Ok this is a slight moan and sorry if I seem really, REALLY shallow.. Not looking forward to the trip for a dumb reason. Husband's friends both have new girlfriends. The girls are both several years younger than me (and them!), slim and attractive. I am not the slimmest nor the prettiest and am going to look like a giant sack of potatoes beside them I hate being heavy-I'm not obese but definitely overweight BMI wise- and I am trying my hardest to lose weight but it's hard. I get jealous of people wearing skinny jeans etc while I drown myself in tent like clothes.
I know I should know better than this, and there's more to life than looks, but it gets me down. Not going to drink over it though- attractiveness goes down exponentially when you are drunk!

It is good to be back

Welcome back, Ento; nice to see you.
Have you ever looked into AVRT? It seems to help many of us with noisy AVs. I'll post a link in a minute.

Celebrating 9 months today and I couldn't have come this far without help from everyone here!!
Congrats to all milestoners and hugs to those struggling. Some days are better than others, but it does get easier with each sober day.

Grateful for all of you, this forum and the Smart recovery forum. Each and everyone has a story to tell, so much easier and better hearing and telling it without the use of mind altering substances.
Might be offline for a few days, headed to NH. Stay well.
