Happy Weekend to all!!

[Lynnie]

Hi ! Just wanted to wish everyone a happy weekend. I'll be headed out soon from the office then home to pack for the cottage. Wish me luck as this will be my fist AF weekend. When I get back it'll be Day 6 for me and I'm determined to do it! It'll be tough though arriving there and seeing the beautiful lake and the sunset. A nice drink always goes so well with the ambiance.

Usually when the kids and hubby go to bed though I have some "me time" and stay up longer and have a few more. Not tonight though. We'll watch a movie after the sun goes down then I'll go to bed. I know I'll feel so good in the morning!! And proud!! So wish me luck!

And to all of you have a safe and happy weekend. Hang in all you newbies.....we'll check back in on Monday or maybe later Sunday when I get home.

This has been an awesome week on here getting to know you all and I already feel uplifted because I know I am not alone.

Cheers!!

:H

Nope that's the guy from the movie..."The Water Boy" who yells out "You can do it" to Adam Sandler when he takes the field.

Perhaps the reference was lost on this group.


My pic will have to wait a little longer.

No worries there, in the summer... it's two showers a day for me.

I did it! I did it!

Well....I went away on the weekend to our cottage (as we alwasy do) and never drank once. I am so proud of myself. I actually had fun doing it though! I bought some grape juice and Perrier water and drank those drinks instead. I went for a nice run both Saturday and Sunday mornings! It's so nice to wake up and feel great! My husband did not say anything on Friday night. I don;t think he even noticed and asked me on Saturday why I was not having a drink and I said I did not feel like it then on Sunday he asked me if I was going to have a drink. I decided to tell him how I was feeling. I did not tell him about this website or that I have this MWO book on order but I did share with him my feelings about how I feel we drink too much and I said alot more too. The greatest reason is that I want us to be great role models for our children. I'm glad I have this off my chest now. I'm sure he'll digest what I said and maybe change a bot too. Yesterday I did notice that he was a bit more moderate in his drinking so I guess my words did have some impact. You should see this guy though.....so handsome and athletic looking. he never seems to put on any weight from drinking.....myself I'd like to lose maybe 5 pounds so maybe by the time I'm done 30 days I will have done so.

How did everyone else do on the weekend?

I have made a decision to try and moderate at that point. Might as well give it a try eh?

Happy Weekend to all!!

That is so wonderful, Lynnie. I thought of you through the weekend. I pictured you raking some beautiful lawn at a beautiful cottage with an iced tea in hand. It is very inspirational to me to know you went on holiday and didn't drink!!!! I hope I can do it.

I now have two AF days and will do my best to make it until next Friday night (any longer just seems impossible.) It was really nice on SAturday night to run some clothes to my daughter who was spending the night at a friends and not convince my older son to do it because I'd had 3 glasses of wine.

I lose track of threads really easy, but where are all the other people who posted on the original thread I lost that have very similar situations - women with kids, drink wine too much, in their 30s and 40s - I would love to join with you all in cutting down on drinking.
And, Lynnie, again, thank you so much for sharing.
