BOOZE BUSTERS 30 Day Challenge - Week of 8/1

Hi Everyone: I'm back from my grandson's b-day party. I had a wonderful time. I find that if I walk into a party w/a bottle of AF beverage, it's much easier to watch others pour their drinks. Once I get past the initial hellos & what'll-you-have-to-drink stage, I'm fine. I was able to participate in activities, enjoy food, & have meaningful conversations w/folks I haven't seen for a while. It was great.

We left when the second half of the party was just getting started. The second half is the part of the party where the drinking gets cranked up. I really don't need to be talking to a person who isn't making much sense.

This is the 4th or 5th party I've gone to this summer in which others were drinking (not everyone), but I've stayed sober. I'm getting used to it. Thank you all so much for helping to make that possible. Mary

New Thread Sounds Good

DG,

Youre idea of a new thread is a good one. I think it in and of itself encourages more people to jump on the Booze Buster 30 day wagon.

It does'nt feel like your late that way. Do you know what I mean? It is going to be someones AF Day One tomorrow, might as well welcome them with our new thread.:welcome:

A new week awaits us all: good luck AF--Arial, Chief, Pinkie, Satorie, DG, Retteacher, FMF, Hannah, Lilac, and Music Man come on back you helped get this great thing started.

July

Last Post on Old Thread?

My computer is already saying that the last post was "yesterday" - even tho my time zone it's not - but whatever - if you miss me here you'll see me on the new thread beginning tomorrow (today?).

Arial - Glad to hear you are keeping it together, you sure have a good perspective on things, I always enjoy reading your posts. Sounds like the bike ride was the best thing for you to clear your mind and refresh yourself. Continuing to keep you (and your family) in my thoughts and prayers :l .

DG - Sorry you had a rough day, hope tomorrow is really superduper to make up for it. And :kudos: to you for hanging in there and racking up another AF day, 30 +3, going on +4 Awesome!

Mary - so glad things went well at the party. Good on you for bringing your own AF drinks. I'll have to remember that strategy!

July - Congrats on 17 days AF - On to 18!!!

Hi to FMF, Pinkie, Chief (congrats on day 2!)

Talked to my sister today, I am amazed at how Guerrino is hanging in there. Everyday I expect it to be "the day", but he is still with us, although now so weak he finds it too difficult to even sit upright, and must lay down. I am so glad he is able to be at home, tho, and not in the hospital. If I should happen to "disappear" you'll know what happened - and if I miss my own 30 day AF celebration, well then I'll just enjoy reading the posts when I get home.

Nighty night all, have a good AF day again tomorrow (today?)!!!!!:heart:
