You know what really ticks me off.....
You know what really ticks me off.....
I hate it when people make fun of you after a drunken night........my parents still make fun of me over things that happened years ago, friends still bring things up at the most inappropriate times.....I just don't get it. I have never been the one to get my jollies from someone elses misery...I guess it's because I understand how it feels. I am going through it now at work and it's not fun.......I always made it a rule to never party with associates....and now I know why.....live and learn I guess. Anywho......just a rant....thanks for listening. Day 12.....have a great day everyone!
It takes longer than 12 days to clear the wreckage in some cases.
Time is the great equalizer.
hang in there, hon.
Congratulate yourself on your twelve days!
Stay here... in the now.

Shantra your doing good. Don't let that nonsense get you down but hey if getting angry fires your determination for a better sober life then so be it. We get it so share away.
I was food for fodder with some folks in my life and since I quit drinking.....I no longer am. I realized that these folks weren't out to mock my pain but just having a chuckle at my drunk self. Nothing more really.
Now....I can't take away what I have done and have moved on. When I think about those times - which in recovery now aren't that often - I just smile and say thankfully that is no longer me and I never have to go through that again.
Keep it going. Who you are now is what counts.

Well done on your sober progress....
I found a lot of understanding and support with new friends
I met in AA. Also learned how to overcome my past
mistakes and continue to improve myself.

I don't hate it. I seek it out and pray for humility and humbleness. And when I get it, I thank God for it.
I'm not saying you are wrong for hating it, just try looking at it as something that will make you stronger for tomorrow.

Shantra32 a long story short version. My brother used to bring up my DUI every time I talked to him I mean every time. Finally I just had to say "look bro if these is what we're gonna talk about every time I won't want to talk or hang out as much in the future". He immediately stopped bring it up every time. Just be polite and sincere.
