Thank you Doglvr!!

Wild Rose, I think you are wise to shoot for 30 days AF before you decide. If 30 days without alcohol seems really difficult, you might decide doing without would be better. On the other hand if the 30 days seems reasonable, then working on moderation makes sense. There is a high % of people here that are truthfully too far down the dependency path to be able to moderate successfully. I'm one of them - I just can't stop at one or two. OR - to MAKE myself stop at 1 or 2 is such a battle that it's not worth the fight and aggravation. There ARE several successful moderaters here. While you are whooping it up with us here in Booze Busters for your first 30 days, you might want to reach out to those who have successfully moderated for a year or more to see how they've done it. (Jude is one...I know there are others)

I can't believe this day has FLOWN by so fast. Still have lots I want to accomplish so I'm gonna dash. One thing is for sure - AL has no place in my day!!!! Best wishes to all for a great AF rest of the day. I hope more booze busters come out of hiding tomorrow.

Day 89 AFHF
