I'm day 7 AF. And must say feeling good. Sleeping well melatonin helps! But also feeling determined to go long term at least 90 days and going from there. Wish me luck. Feeling euphoric!

Hi guys I've been off this for a few weeks. I'm back with a vengeance. Can't handle drinking anymore. Easter I was drinking before dinner and had my daughter and family over. I imbibed too much and i called my daughter a week later Saturday. Drinking again which she could telll. She wasn't happy with me and basically said…

Wow you look amazing. Your skin looks so bright. Wonderful job. I've just decided yesterday to quit drinking. Day 2 for me. I'm so determined and I know I have to do this. Wish me luck!

Loved watching her videos just now. Very insightful. Boredom is my main issue and also habit of old routine when hubby and I are together. Decided now to get busy every evening. Think I will enjoy. Just some soul searching what I need to do to occupy my time. Gym is great but that doesn't keep me busy enough. Well now…

Hi just checking in. Oh my this is a daily struggle. Isn't it. I do find if no alcohol around much easier to abstain. Problem is when it's available one leads to two etc. Binged Friday Saturday on alcohol. But 3 days back AF. I noticed Sunday slept terrible. Thinking guilt and anger. But slept so good last night and back…

Well it's Sunday. And I'm down 3 lbs!!! Hard to understand but soo happy.

Thank you. I'm just depressed as this has let me down. I am trying to b positive but the scales don't help me. I've avoided them for almost 2 weeks and to see this gain is very disappointing

I will tomorrow. Thank you missmay! I need encouragement!

I guess but I was hoping to see weight loss. Ugh. This is hard battle. This group and the gym friends r keeping me going. I just want to see weight loss. Soo hard!!

Well I'm mad 9 days AF and been exercising crazy and logging everything and weighed myself. Up a pound. I ended up drinking. I'm on 3 white rum and club sodas watching tv. Still going to gym tomorrow but Pissed. Very frustrated. Doing lots of cardio and weightlifting. More than I've done in past 5? Years consistently.…

Awesome. Sounds like great advice!! Again congrats

You know one drink each evening is awesome I think that shows great control!

That's true. There's a method to their madness!

Wow I started mid January. I've been going to the gym and changing my eating and cutting way back on alcohol. I've been doing lots of cardio and weight machines. Any advice? You look awesome girl!

I do find it funny as bars are so conscious of the booze amount it shares as $$. Hmm...

Oh my don't feel guilty. We're human. I think just being aware is a step up from before. Hang in there!

Great idea!

Happy Saturday to everyone also! Day 3 AF and feeling so good. Getting ready to go to gym to do yoga and work on weights. So inspired reading everyone's comments! Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!

So true julieAL! I've noticed since I joined in January that I am so more conscious of alcohol and do feel I've come a long way. Still wkg on when DH as he is AF when he works away and enjoys it much when he's home (shift worker who works away 16 and home 12). I'm improved so much tho and feeling I'm on the right path

I have to also agree. I’m not perfect but this does help keep me accountable. I’m loving this support. Sometimes we get busy but always love coming back here to refocus when this happens

Awesome. I've started this journey and I'm not planning on going AF completely. But I'm amazed how this group has helped me be more mindful and I've still cut back significantly. Def a big help. This is such a great support group.

Thanks. Nope back on track. Amazing when I'm not drinking how much more motivated I am and on track. And of course eating and sleeping better!

Awesome. Thanks for your encouraging words. I just came from yoga and weight machines. Pushed myself and feeling so pleased!

I hear ya. I do feel guilty when I go off track. I'm back on day one AF and I'm refocusing back at gym. Ugh my back is not good and after being away from it for 12 days. I guess I've set myself up to almost start from scratch. I do read daily everyone's comments, struggles, etc. You guys r awesome. You all keep me…

Well I went off for 10 days while DH is home. I knew it. Thrown right off again. Had great time and alsostopoed the gym. Ugh bad influence.

What I've found is that I'm more aware of what I'm eating and much more diligent logging everything.

I am constantly checking in on this as I find it very helpful. Thank you to all for being so honest. I'm on 12 day AF. Tomorrow's a different thing as I'm allowing myself drinks Friday and Saturday while DH is home. Hoping I can commit to just these days for this week and next week and then back to AF again...

Thanks. Alzzi76. I live in Canada. Not sure where to look here. But thanks for your info!!
