wine-less Friday evening

Usually around this time on a Friday I'd be on my 2nd bottle of wine. Not tonight! Made dinner, me and my older daughter cleaned the kitchen together then me, my mom and my kids went on a hike

its such a pretty evening! They found some firewood so we're gonna do a little bonfire in the backyard. All without wine! I think I'm gona enjoy these sober weekends more than I thought! Cravings and anxiety-gone. (For now)

Thanks Dee! I'm walking around the house smiling, I'm so proud of myself. These ups and downs are something else. I go from a nervous wreck to being totally content. Cant wait to feel more "normal" on a regular basis.

What a gorgeous picture. I love it! And you are enjoying your time without drinking. That is magnificent too!

If you get cravings ride them out. And eat ice cream!

You don't have to tell me twice! Freezer is stocked with all my favorites lol I've never eaten as much ice cream as I have in the last month. Its a total life saver for those late night cravings, and probably half the calories compared to what I was drinking in wine or mixed drinks

Good morning Ready! It's a wonderful thing waking up hangover and refer free isn't it. I am off to my 4 yr olds last soccer game. So fun to watch them run in clusters.

I hope you have a great Saturday. I can totally relate to your high - excited and proud of wine free days and nights! I hope we can both keep it up. I have a big challenge starting next weekend.
