Really enjoyed seeing the Queen parachute into the stadium with 007 for the opening of the Olympics. I've always been a big fan of QE2. The best part-- I was sober.
 
Turquoise, was that you who started the challenge? Thanks.

Marylizy, Camiol, and all, sounds like we all had a better day. Onward and upward.
 
So, where are you all on the map? I grew up in Nashville but lived in Florida the last 25 years. I'm visiting my non-drinking friends back home this weekend.

Hi Roy, it's been a week, how are you doing?

Glad to hear it Roy!
 
So far so good, only one night a little off. 
 
Let's keep it up. This feels better.

Marylizy, where you lived near St Aug is very close to where I live in NC FL.
 
NO drinks last night and I was at a wine bar with my cousin who doesn't drink. The company can make the difference.
 
Onward and upward. Sounds like we did all right over all last night.

Spiritwolf, hi, I just joined a week ago, this is a very friendly thread. Welcome and good luck.
 
Camiol, Turquoise, all you Mogas, hang in there.
 
Marylizy, I'm away from home so not so much time online. Excited to see your message now! I'm in Gainesville. Cool. Really small world. I really like our part of Florida. :)
 
Two beers with friends last night at a Mexican restaurant. I think the weekend went pretty well. Tonight will be with non-drinking friends again (but I said before I won't expect one situation to be easier than another). Going back home tomorrow and will definitely need strength to keep the old patterns from reforming.

Black Pearl, I like your Sleep Beauty time mantra.

Moderation Gang (MoGa) - an ongoing discussion of moderate drinking

Hi Mogas, found you!
 
I appreciate seeing some of your background stories, as I just joined less than two weeks ago. I admire and am inspired by your perseverance and your acceptance of yourself and others.
 
I am here because I want to be able to enjoy a drink or two at happy hour without starting early and continuing to pick up speed until bedtime, worse for the wear the next morning. I had been struggling with the resolution to control my drinking off and on for years but the hardest was the past three years. I told myself I was in control and it wasn't so bad. I only have one body and one mind for this life and I wasn't taking good care of them.
 
I am finding that reporting to you and keeping records in my personal diary on the website are really helping to make a difference. Thank you!

I was stupid last night. Stupid, stupid, stupid. So that's Slip #2 since I joined.
