I think it would be good if you can ask an AA friend to pop by.
What time is it where you are?
How long do you have to wait before you can go?
You are very brave....I'm sure you are doing the right thing for yourself here.

Thank you. I literally have no one else to talk to.
I have to pack, which seems insurmountable at the moment. Books and a journal. Same journal that I had last year in the hospital. I need to decide on books, too. And write down phone numbers.
I went to AA tonight for the first time in a while, it was great. My ass is hitting up every meeting when I come back!!!! I haven't been going on a regular basis which isn't helping things.

I hear you. I am returning to meetings this week after a very long time.
And it will be regular for me too.
OK....packing. PJs and undies and trackies and stuff (Aussie here, trackies is a sweat suit I guess).

Something light to read maybe, that would be entertaining.
Maybe a good novel that will help pass the time.
Wish I could give you my copy of A Cat Named Bob.
Maybe write down the phone numbers first; then that job is done.

Did I read that right? Are you going to the hospital too?
What's it like in Australia right now? It's cold here but not unbearably so. Probably going to miss out on the first snow. Since I can't afford new tires, I'm not too saddened by this

Oh. Yeah...not going to meetings = bad stuff happens!
I'm so overwhelmed now. So much stuff has happened my head is spinning.
The gist of it, I've nowhere to go on Thanksgiving. My ex brother in law and I were friends- very good friends. Every weekend he had the kids, we were together. Since Labor Day, he's completely shut me out- refuses to talk to me at all. Idk what I did- I honestly do not know. His daughter has since come out and I'm thinking he's mad at me, for being liberal and potentially gay (although if I was gay I think I would know about it by now, but I did question things years back). That's all I can think of, because literally nothing else happened! He refuses to invite me for Thanksgiving, which gives me no place to go, and I even passed him on the street yesterday TWICE and he refused to even acknowledge me. I am literally sickened by this. I've spent hundreds of dollars on those kids every year for the holidays, including last year where I spent extra because he wasn't working.
Not anymore. Which pisses my sister off, she's basically saying if I don't want anything to do with the kids, I can go "**** off." Truthfully, all she does is sleep, try to date 25 year old men and bitch about life in general, so not much of a loss.

Oh, that is SO hard.
I'm sure you didn't do anything wrong....how we beat ourselves up when other people hurt us.
It's a lot to deal with right now...man, family.
Mine is a bit of a nightmare too.
