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…

I ended up drinking last night 🙄We went to a brewery on the way to the restaurant since dinner was so late. Such is life. On to May!! Final stats AF=16/A=14
-
@margim5 I'm with SurferGirl! Amazing stats for having a 7 day stint in there! Sounds like a blast!
-
Good morning, LA peeps!! AF last night was a struggle. I wasn't tempted until later in the afternoon, and I almost caved and ordered a bottle of wine to be delivered, but I rode the wave, and it passed. I had the trifecta yesterday…no wine, a good workout, stayed within my calorie range with nutritious food, and I feel…

@itladyee I have not made my 4:30 am goal!! Not one time! I forgot I never answered you on that. The second half of this month has been garbage…lol. I got in one workout last week, and I just did one today. I won't need to get up at 4:30 now that some of my bills are paid off and don't have to work quite as much, but I…

I can't seem to get it together. Today, I'm just doing it. I've been drinking way too much and every day. I do check in here every day. I just don't always post and I clearly don't take any AF advice 🙄 Dance competition was great! Grandson's duet got first place, Granddaughter's group got first place, and their big…

@SunnyDays930 One of the original reasons I started Semaglutide was hoping it would curb my desire to drink. It did not, but it drastically decreased my appetite. I'm happy it works for you! Good luck and keep us posted on your journey @SurferGirl1982 As I always say, keep on keeping on! You will get where you want to be…

@globalhiker You might be onto something. I don't think she would say to start another thread if we like because there was always a new thread every month. Weird, indeed.
-
Oh, wow. That's nuts and I will miss her dearly. I hope all is well with her. This thread will probably go by the wayside without her 😭
-
We'll be here cheering for you, @SurferGirl1982! No matter what!
-
@RubyRed427 and @SurferGirl1982 it IS hard to be sober, but we still try every day because that's all we can do! Hugs to both of you and keep on keeping to try form new habits and do what you can do! @NonnieDoiron I'm sorry your holiday was not as pleasant as you deserve. I hope you get a peaceful day to yourself to make…

@SurferGirl1982 and @itladyee I am also quite fond of both of you! @SurferGirl1982 it wasn't liver enzymes, although you can order any tests you want with Ulta and then have the blood drawn at a participating lab (I use Quest). I don't believe they take insurance, but it's deeply discounted which is how I found out about…

@SurferGirl1982 @itladyee @Womona Thank you all for your thoughts and concern. It turns out I am NOT Dr. Google 😂 So, the last 2 times I drank wine, I woke up in the middle of the night with abdominal pain and vomiting followed by just general malaise the next day along with some abdominal "aching." I took it upon myself…
-
@NonnieDoiron Sorry to hear about your daughter but glad you're close to a diagnosis and she has you to advocate for her treatment! @itladyee I haven't gotten up at 4:30 yet. That's just the plan starting tomorrow maybe. We'll see. @SurferGirl1982 I do not have vision problems from drinking. I'm also curious if anyone else…
-
And finally just did my first workout since the cruise last month! I have to adjust to my new schedule. I need to get up around 4:30 to get a workout in before I head out to work for the day. I've been staying out from about 7 to 7 every day, so it takes up all of my time!
-
@NonnieDoiron Hope they figure out what's wrong with your daughter and you got some rest last night. @Womona Good job not reaching for that second glass! AF last night for me after my indulgence the night before. What a lesson that was! No plans for drinking this weekend. I'm trying to avoid the casino even though it does…
-
@mfowler883 Prayers for your grandson but you're right! It could have been so much worse! Always helmets for kids on motorized anything! I drank a lot of wine last night and feel like death today, so I'm climbing back on today, for sure! AF = 8/A = 1
-
@SurferGirl1982 We have plenty of inspiration in this group. The question is, do you gain inspiration from this group. If so, stick around whether you've got an AF day or not. It will come! @mfowler883 Thanks for your input on the market. Good advice. @itladyee Try to stay away from the news. They get paid to scare you. Be…

Checking in. I'm not responding to each individually, but know I'm reading and following along! I'm headed out for the 3rd day of grandson and granddaughter's dance competition. Grandson got 7th place out 112 dancers on Friday night with his solo. I'm always so proud of both of them, but this kid's going far in the dance…
-
2 AF days in… I had $200 in freeplay yesterday at the casino, so I decided to run out and use it during the day (so as not to be tempted to go at night and drink) and try to turn in into real money. Long story short, no "real" money in, $280 out. Woot! It took about 15 minutes and then I got back to work. I've been packing…
-
Yay, @NonnieDoiron!! Me, too! I did not walk, but I did shop and deliver groceries for 11 hours 😂
-
@NonnieDoiron We’re in the same boat, but we can do this! I’ve gained 7 pounds and had way too may A days in March. I hate when I’m self destructive! Grrr! So many hugs and prayers for your next few months! That was a lot of exclamation points 😅
-
@itladyee I'll be @MissMay will be ecstatic when she sees what you've done! Shooting for an AF April, but I will take it one day at a time and if I fall off, get back on immediately the next day!
-
I'm finishing March in the toilet where I've been since the cruise. SO's company sold, so I'm out of a job and delivering groceries for Walmart. I could definitely exceed my previous salary if I do it 7 days a week which I will do most weeks and let some money accrue to cover my vacations (ie: cruises) because I have many…
-
@SurferGirl1982 Sorry to hear about your car but glad you're ok! How scary! @SparkSpringtime69 Enjoy your trip! See you when you get back! @MissMay Sounds like a lovely evening with delicious food! My SO wanted to try a local brewery with our son last night (son's becoming a bit of a beer connoisseur). Needless to say, I…
-
Welp. Now that I've had a 1400 calorie lunch at the new pizza buffet in town, a walk is a must do not an "if I feel like it."
-
@itladyee Glad you're feeling better! Sounds like you had a relaxing few days even if you were recovering @SurferGirl1982 Hope you enjoyed your margaritas (extra salt, please), and you find your way back to AF today. I'm super impressed you were able to gamble without drinking! If you can do that, you can do anything!…
-
We're back from the Caribbean! What a great cruise! I highly recommend Sun Princess for anyone planning a sailing. It was a beautiful ship with a great staff and entertainment and lots of fun activities! I see a few new faces…welcome! I see my friend @SurferGirl1982 is getting an AF streak going! One day at a time, and if…
-
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!
