    June free from AL

    Good Morning Juners! Day 21 here (I'm excited)

    S - Good going, getting back in the saddle and finishing June out with us.

    Next week is going to be a big test for me....it will be extremely stressful at the office trying to close for the year end. I feel good but plan on checking in on MWO several times a day

    Have a great day everyone!
    Miley

      Hi all, a quick post to report that all is well with me. I have a lot going on right now with work and personal life. Of course, who doesn't, right? Getting ready for another three week stint of travel with limited internet access.

      Tomorrow, to celebrate the soltice, our city is having a major yoga festival. I'll be there!

            Hey everyone....Thank God It's Friday. Day 22 here and my thoughts about al are finally starting to shift. Like the thought of taking a drink disgusts me....but I am sure at some point the old craving will creep in so I can't get too comfortable...especially with vacation right around the corner.

            Have a great day everyone!

              Hi Miley what are your vacation plans? Maybe talking it through, working out the triggers and developing a response could help?

                Hi all, had a few thoughts of AL as I walked through the park home but thought about what is going on. Realized how hungry I was so it was a quick stop to the grocery store for something fast (but gluten free), a quick check in on MWO and the thoughts have subsided. It works!

                  Are you also in the GF/AF club ??

                    No, I haven't made it to the GF club yet, but I have been reading about it. AMY's (a brand for frozen dinners) makes some all organic, gluten/dairy free tamale/black bean dinners. I was having terrible cravings for AL and thought, "this is a low blood sugar issue." Thus the fast, but somewhat nutritious meal.

                      Keep those AL cravings at bay! Very proud of everyone, keep up the great work. Whenever I think of even having a sip of an Al drink, I think of all of you hard at work to remain AF, and it keeps me strong! Almost to the end of June, getting strength from jenniech, no sugar, free, miley, witts end, last straw, 3June2013 and all the AF June gang!

                        Hey Guys......

                        3June....I'm not sure if my vacation plans are any different than what I'm doing now but they probably should be. Right now, I have been making sure I eat because hunger is a big trigger for me. I also haven't made a big production out of cooking (another big trigger for some reason). I try to stay busy after work so I'm not sitting around with idle time....another trigger (I have more issues than a magazine rack!). Vacation is going to be a change in environment and my everyday routine, so I'm not sure how to handle it....the tropical environment, evenings watching the sun go down over the water on the roof-top deck, dinners out, etc....

                        I feel healthier and I look better already after 22 days. I have more confidence and I don't want to lose that feeling so it may be enough to keep me going full speed ahead.

                        Last night we went to an Irish Pub for my step-sons's 21st birthday. Of course everyone was drinking. I honestly didn't want to drink and it was no effort for me to order a lemon club soda (it was delicious). I played pub trivia and had a good time and never thought about drinking. But then tonight, I called my husband on the way home from work and he was at the liquor store. For a brief moment, it ticked me off. I didn't want to drink but I was ticked about him being at the liquor store...I guess the roller coaster ride is part of the deal...it's better than the roller coaster ride of drinking, hangover, self-hate, repeat.

                        Thanks for letting me rant........

                          Miley, thanks for the reminder, that is one rollercoaster ride I never want to go on ever, EVER again!

                          The best advice I have fo ryour vacation, is to set up somewhat of a routine, when we went away, I would get up early and go on a long walk, or gym before the kids got up, that kept me away from AL during the evening,I also treated myself to a spa day at the end of the vacation as well and posted to the MWO when I could.
                          You'll do great I'm sure
