Welcome FranksSand, congrats on cutting back. Less is better than more in my book. I am working on mindful moderation: AF Sunday thru Thursday then 2 or 3 on the weekend. Some weeks are better than others, oh well. It’s just like my weight loss journey, one day at a time?

Congrats!

Thank you for continuing this thread into September. The information page at the beginning of each month is so helpful. I refer to it often during the month. Once again I am still planning a mindful moderation month. AF Sunday-Thursday, limit 2 Friday and Saturday.

Still practicing mindful moderation, feeling good about my choice...less is better than more Miss the activity on this thread, hope it sticks around since it’s been helpful to us for months

As with any group sometimes people can say something that you may not agree with...skip over those posts.Overall the group here is supportive and compassionate. Like EIC_76, I’ve learned to moderate. My relationship with alcohol is changing. I’m thankful for be able to come here and learn from you all.

Many thanks to JulieAL1969 for all she’s done to create a nice and supportive community. I have learned so much from this thread this year.

It’s true...really hard to get back to moderation after vacation, especially when it’s summer. Every night something’s happening and you get caught up. Restarting on Sunday, AF during the week, 2 Friday & Saturday.

Happy Birthday, Julie...Enjoy your special day!

This is a wonderful thread, thank you for keeping it going Julie!

@crazykatlady820: Congrats on your accomplishments! I had something similar happen after losing 25 pounds. My doctor thinks that if I continue to do what I’ve been doing the cholesterol and triglycerides will come down. My physical is in November but I may ask for an fasting blood test to be done before then to see where…

Welcome new folks...Thanks for keeping this thread going, Julie! My goal for June is once again be AF Sunday thru Friday and be mindful during the weekend.

A stressor for me is dealing with my Mom. I am like Pavlov’s dog wishing for a drink when I call her and she doesn’t answer the phone. Mom is a very strong willed, independent 81 year old. She lives alone and is in mostly good health, except 2 times in the past year she has gotten stuck on the toilet for close to 24 hours,…

Love this thread! I’m getting ready for a garage sale this weekend. I am finally going through boxes we packed when moving here 10 years ago. I convinced my 23 year old son to sell video games and boyhood stuff. Feeling very empowered and have been on point with my weight loss quest this week

Hi, I’m in! I like @WinoGelato’s plan of Mindful Moderation. My goal is AF Sunday-Thursday and making deliberate choices on Friday and Saturday. Trying to break behavior patterns are challenging, so glad to have this group because it’s nice to have like minded folks to learn from.

Triglycerides were high and ratio was not good, don’t have numbers because I’m traveling

Well, I was shocked because my diet and exercise habits had been really good. My doctor contributed it to the loss of estrogen due to menopause and was pleased the A1C was in a healthy range and weight loss He has me on a low dose statin and will re-evaluate in November. The reason I am asking is to see if other people (or…

It’s amazing what triggers the “I’d like a drink” response. Almost gave in this week but instead went to bed early and had one of those long, convoluted dreams about a Russian mafia guy dressed in disco outfit posing as a college Professor of a class I didn’t know I was taking, hahaha.
-
Thank you for the responses. My doctor prescribed a low dose of Crestor 5mg, twice a weekbut otherwise approved of my diet. We will recheck it at my physical at the end of November.

Thank you Julie for hosting this thread. I am trying to cut back on alcohol because I realize it’s slowing down my weight loss as well becoming a every night thing. In March I started not drinking Sunday through Thursday and cut back on the weekends. I plan to continue that pattern in April and be much more alcohol aware.…
