Two glasses of wine last night. One was at a “sip and shop”. I didn’t even really want wine but kind of felt that “when in Rome” feeling, so walked around the vendor tables with a wine in hand. Because God forbid I didn’t, right???? Today is yet another new day. Let’s all make it great.

Oh, I’m so terribly sorry for your loss! It’s so tough to lose someone you love so much. Grieving is a one step up, two steps back process. Big hug to you!

Happy 60th day AF! What a great way to celebrate a big milestone!
-
Thanks for the reminder! I totally forgot to actually order that NA wine last month-it was in my cart but I got distracted and never actually ordered it! Will do so today. Thanks for the recommendation on the Giesen NA red. I will look for it.

Two glasses of wine with dinner last night. I would not have ordered the second glass of wine had the first one not have gone down so easily. Today is a new day. At least I got a lot done on my day off !

@itladyee so great to see you back here! Happy belated 64th. I totally understand the melancholy. Time seems to go by so quickly, and unless we are mindful of how we’re spending our time, we can lose entire weeks and feel like our precious time on this earth is slipping away. Being intentional about each day, your…

Haha! Right????

AF tonight! Yay! I didn’t even really want it, so instead I had one of those Fever Tree Grapefruit things. In a wine glass it was rosé-ish. Huge win for me. I need to get out of the “red zone” in my app.

@xbowhunter thank you for checking in with us! Great to hear of your continued success, and wonderful to still have your incredible support. Nice work on sending back that Heineken!

Ugh I am never drinking again. Ok, we all know that’s a big lie, but oh man, was I hung over yesterday. I was at a conference with my colleagues, and Friday night for dinner I had an Old Fashioned and one glass of wine with dinner. No big deal. We got back to the hotel room and we all had another glass of wine, which of…

@SurferGirl1982 wait, WHAT????? OMG I’m so sorry that happened to you! I can see why it made you gun shy about the social aspect of this app. But, I’m glad you’re here! @Breathe57103 great job getting two birdies, and even better job on not having those birdie shots! @forestdweller1 your Thanksgivings sound amazing!…

@MissMay, sorry to hear that you’re still in pain from oral surgery. That’s definitely something that knocks you flat. Feel better soon! @Michieb125 that’s my timeline too! Except, nobody leaves by 8:00! I have some family that will stay until 10 or 11!!! One way we’ve combatted that is to buy tickets for a drive through…

That’s awesome!!

Two large glasses of wine, having dinner with a friend after a fun day of shopping. Hmmm… my Thanksgiving strategy…. After a Turkey trot (family runs, I will walk this year), I am hosting (as we do every year) and have my sister and BIL staying with me. My husband has a large family so I usually find myself with that first…

Oh good Lord!!!! I swear, I had no idea!

AF tonight! Woo hoo! Came home from an event late, and while I did think of having a glass of wine, I was able to say “nah” pretty easily. Who was saying not long ago that alcohol is a carcinogen? Dang! That sucks!!
-
Happy November!!!! I wound up going to see the Rocky Horror show (the actual stage performance) with a friend on Halloween, so I wasn’t alone on the big day. It was a fantastic show. Two drinks. This weekend did NOT get off to a good start… FOUR, count ‘em, four glasses of wine Friday night, and was definitely hung over…

I am so bummed…. The marina told us that they’re pulling the boat out of the water this week (it’s past the season’s end), so we have to scramble to take stuff off the boat before they do what they do to wjnterized it. I was really hoping for a couple more weeks to enjoy spending nights down there. I didn’t realize the…
-
@MissMay ooof. I just don’t know what to say. How you got through that party weekend with grace is truly an amazing thing. I think you’re right about rethinking that friendship- especially after you did her a favor by taking her along to get her out of the house. Presumably she knows you’ve pretty much cut out alcohol, and…

Hi all! I loved reading everyone’s oosts. Very informative info. Boy, am I glad to hear that coffee helps protect my liver! I have about 3 mugs-full every morning. The human body is a work of art, and it’s amazing how delicate the balance is to make everything function properly. I did well this weekend. Two drinks each…

Wine night at work - I literally said “I need a glass of alcohol” after a super busy shift. So much for sitting with discomfort!! 😠 And then I had more when I got home, so that’s two glasses when I only planned for one. That’s ok because I am going to dinner after my nephew‘s confirmation tonight. Will have only one glass…

Being an emotional eater (and drinker) is sooooo common. I know so many people who do this- I would say I’m more of a drinker than an eater. But the stressful, sad, etc. feelings are the same, as is the need for comfort. Somehow we got the message that food/alcohol is the big comfy blanket of when we need to make it all go…
-
I love this so much.
-
I stand very much corrected!
-
@SurferGirl1982 congrats on a two day streak! So happy for you! If you can do two days, you can do three…. And so on. @globalhiker just like you, I am trying to reduce calories and watch macros while trying to go less alcohol. If I cut out wine I know I would want more things in the chocolate family! It isn’t easy. I get…
-
AF tonight! Woo hoo! I didn’t even really want it-I wanted my dinner more. Had a great conversation with DS2, which is worth so much to me. Better than talking to him while chugging alcohol!
-
It’s called Noughty, and supposedly the sparkling rose is fantastic. I can personally vouch for it until I order, but a close friend’s mom, who enjoys wine, thought it was great. I would love an AF or LA wine tasting!!! Here is the link: https://us.noughtyaf.com/

@NonnieDoiron how exciting for your son!!!! You must be over the moon. Congratulations to him!! @Alatariel75 you didn’t do anything wrong- it’s not your fault that all the old businesses turned into bars. You are not responsible for your SO’s moods. Yes, it must have been a huge challenge for him, but you clearly have his…

Yesterday was not a less alcohol day for me. Glass of wine on the boat while we were motoring to check out what was upriver- no wind to speak of. At any rate, dinner with friends meant I had an Old Fashioned and then wine with dinner. Of course I had a headache when I woke up in the middle of the night. But overall feeling…

I understand completely. But keep coming back here to check in and get encouragement. Also, perhaps exposure to enough people working hard to overcome the same issues will make you feel less alone. Perhaps there is motivation by seeing others succeed. It kind of reminds me of my little bit of a shameful secret…. Sometimes…
