modders Sun - Fri AF

Hi DG - I made up a whole list of rules yesterday and already broke it last night. I was up at club for Happy Hour. Lady next to me and I had 2 wines. She left. I should have. Instead I had given myself permission to be able to have 3 on Fridays. Had the 3rd, friends invited me to join them at their table, I just meant to sit and talk for a bit and go home. All of a sudden there was another glass of wine in front of me and lady who had invited me told waitress to put on her bill. Odd thing was she ordered a small plate of food for me too. Food = good idea. Wine = not.

I felt so very, very guilty this a.m. and, of course, a bit hungover. After awhile I quit beating myself up saying ok, you went 1 over your limit. You tried but you know even after 2 your defenses are down.

So this is a great idea. Thanks for thinking of it and putting it out there. My commitment starts today. Sat, Sun, Mon, Tue, Wed, Thur. 6 days.

I want to join! As stressful as things are right now, I still want to strive for AF days. Commitment to at least 4 days AF this week, starting tomorrow.

Hi guys!

I would like to sign on, too...my downfall always was drinking at home, so what works best for me is still no booze at home...but I like to have the flexibility to indulge when we go out. So, rather than limit myself to specific days, like LG I will aim for several AF days during the coming week, hopefully a few more than I have managed during the first half of the month!
Good for all of us for continuing to monitor our consumption...calorie-counting certainly makes the whole business harder,,,,sigh. FF

modders Sun - Fri AF

oh this is great! we can do this ladies!

TMH, I went over my limit too on Fri, I'm still kicking myself that it happened, but I'm going to just set it aside and do better from today

LG, don't let BF derail you this week, this is for YOU, come here and shout, yell, complain whatever it takes instead of drinking ok?

FF, I'm so glad you're in, I honestly don't know how you manage the strength not to drink at home but it always amazes me that you can do that. Here's to as many af days as possible this week for you

TMH I hope your af night went well, let us know how things went in the morning!

DG - it's that nonfunctional "off switch", don't you think? We can move beyond it and do better.

LG - I am amazed with what you put up with. Older gkds had an xbox here at condo in FL; we removed after younger gkds couldn't get along while playing it. Hope you can get that ironed out.

FF - am so glad that not drinking at home works for you. Takes strength. I'm sure, for me, I'd tend to want to constantly go out. Then again, going AF does the opposite. Don't really care to go out, it's like why bother. Although I have proven that I can go out even to our Happy Hours, not drink and have fun so I need to get that out of my mind. Glad you've joined us!

My AF night went fantastic! Between mind made up to be AF and having Seredyn to calm me, I slept wonderfully! Do I want to repeat this? Oh, yeah!!

Fantastic work TMH! you've got the ball rolling for us. I feel lousy today so I'm really looking forward to bed tonight and getting a really good night's sleep, you make it sound even better now :goodjob: on last night

Here's to a super modder sober sunday everyone

[drinkingal]

modders Sun - Fri AF

hi modders, well Sunday went well and was totally af for me, I wasn't even tempted. I got a good night's sleep, woke up during the night but got back to sleep straight away, and I feel so much better for it today. How did Sunday go for everyone?

I drank yesterday but I am down to shoot for Mon-Thur......

[ToMyHealth]

modders Sun - Fri AF

Good job DG! Proud of you. Me? Not so much.

V - I drank also, only 1.5 but that's not AF. Lots of chatter, should I, shouldn't I? Nervous about trip today, yada yada. If I had poured the AF beer, I'm 95% certain I wouldn't have caved.

Off to airport within the hour. Should be able to c/i part of the week.

Just popping in quickly, but great to see you join us vliven! keep checkin in and let us know how it's going.

TMH, gosh I know that scenario so well, I shouldn't, maybe I should, and then sometimes it's just easier to get it over with. I didn't know you were planning a trip, but 1.5 is pretty darn good girlie, I don't think I've ever stopped at that.

modders Sun - Fri AF

Safe travels, TMH!

I was sorely tempted yesterday evening, possibly due to minor sadness at departures of daughter and grandson, but managed to resist temptation, thank goodness.

Feelings have SO much to do with our behavior...and it can be so annoying to try to do emotional "work" in order to really feel better, when it sure seems like "likker is quicker!".

Good luck to us all! FF

Hope everyone had a good day! It's only 3:30 here but I have no desire to drink and think this will be an easy AF evening for me (knock on wood) plus hubby has band practice and it's always easy for me to go AF when he is not around having a beer.....

[FarfallaP]

modders Sun - Fri AF

V, it does make it so much easier to not drink AL when no one else is, either...and for some reason, with my husband, it's as if, if he gets to have one. (booze, ice cream, etc.) then I deserve one, too! I am so grateful that he gave up his daily beer at home after my liver scare...usually he had his at a different time, as he did not usually share my daily 5 pm on "cocktail hour" but even so, my "I deserve a drink too" would kick in, anyway...for some reason, iced tea helps me....good luck tonite!

Hello Ladies. Gentlemen don't be shy. I am AF since Sat. No cravings today and things are better at home.

Thanks for starting this thread dg!
