Thanks Beccy for the great thread!!!
When I was drinking towards the end, I was pretty much miserable towards everyone. I did engage in polite conversation with the gal at one of the liquor stores I would frequent, however.
But, in early sobriety I became very fake. Smiley Jack if you will. Acted like I was running for flippin mayor or something. Guess I wanted to prove how great sobriety was - what a laugh!!
I am becoming more comfortable as you mentioned and really - like popeye, I yam what I yam. Pleasant mostly, but not the HUGGING back slapping how's yer daddy doing guy.........uck - I hate that guy. Who let him in????
Here's a link to many promises someone has listed from the Book................. Good stuff, but maybe not the straight up classic promises we are aware of.....
