Let's go on a... 4 Day AF Binge!

Good morning Rag, WF, Rodeo, Photo, Chopp, Finally and all I did not list and all to come!
Cranberry juice in a wine glass was awesome!! It is not as disgusting as it sounds. I might get hooked!
It is almost 4 AM here, I have not slept at all yet!
I just opened my 3rd beer, to help me sleep. It is not helping, so I might dump it soon. I had 2 beers so far, it is Thursday 4 A.M., so am I on Day 1 again? Or Day Zero or what? :upset: I DID LET YOU DOWN AGAIN?

I am wishing you all a happy AF Thursday!
HANG IN THERE MY FRIENDS!
With XoXos

Oh darling Mama z!

You've not let us down or yourself - so don't beat yourself up for a start!

If it makes you feel any better - I got to 9.00 pm UK time on cranberry juice in a wine glass feeling rather good about myself :wings: and then hubbie comes home from work having had a sh*t of a day, the budge being announced here in the UK (I don't usually do politics (like religion or sex in public!!!) but we're totally up sh*t creek without a paddle here in the UK!) so he fancied a glass of wine ........ oh oh ... I was doing so well ........ well - we had 3/4 of a bottle of red wine opened .... we had 2 glasses each. Now, in DGB (days gone by), that would have been for starters and actually that was well and truly enough and if he'd have phoned me en route home, I'd have thought "ready, steady, go" and have started with the good old vodka for starters ..... so actually, even though I had 2 glasses of red - for me I'm NOT beating myself up .... yes, I've had 2 glasses of wine, yes, I didn't go AL free but I didn't go :nutso:

So, Mama Z darling, you've only had 2, dump the rest - make some hot milk, dunk a bikki in it and get some sleep my dear!!!!!! And, DON'T GIVE YOURSELF A HARD TIME! Tomorrow is another day. Look forward not back otherwise you'll always trip over yourself and where would you be that happened all the time? Face down, that's where! :H

Night night!!!! sweet dreams!:l

mamaZ: All we can do is keeping trying, we aren't failing until we give up. Photogirl is right, at least you didn't go overboard. Photogirl, that sounded so like me when you said you would have started ahead, if he was going to have a drink after work, I would have 2 (or more) before he got home to get started. What a battle this is. Oh well, lets all keeping trying.
WF, Rodeo, Chopp, Finally, Savon, how are you doing today?

Hey MamaZ and Photo....doing ok over here. In the same boat, I had 4 beers last night after 3 days AF. But no I'm not beating myself either, because I STOPPED at 4 beers and didn't get sh*tfaced!! So though I said I was going to be AF yesterday and didn't follow through (that's the only thing I feel bad about)....I think I did ok.

Hello again fellow af (or maybe not!) but fellow friends!

well, firstly, mamma z - what the heck time zone are you on darling?!?!? you're up when I'm up, your children are going to school when I'm just going to pick mine up and you're going to bed when I'm getting their tea ?!?! I'm SOOOO confused :nutso: Have you kept some of your native timezone in your blood with you just so you don't feel homesick?!?:H

Rodeorose - you're so right, it's the fact that you stopped - like the others of us who didn't make the day 3 - that makes the real difference - and that's why you shouldn't beat yourself up - :goodjob:

It is a battle - more so for some than others - and I only wish sometimes that I had the willpower of some of my friends - the ones that I just love, who are great fun but who just KNOW that after 2 or 3 drinks (no, not bottles :shocked they've well and truly had enough and that little word which is just SO easy to say (starts with N and ends in O) - come on girls, we all know it ...... just comes out of their mouths .......

Now, willpower is something I just don't have (my dictionary didn't have the "W" section - I think I had the "cheap" version!) so - wine, chocolate - anything that's bad for me - you know the type of thing ...... but, hey, I'm learning and today even if I start with my cranberry juice again until 9.00 pm (it's a-chilling in the fridge and the wine glass is there ready and waiting on the side!) and if hubbie comes in and says he fancies a glass of wine - then if I have a glass later then so be it.

What I'm trying to say (AGAIN, I KNOW, in a long winded way ... ) I think what the TOPA has helped me with and certainly the MWO site - is the chomping at the bit.

:fingers: for an AF Thursday for us all!
:lxxxxxx

I have enough cranberry juice for one glass and I am going to have that tonight!! Ok I say that now, but will I stick to it after working all day, grocery shopping after work and coming home? Hmmm, I'm not sure that I can 100% say that anymore....but by george (it's St. George's Day somewhere?) I'm going to try!

Good Morning All! I am sorry I missed the toast last night. I was at my nephew's baseball game. I did a cheers in my heart with my water bottle. Is that ok?

Mama and Rodeo, don't beat yourself up at having a drink. Three days AF is better than no AF. Guess what, you both moderated very well!!! :goodjob:

Hi Photo, you did fabulous with wine! :goodjob: You are doing awesome!

Hi ragdoll! How are you doing? I am grumpy today, but hopefully will get over it. Today is my day 5!

Finally, how was your ice tea? I love tea!!!

Here's to another day AF! If I missed anyone, hello to you and have a great day!
