Welcome 1967. Yep, those 1st days are terrible. Don't want to do that again. Shall we both commit to party AF? Happy 4th to all in USA and have a great Friday to all others. So thankful, hope it cools down son. Still sending rain wishes to gelgit.

Took 2 days to get AL from fall on Tues out of system but feel good again today. Since 5/28, I have had 35 days AF, 1 day moderate and 1 day way to much. So I'm still feeling good despite slip. AL did not get me DG. My emotions and thinking got me. Must learn more mature ways of handling them. Alas, Pamina, only the last 2 glasses was really good wine. The first 4 were from a cheap bottle my husband had opened 8 days before. In fact, the first few sips tasted terrible and I actually thought 2 times to just throw it out. It was like when I smoke after not smoking for a while - tastes terrible at 1st. (In fact the beginning of the downfall was actually an intense desire to smoke, which I resisted, not to drink). So of course my mind decided it would be a good idea to drink a bit more to see if maybe I really didn't even like wine anymore! Geeze. Anyway, today I'm taking 2 AF beers to the party (not generally much of a beer drinker but in summer when hot it tastes good and the good AF beers taste better to me than bad AL beer!). I think your observations that others are really not paying attention to us NOT drinking is true DG. They are much more likely to pay attention if I overdrink, that's for sure.

Congrats on 9 days teardrop.

I like the word stroppy too. Have a stroppy day all!

HI Sheep! We cross posted. Have a great AF 4th so we can both be on day 4 tomorrow! Yep, generally start and end my day here too, even if I don't post.
