Considering everything going on in your life, you are doing amazingly well! Consumption decreasing and an AF day! I'm looking forward to that day.
Best wishes,

glad you'e doing well in a stressful situation Maggie & that your Mum is on the mend - Noro can be quite nasty for the elderly

it sounds like the Nal is sneaking up on you & working its magic

keep up the good work!

Thanks Tweed and Badger - yes the Nal is definitely working - I would never have imagined me only having two Guinness, especially away from home, on my own ..... but although I did consider a third last night, I really didn't want it - and it is getting much easier to just not have it - as we all say, it is slow but something is really working ! I am still really enjoying that first one though !! LOL

Mum is coming home today ..... I am so happy for her.

Hugs, Sun x

Looking Great Maggie! So glad your mom is on the mend - that has got to be a relief - and look at the progress you made during a stressful time - consumption down and an AF day - YEA! I am inspired and hope to be where you are soon - keep it up and have a great Sunday! Ready

Thanks Readynow - yes, this week is going okay but not as well as last week - plus I travel back to USA Wednesday so things are all going to be pear-shaped. I only have one Guinness left and leave tomorrow so will not buy another four pack - so today's is definitely only one !!! That would never have happened pre Nal - I would have bought the 4 pack and so had 5 !!

Mum is doing okay - I am a bit bothered about leaving her alone but have a panic button being set up, a cleaner sorted, and an Occupational therapist set up to come and visit so there isn't much more I can do. She seems to be managing and obviously is a tad wobbly but that will improve.

Hugs, Maggie x

I'm so happy to hear your mom is doing better! Also I LOVE your recent week numbers! You are almost at half and that is amazing! Being in the 20's per week is a huge accomplishment!

Okay - am back home and sort of over my jet lag! My suitcase came after me which was a pain but at least it turned up eventually !

The AL this week is down from last week and a couple of times I didn't really want it - but then decide to have it anyway. I need to start watching that feeling and try to follow through and not have it ! I can definitely feel a difference with the Nal which feels so good ! I have sent the book to my brother in UK but I do not think he will take Nal - although once he sees my progress he might think about it. he stops periodically but is a real white knuckler when he does and finds it so hard!

Have a great weekend everyone,

hugs, Maggie x

Hi Maggie -
Glad your suitcase turned up - lost luggage stinks - Sounds like another good week - YEA! where did your consumption end up? I dont see it in your signature. My last day for week 3 is today and as of now I am down from last week - so I am happy - I also want to listen to that voice telling me I don't want the alcohol - I really would like an AF day - it has been so long - Hope you have a great Sunday and keep posting! Ready

Hi Ready - I didn't post it yet because I usually do it on a Sunday - and I might not end up drinking what I think I will drink ....if you follow so will wait but either way it is down again YEAH !!! So happy that you too are down again .... isn't it great???

hugs, Maggie x

Well done! I love to see the progress,
Best wishes,
Tweed
