Good for you, angel girl. Looking forward to seeing those awesome results. Newlife

Great news AG - looking forward to hearing the good news! It boosts us ALL when one of us does well!

hugs, Maggie xx

Thanks for the encouragement! Last week was pretty good and had 29 drinks with one day AF. I changed the way I report it now and just give a recap in my signature. Overall I am able to average about 1-2 days a week AF and would like to try going three or four days soon. I can't believe I have been doing this for 17 weeks already! I am happy with the results so far and will keep pushing on.

AG - you and I started about the same time - you are about a week ahead of me I think, if that ? Anyway - good for you being AF even just for a day - I have not been able to do it without the help of AB yet! I keep getting down as things are not going as fast as I would like them to - but I know that we will get there in the end - I am glad I have company on this journey!

hugs, Maggie xx

You are doing so well! I haven't managed an AF day, but I think I may be able to manage it in the next few weeks. For me, that would be a major victory!
Best wishes,

Lets have some more weeks in the twenties AG.

I have been busier than usual with work, the kids, activities and have fallen a little behind on posting but I do still keep a journal and follow the rules plus read many of the posts on this thread. Week 18 I was at 27 drinks and last week (week 19) I was at 33. I decided to add (to my signature) the monthly amounts and it really does give me the "big" picture by month. Before the Sinclair Method I was drinking close to 280 drinks a month (I still can't believe it but that was my actually consumption). It's a miracle I was able to function and feel SO much healthier now than I did months ago. So by month it looks like this:
Pre-Nal=280 drinks a month
Month One: 193 Drinks
Month Two: 157 Drinks
Month Three: 153 Drinks
Month Four: 136 Drinks
Month Five (I have one more week to go).

I still have a ways to go and encourage us all to keep pressing on!

looking good AG

the monthly figures are a good idea - they smooth out some of the spikes & give you a better idea of your downward trend

AG - like me, I know you are not where you ultimately want to be but really, your consumption is so much better than pre nal. You have to feel good about that. We are all rooting for you so NAL ON!! XOXO Newlife

I agree with Newlife Angel - that once we actually look at the big picture, we see that it is working - it just doesn't always seem that way! Hang in there !
