Went to the gym with hubby today.....felt so great!
Got home and TOTALLY cleaned the fridge- took me hours. Looks brand new.
So tonite I'm on glass #4......did I wipe out the great day and the gym??
Even if I go to bed before I hit # 5??

Keep it up. Awareness is a good thing. I did the same - had a few beers and made myself be aware and stop before I ruined myself. Up early and to the gym. It feels so good to excersise.
Hope everyone is having a great day!

Really worried about tonight

It has been a great day~ got hubby to the gym again. I'm determined to get myself back into shape and would love for my husband to feel better about himself also.

So here's my problem: We are invited to a "wine & cheese" party tonight.
Babysitting grandson tomorrow bright and early in the morning, all day, all by myself.
His mom is out of town, and my son and hubby are golfing.

I know if I have a hangover I will be miserable!
The party starts at 7~ I am praying I can hold out until at least we get there! AND don't drink more than 2 glasses......
To say I won't have any is ridiculous........I know myself better than that.

May I ask what your current goal is? And what your plan is to get there? I can see how much you want a different outcome than (as an example) waking up and trying to figure out what happened the night before. I've "been there done that" more times and years than I can count.

At least in my case, hoping to drink less was not effective as a plan. The elevator just seems to keep going down - at least it did for me until I finally got serious about getting OFF of the AL elevator before it got to the basement! It's difficult but worth it. There is more to life than going to bed early in order to not drink more.

I really encourage you to come up with a concrete goal and plan.

Strength and hope,

DG

To say you won't have any is NOT ridiculous, it's a good plan!!!

I had always looked so far ahead and fallen over ever time.

Me too!
I will try the 24 hr plan now. In fact it is only about 5-6 hrs which are problematic.

I think a pass on the invitation might be the best solution for now.
That doesn't mean you'll never go to another party, just that it might not be the best idea for now.
Agree, a plan is in order. Good luck!

I feel relieved

First of all~ not going to this party was really not an option. Very good friend of my husbands and he would have been crushed if I said no. Besides~ I probably would have drank more if I had stayed home! Really!
I DID NOT drink anything but sparkling h20 before we left, decided to not eat any dinner because they were having a feast at the party. I had exactly 3 glasses, two of which were not completely full and I added a cube of ice.
Got home at about 9:30 and went directly to bed.
The only problem was I tossed and turned all night wide awake. I don't know if I was anxious about getting up early to babysit or I usually sleep with way more AL in me.
Anyway~ I feel that I accomplished something.
Doggygirl.....I guess I really don't have a plan yet......just trying to reduce my intake right now and see where it takes me.

Hey, I am there!! It's monday and we can make a fresh start. Franz, read my last post in our "Wanted Women over 50 who drink wine" thread. Its about determination waning by the end of the day. Let's be aware of this and remind ourselves about how we felt early this morning. ODAT. Simple as that.
