Thank you. I will check out that October thread.

That is a very interesting definition and one that really hits home. Thanks again for sharing.

Yes the hubs will be quite happy. He just wants me to be happy with myself and my actions no matter what.

I will being heading out soon for dinner with an acquaintance and then to a family member's house. This will likely be this first time I will publicly refuse a drink in front of a friend that will be expecting me to drink or might ask about it. My biggest fear is that moment.

A bit nervous. But you are right- I owe no explanations. I don't mind the actual refusal. It's the conversation around it that I am dreading (if it even occurs).

I'll let you all know how it goes. I am currently feeling a bit angry (at no one in particular) that drinking is a problem for me but not others. I know this anger is irrational because everyone has different problems and life is not fair.One of my problems just happens to be with alcohol.

Thanks again for reading and replying. I will return.
