@Womona honestly, I probably should get it resized. Hubby has recommended it too. But, I really do need to lose the weight. Wearing my wedding ring again without resizing is more of a reward at this point. I have an anniversary ring hubby gave me at 10 years that I wear now, but my wedding ring (engagement ring with a…

AF - 1 A - 0 I don’t think I can go all month without drinking at least 1 glass of wine. But, I’m going to try! I think the only thing that may stop me is calorie count. I am going to be very hard on myself this month for weight loss. I’m getting frustrated that I can’t seem to break out of the 190s and stay out of them. I…

@MissMay I’m very leery of kratom products. I’ve had too many friends who have had serious adverse reactions to kratom. Granted, they were using just kratom and this appears to be a blend. I don’t know much about kava at all. So, I couldn’t say. But, I probably wouldn’t try this as a personal choice.

Welcome back @Womona. I’d probably drink on the boat too, so I can’t blame you there! I did the same thing for June. I lost weight in the first half and put it back on in the second half. I can make a ton of excuses, but really I know what I need to do and I just need to do it! Here’s to a better July! 🥛(they really need a…

AF = 24 A = 6 Finished June strong on the drinking front. I think I only had one night where I drank 2 glasses of wine. The other 5 A days were only 1 glass. I wish I could do this well on the weight loss/exercise front.😕

I’m in for July.

AF = 23 A = 6 @forestdweller1 you’re probably right. It was better that we stayed home. This is the 2nd time I’ve had muscle spasms that have put me out of commission. The first was my entire back, and that had me on the couch for over a week and popping flexiril like tictacs! My doctor diagnosed it as stress-induced…

AF = 21 A = 6 Tonight was going to be an A night. Hubby saw an add for a wine bar with a game night and 1/2 off bottles of wine on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I think it’ll be fun, but my neck started spasming this morning. I haven’t been able to get relief. Staying home and being a baby for the night.

AF = 20 A = 6 Tuesday I had a glass of wine with dinner again. Last night was AF.

AF = 19 A = 5 Glass of wine with dinner. Almost didn’t finish it. Very different mindset for me to think about not finishing a glass of wine. Welcome back, @MissMay!

AF = 19 A = 4 Thanks, @Womona. I know she is supposed to have in-home PT, OT, and speech therapy. I just have no idea when any of that starts. And, YES, my husband is probably a bigger baby than my grandbaby at times! The ear plug sent me! I was so taken aback by the action, I laughed… rolling hard! When he came back into…

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…

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…
