Oh Mama, I am sorry you drank when you didn't want to, and glad you are right back on the af wagon. I didn't even want any of the wine being consumed before and during our Christmas meal.

Clear Eyes and Allswell, it is great to hear the progress you have made. As I keep telling Juja, look at my join date and notice how long it took me to quit for good.

Hippyman, great to see your positive energy here. FT, I am glad yo see you here as well.

Juja, you made it through the holiday, great work.

Nora, I hope you feel better soon.

Morning everyone!!

I agree - I'm so glad to have Clear Eyes, FT & Hippy.

K9 - Congratulations on one year!! That is so fantastic and I'm so happy for you.

Mama - I think you are doing awesome! That was one day out of how many? Compare it to last year. :l

Allswell - you are also doing so great.

Actually - everyone seems to be making wonderful improvements.

Well - I tried to go to work & they sent me home. Didn't want to catch it. :H So, I'm back home in bed. I have a Z-Pack antiobiotic that I'm going to start today. So, I should be feeling better soon.

Love to all .......

I drank too on Christmas Eve but right away AF on Christmas Day and will stay AF as long as I can....I don't plan on drinking again but New Year's Eve, may have a couple. Still wanting to have none at all because my concern at 40 is my weight and my liver. Drinking doesn't even appeal to me! I do it because my best friend does it and I want her to feel comfortable... HOW stupid is that?! Maybe I'll just pretend to drink on New Year's Eve. I don't even get a buzz on alcohol anymore! I think my brain cells are dead from alcohol induced neuronal death. I coined that term, btw.

Sorry Dottie! Just know that it wasn't anything that you did. :l

Sorry Dottie. I think this time of year makes us all feel somewhat unappreciated, or maybe it is just you and me but I doubt it. I came home tonight to kind of the same thing. I am dead beat tired from staying up and wrapping presents until 3:30 in the morning because I was sick the week before and needed to get everything done. They don't get it that if we didn't do it there would be no X-mas for the family.

Feeling kind of low tonight. Didn't feel like having to have a deep conversation with dh when I came home because I am short with him. I know it is yet another stage of being af but I don't like it. Also, my face is breaking out horribly and I am in my 50's. This happened last time. I know it is all the toxins leaving and will be gone in a few weeks but still it is not fun. Ok...enough of that.

Hope everyone is having a fabulous, quiet, and relaxing night. I will. I need to remind myself things could be so much worse. There was a college student killed in a car accident on his way home for Christmas break and my heart breaks for that mother. I think of her when I think about my problems and then they seem trivial.

Also, forgot to say sorry Mama but thanks for letting us know it was blah and not worth it. It has been entering my mind again as I am going away for a few days and always drank when traveling.
