20 Years Today!

Posted Yesterday at 01:28 PM by BlueMoon (Life happens when you’re sober)

ME?! OMG – ME!? Well, first of all, I am not OLD enough to have been sober that long, thank you very much! I mean come on! I’d have had to get sober at like 3 or something. *geesh!*

Seriously.

I started drinking at 14.
The 1st time I drank, I nearly died of alcohol poisoning.
How’s that for a clue?
(One of my g-girls is 13 – what a reality check to realize how very YOUNG I really was!)

I was 26 when I decided “Houston, we have...

I HATE facebook!

Posted 02-08-2012 at 06:57 PM by BlueMoon (Life happens when you’re sober)

Since about 2005, I’ve been on facebook as “Blue Moon”. I was never very active – I’d just sorta roam around once in a while. Lately, as my g-girls have gotten old enough to be on fb, I hang out on their pages to see what they’re up to and to write on their walls. Still not very active at all.

So, the other day, I go to sign in and I can’t. I get sent to facebook’s “help center” “Disabled - Inauthentic account” page:

Stay in a Bunch! (shopping with 5 g-girls)

Posted 02-08-2012 at 06:46 PM by BlueMoon (Life happens when you’re sober)

When my g-daughters were little, (7, 5 + 4 til they were 9, 7 + 6) I used to take them downtown on Friday nite to the kid/family friendly events. It was a BLAST! But VERY crowded. Instead of saying “stick together!” we called out to each other “STAY IN THE BUNCH!”
“Granma! KT’s not in the bunch!”
“Sara! Get in the bunch!”
They policed each other. LOL
(and I repeatedly counted 1, 2, 3 all nite long!)

OK.

I don’t drive. The state has...

Sober Anniversary

Posted 02-07-2012 at 12:35 PM by BlueMoon (Life happens when you’re sober)

My sober – AA ! – anniversary is in 2 days – February 9th.
I will be sober TWENTY YEARS! That is one year longer than what I drank!
I can’t believe it. It can’t possibly be real. I remember when I first came into AA, I thought 5 years was totally impossible and that anyone who said they were sober that long were very probably lying about it. No way can ANYONE stay sober THAT long!
Let alone ME.

Anniversaries have always freaked me out. It starts in mid-January...
