Thumbs up A Cruise, A Halloween party & A Mother-in-Law

and I made it thru all 3! With the help of everyone here. Thanks for all our posts, threads, support and suggestions. I am grateful today for all of you and AA.
To anyone scared they can't do it without alcohol know that you can and it can be better than you imagined. Oh don't get me wrong the thought of a drink passed my mind a different times but as a wise women in my AA group says...you aren't responsible for the first thought that comes into your head but yo are responsible for what you do with it! True words of wisdom.
With all these recent events have shared with more and more people my little secret...i am an alcoholic and I do not drink anymore. No I tell them not even a little!
One friend even asked Do you have to go to those meetings? I told her I didn't have too I wanted too!
Thanks again for always being here!
Jen

I just smiled at my Mother-in-Law and remembered to accept the things I cannot change!

Good advice on dealing with 'difficult' people. Also good to remind myself that I don't always have to express out loud what I am feeling or thinking! Sometimes silence and a smile is the best response!
