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…

I'm back this month. Get 2025 off on the right foot. I'm going to weigh-in on Mondays, so I know how much work I have ahead of me each week. It usually sets the tone for my determination for the week. This month might be a little hard simply because I have a my 50th birthday party this month, but one day shouldn't kill the…

Happy New Year everyone! I spent New Year's Day battling the worst hangover I have had in a long time, and I felt incredibly stupid. I just didn't realize how much I was drinking. I definitely did not intend to drink as much as I did. It was ridiculous if I'm being completely honest. I have no intentions of doing that…

AF - 19 A - 12 I had a wonderful NYE, until I woke up New Year’s Day with a horrible hang over. So dumb of me!

I’m in… Goals for January 2025 - get my drinking back to where it was before November and get back to losing weight. I gained a bunch back. I can’t afford to do that! Happy New Year everyone!

AF - 17 A - 12 Counting tonight as AF since I’m still sick.

AF - 15 A - 12 Drank the last of the mulled wine last night. This morning I woke up with a full blown head cold and no voice! I guess it is a good excuse to lay around and be lazy.

AF - 15 A - 11 It’s a good thing I don’t make mulled wine year round. 🤦🏻‍♀️
