V thanks for the heads up, you're on the board for Friday :goodjob:

TMH, that is some great moderating, especially stopping when you just don't feel like it. We're off and running!

Been home an hour now still plan on AF but I have a friend with some family drama that I invited for dinner she said she'll let me know.... If she comes may be hard for me to risist a few beers over conversation but I will still give it a shot (no pun intended)

Good luck V.

Another AF day for me. Hey maybe at the end of the week you could do a chart, dg....with our names and days AF, or is that "too" accountable? Would it make anyone feel bad if someone had more? Just a suggestion...

It's wierd for me I love this thread when I can come on and announce an AF but I kinda dread getting on and announcing I failed at being AF.... It's not so bad when I planned on drinking but like last Tuesday when I was gunna try and get 2 AF days in a row and failed it sucked but I guess overall it's a good thing and so I keep checking in here

I feel almost exactly the same way, V...loud and clear on the AF days, sort of a whisper. (whimper?) on the non AF ones...I guess maybe it means at least some part of me sees a real value in the AF days!!! Onward and upward, or whatever the saying is... Thanks for doing it for us, DG! FF

Hi guys! Here to proudly declare that Monday was AF for me

Not sure what today will bring.....

First time ever stepdaughter bought dinner (our combined b.d. prez) so not AF for me. Don't think it's important to say how much (2), just not AF. Very much ok with it.

TMH - Nice! What did you have for dinner?

I think as modders it is a little important to say how much (or at least acknowledge it to ourselves), we all strive to drink in moderation and to me at least, I feel that means not letting ourselves get ruined by the AL, not getting wasted, not causing major behavior changes, not causing hangover results. Moderation to me does not just mean rack up as many AF days as you can...
So good job on just 2! For most of us who came here just two was NEVER an option, maybe always a plan but never a reality, so that fact that we can now make a plan and then make it a reality is Fabulous!!!

LG I've just tried to make it more like a chart but I can't get things to line up. If I use spaces it takes them out when i post it, and I've tried using dashes but it's still messed up.

For me this thread has really helped me to focus more on getting some af days in instead of just thinking it's something I'll do but not getting around to it, and I think it's great if it makes us question ourselves if we really do want to drink today or skip it, but obviously there's nothing wrong with choosing to drink either.

We went out for lunch today, so it is not an AF Tueday for me...and V, I do so agree with your remarks about moderation including more than simply AF days...I think it is great that so many of us can now make a plan and stick to it, compared to where we might have been not so long ago. FF

I agree V. Although I am happy with "just" getting in 4 or more AF days most weeks, I am also moderate when I do drink, more often than I used to be... I think I am happier with one or two days of less than moderate (or more, depending on how you look at it), than drinking moderately every day. Maybe that's backwards, lol.

AF today too (3 days this week).

Lg- you remind me that moderation means something different for all of us but the one thing we all share is the desire to be in control.....

Very good point, V. Maybe that is why I don't feel terrible when I can't mark an AF day because there have not been any way over the top days.

FF - yes, can say not long ago there was a feeling of oh, oh, is this going to be one of those nights? Man it feels good to not really even think about that anymore.

LB - hey, good job on 3 days already this week!

Met my son yesterday when he got off work. I had 1 AF beer, then a glass of wine and then dh & I had one together when I got back to apt. That finished off the 1/2 bottle we had left. Finished packing & now up by 5:30 to head to airport and home. Yay!
