  • @missmay I have not tried carob but always looking for a new hot drink. For whatever reason hot drinks curb my cravings and helps them pass more quickly. I'll let you know what I think when I land some carob--thanks for the suggestion!

  • @HerNameIsMischief I like your idea to trade in drinking time for physical activities. Maybe try a nice hot chocolate to warm you up after playing in the snow. I found some dark hot chocolate powder that I dearly love--in fact, I think I will have one now! Enjoy your vacation and your dear mom.

  • I personally do not have the tracking time for additional challenges beyond participating in a couple threads here, but certainly not opposed to others using this thread for common challenge. You have some great ideas!

  • @Amanda_Brit_Expat That video. Wow. And to think I started so young to "be cool" and fit in. I need to let that video sink in today and then serve as further motivation. Thanks for sharing. @MissMay Congratulations. I don't know where a lot of us would be right now had you not started your thread 3 years ago. If I knew how…

  • 4 days mean you are over half way to a full week AF! Something good came out of Wednesday. For me it gets easier to drink something AF at the former trigger time. Now I start looking forward to the new "drink". Keep it up! I think we can all relate to the behavior differences we may experience when on the spirits and…

  • NSV weekend for me—AF at 2 events at 2 bars over 2 days, one of which included our neighborhood fun group. (All socially distanced of course!”) I was really apprehensive about the flack I would hear when I ordered a club soda with a splash of cranberry and a lime. Out of habit the bartender asked, “with Tito’s right?” “Not…

  • @MissMay said, "It reminded me of why I am on this journey. I was like that and at times worse in the past." Loved your story. I hated that "void" when others told stories after each night of my own drinking. I actually was sad for your friends as I read it. At 37 AF days currently, I think about if I would be able to do…

  • @starrjulia8 I'm worried about you, the stress you are under and your safety. Hopefully you are able to talk to your twin as a release for those things that are weighing on you. I hope you are able to carve out some time just for you somehow.

Was hard to distinguish habit from hunger the previous 2 days at my former break time. Today it was hunger that lasted about 20 min which is consistent with you both. Made it just short of 19…

  • @quiltingjaine Interested in the benefit you get from longer fasts. Sounds like reduced bloating and fat reduction more so than pounds, right? So do you only drink water during the fast periods?

I was actually afraid I would have reactions to going AF and am still shocked I have not. Also knowing that I have tendencies to hide that I am drinking when home and overpouring…

  • @trish1c I was surprised as well that the scale did not automatically drop during this dry streak. It did during the March 2020 dry streak, but I was also walking 3-4 miles a day which I am not now. That is likely the difference for me as I am still on the same calorie deficit. @Jeeplet18 Good for you taking action and…
