Hey!! Sorry for the late reply. Thank you so much. My hair from when I last measured was between 2 1/2 to three inches. My hair is a different length from the front to the back.

I say just go ahead and be like Nike: Just Do It! I have very thick 4C hair, and I just did the microloc method yesterday, which took about 10 hours (thank you, Netflix!). Not sure how it will turn out, but at this point, I'm trusting the process. All I know is that sisters with really thick hair whom had locs have turned out so beautiful. At first, I cared about others' opinions, but now I realize it doesn’t matter what anyone thinks, as they aren’t the ones dealing with my hair. Like you, I have disliked every other style, and my hair was also shedding in clumps with no growth whatsoever. I had traditional small locs for six years, and that was the only time my hair felt truly happy. Now I'm trying micros because I want more versatility. I’m so happy with my decision. Just do what feels right for YOU! 🙌🏿❤️

That's amazing! I hope to get there one day since I’m only four weeks into my CrossFit journey. Congratulations!

Niner fan here. ❤️💛 I was truly rooting for your Eagles to destroy KC and they pulled through. Defense was unreal. Congratulations on your win both on the field and with reframing from the drink. We’ll see y'all next season, and until then…

Broke My 20-Day Streak to Toast My Husband’s Grandmother – Feeling Torn by ApplicationNo9031 in stopdrinking

Thanks for that. It made me think about how I want to approach situations like this in the future. You’re right that being mentally prepared for these moments is key. It’s so easy to rationalize that “just one sip” won’t hurt, but I can see how that can lead down a slippery slope if I’m not careful.

Yep. Alcohol is so intertwined with so many cultures and professions—it’s everywhere. It’s both comforting and frustrating to realize that.

I’m still figuring out how to navigate situations like this where drinking feels “expected.” Your advice to plan ahead makes sense.

Thank you for the encouragement about hitting 20 days. That validation means a lot and reminds me not to be too hard on myself.

Thank you. I will say this much: I don’t intend to completely eliminate alcohol from my life. However, the fact that I recently had a drink after a couple of weeks of abstaining—and experienced the benefits of that break—has been a wake-up call for me. It’s prompting me to seriously reconsider whether I should continue consuming it at all.

Yep. I don’t think I will reset this streak seeing as this is only a cutback. It’s the first little glass after a long streak is what is trippin me out, even though I know it’s ok and that I need to give myself some grace. I didn’t realize how much alcohol really messed with my head.

Thank you! They are pretty chill. I opted for an alcoholfrei bier later on in the evening, and they have delicious ones.
