  • I am back as well (64 years old female). The last 2+ years have been high stress and I kind of let food slide. I have 13 pounds to lose and am down 1.5 pounds since I started on July 3rd. But more than losing the weight, I want to continue to develop good habits of eating/exercising so that I feel great every day. Good…

  • Happy to have been 18 days AF in June. I think that is a record for me. Especially since I was visiting family during that time. Back home now and wanting to stay AF because I feel so good. I had a great mock mojito while I was gone. Sometimes it really helps to have a special drink when everyone else is having margaritas,…

  • @MissMay I love your attitude - 23 days AF is better than 17!!! I am 13 consecutive days AF and feeling great. Visiting family (and attending a celebration of life for my brother) for a week and it is always harder to cut down alcohol use around my family. I am determined to make my own choices about being AF and stick to…

  • We had friends over last night and I had prepared margaritas (which I LOVE) and wine. I stuck to my goal of staying AF for the evening and I feel so good today. I think this might be a first that I have had these friends over and been AF. New habits!!!

  • I am back in this group after a long Covid year. My SO and family were all drinking more and I have trouble sticking to my decisions around others. Last week I made an alcohol goal for the year and I am determined to keep it. Heading back to visit family later this month (who all drink a lot) for a week and I am hoping I…

  • I made a personal goal of an almost AF January and I feel so good to be keeping it. Had a dinner party last night for 8 of us and there was lots of good wine (my old fav). Had a sip of two reds from my sweetie's glass and felt happier drinking my water. At the end of the night I felt especially good knowing I still had…

  • First I want to thank you Miss May for always noticing our successes. Second I LOVE your story. My little angel is sometimes not as loud as yours. But your story reminds me to listen to the angel and to amplify her voice until it is LOUD. Thanks! PS I have not posted in a very long time. But I am here, doing well and…

  • I have been mostly alcohol free for several months now. It's always hardest around my family because this is my family "culture". I just visited them for 4 days including one big family party with lots of good wine and alcohol events every day (including margaritas at the beach- my old favorite) and I did not drink!…

  • My family came to visit and the biggest difficulty I have is not drinking socially, especially with family as I was raised to drink with them. Family was here for 12 days and I succeeded in not drinking with them. I felt great throughout their visit and they were ok with me not joining in. It feels like the next time I am…

  • I am new to this thread. I lost 40 pounds since August 1st and along the way reduced my alcohol to the point that I have only had a sip of wine occasionally for the past 6 months. I grew up in a family that drank a lot each day (although nobody was ever drunk) and I am surprised at how much peer pressure I feel to drink.…
