Nice work, @itladyee! Getting back on track! @Michieb125 you are doing great moderating even if not AF! @margim5 Good luck reaching your goal! @Stepawayfromthetable Great March start! @Surfergirl1982 Sounds like you had a good run at the casino followed by a bad run. I do that frequently 😂 Finally an AF day yesterday, but…

I feel this! I'm struggling too, and it's getting that first day back that is so difficult! Today, I have planned NO wine since I'm 0 for 3 so far :angry: I need these next 3 AF days before we take off for our vacation!

Eh. I started March off with wine. The weekends have been getting me lately, but I'm pretty confident that I can go AF from now until we leave for the cruise. We're staying with friends closer to the port on Friday night, so we'll probably have dinner and drinks followed by 7 days of debauchery. I probably need to commit…

Final stats: AF = 18 A = 10 I wanted to be over 50%, so I exceeded my goal. Woot!! See you all in March!

@Womona Beautiful pictures!! Thank you for sharing! @itladyee We're going to Princess Cays, Amber Cove, and Puerto Rico! It was supposed to just be me and my friend/boss for my 5 year anniversary but SO/other boss decided to join, so it will be a company trip. No wine last night although SO tried to tempt me into the…

That does sound amazing, @Womona!! I had trouble getting back on track, but finally managed last night, but I slept terribly. There are no immediate plans to throw me off track as of now. My February goal was to be over half AF, so I've achieved that. Now I would like to expand on it in March. We do have cruise on March…

AF = 14 A = 8 :disappointed: Might hit the casino later to use some freeplay so it might be one more day of A then start the week fresh tomorrow and finish strong.

Good morning, all! Got back from visiting my babies last night. My plane got delayed on Wednesday which made it impossible to catch my connector, so I slept in the airport Wednesday night. They had recliners, so it was actually not bad and I got a full 8 hours of good rest according to my watch. That was a first...lol. I…

Checking in AF = 9 A = 4

A donut burger is just as it sounds...a glazed donut bun with a burger :lol: I did not end up having a donut burger, because I had a giant Amish glazed donut instead! Yum! We also have a famous local fair corndog vendor that has THE absolute best corndogs, so I helped SO eat one of those, and I split a gyro with my dad. I…

@SurferGirl1982 Girl! I feel you about feeling confused! You are having success in the LA department. Just keep grinding it out day by day and try make smart choices. That's all we can do :hugs:

@looneycatblue Great job reminding yourself and getting through! @Womona Your dinner sounds divine! @NonnieDoiron You've got a great streak going! Sorry you had a rough Tuesday. Hope today is better! @SurferGirl1982 Dust yourself off and get back up, indeed. Negativity definitely doesn't help. Just take one day at a time.…

Yes!! What MissMay said! Following your journey is one my favorite things to do! Congrats and well done!!

Good morning! We went to dinner for SO's birthday last night. He insisted we had to go ON his birthday. The server brought a wine tasting over with his intro. So, I drank wine...not just the tasting. I had my tasting, SO's tasting, and 2 more glasses. It was very good, but I slept not so great, so back on it tonight. We…

Thanks everyone. I woke up this morning feeling ALMOST normal. I'm not trying to brag, but my immune system kicks butt! Ok...maybe I'm bragging :lol: I'm going to skip my workout this morning, but if I'm feeling OK, I might get it in this evening. I was really hoping to get in 3 weight sessions before I fly out to Arizona…

I started coming down with something yesterday right after church so I’ve spent the day fighting it off. The bad part is I hugged all my elderly aunts and uncles that are visiting from Michigan. I sure hope I didn’t spread it. I made chicken bone broth as soon as I woke up and turned it into soup after a few hours. I ate a…

Sometimes a little white knuckling is what you need! Well done! Congrats to your son, @NonnieDoiron! That's awesome! AF = 6 A = 2

@globalhiker Stellar words as always! My motivation is that I want to be a better human for my Lord and Savior, Jesus, and that means, for me, not poisoning my body or being in a drunken state...not for everyone...it's what I'M convicted of in my spirit. I have a bible app I've been using with some daily readings for…

Yes, @Womona, great tips! I'm hoping to put them into practice next week. My house isn't filthy either, but it needs a good cleaning which I'm planning to do on Sunday...at least the big stuff, bathrooms, vacuum, mop, dust, etc. I need to implement a deep clean schedule, too. My cabinets (kitchen and bathroom) desperately…

@NonnieDoiron Your house sound just like mine and I would also be interested in a good cleaning routine. @SurferGirl1982 If I had slots across the street from me, I'd be broke and drunk all the time :hugs: I just drank my sparkling water last night. I was going to have one of 0.0 Stellas, but I decided to save them for…

@itladyee I tried the 0.0 Stella that @Michieb125 suggested and it is really good!

Thank you @Michieb125! Have a great week with your grands...they're the best!!

As of today, I don't plan to since we'll be at home and one of my big goals is not to drink at home. It quickly turns into a habit if I have wine in the house. I'll DoorDash more to get through the night if I don't have "enough." So, no...lol.

I was supposed to meet up with my girlfriends last night but they both dipped on me. I was already near the casino so I went and had a few glasses of wine and played some slots. When I got home, I had some sauerkraut because all this talk made me buy some at the grocery store the other day :lol And...no heartburn this…

@surfergirl1982 Good luck today! I was never around for that kind of testing. I was mostly involved in the pretesting and injections. Congrats on your day 3(4)! @Womona Way to fight off that craving!! Heartburn is resolved. AF last night and a good night's sleep and a workout this morning. Have a blessed day, all! AF = 2 A…

Welcome @margim5! Stick around and get to know us! @SurferGirl1982 Fingers crossed for good news tomorrow! Out of curiosity, are you seeing a retinal specialist? I used to work in the eyeball business for years. I miss it sometimes.

@SurferGirl1982 keeping that 0! Love it! @tobinross thanks for the sympathy of my self inflicted wounds :lol: @itladyee sorry your husband doesn’t understand littles. Good job, (Grand)mama bear. Your husband will recover. Mamma Mia was FANTASTIC!! Loved!

Welp, 5 day streak done and I didn't roll it over to 6. I stopped at the casino on the way home from dropping off my granddaughter, and I'm paying for it today. I have THE WORST heartburn EVER! Back on it today! AF =1 A = 1

@Born2Run1958 Congrats on making a great choice! @tobinross Thanks for that list! @SurferGirl1982 Congrats on starting out February on the right foot and meeting your goal! Woot! I love @tobinross 's suggestion of going to meet your neighbors! @Michieb125 I get the weekly vs. monthly goals. Sometimes mine have to be daily…

I'm in for LESS than last month! Even half and half would be a better percentage than January and it would be 1 more AF day. My biggest problem comes if I allow myself a drink night at home. It turns into more every time. So no drinking at home! Final January stats: AF = 13 A = 18 I ordered club soda in a wine glass with…
