AF tonight! I was thinking of pouring myself a glass of the Decoy Featherweight, but decided to see how I felt after I ate dinner. Good thing I held back because now I’m over my calories, so cannot fit it in! Truth be told, I’d still love some, but instead I put myself to bed. It’s a good way to wean myself down.

Hi all, what a weekend! We lost power because the mulch delivery dump truck got caught in the electric line above our driveway, and ripped the whole line down, including a piece of the house!!!!! We spent the weekend getting the power company and a local electrician to get us back up to speed. So, that meant a lot of…

I feel this so hard. Why don’t our bodies crave broccoli or lean protein in times of stress? Nooooooo, they crave sugar and alcohol. Sorry to hear you had a rough week. You’ll get back on the horse soon!

Thank God they were able to revive her! That’s scary. When my parents were ill and dying, my sister could not handle it. At all. She was completely useless so it fell to me to coordinate everything. I get that I lived closer and that she worked full time- I don’t begrudge her that. However, I could have used some support…

Why did it not occur to me to ask for God’s help with reducing alcohol???? Duh! I reach out to Him for so many other things! At any rate, @I_am_motivated i loved your post. So happy to hear you’re turning things around. I can relate to so many things you said.

@lmlmrn sorry to hear your DH had a less than clean result. Hopefully it’s benign and fixable. I can only imagine the worry stress!

That is really scary. Here’s a bright spot- if your doc thought it was that life threatening, he would have made sure you got into the cardiologist yesterday! So maybe take it as a good sign that it’s OK enough to wait for an appointment. Good on you for making changes right now though!!!

That’s fantastic!!!!!

Saw the total eclipse Monday, and it was just incredible! May be the most awe inspiring thing I’ve ever seen. Only 2AF days so far this month. I bought the new Decoy low alcohol Sauvignon Blanc, will give that a try tonight and report back.

@NonnieDoiron sonaorry to hear about your MIL! Very scary situation. @MissMay. Oh totally time for an a new job. What an unprofessional thing to do! I can’t believe it.

Just caught up with all the posts! I’m so inspired by you all. I was not AF during the week last week, except for Monday. However, I didn’t do more than one glass of wine. I’m really struggling with being AF during the work week. This weekend I kept it to two per day, but my goal was one. Still not horrible, but also not…

AF tonight! Fever tree sparkling pink grapefruit in my Waterford stemware for the win! As for sugar, I did OK… but adding leftover baked beans was a necessity because my leftover meat is a little dry. Oh well, at least I didn’t have to cook! I’m so excited by everyone’s energy here today!

That’s amazing!!! Way to go! Happy for you.

Hello LA peeps! Welcome newcomers! I love this group! In for both less alcohol and the 21 day sugar detox. Aside from the alcohol, I actually started eliminating sugar last week and it made a difference with how I looked and felt.( It all went out the window this weekend because I had pizza at a party Saturday, and bagels…

Another AF night! I would have liked a glass of wine, but resisted. Doing well with logging food and getting enough protein too!

@lmlmrn I hope you feel better! Being sick stinks. The fatigue is unreal. Hey guys. Finally finally have an AF day! Didn’t even want a glass of wine, which is a shock. I am taking the win!

I’m with you on the reset! I had a super fun, but super boozy weekend. Went over my limits each day. No hangover, but I’ve certainly had them in the past. We got this!

Oh I feel this so much! Welp, I’ll tell you what everyone on this thread told me last time I was in your position (which was not that long ago)….. give yourself some grace. Slipping up does not make you a bad person, lazy, or stupid. Makes you human. Don’t beat yourself up. We’re all on your side, and we’ve all been there.

I once did a 21 day Sugar detox. Here’s a copy of the book. It really worked well for me. I should do it again. I’d be in for April!

Oh yes it does! It’s uncanny! It passes though, if that’s any consolation.

Two nights in a row I came home to a delicious meal prepared by my DH! Had a glass of wine with each, but nothing excessive. This week, wine is a celebration, not a mind eraser. But I’m still consuming wine every night, regardless of the reason. I find I’m hungrier now that I’m more consistently working out, and that…

It’s so hard to care for someone who just will not help themselves. You have your hands full, that’s for sure. Hugs! Also, my sentiments exactly with what you said to @Jthanmyfitnesspal ans @dmally1.

This, so much!!!!!!

Aww, you guys, *snif* thank you so much for the kind words. It really means a lot. I need to learn that giving myself some grace is not the same thing as justifying bad behavior. On a good note, I moderated well this past weekend, and boy oh boy do I love all the spring flowers!!! They make me so happy. Hope everyone has a…

Ugh, plan went out the window yesterday. Wouund up having a glass and a half at lunch, sanctioned by my boss! It was really nice to have a cold wine on a beautiful day sitting outside. Then I had a glass at wine night ant work. and drank it because I felt bad turning it down after it was poured. Then I got home, DH had a…

@xbowhunter sorry to hear about the osteoarthritis, but hey, if that’s the final push you need, it’s a blessing in disguise! @NonnieDoiron welcome! Ah, catty B****es at work…. Congrats on your retirement, it’s so nice to get out of a bad work environment. Sounds like it was a huge catalyst for the domino effect drinking…

That completely stinks! Sorry you’re going through this. I hope you find relief from insomnia, and that your hubby feels better.

Yes! This! I feel your frustration though, @tmbg. Totally valid!

Only one glass of wine the last two nights. Yay! Progress! Welcome @SparkSpringtime69! Glad you’re here. @itladyee congrats on the news of your second grandchild! That’s so exciting!

Only one glass of wine last night. Progress! @forestdweller1 waking up at 2:00am, on purpose, to set the clocks- that’s some anal-retentive crap right there!
