Thanks Ilya, Id copied and pasted the conversation I had with his ex, forgetting mine and her names were on there so Dee rightly deleted it...I was so angry yesterday but calmer today x very high trigger that was!
Good luck today, its difficult knowing you cant drink with all the triggers of stopping and restaurants etc, try to just take it as it comes, hope your friend is ok x

Good luck today Ilya! Do you have phone numbers of fellow alchies you can call if the urge strikes you on the trip? Remember - deep breaths, prayer (if that's your thing), and try and enjoy the moment - doing things sober can be like seeing things for the first time. It's Spring! hopefully the drive will be pretty.

Today could be full of triggers. A day trip, meandering, and a dinner out. I'm generally fine with my OH and this friend but I've never been out with both of them...
They've both been supportive. I'll keep checking in.
Hope everyone is doing well !

I think that IS why it's probably not good to get into relationships early on... I've noticed realizations about the people in my life bubbling up spontaneously. I feel like that will continue for a while. I wouldn't want to go get deeply involved with a new person now... New enchantments are always a minefield of patterns for me. Very well concealed.
Slowly being able to see them without my wine goggles
It seems like you've had a few epiphanies today, no? What a great day

Good morning all, I love all the individual stuff posted . The list, the poem, the sleep/no sleep stories, the coping strategies. Trips and parties, SOs and their crazy drinking, slips, AVs, AAs and all that other stuff.
We are an interesting group. ((Hugs)) if you're into that kind of stuff. Fist bump if you'd rather.

It must have been something in the air- maybe all of our AVs sent out their own private messages to each other yesterday and agreed to try and attack us. But we didn't let them.

They're like Gremlins. With instant messaging.

Thanks for the well-wishes, friendos!
I'm excited for the trip and the fact that my first sober day trip is with two folks that are sensitive to my plight.
I'm stopping at a great record shop so I'm hoping to find something new and good...
Mr F what an honor you will be wishing me well while listening to Sabbath, I'm sure that is an effective conduit of prayer
Hi Kim's friend, no I don't really have a "Kim" to call, but I will stay close here, I'm finding that it really helps to just shout out to the ether and then even better if one of you catches it. It brings it to the front of my mind.
I've finished a segment of my project, and now I'm off to run, and then blessed sweet COFFEE!!! My new love

It never ceases to amaze me the depth of strength and encouragement received from the people in this thread....For myself, it is hard enough for me to deal with myself and my own idiosyncrasies let alone dealing with other people's unsolicited two cents adding to my injuries....If I have learned anything here from reading the posts and how some of you have handled certain situations, it is that although I have been to the bottom....the very freakin' bottom.......I'm not there any more!!!!!....so say what you want, act around me the way you want but watch my dust when I prove you all wrong and pass YOU by.... this time....Thanks yinze guys!!!! Probably the most I've said to anyone regarding my beast in along time let alone the whole SR world..... Keeping my mouth shut was never a problem for me in the past being 1.) Italian and 2.) Drunk or buzzed pretty much 24/7 or close to it!!!! SMH Thanks again, guess some prayers do get answered!
