@LittleSurferGirl7 I hope you were successful in staying away from the liquor store yesterday and continue on in sobriety today…just for one day at a time…but if not, we're still here for you. I appreciate your struggle more than you know. I hear your frustration with yourself because you just can't seem to do it. I think…

I was just looking at the spreadsheet. @NonnieDoiron and HYS? and @nbruns83, you're all killing it! Congrats on the hard work! Still going strong here. I wanted a dry July and I may just get it 🙏 We're taking 2 of our grandsons on a little weekend cruise this Friday. I did not get the drink package. My SO did. I am…

@NonnieDoiron That's where I am in my life, too. God is good and will take your burden. I fell away for a LONG time and have recently come back and it is so freeing to give it to Him and let him work.

Wow…bunch of chatterboxes! I love it. There's no way to respond to all the newcomers…or regulars for that matter…but WELCOME!! I'm glad you all jumped right in! The more the merrier and the more support! I love it! carlabisong Just wanted to say I have the same quit date as you. I declared enough was enough after a couple…

Just checking in…busy busy week, but I'm reading everyone's updates and rooting/praying/hugging you in my thoughts 😂Still AF and not really missing it. I hope it's because my burden is lifted and not just because I'm so busy. I get home around 8, shower, fix a cup of tea and am falling asleep by 9 then up at 5 and out the…

@Michieb125 The tragedy in Texas is beyond words. I don't even know what else to say after that. Hugs. @itladyee so happy to hear your MRI results were clear! What a relief for you and still many prayers as you navigate with your sister. @globalhiker Sorry you didn't get answers, but if your sodium was low, can't that also…

@LittleSurferGirl7 Having worked for an ophthalmologist and an optometrist, I just wanted to say that your vision is actually pretty good in your good eye and not terrible in your "bad" eye. If you're diabetic make sure you have your blood sugar well controlled and that will help. Try not to fret, and take care of yourself.

I just had a long post typed out on my tablet and managed to delete it…blah. Love to all AF=9 A=0

@itladyee You and your sister are definitely in my prayers as well. They must have caught it very early. Give yourself grace during this time. It will be difficult and you'll be a mess, but it will be ok. We're all here for you! @NonnieDoiron I can't imagine going through cancer treatments with my child. I just can't. You…

Me, too!! I like that I can check in even if I don't have time to post and respond to everyone.

Yay!!! I knew you could do it! @NonnieDoiron I’ve flipped off my share of scales 🤣

Fingers, toes, and everything crossed for you, @LittleSurferGirl7! And prayers for a good visit with the specialist!

Good morning, all @NonnieDoiron Communication is such a tough skill! It's something we can all work on forever it seems. I know I'm a poor communicator and always have been. I do try to work on it, but it's not easy. I'm glad things are settling down a little and you're at the end of the cycle so to speak. I did not…

@itladyee the patio looks great! It’s definitely a great place to relax with an icy beverage! @LittleSurferGirl7 I call everyone ma’am…including my dog 🤣

@itladyee Great July numbers so far and good job resisting when your husband was drinking! That's self control! Will continue to pray for peace for you and your sister and your family as you navigate her illness. Sounds like you had a nice evening on the patio. Dance week was frustrating. IMO, these big competitions are…

I’ll catch up with everyone soon! I almost caved last night, but I reminded myself (or God reminded me😉) that I’m committed to dry July! AF=4. A=0 I also lost 4 pounds this week!

@itladyee I’m away at a national dance competition with my grands, but I can’t wait to check out that spreadsheet at home on my computer! Thank you! @NonnieDoiron I’m sorry you’re dealing with so much. I pray you find some peace and comfort and that your husband learns better communication and empathy. That’s a lot to deal…

@LittleSurferGirl7 it’s ok! Just get back up and dust off and do this for you! @nbruns83 nice to “meet” you! My last 3 days were AF and I think I had 2 or 3 other AF days, so not good. On to dry July!!

So happy for your day 2, @LittleSurferGirl7! We can keep the same numbers! We’ve got this! Welcome aboard @tiff8083!

I am so sorry to hear about your sister. Sending prayers and hugs for you first and obviously for your sister. I hope you find some peace as you navigate the intricacies :hugs:

This is the best news I could read, @LittleSurferGirl7! You can do it! I know I've been absent. We took a trip to NYC and Bermuda and frankly, I've been drinking way too much again. I've had some real discussions with God over the last few days, and I've given it to Him. Yesterday, I threw out the rest of my wine and was…

Grr…increased to: AF = 6 A = 5 Yesterday was not a good day, so I turned to my ol' buddy…wine. Need to find a new buddy. Happy Thursday, anyway! Make it a great one!

Happy Tuesday evening everyone! Hope you got your repair done, @LittleSurferGirl7! I love how handy around the house and garden that you are! AF last night, but tonight I just wanted wine, so I'm sipping some LeCrema Pinot Noir. I'm going to try not to sip the whole bottle and go back to AF tomorrow. I'm ok with AF 2 days…

@LittleSurferGirl7 Sound like a pretty perfect birthday to me! I always love your stories, too! @Michieb125 Enjoy your sister visit! My getaway last weekend was with my sister, and it was fantastic! AF last night bringing June to 5 AF and 3 A. Planned AF for the rest of this week 🙏

@LittleSurferGirl7 Happy Birthday!! I hope you celebrate and feel fantastic no matter what even if it's only just for today! I went to the local brewery last night and had 2 beers. On the way home I ALMOST bought a bottle of wine, but I knew I would drink the whole thing, so I talked myself out of it. I had one of my son's…

@LittleSurferGirl7 Big hugs to you. Just know that we're all thinking about you. Would your husband consider moving back to place where you could socialize a bit? I know here in Florida there are a LOT of 55 and up communities that keep people actively involved with one another if they want to be. They all have clubhouses…

Jthanmyfitnesspal well done with only one cocktail! mgdavis63 Welcome!! We're all bout support with whatever your goals may be.

Quick check in…2 days AF…closing in on being over 1/2. Definite planned AF today. Phew. I needed this break. Make it a great day, y'all!!

Hello, all! Setting some June goals starting now. I did drink on the 1st and 2nd. I had about 3/4 of a bottle of merlot left this morning that I dumped out before I had a chance to reconsider. I want to start an AF streak today! My goal for the month is at least 1/2 the month AF…preferably more, but we do have a nice trip…

@LittleSurferGirl7 I believe in you! Good luck with the vet!
