AF = 17 A = 4 Drank a couple glasses of wine last night finishing the bottle I opened 3 days ago. BFF is still here and we might play cards or something tonight, so no telling if I’ll have a drink or not. We’ll see.

I don’t know what’s available to her as far as in-home care. My husband has been the one to deal with her discharge mostly because I didn’t think she was ready. Now that she’s here and has already started complaining, I am convinced she wasn’t ready. But, nobody wants my opinion. I’m keeping my mouth shut.

AF = 17 A = 3 Had 1 glass again last night. My bff is having oral surgery today and then coming for the weekend which means she won’t want to drink because she’ll be on pain meds. I completely get it. So, I do not plan to drink this weekend if she is not. I also am planning soft foods menu for the weekend. MIL is coming…

AF = 17 A = 2 Impromptu cookout last night with Autistic son’s girlfriend and her family. Very loud and over-the-top personality from her mom, and I struggle to be around her. But, basically our families are “dating” because our special needs children are dating. They were supposed to have sangrias with hubby last night.…

AF = 17 A = 1 Thank you, @itladyee. I’m trying hard. I was talking to a friend today who has always been encouraging to lay off the wine. I hadn’t seen her in a couple months, so I was giving her a run down of my vida loca. She literally said, “Girl! Go get you a bottle! I need it for you!” 🤣🤣🤣 Hubby and friends are almost…

AF = 16 A = 1 Happy belated Father’s Day to all the dads! Today was an ok day. Had a win at work by getting a contract signed for a client. Calmed a very upset client, and I think made a friend. Normally, the good news would be a cause for celebratory wine just like the bad news calls for consoling wine. I’m trying to…

AF = 13 A = 1 Thank God for the weekend. My head is spinning from trying to learn this job. UGH!

AF = 12 A = 1 No drinking. Unfortunately, this job is freaking me out, so stressful. MIL walked 25 feet today with the physical therapist at the rehab facility. Hubby isn’t feeling well today. Back to knitting…

AF = 9 A = 1 No A last night or tonight.

AF = 7 A = 1 Thanks for all the support from this group! Please know I’m reading all the posts. There’s so much going on here, but I think each of us coming in and holding ourselves accountable (even if we do drink) is truly wonderful. For all of us stressing and dealing with life’s ups and downs, please know you’re in my…

AF = 6 A = 1 A glass of sangria on the porch with hubby this evening.

Thanks @SparkSpringtime69. It’s been VERY difficult to stop myself from running to the store every night this month. I’ve been doing just about everything I can think of trying to avoid drinking and over eating. I’m coloring, knitting, trying to teach myself how to crochet (getting unbelievably frustrated with it… just not…

I’m sorry you’re stressed. I can empathize. I sent my husband to the store tonight because I forgot to buy milk yesterday and knew if I went I would buy a bottle of wine. I hope it gets better for you. AF = 5 A = 0

AF = 4 A = 0 I almost got a glass of wine at dinner. I walked today, so it would have been within my goals to have one. However, I opted out. I start my new job tomorrow. Lots of orientation and training. I’m thankful God provided the opportunity because our family needs the income, but I’m very upset I have to go back to…

AF = 3 A = 0 MIL is back at rehab facility. We’ll see how it goes. Hubby had his first treatment consultation today. Tomorrow is treatment option 2 consultation. I guess we’ll see how that goes too. Watching tv while hubby snores on the couch waiting for 9:30 when my kids go to bed, and I can go to sleep.

AF = 2 A = 0 Almost had a glass of wine today at the bowling alley, but they didn’t carry it anymore though it was still posted on their menu board. Oh well, it probably would have been horrible anyway. Lol 😉 @SparkSpringtime69 I’ve always used A as my anti-anxiety med which is why I joined this group. I’m under way too…

AF = 1 A = 0 I totally suspect my A days to be high this month due to the stresses I’m about to endure (there will be much to endure). My goal is that on those A days I limit myself to only 1-2 glasses of wine and try to only drink if I was able to exercise that day. Let’s see how I do.

AF = 25 A = 6 Not drinking tonight. Trying to decide if I’m going to make my blueberry jam, but it requires a trip to the store because I ran out of 1/2 pint jars.😕

I’m in for June! I start work this month, so I’m going to need accountability!

AF = 24 A = 6 Very good ratio for May even if I do drink tomorrow (but pretty sure I won’t). However, 2 of those A days were a full bottle of wine. I really need to get away from drinking whole bottles of wine. I will say that I felt horrible the days after those bottles, and I don’t want to feel that way. It also hurts my…

AF = 23 A = 6 Hubby drank a large margarita tonight at dinner very quickly and without having food yet. He’s asleep now.

AF = 22 A = 6 After attempting to get dressed to go for my walk, I realized I’m just too ill to do anything and decided to sit on my butt. The scale will most definitely reflect a lazy week. But, not drinking.

AF = 21 A = 6 Slept like a log last night! Still feeling sick, sore throat and stuffy/runny nose. Going to try to make blueberry jelly today. We’ll see what happens.

AF = 20 A = 6 Thanks for the hugs, @chicbuc. Very much needed lately. No drinking today, but have been baking and cooking. I made Glazed Blueberry Rolls and Blueberry Whoopie Pies. My MIL bought a metric ton of frozen fruit and never ate it like she said she would. It’s taking up all kinds of space in my freezers, so I’m…
