    DG, I have decided that iced tea fulills some of the psychological issues which underlie part of my attitude towards alcohol. FF
    FF, I actually feel a bit better knowing someone else has done this. I'm wondering if the tea isn't my way of procrastinating. That was also something that al did for me. Actually, that's a great idea what you did, I need to find something I like that is caffeine free and that I can sip on instead in the afternoon and evening.

    ps. thanks eve, that's some good info about how al affects our sleep.

    Today I am grateful that my energy has picked up and I can get a bit more done each day.

      Today I am grateful for a good night's sleep and getting up early to go play in a Folds of Honor golf tournament with friends. It's expensive, but along with breakfast and lunch and 18 holes of golf, $40 goes to help military families.

        Oh, good luck today, TMH -I hope you have fun (and do well, if possible..) in the golf tournament.

        Today my husband is playing in a Labor Day tennis mixer and I am going to swim in the Gulf...I hurt my leg in June, so have had no tennis this summer, but I can still swim, and I love it when the ocean is so warm and still. In the afternoon the tennis players are getting together for a potluck BBQ.

        DG, I think that in an odd way fixing my pot of herbal tea in the morning helps fill my need to "take care of myself" which is also something I tried to do with my daily doubles.

        Yesterday I read about Christopher Hitchens dying of esophageal cancer. This morning I am grateful that I did not give myself cancer of the esophagus by pouring gin down my throat for so many years.

        Happy Labor Day, everybody! FF

          This morning I am grateful that even though I indulged myself yesterday afternoon my face is still as white as usual this morning. Now that my liver is healed, I no longer need to chug down the milk thistle to help it process the wine, apparently.
          Happy first week of September to us all! FF

            DG, btw, I am wondering about my own procrastination devices...I don't think I use tea that way, but sometimes I know I used alcohol that way. I HAVE procrastinated dreadfully on some of my tasks here, so am dreading all the work I have to do today to pack AND tidy up the condo before leaving tomorrow...piles everywhere ... Aargh! But, I just have to say goodbye to the ocean, first, and my favorite store here...another late night looms, but at a least nowadays it won't be fueled by gin, so tomorrow will be better.

                  Like kuya and Eve11, I am grateful to MWO and the active group on our mod board.

                  Also I am grateful that I got my chores done and stuff packed (without the aid of my previous "friend" AL) so that I actually got some sleep and was ready for an early start this am. FF

                    Today I am grateful for a safe arrival, tor meeting the new grandson, for the clean and tidy house which my daughter- in-law and her mother have so generously prepared for me, and (to the really mundane) the tempurpedic ?? Pillow top mattress on our bed here! Plus, seeing our son again, and the arrival tomorrow of our youngest daughter.

                    On the AL front, I am grateful that, thanks in large part to some of the hints discovered here on MWO, I am slowly accepting more and more on a deep level the fact that alcohol is a toxic substance to the human body...and that poison is poison, no matter how I pretty it up in a fancy goblet.

                      Another AF 24 hours - gosh, even one AF day used to be unthinkable for me! I am so very, very thankful that now I frequently get to put a 0 on the Drink Tracker, as I was able to do yesterday. How very strange it is, that our poor muddled brains can make us think we cannot LIVE without alcohol, when the very opposite is true. FF

                        Today I am grateful for feeling good and strong enough to go for a brisk 5 mile walk outdoors and do some lower body floorwork. Am also grateful that I have dinner planned for both tonite and tomorrow. That's more than half the battle, IMO.

                          For the last five days, while traveling and now while eating out with family and guests, I have been grateful for the fact that dinner out permits me to have my moderate amounts of AL with no temptation/possibility of overdoing it...FF
