Savvy...DON'T beat yourself up over it. No biggie. Get your last hurrah in if that's what you've decided to do. You COULD also switch to water right now and then be at least that much more hydrated in the morning...never to late to keep on trying!

Ron...I'm feeling much like you right now. Had an ikky day over-all but, the logic I'm using by not drinking, is that at least when tomorrow comes I can be happy about today having been AF! Hang in there buddy. Go home, have a nice dinner, keep your body and mind busy...before long it'll be bedtime anyways and you'll high-5 yourself for having gotten through the tough part of the day.

Am shooting for a day #3 AF tomorrow. Good energy to all.

Oh decastille...I'm so sorry. Looks like you're one of our "today was a bad day" gang. We all need to go to bed early and welcome in a new day tomorrow. Full of promises for better mindsets, promising new opportunities, better sales even! Whatever would be the best that could happen tomorrow CAN definitely happen.

That being said, some things we have NO control over. We get what we get. We CAN control whether we pick up that cup (or can or bottle or shot glass) and let Al in. Let's try for at least 1 AF day for Wednesday and we know that tomorrow CAN'T get any worse than making that decision to drink...after all, it looks like we all had a Tuesday that was the PITS!

Chins up and tomorrow is another day.

Like I garbled out yesterday - today is Day 1. Feeling ok. So far...

Decastille - maybe you need a good heart-to-heart with your husband. He needs to know how you're feeling... don't you think?

Savon...I know you can do this. I am somehow on day 4 and I am amazed with myself! Not sure I will make it through today though. You can be strong...and at least be happy with the fact that you made it through any days AF. Today is a new day...there is no shame in starting over! :h

AbsoLUTEly no laughs about the paint by numbers. I find coloring with my son in his coloring books to be totally calming! Sounds like a great idea!!

What a great idea. I have never thought of using paint by numbers. Day 4 for me, which I have not even attempted in about a year. Have not done terrible in that year and made some progress but felt like tying AF again. I do love doing puzzles, crossword and jigsaw. Fun. Wonder why day 4 is so difficult? I usually go out on Wednesday but stayed home just so I would not be tempted. Exercised and ate good today and will now have a cup of decaf coffee or tea.

Good luck to all.

Decastille - that sounds fun! Post your masterpiece...!!

Yesterday was AF. Going to lunch at my favorite Mexican place with friend today. I may be meeting another friend this evening... and the thought of drinking at some point has already crossed my mind. NOT good.

Hope all are doing well - Ronaldo?
