Happy New Year, Jan. 1, 2011. My evening last night was: I went looking for this 6:30 meeting at a new place and I could not find it. My stupid GPS kept telling me "you have arrived" and it was, uh, Walgreens? It was way off. I circled and circled (it was dark and kind of rainy out) and was cursing my stupid GPS. So I did not get to the meeting.
But...I went to a tiny (5 women) get together at an Al Anon friend's home and we laughed and laughed. I brought sparkling cranberry drink and I drank that and also mixed it with Sprite a few times. Since it was bad weather I headed home at like 9pm.
I ended up reading old journals, from back in 88, 89 and 90 and it really got to me. Over and over, the same old sh!te...my angst, lamenting bad relationships, guys, late nights, parents and family annoyances, gripe gripe gripe. Swearing off men, swearing off beer, etc...and this is, like 20+ years ago!?!
SO HAPPY TO BE SOBER today and last night and one day at a time.
My mantra: If nothing changes, nothing changes.
THANKS for being here Decembers and everyone!
SLEEPIE: I hope you can hang in til Monday when you get your meds. Keep posting.
