I don't want to be totally AF......,

[blue1]

I'm going to Olive Garden this evening to help my little sister celebrate her 2 year sobriety birthday!!!

So I know I won't be drinking until tonight....which means I'll drink less.

This will be interesting not drinking in a restaurant that serves AL. My sister says it's cool if we want to drink...,but I would never do that! This is her celebration not mine!
I'm going to eat good tho....lol

Have a successful day guys!!!

Never been to an O live Garden? I find that hard to believe. I love it there!

Well...I didn't drink at the restaurant....it wasn't weird at all. I just drank my lemon water....got stuffed on endless salad and breadsticks. I only nibbled my sampler tray. Which was fried calamari...clam stuffed mushrooms and fried zucchini.

I had two beers and a couple sips of brandy and called it a night.

TMH- hope you are having fun on your golfing trip.

Will check in later.

Have a successful day!

Hey blue, as promised I'm popping in. Seems like this May pan out for you.
How was the Olive Garden? Is your sister feeling better?

I'm glad to see more activity here. It was dead for awhile. We had a great group here, I hope they come back. I was always doing better when we were all active and posting.

As for me, I've actually been doing really well. I definitely would like some AF days as well. I don't drink everyday, far from it, but when I do, lately, I've been going past my 2-3 beer limit; nothing to be totally concerned about, but I started losing weight again and this is more of a health thing for me. First, I am already in good shape, but between work and grad school your health choices are compromises at times, which actually isn't so bad sometimes when hanging with your cohorts.

I survived a trip to Ireland - yes, it is hard to NOT drink there, so I didn't try, but I did have two AF days.

I was victim of a corporate cou de tat which resulted in me being downsized, but I got a much better position rather quickly.

My running times have been slow! I'd like to get that up. I think I need to get some strength back.

I can't really complain, but there's always room to be better.

Oh, it looks like I have another girlfriend now. I shouldn't complain, she's actually a really great girl.

speak to you all soon! I am in school right now actually.

Oh, I did get over the fact I turned 40....finally.

Am thinking of starting string of AF days today. Was going to wait until Monday, when back at home, but am kind of sick of it. No hangovers, just daily drinking on trip has gotten old. We'll see. Attending dh class reunion type party today so won't know anybody. Dh big talker, & i'll be bored to death. Would be a good test, wouldn't it?

Hi Frances! And yes, remember you, -143. Hi Stewarts, nice to hear you've accepted 40. It's just a number.

Hope everyone has a good mod weekend!
