And not let them trigger me

Oh Cathy I am so happy to see you here! I thought we lost you the other night too. I was so busy yesterday that I didn't have time to get on here. I am really happy to hear that you had a good night with your family. Your husband must have really enjoyed your company. Figure out how you're going to work around your triggers and get ready for next Friday. I'm off to work, but I'll try to check in later to see how you're doing. :l

Good morning and THANKs again for your care and support. I'm doing real well keeping busy. Eating when I'm suppose to feels so good to wake up and not guzzle water. Reach for the excederin migraines and visine. Yay. I put my jeans on this morning and they're not so tight in my stmach area. I'm not all bloated and feeling yick! Also no dsrk lines under my eyes either. Yay I feel happy this morning and not worried about anyone sieeing me cause I am not hungover. I'm smiling. THANK YOU ALL so much. I gotta keep going!

I'm happy to hear that you're sober and glad to see you posting. I was worried when we didn't hear from you again last week.

Do you have a plan in place for Friday? You need to know what you're going to do before the time and craving comes.

Do you have the grocery shopping situation figured out? Is it possible for you to shop in the early morning, before the cravings hit? Do you know what you'll be drinking with dinner on Friday? Plan this all out now.

Glad to see you Cathy! You sound great! As Fly said, make a plan...don't allow room for a "slip". I'm glad you're starting to feel better...it keeps getting better and better as time goes on. Keep us posted!

Hiya normally when I go out to eat I get diet pepsi I very very rarely get alcoholic beverage. To be honest I don't like to drink when I eat. Unfortunatlt what gets me in trouble is when id drink and not eat. I don't normally grocery shop on fri night I did last fri cause it was payday and we were out of things. I agree with early morning grocery shoppind be more suitable for m. Hope alls well with you e

I was always WAY too CHEAP to buy alcohol anywhere, that's why I only drank at home. I guess sometimes it pays to be a cheap-arse. LOL

Hang in there, and I promise some day the beer/alcohol aisle will hold no allure for you...you'll walk right on by and be WAY more interested in the donuts. HA

You're doing great!

Oh me too k9. I could never justify buying 2 drinks out. When I could spend the same $ or less and have a whole 12 pack.
