I decided to tack on two more days to my AF-bender. thanks for the support, everyone!

Go Zontar, go! Ya got the fever for freedom!

ha! more like stress that makes me want to drink, and drinking never seems to help. need a couple more days so I don't binge my way into the weekend!

You are doing great zontar. I am doing well, but not as well as you!! Proud of you, though.

xoxo Newlife

thanks newlife! your cheering on means a lot. I'm always rooting for you, for sure!

Zontar,

As always I am always late in congratulating someone! Happy 1st year! I am closing in on mine as well. Time still flies by even without blackouts I know that great feeling of being the new designated driver in the house. Strange at first but sort of a confirmation of how far we have come.

Keep up the great work.

thanks reboot---good to hear from you too. we've been in this together for a while now. I actually volunteered to be driver to a concert out of town the other night. never done THAT before!

starting a Memorial Day Weekend 5-day AL free bender! this weekend always coincides with the end of my school year and I "treat myself" to being stupid all weekend. so, figured I'd see a live band, two baseball games,hit European motorcycle night and play a ton of disc golf instead. it's a sat-wed stretch, so wish be luck and join me if you want to!

I am more than happy to join you Zontar - and what a lovely way to spend the holiday weekend! Sounds like a plan to me! I always smile when I see those words that you use "an AL free bender" ! Good one !

Hugs, Maggie x
