Newlife - I LOVED your post but was at work so could not respond. I so agree with you on so many things - and you said it all much more eloquently than I could ! I also identify with so much too ..... the constant thinking about AL - I wonder when THAT is going to go away! yes, AF days are much easier than they used to be - I had planned on having one today but we are closing on our other house today so am thinking I should have a drink to celebrate that - (why????) so have not taken my AB.

I hope that you have a lovely holiday - will you be able to post? They do have Wi-Fi in Ireland (tee hee hee).....

Hugs to you,

Maggie x

Have you thought at all about *why* you drank more than you wanted? What you could have done to not have or stall another drink at the time?

Maggie - thank you my dear for always reading and responding and caring. You are an angel. Yes, I know they have WiFi in Ireland, and yes I will try to post. Definitely will track and report either way because I want to see what the new environment brings me.

Jackson - I have thought about why, and my best answer so far is "HABIT" and, because my reptilian brain still thinks that drinking is SO MUCH FUN, at least WHILE I am doing it, not later. Must SLOW DOWN.

XOXO to all, Newlife

I know MY answer to that Jackson ..... because that is what my brain still thinks it needs to do !! I suppose I do not stop and think between drinks - maybe I need to start doing that - I just go and get the next one .....

Hugs, Maggie

LOL Newlife - I was being facetious when I said about them having Wi-Fi in Ireland - I remember many years ago when I moved from the back of beyond to London and a Londoner asked me if we had disco's down where I came from (back in the day) and I told them in dead seriousness that yes we did, AND electricity AND indoor plumbing ! So the quip about Ireland having Wi-Fi was said very much tongue-in-cheek!!

And I posted my reply above before I saw yours - we answered very similarly !!

Have a great holiday !! Hugs, Maggie x

Thanks Maggie, LOL!!

And Thanks for your applause too, Plantpro.

Newlife

have a great trip newlife! you'll be thinking of your daughter, and believe me that will help. I really miss doing stuff with my daughter now that she lives on the other side of the country. you'll track, report, be good, and all that....we're with you!

Good work, New

Good work

Eventually it won't be work, it'll be your new normal!

For me it's a little freaky leaving my comfort zone. I have to consciously try to convert fear to "excitement". Good luck, girl.

Thank you, guano, zontar and steven!! And all of your numbers look so good!! Nal on!! Newlife
