Shouldn't have....the stress dealing with my husband's health issues has given me a mouth full of sores and I was hoping to numb them a bit. Didn't work. Onward to AF tomorrow. One day at a time.

I appreciate it and hope to learn from it. Thinking of all of you on the East Coast dealing…

Posting for accountability. My AF streak ended at 33rd consecutive days. I'm disappointed that I let my husband's mental health issues get the best of me last night and drank 2 cocktails. On the bright side I did not follow that up with alcohol again tonight so 34 of the last 35 days have been AF. 12/25 - 12/31 AF 1/1 -…

Posting for accountability. 33rd consecutive day AF. 12/25 - 12/31 AF 1/1 - 1/26 AF Still happily drinking my Cranberry Diet5. Not making much progress on the Diet Coke front though!

Posting for accountability. 32nd consecutive day AF. 12/25 - 12/31 AF 1/1 - 1/25 AF My thoughts on wanting to have a drink in the evening have definitely dwindled. Most days it isn't even a consideration anymore. I know at some point I will likely drink again, but until there is a good reason to do so (social event, etc) I…

Posting for accountability. 31st consecutive day AF. 12/25 - 12/31 AF 1/1 - 1/24 AF My husband is dealing with some physical and mental health issues right now. It is so difficult to watch because he is a very high achiever running a successful growing company, chairing boards, etc. I considered having a drink late this…

Posting for accountability. 30th consecutive day AF. 12/25 - 12/31 AF 1/1 - 1/23 AF Went back to the frozen tundra today for a bit. Going to be hard not to drink when there isn't much too do here in the winter! I will prevail though. Need to get to the store and get my Cranberry Diet5.

Posting for accountability. 28th consecutive day AF. 12/25 - 12/31 AF 1/1 - 1/21 AF Almost had a drink tonight and told myself I could just quit posting here if i went down a rabbit hole. Then I thought this is a commitment to me not to the group on MFP. I am happily drinking my Cranberry Diet5 and Pellegrino while…

Posting for accountability. 27th consecutive day AF. 12/25 - 12/31 AF 1/1 - 1/20 AF 4 cans of Diet Coke again today. The fatigue was real. I did take 2 walks totaling 5 1/2 miles or who know how many I would have drank. Happy Weekend everyone. Oh and Go Pack Go for any of you NFL fans out there. Going to be cold in Green…

@globalhiker I hope you can get out and enjoy the sunshine a little bit. I am still struggling with fatigue, sneezing and a runny nose. A walk outside and some time on the lounger at least seem to boost my mood a bit. Hoping you feel better soon!

@MissMay kindly starts a new thread for us each month. It is usually available a few days before the end of the month and has the same title with the new month name. Please join in anytime!

Posting for accountability. 27th consecutive day AF. 12/25 - 12/31 AF 1/1 - 1/20 AF Only 2 Diet Cokes today. Half of my normal consumption. Progress! @MissMay I just realized we are both on the same day of our current AF streak. 🙃

Posting for accountability. 26th consecutive day AF. 12/25 - 12/31 AF 1/1 - 1/19 AF Only 3 cans of Diet Coke again today. I ran to the store and got Diet5 Cranberry juice and did not buy any Diet Coke. Only a few cans left in the house. We'll see if I can hold out. Last winter there was a Diet Coke supply chain issue here…

Posting for accountability. 25th consecutive day AF. 12/25 - 12/31 AF 1/1 - 1/18 AF Whatever bug I have seems to be getting worse not better. Despite feeling run down I did cut back my Diet Coke from 4 cans to 3 today. Baby steps. @LilyLady3k I have a new grandson to set up with your beautiful granddaughter 18 years down…

@globalhiker Good news! Sorry it hit you so hard. I figured since I am here alone (my husband is gone for 2 weeks) there isn't anyone for me to expose. I have just been going for walks outside and eating whatever is available in my house. I work from home so I have been around no one at all since I started feeling sick. I…

Posting for accountability. 24th Consecutive AF. 12/25 - 12/31 AF 1/1 - 1/17 AF @Xellercin I totally failed on the less Diet Coke front today. Like many others here I have either a cold or mild Coronavirus so am really dragging. I looked into getting a Covid test nearby, but by the time I could get an appointment there…

Posting for accountability. Day 23 AF. 12/25 - 12/31 AF 1/1 - 1/16 AF I'm not sure why going AF has been so easy this time. I do think the daily drinking of 1 or 2 drinks had just become a habit and not so much an addiction. I rarely drank more than 2 drinks in an evening. I think I am getting to the point that not…

@MissMay...I hope we don't have to relive week 3 of January 2020. That was the start of this madness! :'(

Posting for accountability. Day 21 AF. 12/25 - 12/31 AF 1/1 - 1/14 AF I saw a comment from Annie Grace today that if you are a daily drinker and just do Dry January you will drink 8.5% less this year. I like thinking about it that way.

Posting for accountability. Day 20 AF. I have been keeping track on the I Am Sober app. It has a very active community and I like that it asks me to pledge each morning and then review at the end of the day 12/25 - 12/31 AF 1/1 - 1/13 AF Last day with my grandbabies in New Mexico tomorrow and then headed back to Arizona.…
