afernoon everyone. Well the cold snap is to continue up to the weekend or that was our latest forecast. Day 5 for me. I need to work more on my diet and exercise plan but one step at a time but the main thing is keep off the drink one day at a time. I'm going to get a walk in today and where i have to go is 25 min walk there and back. still some icy patches about but its improving so good time to start my walking again. Happy tuesday.

It seems as if the so called global warming has not reached anyplace as it is cold almost throughout the U.S..

I am hoping it warms up enough this afternoon to do some golfing and then DW would like me to stoke up the grill for supper. Sounds like a great AF to me! Bike riding is fun again when done without a headache and bodyache.

OK - I'm CURIOUS! Are all of you on this thread aiming for an AF 2010??

If so, Wow. I've just been reading some of the posts on here, and I'm not sure if that's the goal...

If that's really the object of this thread... I'll probably jump off (even tho' I'm almost at a month)... Just TOO big of a goal for me!

No need to jump off, I'm struggling to, may make the jump before you, but it will not be for the want of trying. Welcome aboard.

I guess my plan is to substitute my drinking alcohol with drinking herbal teas. I like the Celestial Seasonings cherry and blueberry teas. Problem is, my husband drinks-so I can't get rid of the alcohol we already have. I'd love to pour it down the drain and know I don't have any in the house-it would be easier that way.

Also add to that plan an hour of exercise everday- with a goal for April to be 20 lbs lighter and AF- April 22 is my birthday-so, that's my short-term goal! Thanks for the welcome, Wine Lover!

:welcome: to all of newbies!!

So far I have stayed AF all four days of this new year. Feeling good, but still struggling at times with the psychological cravings. Think it is just the habit I am missing more than the alcohol.

All year AF is my goal, but I don't know that I can be that strong.

I see everyone is aiming for good nutrition and exercise, and I do think that is an essential key to success. At least that helps me feel better and also better about myself.

Best of luck to all!!!!!!

Hi all,
Hope you're all having a nice evening.

Hi Micah, re advice for a binger - some people have had success with supplements such as Naltrexone and Baclofen, but for me personally I can't risk trying that at the moment and have to be aF. I agree with Cuckoo - beyond my conception right now.

Hi Firefox, Yeah we've got snow predicted here again - could be nice having a bit of a stroll in the white stuff

Haha Com, my dad is moaning as it is too snowy where he is to play golf!!

Savon, I am indeed aiming for an AF 2010. I can't be honest and say I will definitely do it but I'm going to give it my best shot. I don't know if that's everyone's goal on here, but I really don't care. It's about trying to make 2010 a better year and drawing a line under 2009. Congratulations on nearly a month! You are welcome to join us whatever your goal- I know most people prefer to do it in bitesize bits!

Pipsqueak and Fluff, welcome glad to have you on board I love my herbal teas as well. Cherry and blueberry sounds divine.

And hi Winelover - if you are struggling and need to talk you can PM me though I don't know what your timezone is so you may have a wait a teeny bit for a reply. You too, Horsegirl. Glad you are feeling good, but I know what you mean about the psych cravings.

Happy AF Tuesday everyone!

Hi Everyone, :new:

Been hanging around here for about a year. This is my first post. You have all been so helpful and I have recieved so much insight into my behaviour. Today (Wednesday where I am) is the start of day 4 af for me. I had two months af in Oct and Nov last year then had 1 glass which put me on top of the slippery slope which I then proceeded to plunge down at a fast rate of bottles during Dec. Do not want to live like that anymore - ever. I have decided af is the life for me and I feel determined and positive. I woke this morning and my first thought was whether I had been drinking or not - so much relief and gratitude when I realized hey no, I was OK. Got to go to work now but will be back. Thank you all

Hello all.

Fluff, Mazzie, Pipsqueak and Savon good to have you on board. Congrats on all the days AF already. This is only day 2 for me but feeling hopeful. I have been drinking detox tea for the past couple of days and I do love my herbal teas too.

Com 1, Firefox, Kimberly, I'm tired of the cold already and the 2 feet of snow we had a couple of weeks ago was enough for the rest of the winter.

Horsegirl and winelover, always good to see you here.

Looks like I better not beetch about the cold days ahead here. Supposed to be highs of 40 on Fri. and Sat.. Two days with no golf is going to be tough!

Great day today and another expected tomorrow. I did have some AL thoughts on the course today tho'. Had to remind myself that I don't drink anymore. All was well after.

Congrats to all as we pull ourselves onwards and upwards.
