Yep, I totally agree with Dee here.

If you're anything like me, you're going to have to learn/re-learn a lot of things.

Take every single experience as a learning/growing experience.

I went to bed EARLY last night. Man i was tired. Anyhoo this morning I checked facebook and there were all the posts from the party. "Family is so great" "We are so blessed" "Wonderful party/food etc" I feel even worse now. A meeting will help i know. On a lighter note...my sons and husband are LOVING that we arent invited to events like this. LOL They absolutely hate sitting around at family gatherings. BORING is what my sons said. My hubby said to tell my family Im still drinking so we ARENT invited. He was joking of course. Still the comments brightened my day.

Maybe its my alcoholic mind...not sure. I have everything going for me. I love my husband and sons very much and they love me too. Unconditionally. I should wrap my brain around that instead of obsessing about the 2 or 3 family members who dont want me around. Blessing in disguise anyone?

you have the love and support of your immediate family....maybe there is a reason besides "boring" that they dislike your siblings?

at any rate, your sobriety is protected, you have meetings, good family around you and many blessings.

stay off of Facebook for now....they may be baiting you too, knowing you are reading....i hate that kind of stuff, so unnecessary to rub anyone's nose in it.

Enjoy your beautiful Sunday!

I wouldn't assume there is any "baiting" going on. Don't look for things to resent.

I also wouldn't assume you won't be invited to family events in the future. And, as your sons and husband noted, it is the IDEA of not being invited that is causing more distress than the actual not going.

Heh, I have been wounded in the past when I wasn't invited to the weddings of various co-workers over the years. OTOH, when I HAVE gone, I usually haven't enjoyed them that much, and I wind up having to buy gifts that I probably would not have otherwise bought. Do your best to let it go.

Hugs, enjoy the rest of your weekend,

I operate on the "How Important Is It"? concept.
I have a small family and yet..someone is always fussing with another.
that's often the way of families.

Sure...sometimes I get my feelings stepped on
that happens to everyone unless you are a hermit!


Take the time you are spending over rude people and
use it to benefit yourself...husband and sons.
Make today a treat for the 4 of you.

It's a great day to be sober and love life!

Yes mam! I have a day planned too! AA meeting, tanning, visit a friend down the road who got her house remodeled (totally jealous), a movie and cleaning cleaning cleaning.

You guys are the best!

I'm glad you went through this, sober! Sobriety is such a learning experience, which is a good thing, really. It takes time for everyone involved to heal from the horror of alcoholism.

And I agree.....back away from Facebook.

Glad you are here!

Thank you! Im taking a break from facebook. It irritates me for some reason. My sponsor says as long as I'm praying and doing the right thing the rest will come together. I mailed the gift and I texted my sister yesterday "hey sis mailed baby &%* gift let me know when you get it. i hope he likes it. Love you lots"

No response back from her!

Fandy

i'm glad to hear that you are dealing with this in a healthy way...Now today is a new day filled with new opportunities...you are sober and taking care of yourself.
