  • @Womona Wow great of you to recognize the connection. People like me have a double whammy food and alcohol. I have to say all the pictures are fabulous. Do I want more snow this winter...nope. I think here in PNW we are done. We may have a few more freezing mornings but the worst is over. AF tonight so yeah. I am working…
  • LOL Thank you @MissMay for turning me on to the painting challenge. HaHa just what we need more pressure. No alcohol, Paint a specific subject in less than 24 hours, Endure strangers critic's so you can grow (can you here my laughter bubbling to the surface????).....let the games begin (?) So how many of you thought that…
  • Hello everyone @ahoy_m8 I do live in a state where gummies are legal and yes I have had some, even make my own along with a tincture. Yes the feeling you get is more of a relaxing acceptance, that was a great description. You wake up the next day refreshed and no side effects that I have noticed. The downside, it's…
  • AF tonight so yeah. I just did errands today after my workout. DH finally went to his dr. for a check up. they are doing some blood work and put him on bp med's. We will see how that works out. short post...sorry
  • The latest, I just got it this evening. Scarlett & Elsie Diet stayed so-so today, but AF
  • LOL @MissMay 's morning comment. I don't know about that I am sure there is someone, somewhere, out there. That just does not care ...oooh how awful Well I finished purging my office/art studio/gym. It feels so much more organized. I still have too much but one purge at a time. AF last night and plan to be the rest of the…
  • Thank you @MissMay for starting our March thread. Finished Feb with 19 AF days. I will take that. March may or may not look the same. Now this is odd, I knew we would be going out to lunch and a few beers yesterday. It was planned. But once we got there and before we left I was not super thrilled about going to drink the…
  • Thank you all for the suggestions on the brush cleaning AND the mocktail ideas are just flowing now. I did not stay AF Saturday or today. But nothing crazy. Dinner yesterday with family 2 glasses of wine for 8 hours of game time. Then today out for lunch and a beer with my philly cheese steak sandwich. Then a beer nap, my…
  • I too look at soap kinda the same way, and since I make my own liquid and solid soap from Olive oil, KOH and water I would think they would work well. But I noticed it really does not remove the makeup. I think the waterproof properties (that and I make my own makeup too) have a small amount of wax and oil so I am thinking…
  • So I still have not got back to my workout routine and I am hoping for a fresh start on Monday. Tomorrow I am making a loaf of rye bread for my little brother who will be over Saturday for our belated B/D party for DH. I am also going to attach the 'closet' area in my home office. Today I tackle the kitchen counters and…
  • Ok my AF- AL family (alcohol free - alcohol less). I have been feeling soo good. I did not get back into my exercise routine yet, look out tomorrow. I retested and I am covid free....lol so I am out of jail. We did go out to lunch yesterday and I did drink 2 beers. So still doing well, in my mind, with less. So DH…
  • EXERCISE (this goes for AF too) I can't tell you how proud I am and you should be of YOU. I know how hard it is to stick to a 4-8-12 week commitment program. I have only had success with up to 8 weeks. So I bow down to the queen. DH and I are feeling great but I still have not had a negative covid test. So I am retesting…
  • Hello everyone, Happy to report signs of covid are gone. Just a little lingering cough and stuffy nose while I try to sleep. Re-tested today.(approx day 9 from exposed)..drats still says positive, which begs me to think how accurate are the home tests that I ordered from US government Do you have to wait the entire 10 days…
  • @MissMay eech......how could I have forgotten about my own bottle cover that has served me well. So in honor of @BobLoblaw1991 I have recruited Uncle Sock just for you! Not the most handsome man to grace a bottle, but it's all I can manage today. I will need to work and see if I can get the entire family to get dressed up…
  • @BobLoblaw1991 Last year we had to keep whiskey out of the house because of the temptation for me. We tried several things actually. Putting the alcohol in the garage, then that began the running joke of going to the bar in the garage. Then we would put it in a closet or cabinet....DH would then bring it out once I was not…
  • @ahoy_m8 What an absolute perfect idea!!!! I can cook the turkey this weekend, make the stock and freeze. Then next Saturday pop it all back in the oven to heat, make some potatoes a salad then mix up some gravy with the stock and poof dinner is done. Brilliant! My fever broke yesterday afternoon (not much of one mind you)…
  • Oh my @Lilylady3k The pictures are so cute I want to pinch some cheeks! Well it is now confirmed both DH and I tested positive for covid :| I started with a low fever and headache a few days ago, DH has been super fatigued and has a cough. So our symptoms are very mild. I have had colds that made me feel much worse. So AF,…
  • Good day everyone! AF last night but by the way I feel this morning I could swear I have a hang over. Sad news, fever, wicked headache, and body aches. Napaproxin to the rescue. So I have been up and drinking coffee for a few hours now. The headache and fever are mostly gone. But I will monitor the rest of the day. We are…
  • Well true to form I watch 0 of the super bowl but did have a few drinks last night. They were 'weak' by most standards. I had experimented months ago making some coffee liqueur. So last night I made two drinks with some and tonic water. I don't recommend it. Today I am back to my normal self being AF. I seem to do fine…
  • Phew another temptation dodged today. DH came home early and we both were hungry. That is usually the local pub for a beer(s) and food. Well DH was not feeling very good, he has been feeling 'off' for the past three days but no covid symptoms. Anyway he did not want to go inside anywhere and we ended up picking up…
  • Good day to everyone! Thank you for the congrats on the new addition to our family. HEHE I had so much to do with it after all. I only produced the grown up mom (with a little help). The rest (all) was orchestrated by a power much higher than "mom". Last night AF, during the week is pretty easy it is the weekends…
  • yeah she is here, Let me introduce you to Big Sister Scarlet Mae to her new sister Elsie Claire
  • Hello everyone, Still waiting for baby to arrive, or at least waiting for them to tell me baby has arrived. @forestdweller1 nice to meet you, wow what a year you have had! I had a struggle with food for about 9 months last year because of side effects to medications. I too lost about 20+lbs but have gained some of it back…
  • Another day almost down, another AF day so yeah. The weekend, well it has passed. So the surprise, I just found out my DD3 is having the baby girl induced tomorrow morning. Still don't know her name, they are keeping it to themselves. Seems DD3 has developed some liver problems at the end of this pregnancy. The problems…
  • wow so much to catch up on! @MissMay I would say your streak is still going. 100% So it has been one of those days, you know kinda boring but busy? I keep forgetting to mark in my dry days app the days I am af. Anyway I will be back later with I hope something exciting LOL
  • Well we did go out again for lunch today. And yep I had 2 drinks then home for a nap. But I am no longer continuing to drink when I get back home so it is a big win in my books. As a general rule I don't even think about drinking Sunday through Thursday. And now Friday's and Saturdays has proved to be light compared to my…
  • I have been doing well, tonight we did go out and had 2 beers then home. Before we would go out I would have 2.5-3 beers, go home take a nap, wake up and drink hard liquor. Now when I chose to have 2 beers out and a nap. Thats all the alcohol I will drink, so much better. Wow I love how you are all getting into the…
  • Wow, just wow to everyone. I love the re commitments, insights and jotting down the struggles. DH recognizes I am/have changed my drinking habits. The first months last year he was like a rock standing behind me. Then it shifted a bit and he would offer to go out and I folded like a house of cards. Then I started to pick…
  • Hey Hey, HO Ho The gang is all starting to congregate on this thread...Month two of 2022. I ended with 21 AF days for January. Which is 100% better than Sept, Oct, Nov Dec 2021. I did ok from Jan-Aug 2021 with AF days between 19-24 per month. This month lets see what happens. Thank you as always to the lovely @MissMay for…
