@globalhiker I did most of my cleaning yesterday, and the family we had over last night are incredibly picky eaters. So, it was chicken tenders, full-sized hot dogs wrapped in crescent rolls, grapes, chips and dip, and cheese and crackers. All the adults had wine last night. I drank my wine, and everyone else had sangrias.…

I’m in for October. Thanks @MissMay for keeping the thread going.

AF = 21 A = 6 @forestdweller1.. YES! Those damn liars get in the way! But, I still write them.🙄🤦🏻‍♀️🤣 That damn magic bottle of wine showed up on my countertop again today. Walked through the kitchen to out the dog in his kennel, so he’d leave the medical transport people alone when they picked up MIL, and there it was!…

AF = 19 A = 6 Tired… it’s been a long day. Couldn’t get to sleep last night and was woken up too early from my work phone going off at 4am. 🙄

AF = 18 A = 6 I think I forgot my b12… better go do it before I forget again.🙄

I completely understand. And, you’re not as big a mess as you think you are. You’re here and checking in daily. You’re doing the work and making the effort. We are all here to support you! I have been diagnosed with depression and anxiety, but I am not medicated because of my drinking. I know I drink to self-medicate. So,…

So, I’ve been reading the posts about going long stretches AF, like 30-90 days. And, I appreciate why people want to do that. I completely understand it, and I think it’s great for everyone who will or will try to do it. It’s just not for me. I enjoy my wine. My problem has been I enjoy it just too much and too often. This…

AF = 17 A = 5 Having wine tonight. I made hubby promise to make me walk in the morning. No excuses.

AF = 17 A = 4 Didn’t get any wine last night like I thought I would. But that’s ok. My weight is up, so I don’t need it anyway. I’ve been a little miffed at hubby lately. To be fair, I don’t deal with our finances, and it was my choice. I’m good with not having to look at the bills because it stresses me out. BUT… Every…

It was great getting up on skates again, and I found my balance and my groove faster than I thought I would. My daughter on the other hand struggled all night, that picture was her posture most of the time she skated. She just doesn’t relax… kinda like her mom.😉 I did notice that most of the kids were wearing earbuds and…

AF = 16 A = 4 @forestdweller1 😂 the tattoo is on my arm. I will post a pic when it’s done. It still has about 3 hrs to go, so it looks a little weird at the moment. A stranger stopped me in the store today to admire what was there so far. I’m even more excited to get it done now! No wine tonight though I wanted it. Instead…

AF = 14 A = 4 Tattoo started last night. Have about 3-3.5 more hours of tattooing to complete it, but it looks so good so far. AND, hubby has decided to help me pay for almost half of what is left to be done. 😁 I’m even more excited now!

AF = 12 A = 4 Work computer died today. Spent all day running back and forth to Best Buy. Got no work done. 🙄 Double pile-up of work to do tomorrow. Praying I can get through it by 4pm, so I can go get my new tattoo!!! My husband really doesn’t want me to get it, but I don’t care. I have saved us so much money since…

AF = 11 A = 4 Didn’t drink Friday. Drank almost a full bottle of wine while celebrating my bestie’s birthday yesterday, but it was over the course of the day. So I got a little tipsy, but not drunk and no hangover. Slept good too. I will not drink tonight, so I’m logging it. Too tired to drink. It’s been so damn busy…

AF = 8 A = 3 UGH!!! I am so far behind in reading all the posts. If I can get hubby to drive tonight, I may be able to catch up. I did read some and @SparkSpringtime69 I used to do the same negative self-talk when I worked out years ago. I called it “my inner-Jillian”, the mean trainer from the Biggest Loser show. When I…

AF = 7 A = 3 Canning chicken stock tonight. Have 7 quarts in the pressure canner now. And it looks like 4 more to go. Work and life are very busy right now, and I just don’t feel like I’m getting a break. Tomorrow, I have to take my car to the shop because the check engine light is on. After work, I need to make a…

AF = 6 A = 3 I would like to have a glass of wine tonight, but my husband has already gone to bed (it’s 7:00). I have to pick up my son from work at 8:00, I need to keep my caloric intake down, and I don’t have any anyway. Ended up freezing my chicken broth. Just didn’t have time for canning this week. Hoping on Sunday.

Was in a hurry last night when I posted my tally. @shorepine welcome back! @SurferGirl1982 I had a similar weight chart when I first reduced the wine. It’s amazing what our bodies do with and without alcohol. @Womona love the boat! @looneycatblue keeping your BIL and SIL in prayer. Hope his recovery is quick and complete!…

AF = 4 A = 3 Well… I cleaned my bathrooms, paid my daughter to dust the house, cooked a really yummy dinner, and I did some work today. I normally wouldn’t work on a Saturday, but felt like I needed to catch up. But, when I started going through my list, I realized it wasn’t nearly as bad as I thought! I was so worried…

@SurferGirl1982 you’ve been here long enough to know we don’t give up on anyone! 😉 AF - 3 A - 3 There I go, evened out. I’m exhausted this week has been a rough one. And, it’s not over. Oh well. Non-drink or weight-loss related goals for this weekend: clean the bathrooms, dust the living room (at least), can my chicken…

AF - 2 A - 3 Calling tonight AF now. Don’t even have it in the house. @forestdweller1 thanks for the encouragement. I am just overwhelmed with work, my son’s future, and… well… just everything basically. But, I’m trying to not let it drag me down and wallow at the bottom of the bottle. 🙂 @globalhiker I’ve wondered the same…

AF - 1 A - 3 Went to discuss guardianship of my disabled son with a lawyer today. 😕 One of those things that reminds you that one day you will die, and you need to prepare. 🙄 It doesn’t help a good friend’s husband died Wednesday and we went to the funeral on Sunday. Very heavy week this week… only 2 glasses of wine on the…

@looneycatblue I feel you! I swear my bladder has its own alarm clock! And, it’s set for a full hour before my actual alarm clock rings. 🙄 AF - 1 A - 2 Calling tonight AF. I’ve finally lost enough weight to wear my wedding ring again and my low-fat fat jeans! (The fat jeans before the fatter jeans 🤣)

AF - 0 A - 2

AF - 0 A - 1 Had the last two glasses from the bottle I opened the night before last night which means no wine today when we have guests over because I don’t have any. Completely fine with me. Welcome to the group @Pokey4321. The yard work to keep your mind off drinking is a good idea. I like to craft to keep my hands busy…

I’m here for the party in September!🙂 I want September to be a repeat of August in that I don’t drink a full bottle of wine in one evening. After this morning’s headache after only 2 glasses of wine, it may not be that hard to accomplish. @MissMay thanks for keeping the post going and being encouraging as well as an…
