Dee ~ hugs and prayers for you and your mum
Can I tell on myself early? Got invited to a concert that's a month from now and my AV already has me convinced that I'm probably going to drink that night. It's normal to feel this way, right? Sorry, my anxiety just kinda went through the roof there...... One day at a time.....I'm sober today and need to be sober tomorrow. 24 more please!

As an example, I was upset all day yesterday as my sister didnt invite my family to my mother's birthday lunch. It was a very deliberate snub. Initially I tried to shrug it off as we are cordial at the best of times. However, it did nag away at me the whole day. Despite being upset, I carefully chose not to reply. Only after discussing with a friend and going to my Dharma practice, did the negative feelings melt away. Afterwards, I discovered that my sister is struggling with her financial situation, is beset with anxiety and is harbouring resentments towards my family. So, I am glad that I had the ability to control my feelings and understand more what she is experiencing. Now, I have compassion towards her. If i was still an active drinking, I would have probably unleashed a lot of angry and bitter texts at her. Phew !
Another 24 hours of patience and tolerance, compassion and sobriety pls ! Its 9:29am here !

Thanks Kris....just though it might help to get it out in the open ASAP....plus my friends would most likely be pleasantly relieved to see me sober for the first time in, well, the 13+ years that I've known them!
Speaking of HALT, I'm definitely feeling the "T".....better try and get some sleep soon....thanks again everyone for being here!

Purpl,
That seems lik a bit of a red flag to me. Might be good to avoid it if those feelings persist. If you're strong in your sobriety by then, and don't feel so triggered it might be ok. I'm still at the stage where shopping at Target is dangerous enough (not in terms of craving, but just the upsetting effect), and I couldn't put myself around lots of intoxicated people without feeling uncomfortable...but everyone is so different, and YMMV. I think you'll know as it gets closer.
Thank you for posting, it's honest and helps me too

Also understanding where some of our crazy thoughts come from, can help. Just don't get complacent and you'll be fine. Sounds like some of my friends from before. Bless them. lol.

Think: HALT
Hungry
Angry
Lonely
Tired
For me, 'tired' was a biggie.
