I found some teeny tiny ones on ebay. Have rubber o-rings so dont open by themselves. Tiny black metal not very noticeable. Room for one pill if you break in pieces. Have extras. Any body wants, PM address and I'll ship you one.

Steve.

Count me in on Wednesday! Thursday I am flying and have made it my goal not to drink in the airport or on my travel day this trip so I am in again on Thursday. Friday - no way! IF I can make it Wednesday and Thursday it will be 6 in a row AF. I think I will try to celebrate just a little on Friday.

I hope your dinner went ok, Jaba. In a situation such as yours, I would have taken the pill just in case.

Reboot, 6 days in a row AF....Yes! If you make it I think I will try to celebrate just a little for you on Friday. :lol:

You lot are cracking me up - we are NOT supposed to be 'celebrating' when we have been AF !!!! That is not quite the idea of this - and definitely not celebrating someone else being AF! Reboot - 6 days is really good and I am impressed - I am going for 3 this week and am impressed with that - LOL

Hugs everyone and good luck today! Remember today is AF day ? Maggie x

Reboot,

I would have to say a celebration is something that we all should do after our af days, because we have found 1) that we can be af without going mad 2) we will be in control because of our nal.

One day I hope to celebrate without al, but I think that is just the way of the world...when have you witness a celebration without al?

Reboot, since you have had a six day stretch I need to ask if those endorphins kicked in big time? I had a three af days last week and the only difference was that I didn't drink :cry: . I did do some things for an endorphin rush, but nothing. The only thing I noticed is when I did allow myself to drink again it was a really big let down and very disappointing. I guess that is another reason to have so many af days in a row, to reenforce that feeling of "no reward".

I am so glad this trend is picking up. I have a feeling that my headaches are going to be back (allergies I think is the cause and the nal. puts them to bay). So I will need all the help I can get to be af.

Deena,

Thanks for asking about my dinner. It went fine, a little sad and a little fun. We had a lot to cover for it was awhile that we had seen each other, and I didn't get home until 11:30. I did end up taking my pill, but only had 1 glass of wine (god those glasses are big I should have brought my measuring cup). Since we talked, ate, and had 5 hours since I drank, my husband was fine with me driving; however, he did not want me to make a habit of it (I get where he is coming from, and since he doesn't drink he has no clue). I think Steve is right about the difference of taking it and having it. I took and but I really didn't want to drink, but I drank because I took it...need to buy that key chain!

Reboot, the more the merrier and I am glad to have the company!

Jaba

Why not Wednesday? Because it is book club night! It is the one night a month that I allow myself to eat with abandon. I am usually driving so I limit myself to one and a half glasses of wine. :evil: Oh, well, I committed so I am sticking with WNW. Plus the woman who is hosting tonight is the only person in the ten member group who is not a great cook and serves crappy wine. :lol:

Jaba, I can't wait to string three a/f days in a row. I think just the feeling of "no reward" would be a good one for me. Not that I would be at all disappointed by an endorphin rush. I am glad your dinner went ok. If you hadn't taken the pill and found the desire to drink really strong, would you be able to wait the full hour before drinking after popping the pill? Something to think about.

Maggie, I am impressed with your three days, too. Congrats!

Have a great day, everyone!

Well, it's Wednesday. My plan is to not drink today, but I'm a little worried I won't make it, but I'm going to try anyway. Maybe if the obsession to drink kicks in, I'll come in here and post the rantings of a crazy redheaded womans thoughts about that. :lol:

I wish us a successful af Wednesday!
