Morning all. Day 4 and I feel well. Glad to not be hungover at work.
Fricka, I was sorry to read your tale. I hope you can find some peace over it.
Good to see a few new folks. Welcome.
Dutchess, I get your problem. I've found that at social events most people don't care if you just say "I'm not drinking tonight" or say you have some thing early in the morning. I don't know your social circle, but that has worked for me in the past.
Was reminded that sobriety does not fix everything. Blew up a bit at my 7 year old this morning as we were trying to get off (it is my job to get the kids up and ready and we need to be out the door at X time and they never are). I finally had them in the car and she starts the bathroom break call. I was able to apologize later before I dropped her off. She says it's okay but doesn't change how bad I feel about it. The sad thing is if I was hungover I'd probably just have shrugged it off (nice excuse to be a few more minutes late).
Oh well. Won't drink today. Good wishes all.
