Finally got my test results today, Negative. What a relief! ErikNJ, any news? Not trying to pry, just thinking about you.

Welcome back, you've been missed!

My 6 week stretch of not going over my limit is over. Saturday night it snuck up on me, and then last night it seemed like it didn't matter. No excuses, no self recriminations, I really just didn't care last night. So today I start again! Since I went that long, I can go longer. Hope you all have a great day!

This, just this. I'm going to do it. Everything you say makes sense. Thanks for pointing out the flip side!

Thanks everyone for the well wishes!

I hope she gets good news, and quickly! *hugs* sending warm thoughts to both of you.

@Orphia I had a biopsy Monday. Trying not to stress, not successful today. Thanks for your good thoughts. :)

Busy day pacing, waiting for test results. No news. Good news is I got a lot of steps, LOL. Haven't gone over my drink limit but went over calories. I'm ok with it. Its just so hard not knowing.

Pacing around, waiting for test results, throwing out random things. Time to clean a dresser!

I've been popping in all day too. Its the slowest I remember. I'm guessing work and nice weather.

Thanks all, I've come to the same conclusion...not to tell him yet. I told my hubby and daughter. They agree with you. I'm actually doing ok, not as freaked as I'd expect. I'm sticking to my goal, or under, not eating any stupider than usual lol, pretty good mind set. Thanks for the support! I'll keep you updated, but…

Thank you for the warm thoughts. I'm sending some back and I'm glad things turned out relatively ok.

Had a biopsy done today. Should have results by the end of the week. I figured I'd call my dad tomorrow and let him know. I've been debating that all day. He called tonight to tell me a joke, God I love that! He was watching a game, didn't want to keep me, and yet I could tell he wanted some company. My sister usually…

Congratulations!

Thanks! I'm surprising myself. Wouldn't have gotten this far without everyone here. :)

I have been sticking to, or under my goal since getting home last week. May was not hard because of babysitting, but I was worried about June. I have been AF 2 nights this week, unplanned. I've learned from this thread to listen to my body. I used to open a beer at "beer thirty" automatically. This week I haven't. My hubby…

This is so sad

I have been talking about going through my cupboards since I got home but my yarn stash has been all I can focus on. I had 1 1/2 dressers plus 2 trash bags full of yarn. Not to mention shopping bags strung throughout the house. I finally pulled all the yarn I won't use into the spare bedroom and sorted it. I've been making…

I lost 8 lbs in May! Cutting back on the beer was a lot of it. Being in charge of 3 kids, ages 9 months - 5 years, probably helped too, LOL

I wondered what that was.

Had an unplanned AF night last night. I just didn't want a beer. That makes 6 for the month of May. Granted I was sick for 4 of them, but that's still a lot for me.

Got home today! Tomorrow I plan to start going through my kitchen cupboards. I'm looking forward to it :)

May was a successful month for me. I drank under my goal almost every day. I was babysitting my grandkids, and that made it easy. Am on the way home, hopefully I can continue into June.

Eric, I think we have all been where you are. I often wonder why I sabotage myself. Its as if I have to break a rule, even if its mine!

So the kids and I have had the worst cold this week. I fell asleep as soon as my daughter took them up to bed at 7pm., one night. Was AF 4 nights in a row. Only drank 2 beers last night and managed to stay awake till 10. The kids seem to be over it. I think I'm on the mend, slow going.

I think we all do this to a certain extent.

I'm so sorry for your loss. Sometimes throwing things helps. Stay strong, we are here for you.

Happy Mother's day to all of you beautiful women! I'm still babysitting (grin) and so have been sticking to, or under my limit. I went over twice but wasn't on duty. Sorry I'm not posting often, I'll try to more often.

I have the same issue with boredom. I knit or crochet while I watch tv, it slows my drinking way down. Of course, I can't drink when I'm working on a complicated project, so I start drinking later.
