Good morning LA/AF friends - Thank you all for the birthday well wishes and also for the condolences; it's been a bit of a roller coaster week for sure. @NonnieDoiron That is really a lot of trash for one week in one neighborhood, I rarely see any trash in my neighborhood. I guess lucked out moving here, I would hate to…

My March: AF: 2 A: 6 Had a rough start to this month AF-wise: got word a friend passed away; had my birthday; went to friend's viewing. But, dinner for my birthday involved one 9-ounce glass of wine and a switch to herbal tea when we got home. The waitress asked if I wanted a 6 or 9 ounce glass, and I knew if I ordered the…

OMG - this is me exactly! And thank you for putting it into actual words since I had none to describe what I've been feeling! Hope to be back to earth tomorrow and actually post something.

My Feb Final: AF=11 A=17

My Feb: AF=10 A=10

My Feb: AF=8 A=10 Have a super busy next 4 days so may not be back until Monday. Hope everyone has a great rest of the week and weekend.

My Feb: AF=6 A=7 LA= (moved to the A line)

@EricONeill4928 Welcome to the group. You'll find lots of no-judgement support here, so chime in anytime you want or need to.

@itladyee nice job moderating on super bowl Sunday. @looneycatblue congrats on the record sleep score! @MissMay only 2 weeks to fall out of shape - YIKES! I've been going weeks at a time with no workouts, guess it's time to get my butt back to a regular gym schedule. @globalhiker month 6 - IMPRESSIVE! Your jim beam story…

My Feb: AF=5 A=6 LA=1 I don't generally count LA days 'cause, let's face it, I don't do LA - I'm either drinking the whole bottle or bottle and half of wine, or I'm not drinking at all :# . But I had a bottle and half on Tuesday, and when I got up yesterday morning I saw there was some left in the glass (5-6 oz). So, since…

@margim5 great job getting through the workweek AF - you should feel very proud. @NonnieDoiron congratulations to your son! What a great accomplishment. And your manicure is very pretty. @surfergirl I've white-knuckled a few days in Feb already, LOL. We have lots of February left, lets keep working on those AF days!…

My Feb: AF=4 A=5

My Feb: AF=3 A=4

Sorry I'm showing up so late to the party. Looks like just about everyone is off to a good start to their month, whether it's an AF/LA February 1st thing, or multiple days already this month - nice job. For those that feel their not quite meeting their goals, this is a great place to be for inspiration and support.…

My Jan: AF=16 A=15 Sorry to post so late in the Jan thread - see you all in February!

My Jan: AF=15 A=12 Just wanted to update my stats. Be back tomorrow to chat. Good night all!

@tobinross great job with the exercise goals - and the AF free January so far is amazing! I'm in for an AF February too. @chicbuc let us know how you like the NA drinks, and what they are if you do like them. @itladyee glad to hear you're on the mend, hopefully you'll be back 100% tomorrow or the next day.

@surfergirl1982 you're doing great this month!! You can still get into the double digits by the end of this month. They give credits for non-smoking so they definitely should also give it for non-drinking! Great AF win while dealing with an ungrateful neighbor. It's a shame she can't see that all of you around her are…

My Jan: AF=13 A=12 @SurferGirl1982 I think you're doing great this month, and as others have said, you should be very proud of yourself! @shpuniarsky Congrats on the 7 day streak, those same kind of thoughts pop into my head too. @chicbuc as long as you keep trying your goals are achievable. I like this, and I'm anxiously…

@SurferGirl1982 another winning night - hooray for you! @itladyee I hope you and your hubby get better soon. I had wine last night, but had an eight day AF streak - longest I've had in over a year. We're going to dinner tonight, so I may end up having wine again, but tomorrow will be the start of another AF run for me. My…

@Womona my sister in New Jersey said they haven't gotten as many inches as us for the whole winter so far. I hope you get better sleep tonight. @tmbg1 your stats this month are inspiring! @tobinross good luck on your weigh Sunday. My Jan: AF=13 A=10

Delete - MFP duplicated my post above

@itladyee sounds like you had a wonderfully healthy day, and did double duty with the workout/box emptying. I almost went to the store and picked up wine today - I had to fight off cravings a couple of times this afternoon. Then, at one point, I realized it wasn't necessarily wine I wanted, it was just that I'm sick of…

@chicbuc 4 glasses over 7 hours sounds like you moderated pretty well. @womona I hope your back gets better soon - it's hard to get backs to heal up, we use those muscles whether we're sitting or standing or doing practically anything. @SurferGirl1982 I hope you have another great win tonight. Let us know tomorrow how you…

Jan: AF=12 A=10 Yesterday was 7 AF days in a row!! WOOHOO

@tobinross Tracking food definitely helps in the weight loss department; I've been pretty lax about it these last few weeks, and it's showing on the scale. Nice job on the AF days (my favorite NA beer is the Stella Liberte) So much to think about in these few sentences - faster failure recovery, not putting oneself down or…

LOL, for the record, I've always been a little odd 🙃. I'm with you for an AF February and maybe a 90 day run (I have a wedding mid-March, so I'll need some strong willpower to get through not just that day, but a whole week visiting my sister). I have to agree with @chicbuc, that emotional dependence is very hard to break.…

@shpuniarsky welcome, we're always glad to have another person on board for this journey. There's a lot of support and encouragement here, just keep coming back. @chicbuc despite the A days, it sounds like you really did well with other healthy choices. Glad you had a good time, welcome back home. @itladyee you're so close…

@MissMay we're supposed to get snow/ice here in SC too, although I think it's going to be west of us. Love the fancy glasses and umbrellas idea. Thank you all for support and well wishes. Quick update: My SO took his brother to a doctor yesterday after he spent the whole day before falling to sleep on the couch. They did a…

@surfergirl1982 First I have to say congratulations on the 6 AF days so far this month! Next, even bigger congrats on pouring the rest of the pint down the sink yesterday! Third, a big nod of agreement to everything everybody else has said yesterday and today.
