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…

AF = 19 A = 6 Drank a bottle of wine again last night but for no other reason than I just did.😕 But, no drinking tonight.

AF = 18 A = 5 No wine last night or tonight. I’m sick… head cold. 🥴

AF = 16 A = 5 Visited MIL last night at the hospital. She seems to be doing a little better which is encouraging, but she still has so far to go. Fortunately, she doesn’t qualify for a long-term care facility, so she’ll go back to the rehab facility when she is able to be released from the hospital. From the sounds of it,…

AF = 15 A = 5 Could use a drink, but I won’t drink a drink. I’m going to chug water.

@forestdweller1 I LOVE the description of your yard! Sounds blissful! In ours, there are a lot of fruit & veggies growing. We get a lot of birds and squirrels, but I think the fence and our noisy hound dog, Brooks, are hindering more wildlife from visiting. But, we have chickens and roosters, so I can listen to the…

AF = 14 A = 5 I am marking for last night and tonight, both AF. Have a good night!

AF = 12 A = 5 Celebrating the grandbaby’s 1st birthday tomorrow, so today was a little busy because Nonnie wanted to make her “smash cake” and “birthday cake”. However, my son’s family is weird and never wants cakes for their birthdays. My son wants cheesecake, my daughter-in-law and grandson want chocolate chip cookies,…

AF = 11 A = 5 It sounds silly (and a true TMI), but I drank a bottle of wine last night because I have been constipated for almost a week. The wine I drink always cleans me out when I drink a full bottle. Before you ask, yes, I did take a laxative and it did not help. So, I drank the wine. Goal achieved this morning but…

AF = 11 A = 4 Have a great day!

@chicbuc I’m so glad you were able to be there! And for this same reason, I wanted to decrease my alcohol. I’ll keep your granddaughter and family in my prayers.

AF = 8 A = 4 A glass of wine with dinner. Resisted the urge to get a bottle of wine on the way home from the restaurant. Happy Mother’s Day to the mommas in the group!

I was so discouraged about the past 5 weeks weight gain, that I sat down with my husband to develop a reward system for my weight loss: 1. I get $10 for scrapbooking supplies if I have a weekly weight loss. 2. I get $10 for every 2 items of too-big clothes I purge from my closet, so I can buy new clothes. (I have A LOT of…

🤣🤣 I identify as trans-slender too! 🤣🤣 Love it!! Thanks for the healing vibes for MIL. She’s doing a little better but not following medical advice because… I don’t know… honestly she’s just a pain in the butt and rarely follows medical advice which is why she’s in this condition now! 🙄 I am leaving it up to hubby now that…
-
AF = 8 A = 1 Trying to stay close to my calorie goal. I think I’m over by 89 calories tonight. Drinking won’t help. I made a deal with husband for a reward system for my weight loss. 1) for any week with weight loss, I get $10 for scrapbooking supplies 2) for any two items of clothing I remove from my wardrobe, I get $10…

@SparkSpringtime69 I’m in SC too. Early this morning I was awaken by the tornado warning sounding on my phone! Scared the crap out of me! I live in Elgin 5 miles from the epicenter of all the earthquakes have been. Earthquakes AND tornadoes? It may be time for a natural disaster party… alcohol free or not. 😉🤣🤣
-
@mtaratoot Again, thank you. I am working on it as discouraged as I am. I sat hubby down this morning and have worked a reward system. But he again gave me the “if I remember” clause. He is supportive for about a minute (as long as his attention span 🙄). There are so many stress-inducing things happening in our family…

AF = 7 A = 1 As much as I want to drink, I’m calling it AF again tonight.

@mtaratoot It’s actually been all of April and this week. I’ve gone completely backwards. I’m not even sure why I keep trying. So stressed and broken right now. But thank you for the words of encouragement.

AF = 6 A = 1 I’m posting tonight an AF night, so I won’t have a beverage. I’m tired. Told my husband this morning he was on his own because I’m just too tired to deal with anything. I sat around and watched movies, scrolled TikTok, and created 1 scrapbook page. MIL was moved to a step-down unit today. She said the dr said…

AF = 5 A = 1 Spent all day in the ER & ICU with MIL yesterday. Hubby was an emotional wreck. Had to talk to his brother on the phone who is an emotionally stunted man who behaves like a toddler which led to a conversation with his wife who isn’t much better. 🙄🙄🙄 All that to say, I craved a drink last night, but resisted.…
