LOL! That's what comes to mind first when I see it

Woohoo!!! I was hoping you did well!!! Good for you!!!

I am contemplating one glass of red wine at one of the Italian restaurants we like to go to. It's Friday and I like to unwind after a long week. I really am not craving a drink but the bartender always buy us one round on him. We'll see

All great things!!! I can relate to the dinner bill. Our bill use to be over $100. Now it's like $50. So nice!! It's sooooo sweet your daughter is super supportive of you! <3 <3 <3 <3

I'm impressed that you can drink 3 drinks the night b4 and run 9 miles the next day!!!!

That is the key. Learning how to drink in moderation. At least that is my issue.

Superbowl weekend. I do not PLAN to drink. If I do it might be one or two and that is it. We can do this everyone!!! We will make it through the weekend!!!!!

That was me LOL! All the best to your husband.

This is great!! Thanks for sharing!!!

Funny I just posted on this. Keep doing what you are doing eventually he will come around. My husband was never a drinker until he met me. He still is only a social drinker. But since I've been working on myself he is starting to feel like he should cut back. So you stay strong. He will see your progress and it will rub…

Well good news I think I might be rubbing off on my husband. He mentioned that he needs to cut back and get his healthy eating back on track. We went to dinner last night. I just drank water. He had one beer. Normally he would have like 3 Long Islands.

I enjoyed reading this!! You almost got me when you said you went to make the rum and coke LOL!

My goal is to have 0 binge days!!! I can do this because I feel I have this more under control.

Well consider yourself successful. I normally would have 2-3 binge days every weekend. Last month I slipped and had one binge the entire month.

You did very well. It's not like you drank that everyday. Or did you??? :p

No one answered my question how long does the sweet cravings last? :)

Oh the pressure!!! You did good staying strong!!!

That is really interesting. I would never had thought about that! I have never been a sweet eater but within the last 2-3 weeks I've been craving peanut M&Ms. It got so bad I called my husband at work to buy a pack from the vending machine and bring home LOL!!! I work from home and I was too lazy to go get some LOL!!! :D I…

You will do great!! Happy bday to your MIL that is amazing 90 years old. That is a blessing! And enjoying their martinis LOL too cute!

Congratulations on the 11 lbs weight loss!!!! I am so jealous!! LOL! That is amazing!!

Wine!

Ok all I have been invited to two Superbowl parties this Sunday. I turned them both down. I am just not in the mood to socialize and to be frank I am not in the mood to drink or just deal with people asking me to drink or why I'm not drinking. I just want to relax. Last weekend I had that binge Friday and I am just not in…

Welcome to the group!! Reading these threads really helps me to stay mindful as well in how much wine I consume.

Chicago To Go

I am in!!! I got superbowl, my grandson's bday (alcohol incl), a play with my cousin. I plan to be AF the whole time!!!!

Went to dinner and dancing with hubby and 3 other couples. I stuck to one glass of wine the entire night. It did help that some others weren't drinking so it eased a lot of pressure. I am proud of myself for getting back on track.

I am so proud of you!!!

Yesterday I went to dinner and a jazz club with my cousin. She is my partner in crime. I went in with the intention of only having 2 drinks. Well I completely crashed and burned, I fell off the wagon and it rolled on top of me, backed up and finished the job!!! I binged drank and had two cigarettes. I had a hangover this…

You have fun rewards!

I agree with all of the above. When I started working out in the mornings I didn't think I could do it but once I committed and got into the habit I can only workout in the mornings. I take a quick shower that helps to wake me up even more. I find that I am relaxed and energized the whole day.
