Well done NH. You are really going through it.
Sorry about your friend Amester.
Today my sister in law is coming for lunch. Not necessarily something to look forward to but there will be no alcohol and I will do my knitting while she talks. (A lot.)

Morning! Day 57, gonna hang out with my best friend/ex/fwb... Yeah it's complicated. Whatever we are these days he means the world to me and he has talked me through many cravings and rough nights over the past few months. I haven't seen him since I got clean so I'm very excited to get to spend time with him again. (yes he is extremely supportive of my recovery, he had front row seats to my last relapse and doesn't ever want to see me go through that again.)
Well done with the wedding NH, that's tricky business, I think it will be many many more months clean before I can get through a wedding without drinking. I'm infamous in my family for my behavior at weddings, it's not pretty.
Congrats on day 27 and day 41!! Keep up the good work!

Holy humid day in the East today, but it will be a great sober birthday. Off to camp for the day! Thanks for the birthday wishes, I appreciate all the love. I hope you all will help me celebrate the day by choosing to be sober today!

Happy birthday Minion!
Well done on getting through the wedding sober needinghelp, and congratulations on 30 days Mandalay!
Went to a lunch time meeting today and a guy there really annoyed me, he asked 'how long is it now?' and when I told him nearly 6weeks he replied 'is that all? Been going through the revolving door a lot have you?...' I kept calm and took it but I felt angry at him then angry at myself for just taking getting spoken to like that- Im all for tolerance but I can't stand being put down especially when Im trying so hard- Im going to a meeting everyday lately and his comment made me think of a drink- glad to report that I didn't and that Im still sober but still a bit down about it.

That guy was at a meeting which means he has some issues or he wouldn't be there. You also have issues or you wouldn't be there. He was tactless and you were sensitive. You both have work to do. Everyone there has work to do.
Being brought down by other people's opinions of me or actually what I think they are thinking is a big problem for me. I would love to crack that one.
I seem to be stuck in a slightly depressed head space. No energy.

I know it's hard not to let others' negativity bring you down 1stepup. I think 6 weeks is phenomenal. As others have pointed out I think he's projecting some of his own issues onto you. He is definitely not worth a slip or relapse, I say don't give him that satisfaction.
When I started getting clean again this last time I heard that my neighbor and my brother in law were both already predicting my next relapse. That really ticked me off but I decided to use it as motivation. I refuse to prove them right. I have faith in me even if no one else does and that's really all I need.

I did start to feel it at one point so just excused myself and had a short walk outside.
