Welcome new posters! I am kind of new myself, joining last month, but I have had a lot of great interactions, motivations and learned a ton. Jan was 28/31 AF. A planned day out, a celebration with champagne and a sneaky glass at dinner one night. Results / What I learned: - sleeping so much better - lost 10 lbs in the…

Sorry to be MIA here. I have read through everything and will try to be more interactive in February! As anticipated I had some drinks (wine) on Saturday for our day out in NY. Tons of walking seemed to offset that weigh-in wise, but I felt like crap on Sunday morning. My DH said “I hope that didn’t set you back”. I told…

So, I had my first A day in January last night. But... it was a celebratory glass of champagne (Veuve!) to mark the end of a nearly 4 month period of unemployment for my DH. He finally landed a contracting gig (he's in the pharma field). It's been stressful, frustrating and, at times, marriage-straining. If we had gone a…

I am a wine drinker as well. I agree, most are grape juice in a fancy bottle. I do like the Fre Bubbly. Not AS sweet, but still sweet. I get it at my liquor store for $7.99, but it's $11 in the supermarket. Sheesh. The Prosecco I usually drink is only $10! I don't like to drink AF wines unless I am in a social situation…

Wow, so much to catch up on after a weekend! :) Stayed AF this weekend... but I also didn't go anywhere, so temptation was low. I was really bummed yesterday morning when I weighed in (I weigh on a 4-day rolling schedule). I was so diligent, so mindful - yet I was up 1.2 lbs. I hate the scale. But... I did all the things…

Well, I did it... DH and I went to "our place" last night to eat. I have been so hungry lately and I thought the challenge isn't as challenging if I didn't go there. I announced my AF January as soon as I got there. The bartender gave me one of these... even though I am a wine drinker and seltzer is usually just 'meh',…

@mfowler883 - I hope today brings you more peace. Yesterday was another AF day, but the one time so far that I came home from a crappy day at work and wanted to open a bottle - but I didn't. With tax season approaching, I have to figure out a better coping strategy. I started crocheting again... but I'm not finding that to…

and that much closer to your January goal! Great work!

Good morning! AF yesterday and nothing exciting to share. 😜 -Georgia Jan 1-17 AF

It's nice to have you here! I have found this discussion to be very insightful as well. My pattern prior to Jan 1 was very similar to yours. Wine is also my problem. So far, so good for January, but I am thinking more and more about the months ahead. My initial plan is to stay AF at home - aside from company, I guess (?).…

The great thing is, you know you can do it! You're taking all of the right steps. I, too, am back here after a couple of hiccups. We are all in this together! -Georgia

Great reads. I have the same feeling. Abstinence has been really kind of a smooth process. For me, it's the will power to stick to Dry January... which hasn't been too challenging (surprisingly). As I said, I will see how February goes. I am an accountant and tax (hell) season is fast approaching. Which means a combo of…

@joans1976 - what a sweet face!!! Happy to hear Roger is happy in his forever home. Has he met Kramer yet? BTW -my cat's name was Norman Reedus at the shelter. No way was that sticking! (but he was a baby). His name is now Ollie. Also a silly, lovey boy. :)

[/quote] Yes, sister in law (and my frequent drinking buddy!)... Great idea on the Prosecco sorbet!! I'll give it a shot. :)

I had an AF weekend. A couple of challenges. Out to eat with family while my SIL had a couple of drinks, a popped bottle of Prosecco in the fridge that the same SIL didn’t finish before dinner. Changing from daily weigh in - which was messing with my motivation- to Wednesday. Let’s see! Love reading up on all of the posts.…

Didn’t weigh this weekend. I’ll check in on Wednesday. But I’m keeping up on all of you. Keep up the great work! - Georgia

AF last night and another early-to-bed night. Still trying to kick this headache. SIL and nephews are visiting today. That will do little for the headache and staying AF, but I will persevere! :p - Georgia

@joans1976 - I love the Seinfield cat name idea!! My friend had Kramer and Newman! :)

@forestdweller1 - wow, wow, wow. Amazing post. Thank you for your insights and a couple of giggles. I, too, have a complicated/colorful family history when it comes to alcoholism and alcohol in general. I guess that’s why I am almost afraid to look too deeply into my own relationship with it. Last night was another easy AF…

@MissMay - thank you for your kind words. :)

Thanks so much! I have found some great ideas on Pinterest and will keep looking!! :)
