Hi everyone! Thanks for your kind words. Today has been good, I went to AA and then for coffee with my sponsor (I knew her from AA before) and have made some concrete plans for tomorrow now. I am going to a lunchtime meeting, then out for tea with my friend and her daughter and then an evening meeting! I'll be home and sober by ten.
Thankyou for sharing your experiences about friends too. Yes, not all of them will get it nor can they handle it.
Some wise words I picked up from my AA meeting today. Someone mentioned the 'allergy' part that the Doctor refers to at the start of the Big Book. I never got that lol. Im not bloody allergic to alcohol
But he talked about it as an 'abnormal reaction' and that makes perfect sense to me! Yay! I do have an abnormal reaction. My friends dont go out, get tipsy, have fun and then go home and polish off a further 2 bottles of wine when they get home do they? I always did
