checking in 1/2 days AF

Thank you, @MissMay for the February thread! I fell off checking in during January and didn’t like how I fell back into old habits. Striving to check in daily this month! Goal: 18 AF days 0/1 for February

8 AF days this month. Work has been stressful and I am feeling it at home, especially before bed. Anxiety creeping in. Trying to work through my feelings instead of shoving them down with food and alcohol. Thanks to everyone who has posted. Love reading through them all and coming here for support.

6 Af days so far. Great job to everyone checking in, even if everything hasn’t gone 100% according to plan. You’re doing the work and getting stronger everyday!
