Basic recovery technique - facing a Christmas party for the first time To celebrate my nearly one year of recovery after leaving my STBERAH, I have just taken a huge - for me - step. I accepted an invitation to our office Christmas party in two weeks time, and bought a new party dress at 50% discount which arrived by mail today. RAH was so jealous, I always refused invitations to any work social events - except last year, when I promised to get a cab home with a girlfriend before 9pm. I never went to anything where partners were invited, except to his work parties, where he usually left me all evening on my own. I was always so ashamed of his drinking behaviour. So this year, best foot forward! No-one waiting up hammered at home checking the time, no-one checking out I'm looking 'modest' before I go out. So ladies, in my 60th year I have bought a beautiful deep ruby, figure hugging, ruched (fake) silk, just above the knee, sleeveless party dress! It fits like a dream, and with my renewed confidence, I am really looking forward to a party for the first time in nearly 20 years. That's recovery!:a122: |
Wow, I have tears of joy in my eyes right now for you. That dress sounds stunning, and you will make it even better. Congrats on that big step. ((((((((((hugs))))))))) amy |
Ooh nothing like a good red dress to get you in the holiday spirit! And nothing like a good figure-hugging red dress to make you feel like a movie star! |
So, I want to hear about the whole look. How are you doing your hair? Shoes? |
Hubba hubba! :You_Rock_ |
That sounds exciting! BRAVO!!!:a122: |
That makes me smile :) Good for you! |
What a lovely post. Good on you. :a122: |

You know Brindie, when *I* am 60 I want to be secure enough with myself to wear a figure-hugging dress. Any color. Any holiday. You are ROCKING your confidence which is the sexiest-ever accessory any woman can wear, every day for every event in her life. (IMO) You have inspired me SO MUCH with this seemingly *little* post. :tyou |
