Probably won’t even bother to watch the game. I used to be a huge football fan, but my husband is really not into it. He’d rather watch movies all day. So since we’ve been married, I think I’ve only watched one Super Bowl, and he played on the computer in another room the whole time. I don’t watch football anymore. All…

@globalhiker thanks for the recipe! Sounds delicious. Sounds like hubby has some more ingredients to pick up tomorrow!😉

AF-5 A-0 Ok… finally getting caught up… @Born2Run1958 I love oysters, and it’s a funny thing I never want to drink when I’m eating them. Glad you enjoyed your NAs! @globalhiker your workouts sound great! @SunnyDays930 the sauerkraut topic is a hit! I have always known there are benefits to pickled foods, and I’ve always…

AF-4 A-0 Claiming AF today. Don’t have it to drink it anyway. I’ll have to catch up on posts tomorrow, but I will. I saw sauerkraut discussion, and I’m curious!🤣

@chicbuc how cute!! Love the pic!

AF-2 A-0 @chicbuc please say it isn’t so! I don’t think I could handle it if my daughter did the occasional bath thing as an adult.

Your plans for today sound wonderful and relaxing! I like you’re a “soda snob” LOL It’s great that you embrace sitting at the bar as an experience without the follow through. There is an energy at the bar that is enjoyable. I love sitting at a bar especially a busy one. There is a bourbon bar in the city that is amazing.…

This is great! I love starting the month a 0 too! It’s like the goal becomes keeping it a 0. If I start with a 1, it feels like I’ve already ruined the month. Keep that 0! 😁

AF-1 A-0 MIL’s blood pressure is still elevated, but coming down gradually. I fussed at her this evening about allowing the doctors to release her when the problem isn’t resolved. We live a half an hour from the hospital. She can’t afford to leave if the problem is unresolved. She even admitted she just wanted to get out…

@chicbuc MIL pick up was at 4:30 this morning. No bathrooms will stay dirty until maybe tomorrow, idk and honestly I’m too tired to care. I was basically up all night waiting for the phone call. Anyway, she’s was sent home with a still elevated blood pressure and headache which doesn’t make sense to me. So, I guess we’ll…

Congrats on breaking the habit! I'm glad you're not letting people's opinions of you stop you from having your NAs. My DIL drinks NAs and she doesn't give a damn what others think about it. She quit drinking for a couple years, and just over the past few months started drinking occasionally. She only drinks when my son…

AF - 15 A - 16 YAY!!!!! He listened! No magical bottle appeared today! Unfortunately, my MIL had to be taken by ambulance during dialysis to the ER because her blood pressure went up to 220 over something (I can't remember what she said), and they couldn't get it back down. I haven't heard from her or the hospital since…

AF - 14 A - 16 Hubby and son off to an out of state powerlifting competition today for the weekend. Just us girls for the weekend. Definitely need to make bread today, and i should clean bathrooms this weekend. I really don’t want to clean bathrooms this weekend. We’ll see how I feel about that tomorrow, I guess. Hubby…

AF - 13 A - 16 @chicbuc the phone/computer method is a great idea. I didn’t even think of that! And, great testimony BTW. @SurferGirl1982 you’re not disappointing me. I’m just looking forward to when we can celebrate the next streak!

AF - 12 A - 16 Hubby got that apothecary book that’s been all over my FYP on TikTok, and he started a few of the detox and anti-inflammatory tinctures. So, I decided 3 days ago to join him hoping it’ll do something for me. It’s only been 3 days, so I haven’t noticed a difference or anything. Went to PT today for my hip.…

AF - 11 A - 16 Another late night of work. Frustrations are high! I hate when the people who are in charge don’t explain things to those the changes effect. I end up having to be the trainer, operations police, and event planner while meeting my own deadlines for getting these events contracted and details planned. Then,…
-
AF - 10 A - 16 Well, I’ve finally had a chance to sit down and get on here. However, I can honestly say I haven’t read every post. This past week I think I worked almost 70 hours which is not only not normal but completely insane. I was stressed like crazy, and I couldn’t break away to go for a walk, to cook dinner, to eat…
-
AF - 7 A - 11 1 glass last night. It’s a wine my son’s gf’s mother gave me for my birthday, but this particular brand makes me mean when I drink more than 1 glass. So, this one will last a min of 4 days. Maybe I need to start buying that one, so I know I can’t have more than 1 glass when I drink.🤔 @SurferGirl1982 I want to…

It’s too early to wind down. They assigned to me a total of 68 events to plan by the end of March! 32 of those are in February! 😱🤯 the system they use relaying requirements is slow and out dated. It’s a *kitten* show for real! Hubby and son are away this weekend just me, my daughter, and MIL. Tomorrow is my daughter’s…

AF - 7 A - 8 So I’m still upside down, but last night was AF. The A days are only 2 glasses (except on my b-day which ended up being more like 3-1/2 glasses), so I’m keeping it at half a bottle for the most part each time which is a goal when I do drink. I haven’t walked or logged my food which were part of my goals, but…

AF - 6 A - 7 I’m upside down, but it’ll change starting today. Slowing down now that the birthday is over. Party was fantastic and hubby took me to dinner last night on my actual birthday. Still 2 potential birthday dinners to go with my parents and a good friend who couldn’t make it because of the weather. Thank you for…
-
AF - 6 A - 4 So the A days are creeping up. This weekend doesn’t look good for a reset since it’s my birthday. This winter weather has put a mild damper on my party today because my parents and a good friend won’t be coming due to being over an hour away and not wanting to drive at night. They could always stay the night,…

I did good last night and only had 1 glass of wine then went to bed. I am debating on having another glass tonight.

I GOT THE JOB!!! But… there’s been a delay with it, and I may not start it until April. Always seems to be something. 🙄 Anyway, I’m going to count today as a an A day and have a celebratory glass of wine after I pick up my son from work. AF - 6 A - 1

AF - 6 A - 0 Was a little more tempted to drink last night, but I baked bread instead. Nothing better than the smell of fresh baked bread. Had my interview yesterday, and I believe it went well. I don’t think it matters how well it went because the boss-lady wants me in the position because she knows I will do the job. I…
-
AF - 5 A - 0 Went for my walk today, and my hip was giving me real problems. So, the walk was cut short. Still picked up 2 kitchen-size trash bags of litter after about a week of no walking. Supposed to rain tomorrow, so may not walk. I have my interview for my new job tomorrow. I believe it’s just a formality since the…

The only thing that needs to multiple like bunnies around here ARE the bunnies! Lol. I know my husband means well. When I ask him why he buys it, he says “because I love you.” I have told him I am trying to really limit my drinking, but I don’t think he quite gets it. Which is strange because he was the one who really made…
-
Well… it will be like smoking, people will know it’s bad and still do it. Many of us already know the immediate health problems that come with drinking as much as we do, and here we are still doing it. Hell, the hangover I had Wednesday should definitely be a deterrent for anyone and everyone to quit drinking! But, alas,…

I need to beat the stinking magician who keeps making them appear! (I’d kill him, but I kinda need his income.😉) Oh well, not wanting it anyway. AF - 3 A - 0

OMG… the magical bottle appeared today. I still have a half a bottle behind it that was leftover from the 2 bottles I bought the Monday before New Year’s. I just got over the worse hangover I’ve had in a long time from drinking a bottle and a half in one night! I am NOT interested in drinking anything right now. Wine…
