Today I was walking w/ the dogs and DH, and discussing errands I'd planned, including the liquor store, and glass recycling. DH said, "say, aren't you drinking less beer these days???" I acknowledged, and he murmured something positive. :) This from Mr. Oblivious! I really like that he has not been a factor - good OR bad - in my TSM journey. On the other hand, I'm pleased he has noticed at this point. Club Soda, wooHOO!

Both my mom and my husband stated that they noticed that I have slowed down with my drinking. Doesn't it make you feel good? Gives you hope. Keep on going...you are doing great. You go girl!

Good news Chrissie about your DH noticing and actually saying something. If he's anything like my DH it's really huge that he actually mentioned it. Mostly they keep things to themselves - frustrating when we're so full of "communication" :lol:

Thanks for your support and coming over to my weekly ramblings.

That's great news! So I'm curious: now that he's noticed, do you have any plans to tell him about TSM?

Naw...when I reach my goal destination w/ TSM, then we'll talk :) . I don't want to create any external expectations at this point, but his comment was an unexpected pleasure.

What about you, are you still incognito? Is that working okay for you?

Hi Chrissie - I was just looking at your AF numbers - what a great steady increase for you!! I'm inspired! But not enough to actually HAVE an AF day :lol: But I'll get there. Have a great day.

I kind've wish I took a more incognito approach to TSM, to avoid any "external expectations" - like you say. Have you anticipated the reaction from your husband when/if you eventually do tell him about your adventure on TSM?

You're doing great!

Yes, I'm still incognito. I told one very close friend about it but that's because he's a heavier drinker than me and has been going on and off the wagon for the last couple of years and because he knows how to keep his mouth shut.

Other than him, my doctor and you guys, no one knows about my TSM adventure.
