Finally - a zero

[DancingGirl]

It's a long time since I've posted, but after a less than sober October, I've finally done an AF day and put my zero in the drink tracker. It is so easy to slip back bit by bit. I'm a "modder" and haven't done too badly at it over the year-and-a-half since I found all of you wonderful people. I lurk on the long-term mod thread, but in the past few months found the "I'm so busy and stressed, so I deserve this and just don't care" excuse taking over. Funny - identifying myself as a high-functioning alcoholic originally helped me keep it under control. In the last month, it's joined the excuses - "Hey, of course I'm drinking. I'm a high-functioning alcoholic!!"

Ah well - got that zero today.... finally....:fingers:

Good for you on putting that zero in there, I bet it felt pretty good didn't it? Are you looking at racking up some more AF days?

Finally - a zero

Yes - I think the one zero means nothing without more. One AF day does not moderation make! Tomorrow is Hallowe'en so I think easy to not have wine with dinner (my problem), and then with two under my belt, I should be able to continue through the week. ODAT, however; the one is there at any rate.

sigh....

Hi Dancing, I also am a "high functioning alcoholic" who thought I could Mod. After two years of tracking and worrying and trying to be sure I wasn't drinking too much...it's just too much! I need a break. So I've gone AF and I have to say it feels great!

I was aiming for a Sober October, but had a slip last week and got right back on. I just don't want it anymore.

Hope you hang in there and start feeling how great it feels to have that constant AL nag off your back!
Have a great evening and AF Haloween!

Hi Jackie!! and good to meet you ICan, vikesfan, and Brigitte. I have been generally successful in modding, but lost it this month when I started talking myself out of my AF days. So, back on my horse. Today feels rather crucial.

9000 posts Jackie and AF from the day we "met" - bravissima!
