Back on the thread, if only to lurk for a while. Fell off the wagon on a March vacation. Back on it today. Less doesn't work for me but starting a dry streak seems to help! So I will join (or steal) @globalhiker goal to be AF at least until July 4th. Going to use the mocktail approach, with large ice cubes in fancy…

Tesha HW: 186 GW: 150 R139 - 167.9 R140 - 168.8 R141 - 166.5 R142 - only a week away from scale abandonment. Will need to track in FL on an old-school scale on gym days for several weeks. Plan to eat and exercise as I have learned and see how I end up on my normal scale in April. I got this. Day/Weight/Comment 02/21 -…

I went to a liquor store today. Bought a bottle of my hubs favorite bourbon that takes him about a year to drink—the weirdo! Lol. We are driving to our place in FL Sunday and you can’t get it there. My bottle of choice was also there. And the handle was $7 less than it is in Florida, so I bought it to take down there. Now,…

@thompsjared3 Almost a month--WOOT! I feel exactly what you are saying. While having an impressive AF streak sounds impressing to some, those like "us" are in awe of those who can hold it to one or two drinks at a time and only sometimes. No side eye, but I secretly checked the price on a Tito's handle yesterday as I was…

@globalhiker I actually started with Dec 14 as my first AF day so the overall number probably is higher as I lose track on the daily count. I know it will be 107 AF days on Easter when we finish our Lenten buddy challenge! LOOK at YOU though. Gosh—21 days feels great, doesn’t it? I actually remember my 21st AF day because…

Spot on. Following the aging “normal”, 30 lbs rationally snuck up on me in no time. I over-achieved on alcohol consumption and grew my justification confidence to dispel anyone’s voice of concern. No more normal for me! AF day 68–Lenten day 4. (Officially 20 lbs down which is taking much longer than putting it on!)

Hi all, just checking out this page again and recognizing a few folks that I originally met on the Less Alcohol thread. I currently am on a 67-day AF streak with a new goal to be AF through the Lenten season. I may be lurking here from time to time until I feel I can really feel worthy of the sober squad distinction!

Super-excited to see spouses joining in the "less" and sharing in AF days together. So much easier with in-home support!

@UTMom81 have you noticed the progress you are making this round? FIRE! @starrjulia8 You are gorgeous--so confident in your new pix. Keep standing strong even if he heard you this time. Not sure your whole story but feels like he has a pattern of returning to bad behavior. @Honey_Pumpkin39 love your positive self talk in…

@lisamestiza2021 I was not sick but I was nervous I wouldn't make it to 50 because of my father's sudden death at 49 due to his heart. Those who didn't know always said don't you feel old--you are going to be the big 5-0"! Doesn't that bother you? Nearly 10 years later, the answer is still "no!" That said, I am sorry for…

@SModa61 That is a long drive! Ours will only be 18 hours from IL to Ft. Myers. Interested to know what road food items you took. If we drive straight through, we will need nutrition within arms reach. Can't wait to walk the beach!

@globalhiker YAY! Glad to have you as a 40 Days of Lent partner. I also really appreciate you sharing the strategy you and the hubs talked about not falling into a regular drinking pattern. Made me realize it is that type of "pattern" that scares me into staying AF for now. Unlike many on this thread, I do not (or can…

@Lilylady3k GORGEOUS flowers and home! @lmlmrn @globalhiker & hubs - great willpower! @lisamestiza2021 selected your video last light to meditate myself to sleep. Loved the mix. Just need to work (a lot) on honing my focus. @MissMay Such a sweet gesture to remember those you cherish with lovely cakes. For all, remember,…

So I went to church in person yesterday. First time in a looooong time. Knowing this is not a religious platform, I will just say I am strongly considering giving up alcohol for lent. That is 45 days (if you count Sundays which the faith doesn't because they are days of celebration). Even though I have a pretty good AF…
