13 out of the last 14 af and then it was one glass of wine. As @JenT304 said, Great Therapy, this thread.

Started last round at 144 and ended on 2/26 at 143. My goal for this round is to lose another pound. Creeping slowly toward goal. Day/Weight/Comment 2/27.. 142.4 Not sure about this drop. 45 min on ellip yesterday. Hopefully gym today. Got my car back! 2/28 3/1 3/2 3/3 3/4 3/5 3/6 3/7 3/8

Before we switch over to March thread, please let us know how you did, what you learned this month, and how you feel with less alcohol in your system. It really is a poison. Thanks to this thread I've been AF 11 days this month since finding this thread 12 days ago. I've had one glass of wine which I made a decision to…

Day/Weight/Comment 02/17...144.. not sure about that increase... Got in 15 min on ellip and 1.5 in gym yesterday. Muscles delightfully sore. I'm hoping it's water weight in recovering muscles.

I'm in the middle of it. It is very insightful as to motivation.

Was 10 days af but went out after a movie last night and had a glass of wine with appetizers. No regret, I made the decision to have it and sipped it and enjoyed. After it was gone, I wanted something more but not alcohol when I noticed the people sitting next to me at the bar had left a half full bottle of Pellegrino…

@JulieAL1969 1969 re alcohol aging... looking for my cross and garlic

@MissMay If you know where you are going, you can usually pull up their menu on the net and enter food into your diary to see what the count is. Not everything will be there but a lot of it is.

Congratulations.

Today makes 9 days AF. Feeling good and more in control of my food choices as well. Sleeping better and waking more rested.

@angelacatheart I eat more when drinking. It 'opens the appetite'. Speaking strictly calorie wise, I'd rather have a piece of dark chocolate for the calories than the booze.

@Hiba2 I get the same way when it's time, or over-time, for exercise. My body gears up for it and wants exercise now!

6 days AF. Haven't refrained for this long for a while. Feels good. Think I'm going to take the rest of the box of red wine I have and freeze it as ice cubes to use for cooking so I get the best use out of it - the flavor!

@FattieBabs I'm going to treat it the way I do when I eat heavy or processed junk. I make the decision that it is what I want to do right then and then accept it. For some, it's ok to have some occasionally although it's never really healthy.

@Sabine_Stroehm @JenT304 I'll try the seltzer next time. Or maybe be really cheap and ask how much before I order.LOL "Please, sir, how much?"

I saw a shrub last night for the first time. I think I'll try some for a nice change. Thanks.

Went to Happy Hour (?) and ordered club soda. My friend asked 'why did you come if you're not going to drink?' Doesn't that say a lot about it all? I responded, 'To see you.' Had a club soda and was happy. It floored me though that they charged me as much - less 15 cents - as for a draft. I order a couple appetizers so it…

It's 4 days af for me. My goal is to be more conscious of drinking - not having it a taken for granted or daily part of my life - rather than abstaining completely. I'm going out for happy hour (isn't it a strange name for what it is?) and decided I'll be happy with a tonic and lime. This thread is so supportive,

@JulieAL1969 Thinking in terms of 'I can have one when I want but I don't want right now' is more about freedom than limitation=never being able to have one. It's going for something rather than against it. Thanks for sharing what your sister said.

I arrived a week early for the lunch that I thought was yesterday. LOL Walked around Charming Charlie's and was amazed at how many items have a reference to alcohol. As someone else mentioned, it's everywhere.
