May 1 AF - May AFers

Hi everyone

I was very glad to wake up and find that this isn't my own little 30 day AF thread - was feeling a little lonesome there for a while!

In a bit of a rush so I don't have time to respond properly - slept very badly without my 'sleep juice'. But who cares, I got to put a big fat zero in the drink tracker this morning

WW thanks for the encouragement but I feel compelled to say that it was my first AF day in 15 months, not years - so perhaps not such a big achievement, but for me still glorious:danthin:

Hope to check in properly later on today

How did everyone do last night? I made it through! I also have a hypoglycemia problem and looking back on my drinking habits it seems that frequently I would get home from work quite tired and open a bottle of wine and feel much better after a few sips. So I am now following Wasted's example and trying to have some juice when I get home .....I add a bit of seltzer.

I think but don't know that wine has more sugar than beer ..... does anyone know if this is true.

Hey Booklvr,

I don't know if it does or not. I guess I just assumed that wine did because of the way it was made or what it was made from or something???

Just as a side note, my mother was a registered dietician and she told me that a lot of people who don't drink alcohol are candy/chocolate addicts. I think she read a study somewhere. But if you think of some of the people you work with or know otherwise, the people I knew didn't drink AL always had candy or soda-pop or chocolate with them. I would sure like to have more information on the link between hypoglycemia and alcohol consumption. I've never been much of a sweet eater - probably b/c I got my sugar from AL.

BTW, I started a new thread for May 2 May AFers - I didn't know if we should continue this thread or start a new one every day. What do you all think?

Hope everyone had a good Thurs!

Hi. I don't look at this site much, but this is my second day not drinking. I usually drink between 1-4 drinks per night. I could hardly get out of bed this morning, and yesterday morning too. I wonder if that is why. My goal isn't total abstinance, but I am on for May!!!
I also realized last nite that I have been so scared for so long, about being a single mom and all. It occured to me to see if there's any reasonable yoga classes, something to make me less fear-based.
It's just interesting to me the thoughts that alcohol masks, for me.
Anyway, I am on for May!!!
Good luck everyone, and good luck me!!
Thanks,
Lila

Hey blonde chick!

I believe I can get through today. Sat afternoon, I feel kind of confident about. Oh, but Sunday - usually my husband works in the yard all morning and me in the house and then at 2 or so the drinking starts until ... well, until the booze or the evening runs out. I may not be able to check in on Sunday b/c the family will be home but will try to check in Sat and Mon. Still using my medication to not drink...until Mon when I don't take it anymore. Also check out may 2 Afers - or do you think we should just stay on this thread. I don't know which is easier. Ya'll let me know, k?

I'm confused about which May I've been posting in. I'd do both, but I must be getting better as I'm antsy to get outside and start moving!! Good day to all. g. xxx
