@AmberlyMarlene I'd love you to tell me about your experience in the Navy. My oldest is considering joining the military and it terrifies me to send her. I know very little about women in the armed forces. She is currently in ground school for aviation and wants to be a pilot and/or mechanic. And great job cutting back.…

Good morning! I never really did an introduction when I popped on here again. I've been off and on MFP since 2014. You'd think I'd learn to keep the weight off. Anyways I'm a stay at home mom to many who has had a long on and off again relationship with drinking. I started drinking at the young age of 11 and fell in love…

Af today Running total 2 days A 3 days AF

I'm back! It's been a few years and way to many pounds but I'm here. Goals for this month: only have a drink if I'm on a date and during Christmas/birthday celebrations. AF: 2 A: 2

I lost my whole post!!!! Argh! Anyways, not AF tonight. Too much stress this week and bought 2 beers. 6 of 10 af this month. I wanted to say wow I'm really impressed with you who are willing to drive so long for a shot. Kudos!!! I personally won't be getting one. But I'm highly allergic to eggs, ibuprofen and many other…

I'm still hanging in. 5 af days out of 8 so far this month. When I do drink it's pre-planned amounts and no overindulgence. Aiming for another longer af streak, like 2 weeks dry.

Checking in. I did not stay af last night. I bought a beer and a little carton of wine and drank them both. Rolling total 25 out of 27 days af. Thinking about buying the same for tonight while I'm out.

High pain day for me. My hip has been hurting and my back has been spasming all day. I have had a hard time getting anything done today, it has been depressing. It really set off my want to drink. There is a bottle of wine in the cabinet and the only thing keeping me from drinking it right now is the thought of upsetting…

Checking in. Af 20/21 days.

@lisamestiza2021 Sorry for the loss of your mother and your diagnosis. Those anniversaries are difficult. I lost my dad 3 years ago, its hard. It's also hard because I have children who don't remember him, he was a great Papa. He passed from lung cancer, no suprise after being a lifetime smoker. It took him very quickly.…

Happy Valentines all. My husband is still stuck at work and will be sleeping there again. At least it will be a nice paycheck. @Womona I use dip powders for my nails, brands like revel or sparkle and co. It def takes a steady hand, time, and practice. But these slime green nails should last me two weeks. Keeps reminding me…

@lisamestiza2021

Ha no. 😂 it's a beanie baby dragon

Still snowed in. Did my nails, they are way outside my comfort zone, but husband requested this color 😳. Really wanting a drink tonight. My mother is driving me nuts (she lives with me) Feeling blah. Trying to channel my energy into cleaning the house.

Well husband is stuck at work. I'm stuck at home. I don't think I could get out of my driveway if I needed to. Happily staying AF, nothing in the house. I plan to do my nails today. Now to pick a color 🤔

Staying AF. Only slipped up once this month. It's snowing and cold here and Portland is a mess. I don't mind because I can stay home, but hate that Husband has to drive in it. Oddly the stress is not making me want to drink. So I'm just stuck stressing.

Back to AF today

Hard fail here today. Chugged 3 beers, only 3 in the house and lied to my husband about it. I feel like poop for what I did behind his back. I was at 18 AF days in a row. Starting over tomorrow 😔

We did take-out and at dinner in our hotel robes 😂 Maybe I'll ware the dress next time we get a date and it's warmer out.

17 days in a row AF 🙌 Heading home tomorrow. I want to keep this number growing.

Still AF for this month. Trying to find a place to eat out tonight that is not outdoors. I really don't want to sit outside in my nice dress freezing my rear off.

On a weekend away with the husband, it's a very heavy drinking culture here. But we are both remaining AF. Sorry I'm way behind on the thread. Not sure when I'll get caught up.

@Tesha231 great job staying AF! It's hard. I don't particularly like it yet, but I will keep going. My family and health are worth it. I took 2 drinks out of a beer, does this count? I was making chili and there was enough left for 2 swallows. I probably should have dumped it, just those 2 drinks were enough to light up…

@globalhiker Fre wine is gross. Tired it once, never again. I wonder if the people who write good reviews on it have never had real wine before? And I totally understand the not sleeping thing. I sleep like poo no matter if I drink or not. Even if I take melatonin I'm awake with in 4 hours. @CMB44512 makes total sense to…

@globalhiker great job on your first AF day. I'm almost 2 weeks AF now and the sugar cravings have hit me HARD! It's frustrating for me, I'm trying really hard to be careful with my calories and I have gone over all week due to sweets. My brain is looking for that elusive serotonin.

My goal is a dry February

19/31 days AF this month. I misssd my goal of dry January, but it's way better than my average of 5 AF days a month. @globalhiker I'm going to be AF for an extended period but want to stay in the group. We can buddy up if you're willing, we can cheer each other on. As a side note I lost 11 pounds this month 🙌 probably…

@HerNameIsMischief ha. I'm slow I just relized we both have Alice in Wonderland theamed avitars. But I rotate my avatar pretty often. I dislike international quotes too, they do nothing for me. So I read them and move on. I have learned if you want to change a habbit you can do nothing but rely on yourself. No quote of…

Awesome job!

9 days AF in a row here. Last night was a little difficult. Really wanted to stop and get a beer or two. But I did not. My family and husband are worth more than 2 beers. Grand total of 18/28 days AF this month. I won my dietbet this month too. Not sure how much yet, but at least the $40 I put into it. I'm officially down…
