My love buckets (((hugs))))
I'm sad for you. Sad for her. She is in the deep throws of full blown addiction. Where anyone and anything that threatens that will be excommunicated from the church of all things drunk. It's obvious and palpable where her priorities lie.
And it's stomach turning.
I love what Dee said. Seriously. It's spot on.
But that doesn't take away the raw rejection of being cast aside because you are no longer ingesting ethanol. So allow yourself to really feel it. The hurt and pain and rejection. Then, when you have shed every last tear, pick yourself up and make the decision to have the best god damned SOBER holiday you have ever had.
You are wise for reaching out. Love you bunches and buckets and I am so so SO proud to call you my friend.
XO AO
PS - my polish catholic mother informed me that she doesn't think I'm going to make it through Thanksgiving sober. Thanks for that vote of confidence ma. Truth is, she wants to get slammered and doesn't have HER drinking partner anymore. Me. Oh, the Agita !!!
