Hello all,

Can not believe that Thursday's thread is not started yet.

Gorgeous sunny day in the SW today. Woke at 4 read two papers, road the bike and had a huge breakfast all before 6.

I hope you all have a very lovely day.

Hugs and Love,
Mary

Paula dear, in the upper left hand corner where it says post reply, when you are in a section like general discussion that you want to write in, it says start thread.
I am just hoping BB and Beaches are doing well. Usually they have started one long before I have a chance to get on the site.

Have a good one too! xo Mary

Yes Beaches, where are you this morning?

Mary, wow! What a productive morning you have had. Sounds wonderful.

Busy with end of the school year stuff in our house. Cannot believe how fast this year has gone. My daughter and I made a list the other night of all the things we plan to do this summer, including lots of exercise. Need to get into a whole different routine.

So many of you to respond to, but I just do not have the time this morning! You know I think the world of you and hope you all are doing well. Have a great day!!

Hello, Happy Thursday. Wasn't feeling well yesterday so AF was easy...feel fine today though, don't know what it was! Tonight will be another AF day and then I will mod on Friday. Anyone have any big weekend plans?

Hi gitawine..like you doing the ~AF weekdays thing(including friday nights..that was always a tempting night for me)for last 3 weeks no alcohol at home weekdays and only when out on saturdays or sundays or both !!

i need to keep this pattern going until its wekll entrenched..then maybe i can look a little closer at my saurday and sunday moderation and decide what next!!

meal out with family saturday.so looking forward to that(planning ahead ..3 wines and a jug of water followed by coffee)for my self respect i have to stick with plan.

No more home drinking for me..if i am going to over indulge then i need to do that socially(no hiding away at home, no more pretence, no more drinking with hubby at home)..the good news is hubby doesnt want to drink at home on his own now either so he hasnt bothered for the last 3 weeks!!!!must be catching.

he too has decided a few beers when out for a meal or he has a couple after a badminton match weekly..........we havent got any bottles for recycling either!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

good luck and have a fun weekend.

Mornin Mods land.
Mary, Paula, Betty, Sammys, Gita and Lushy!
Good to hear from all of you. I just felt the need to touch base with all you wonderful people!
Its record breaking hot and dry in Bama. The only thing alive is on drip tape.
Had dinner with my daughter and two grandsons and DIL and my hubby last night. I was reminded by my daughter's husband's attitude at dinner why drinking is not always a good idea even if or maybe when you have a stressful day,week....
Her boys are home for just a few days and their stepfather couldn't say anything nice(or even decent) to them.... He came in from work and hit the crown and gingerale hard...probably 2 before dinner....
Who was it that used to say "drunk is ugly"? You know sometimes life just sucks......but we don't have to take it out on family and friends.

Hi Cassy!

Same here Cassy - had one glass of red on Sunday after 42 days AF. Must admit I was a bit worried whether it would set me off wanting it this week but I've been okay. Like you, I've set myself a few rules now - no more drinking Monday - Friday, no drinking alone, no drinking early in the day - my hubby likes a glass about 5pm but he can stop after his 2nd glass and is not bothered for the rest of the night whereas I just used to keep going, so the later I have my first glass the better - no white wine (my downfall!) just red, and no more than 2 glasses. Think thats it!! Quite a bit of alcohol in the house so its been a good test for me. Good luck everyone! Janice

heya Mod-a-roos! quick work check-in here. Had a nice sushi dinner last night with Dx and friends and managed to have only ONE sapporo beer. actually it was easy for some reason. Still don't wan't to get cocky about it but it's nice that it didn't make me want to continue. Then it was off to the mall to Starbucks! I've got to stop drinking coffee so late in the day!
Mary you are obviously a morning person!
Be well everyone

Happy Thursday Everyone!
This is my last day at work this week so you probably won't here from me until next week. I am taking a bit of a vacation. YEEHAW!!! Friday and Saturday are just for myself..time in the garden, run some errands, genarally getting things done. Sunday and Monday we are taking a trip and then Tuesday is also a day off to unwind (which means catch up on laundry!) before work again. I love time off!!!! Love to all and I hope you have a great weekend. Here's to successful MODing! (Raising a glass of OJ in the air right now.)

How wonderful to hear everyone is doing so fabulous!

I can continue with the positives....I have been AF for past 2 days and plan on continuing until dinner out on Sat night. I did a 4 mile run/walk yesterday after work. After that I went to the grocerystore with my daughter (she will be 4 this summer). When we got to the wine aisle she said, "Mommy don't you want wine?" It left me with a bad feeling so I said "no , not today". So, no Pinot Grigio is even in the house.

Have a great one everyone!!
