OK, the reason I was away is because - in spite of having resubscribed to this thread, the last notification I had was on May 16!!! So I thought no one was posting...I missed such great conversations. Also, I wasn't missing because I went back to drinking, although, I had 1000 occasions where I wanted to, no I'm still absolutely sober. 143 days. I guess that I'm following Reeny and Carlotta.
Tonight Friday, after an awful job interview where being bullied by the person hiring made me feel super incompetent, I felt very sorry for myself. I didn't feel like drinking but thought that without the booze, my failures are so much more apparent. And I felt hopeless. Coming here has made my evening. Thank you.
Lunetta, it's good you're not drinking. I hope the painkillers will go soon and I send you good thoughts to go over your difficulties.

PS: I guess that I'll just check in every other day because somehow I can't rely on notifications alone.
