@RubyRed427 I wonder if she was training for the Camino de Santiago. I've always wanted to do that. October AF 11 A 5

@Alateriel75 such a good point about the money saved from not drinking or drinking less. I keep a color coded spread sheet of our finances, but I've always been too afraid to add up all the alcohol expenses. In fact, I'd often put it on a credit card and then pay it off so it would show up as a CC payment instead of a…

@SurferGirl1982 Congrats on an AF day! Did a lot of "fall" things today- took the kids to the pumpkin patch, brought the dog on a nice walk in the woods, made soup and homemade bread. It was a good day! October AF 9 A 5

October AF 8 A 4 Drank a little more last night than I have in the last few months so woke up feeling a little gross, but not terrible. A good workout fixed it. Probably going to be another alcohol night tonight, but I'll get back to an AF streak starting tomorrow.

Wow- that CDC article. Until late August, I was probably drinking at least triple of what's considered moderation for women, if not more. Today felt like a big win- my husband bought a 6 pack of beer because we needed a bottle for a soup recipe. Usually I would have told him to buy the 12 pack (I'd drink it, after all).…

@SurferGirl1982 - sorry you're struggling. I always find the second day to be the hardest personally. Sometimes I can get the first day just because of how *kitten* I feel- but the second day is where I feel like I need to really knuckle down and power through the cravings. I've quit cold turkey twice with no ill effects,…

I hope all those living in the path of the hurricane stay safe! I had a planned alcohol day yesterday and finished the two glasses of wine left in the bottle from Friday. Have a plan to be alcohol free until at least Friday this week. October AF 4 A 2

Ended up having wine 2 glasses of wine last night, but felt good about it since in the past I would have had the whole bottle. Probably AF tonight since I have to work in the morning, and my oldest's birthday party is this afternoon so I'm expecting to be tired. October AF 3 A 1

@SurferGirl1982 - I used to have a soda stream that I loved, but had a similar issue in that I used it to make mixed drinks- when I made lighter drinks I ended up just adding more vodka on top! I would love to say getting rid of it helped, but then I just bought seltzer in cans instead so...not really. Was AF last night…

It took me awhile to realize that my math was wrong in my original post- I'm aiming for 60% alcohol free days, not 40%. Whoops! Math is not my strong suit. Really proud of myself today- DH and I went out for lunch at a Mexican place and not only did I not totally derail my diet, but I also didn't order a margarita (even if…

Hi everyone- first time poster here. In late August I decided to drink less alcohol, in conjunction with going on a new medication- and I've been feeling really good! Just thought this might be a way to keep track of me A vs. NA days (and I've been lurking all of September, it was starting to feel a little weird that I…
