Maggie,

Yes, 8 oz is good or is it? If you remember we should be drinking like we normally do and the rest will follow...I am not doing that! I force myself to stop, and I am not listening to my booze brain. The nal. gives me the strength to stop, but has not stopped my booze brain from screaming for more. I fear I may backslide because of that fact. So, if you think about it my way may take even longer; however, I stop drinking because of the mere thought of me having another nal. over is greater than that obnoxious booze brain. When I said I wanted to go to the hospital I wasn't lying; I thought I was going to die!

Deena,

Good for you for stopping at one (I guess you must be 90 lbs. dripping wet ). If I had a slight nal. over I don't think I could have been that strong, for I still think the hair of the dog will help and then I would want to die the next day! I think you progress is coming along swimmingly!

P.S. Thanks for the info newlife I am in Ohio where all the drama is!

But maggie Guiness isn't just beer it's like a whole food group unto itself

ROTFLMBO !!!!! Yes I totally agree with you !!! In UK< they used to give you Guinness when you were in hospital! I went in when I was 18 for something and a friend brought me some and no-one minded me having it there - nurses or doctors !

Hugs, Maggie xx

My husband drank it every day when we were in Ireland he said it was like meal replacement. Hee hee. XOXO Newlife

Well, if beer drinkers respond the fastest and then wine drinkers and then hard liquor drinkers, what happens to those of us who drink it all?

I absolutely know what you mean about the glass, newlife. When I had my mocktail last Wednesday, I had it in a beautiful martini glass. I tend to gulp my drinks, though, and on the rocks with ice takes me a lot longer to finish. You could even put it in your pretty glass with some cubes.

Jaba, I grew up in Cincinnati. Sorry I made you drool with my weekend special drinks. I would never have saved the extra three ounces in the wine bottle either. Someday...

Oh I SO agree !!!! But then I would wouldn't I ??? LOL

Hugs, Maggie x

Waaaaa!!!! I went to London last year and never had one beer!!! I fell off the wagon with chardonney, with my shepherds pie. But I tell you, those pubs are just beautiful. Got a lot of pictures of them though.

Newlife,

I just realized that your numbers look great for last week. I feel bad for not saying something earlier. I was caught up in my own emotional baggage.

Jaba

Thanks jaba. It is in large part due to you guys and the AF wednesday. Looking forward to holding hands with Steve this week on Thursday. xoxo Newlife

Hi Newlife! It looks like you had a good week (week 26) having only 16 drinks. I know you mentioned you want to get it lower but I just wanted to tell you I think you are doing a great job and happy for you!
