Hello LESS alcohol peeps @Womona, hey girl this is going to get better, WE PROMISE YOU. Sometimes life throws all this %^$# our way at once and it builds up and then we start to feel like it can't be stepped over. Take it one at a time. I know you can get through this, we are all here for you. GIANTIC MASSIVE HUGS…

Oh the holidays are coming and there is no stopping them. It is still hard for me to look at houses decked out fully for Christmas when the temp here is 73°. Went into the beer/wine/liquor isle at Walmart, directly to.the item I wanted. I will be surrounding myself with this for Turkey Day/get-a-way. Just have to pick out…

Hello LESS alcohol folks out there So much to read since I was last on. But WOW! Have not had any more of the Fever Tree Expresso mix again . One little set back was I may have mixed it heavy on the expresso and was AWAKE most of the night, which sucked! I am now gun shy to make another mocktail with it. To answer those…

I made myself an AF Chocolate expresso martini

😂 Love this!!! Congrats xbowhunter such a great accomplishment!

My cutting back of sugar has been going WAY better than expected (I have surprised myself) Sure I have had some sugar. Since before November 1 I have completely eliminated putting it into my coffees, which to me is a GIANT hooray. After hubs gets home in the past was a trigger to follow his steps and keep opening the…

How exciting your son is on the special Olympic team. Power lifting is impressive. Enjoy the chaperon time.

You are doing so well and dodging the birdie shots is amazing! Nice game BTW

Huge hug, as I have mentioned before, sometimes I think we married twin drinking brothers. The drinking show is NEVER one we want to attend. Deep deep breaths. You have many milestones you have hit!!!!

You better not ghost us (LOL) just because your goals went a bit wonky. Actually this is when you need to get in here and let us know how we can help. I like how exercise was a part of your highlight. We all have the good day/ bad day thang going at times. YOU GOT THIS!!

Great to hear from you and hope your AF vacation was fab. I have had the H00 switch happen to me twice since drinking LESS. Once the waitress was absolutely embarrassed and shouted out loud in the venue " OMG are you in recovery?" I sank so far into my seat; it must have looked like I was under it. That was in the…

Oh girl...... I have been there to, it truly is punishment from a higher power that allows us to feel like crap when needing to travel. Good for your comment I just want one normal sized drink please, thank you very much! You know what normal is- that is so much more than people not wanting LESS know. Hugs

Sunday morning gratitude Thankful for my small, yet beautiful townhouse backyard. Still adjusting to what Florida Fall is. Actually, it is like Spring in New England . The outdoor plants all take a deep breath and regain control of their ability to flower properly with the right conditions. Hmmmm....sounds familiar. Isn't…

Feeling a little more in pain today then the past two days from oral surgery on Monday. Guess I chat too long on the phone with my Sister yesterday. They say laughter is the best medicine but maybe not in this case. Good thing is - ▪︎AF for last 5 days(31 day AF streak) ▪︎Been 95% sugar free in Novber, BONUS! ▪︎Exercise…

Thanks for asking this question. My husbands birthday is Nov 28 along with Thanksgiving. He has been planning a hopla since early Jan '24 when he got the 2024 calender. I have a plan to not drink on his day. We will be away from home and I more than anything want to have control of my wits. Traveling with my AF favorites…

Good morning LESS alcohol family. I have also been re-reading about what exactly is in alcohol chemical wise So scary. Because I complain about inhaling second hand tobacco, fumes from cars and other irritants. Makes me wonder why our government allows and promotes this. My accountability for Nov so far has been 4 AF.…

@SunnyDays930 one minor slip from the "reward devil" doesn't mean the drink cycle needs to continue. You came in, gave your accountability from the wedding and owned it. NOW back to your plan, right? Answer YES! One other point I will make here. For those who have been having AF streaks and read sunnydays930 post from…

OK day 1 for November wentso-so to my previous expectations -I DID have an AF day. WOO HOO -I DID do my exercise of the day. My rendition of (65 year old) power walk for 30-minutes. I fell short of my goal to keep the sugar devil away. Was not as bad as it has been, but I could have done better. Already got my 30-minute…

:) :) :)

This month on top of drinking LESS, I have begun drastically cutting down on sugar and sweets consumption. Especially at night. The nightly ice-cream goodie while watching our favorite show has certainly caused some pounds to creep on me. I am NOT buying larger clothes, not happening, NO WAY. This morning I joined the…

@xbowhunter I am so excited for the new and improved YOU. Totally get you are outta here and moving on. Like kids leaving the nest we will miss you and your motivating posts, but we understand you need to grow elsewhere. Appreciate all you brought to our thread. Your amazing and inspiring. Be well <3 :)

Welcome to November 1st....let's do this!

NOTE to self -

Turning the calender to November also turns to heavy drinking months with the holidays approaching. How do you want to remember the 2024 seasons? Try some new ways alcohol free.

HAPPY 🎃 HALLOWEEN October has proved to be a very successful month for me. I want to continue this path. Two drink days the first week, 3 drinks total. Now on my 26th consecutive alcohol free day, sliding right over to November to add more days. I thank each and everyone here for their contribution, support and compassion…

@SurferGirl1982 NEVER apologize for giving us to much informative information. We are sponges for it all. You are doing fantastic.

Hello again @annliz23 it has been some time since we last heard from you, maybe a few years? GREAT to have you back getting support and accountability and giving us yours.

Thanks @SunnyDays930 I should add this to our intro section for DECEMBER 2024

YEESH!!! I am a little concerned your DR. did not give you better insight about your liver. Especially if they were doing monthly blood draws for a drug that caused issues. What is the IT band for?

@womona sorry to hear you have to have your boat pulled. I would think they would let the boaters enjoy every luscious day they could on the water. Thanks for the words about my weekend. Had I been even drinking slightly I know I would have reacted so totally different about everything. Being AF has taught me to bite down…
