    Check In Time

    Ok, Ask--I'm starting a check in thread--you'll soon find out I suck at this! How about a continuation of Ripley's thread from yesterday?

    What are YOUR moderation goals?

    I guess I haven't really set any definite goals. Commitment here seems to be an issue.
    So, here goes:
    No drinking alone for sure!
    No drinking at home for "awhile"
    Limit of 4 beers this weekend
    Remember to drink water between beers!

    So far, I have cut my beer consumption down from probably a 30 pack per week to maybe 10 beers a week. (a couple on Wednesdays, and too many on Saturdays)

    Okay, who's going to start the thread tomorrow???

    Hey Mimi - and modders to come:

    Good goals! What is that little guy doing at the bottom of your signature, not smoking?

    My goal for today: AF, although it is my afternoon off so I could have some wine. . BUT I'm really trying to lose weight . . . and am going to yoga class tonight . . . so I guess YES, its AF. Somedays it's hard to make a solid commitment until until after the 5 - 7 PM witching hour.

    Talked to my counselor today about my chafing at my own rule about 'no wine at home"; have tried it once or twice lately, and have been able to moderate (stop at two glasse). Her first response was "you could throw the rule out" . . . (just to be provocative, I think) but to remind my this whole mods idea is my decision, and I can go back to drinking the way I was. Question is: do I want this "new life I have" ANSWER = resounding YES. After some discussion I decided still it's a good rule for me: I need to be more social because I was getting too isolated at home w/ a 13 y/o daughter who can be critical of my every breath (literally).

    So for now, no drinking at home . . . if I want of glass of wine, I need to make the effort to go out. Longer term strategy may be to have someone at home to have a glass of wine with . . . ah dating, now there's a scary thought.

    Hope everyone is having a successful day. Check in if you can!

      Hi Modsters, :welcome:
      Just had 2 molars pulled this morning...so I'm kicking back a bit this afternoon.
      Kinda feeling like a long day already, (the 74 mile drive didn't help either... although it was really pretty..just stormy, typical, coastal thing...)

      Hope everybody's havin' a good day.

      Think I might try some chix broth in a bit if my mouth ever quits bleeding...
      The only thing worth stealing is a kiss...:flower: zwink:
