A wonderful benefit for me being active in my recovery via the 12 Step Rooms ....real friendships have formed. There are sober parties, game nights, movies, bbq's/picnics, out to lunch etc etc . I isolated in my LUCY kitchen at the end. I didn't even need those people I drank with, who I called friend. Just me, Lucy and a sh*tload of wine and anything else I had handy.
So, the surprise benefit of quitting drinking was making new friends, ones who I have FUN, laugh, cry and just love to pieces. You can quit drinking and be miserable, focusing on what you're missing. OR you can go about it a whole other way. One thing I know, I had to be willing and to find my HP again.

Congrats to all the milestoners for today ! Being sober means we have the opportunity to have clear minds. 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 Venus! I think I have the whole acronym going this first month, but I remember hungry and tired being the big crazy-makers when I last had long-term sobriety. I would be just like a cranky toddler if I didn't have my nap or, well, you know, ba-ba. . ...it's kinda like an altered state.
