TGIF

Good morning everyone...... Thursday was another AF day for me.... 5 in a row and feeling great!

Tonight hubby and I have and appointment downtown at a gallery to view one of friends art that is on display and then we are going to dinner followed by a stop on the way home at friends birthday BBQ... I plan on drinking but keeping it to a minimum....

Hope everyone else is well...... Any fun weekend plans?

Props to you too LG on Bowling a Turkey I should use golf terms with you now I guess Props to you for coming in 2 under on a par 5 ? LOL I'm in a goofy good mood this morning... Had great work out, looking forward to tonight and one of my guys brought in a a prop pair of glasses with a mustache attached and I put them on and took a funny pic......

LG- Glad to hear you are visiting Mom, good start to your weekend and also very happy to hear of all these golf outings with you and BF instead of TW Golf arguments (yes, i mean it, even though I admittedly found those very entertaining)

Morning all,

Learned a lesson about triggers last night. I know what they are, they are coffee and boredom.

Anyway, had a bunch of c

Coffee on the a.m., because I had a busy day... Went out after work sort of in the mindset to have a few. Ended up out with some guy friends who spent the evening playing pool. I HATE pool. I wanted to hang out and have conversation.

Long story short, I feel icky this morning. I don't feel guilty, but I do feel kind of stupid. Realized I would have had more fun last night if I had stopped and/or gone home... This morning I'm remembering how much better AF or moderation feels!

Planning on an AF day, after a little more sleep!

Hi Bondgirl, I'm someone who is very sensitive to stimulants including caffeine. I can't even drink coffee anymore because it just sends me over the edge, and once I get all hyped up like that during the day, alcohol starts looking like a good option to relax. I have to really watch it with caffeine. Boredom is another of my triggers, sometimes drinking has just been something to do in an evening, so I know exactly what you are saying. I think recognizing our triggers are really important so that we can either avoid them, or deal with them when they crop up.

I think it would be 2 OVER par, as I didn't make par, lol. Admittedly, I'm not the golfer, but I have learned quite a bit about it.

Hi Everyone,

Have been MIA due to family obligations...and now slowly getting back to normal. Thursday was an evening out to dinner, so not an AF day for me, but both Friday and Saturday have been AF. I concur with the thought expressed by LG...many of us have come a long way, good for us! FFP

thanks LG , even just a couple of months ago I couldn't imagine *gasp* not drinking on a saturday! I just love how much progress we see here at this board and the support we give each other too!

Yes it's wonderful, and life changing. I have to report that I had two beers when we stopped to visit a friend yesterday afternoon (my ex hub!). We were home before 7 pm and I had every intention of drinking some wine last night. I poured a glass and it just wasn't appealing, so I poured it back into the bottle and drank non-AL all night. Yay me.

:applaud: Yay to you too LG.

I had an interesting night of no AL on Saturday. That's a big one for me as week-ends usually include drinking 2 drinks, sometimes 3 each night. Went to a play that was 3 hours! It was very dark, depressing, and not any redeeming message. Our plans had been an appetizer and glass of wine afterwards but the play ended late so we said, let's just go home and have a cup of non-caf hot tea.

So often, I would build up that fantasy in my head of "It's Saturday night so I need a drink!" Now it was easy to say, I'll sleep better and feel better if I don't. And it will be nice to report AF for a Saturday for me.

:thanks: for the support friends, you make modding easier and easier.

LG, that's fantastic :goodjob: I only hope I can get into that mindset one day, I'm still trying to get my off switch working properly damnit

Hi eve, gosh that sounds like 3 hours of your life you wish you could get back great job on not drinking though and just going home instead

LG and Eve, great job, there's nothing wrong with having a few beers, just as much there's nothing wrong with having....none...Saturday does not have to equal AL, it didn't for me this past Saturday...Sunday Football...ok, I think a few beers is okay...my trick, go out later than earlier.... ever see the tailgaters at a game (I'm not going to any games today, live) and its the late game...it's kind of scary...some have been there since 9am and drinking non-stop until the 4:15 start! As one of my former Senior Partners told his kids, when they were younger, when they went to their first game, which I think was a Giants game, "Now X, you're are probably going to see some adults acting very bad...."

Anyway.... everyyone have a good week and rest of this weekend...(actually isn't Sunday, actually, really the start of the new week?)
