Mary you sound like it was a good trip but it's good to be home. I can understand the pain of time zone adjustment - I had a really hard time with that when I used to travel a lot on business. Even an hour difference bothered me - I have no clue how people that have to travel a lot globally do it! Best wishes for your dinner party on Saturday. I'm sure it will be lovely, and I KNOW you will do well not drinking wine even though you plan to serve it. I tried my first AF wine last night. It was the Fre White Zin. As others here had mentioned, I found it WAY too sweet by itself. But I did enjoy about 1/2 and 1/2 with club soda, and a little crushed ice. I lemon slice would probably be good in there too. Just throwin' that out there! That is something I'm sure I'll do if I ever have wine drinkers at the house.
Cindi, I think I filled my lifetime beer quotient by college graduation, because I totally lost my taste for beer after that. It only tasted good to me in certain situations on a VERY hot day. For whatever reason, I did like the AF beer last Saturday even though the thought of a real beer was
. (a good thing!) I'll have to try it with a lemon or lime next time!! I stayed away from the AF beer / wine thing for a long time, but I can see now that it's sorta nice to feel "grown up" even without the AL, if that makes any sense. Not that I worry what others think - LOL I'm WAY WAY too selfish for that!
Dad is doing better - posted more about that in Booze Busters. It was very nice to spend time with him and Mom yesterday afternoon with Dad being "all there" and able to communicate. He was in a good mood (maybe a little help from something in the IV bag??) and we laughed and had a nice time. We made a memory.
Today is Day 50 AFHF and Day 500 Nicotine free. I just think that's strange and fun that the numbers worked out like that. Tomorrow will be one year since my first MWO AF day. I wish I had done things differently, but progress has been made too.
Happy AFHF Thursday to all who are yet to come.
