Happy Sunday Janice and it's great to see you!! Wow your family trip to NY sounds exciting. I assume New York City as opposed to somewhere else in the state? I've been there on "in and out" trips for business, but never with any leisure time to take in the shows and shopping and all the GOOD stuff NY has to offer. Can I come too?????

Congratulations on reaching a point where you are able to successfully moderate. Personally, I have to be very careful not to allow myself any fantasizing about that. Can I offer a suggestion? I don't want to see you stop posting here in the Abs section just because you ARE one of the seeming few who CAN moderate successfully. But in fairness to those who need to abstain, and may be at a stage where fantasies of moderation are no good, maybe you could just not post about successful moderation in this section? It's certainly not up to me - there is a whole big group here. So I hope this suggestion is just taken with a grain of salt.

Posting seems very light this weekend and it has been for me too - this is a busy one!! Hopefully everyone is sticking to their AF guns and having a fun one. Today is in law BBQ day (we're hosting) and I'm GRATEFUL to be sober. I mentioned this in booze busters but I think it's worth saying again - normally I would already be drinking through my prep work by now. How on EARTH did I ever convince myself that I was "fooling" these no / very little drinkers that I wasn't IN THE BAG by noon when they arrived????? OH the lies we tell ourselves over AL......

Oops - Janice I also meant to say that I'm glad your Mom is doing much better!! I'm sure getting her off the booze was a big help. Continued best wishes with all that - the elder years with parents are not easy that's for sure.

Happy AF Sunday to all yet to come!!
