24 Hour Recovery Connections Part 169
Good news Leigh!!!!!
I lost a friend today. She was my main drinking buddy. I told her I didn't want to be around alcohol anymore, and that we could do other things. Suddenly, she flew into a rage about things that made no sense, and somehow I was evil though I was her best friend a short time ago. I didn't engage in battle, and that made her more angry. I went home sober, felt a loss, felt hurt, but felt relief too. I can't put up with that anymore. Of course I will miss her, and really want her to join us. But that's not what's happening so I have to let go. I want to spend my energy on new friendships, and old ones with sober people. It hurts now, but I will be so much happier soon.
My favorite season is here! I plan to get my fall flowers out, do some hiking at the lake, and work on my friendships and familyships.
24 more hours please--definitely today
Love Red

I'm sorry love, but super proud of you....I know that letting go of the friends who were part of my drinking and choofing life was ultimately a good decision for me....it hurts at the time, but as you said, onto friendships that reflect where we are in our lives now. I love the friends I have now with all of my heart.... ♥

You're growing into a new and better life. You just have to believe that.
Pray for your friend. She may meet up with you sober one day.
New healthier friendships are on the horizon now.
Thankful that you are sober today.

So, well done Red ! Let go and move on. Regret means that you recognise the loss but are able to take steps to amend and heal. Good stuff !
Well done to all the milestoners celebrating today ! We fall down, we get up, we fall down, we get up, we fall down, we get up....always strive to make 'get up' the concluding step.
Another 24 hours of serenity, loving kindness and sobriety pls ! Its 10:14am here !
