Don't know if that helps answer your question somewhat.

Thank you Pippo...
Great to see you back. Hope you are well.
The news footage is so bad... just really hope there are no more fatalities. Think it's hard for me in wet and dull UK to understand the severity of what is happening..no matter how much news I watch. Xxxx

Big week over here with the kids starting new schools and us starting new routines to compensate for it. So far everything is going smoothly.

I did overeat yesterday in response to the stress but I did not drink, nor did I have the desire to. I haven't really had an urge in the last month or so - it's a nice feeling to be free of that noise.

Here for 24 more. Grateful to be sober and free, healthy and safe. So much to be grateful for really, but those are just a few...

I'm sorry Nicola- what a crappy group of people to do something like that. Keep on moving forwards and don't let the anger/resentment build up. It's okay to be upset about it but that type of deceit will come back to them one way or another. I would not count that against your sober time, but that's just me. I would also make sure next time that I am in full control of my beverages! I'm sorry this happened to you but you are doing GREAT- this is not a setback, just a small bump in the road...much love my friend!

It turns out that the "mocktails" they bought me on their rounds had vodka in it...I had said previously that the mocktails had triggered me..now i know why.
I'm disgusted and appalled. I had even said that I'm on anti-biotics..
They are not great friends but I feel sooo hurt. Looks like I am back to day 6 again... Gutted

Nic ~ if you did not choose to drink and did not know you were drinking....you have a choice here. You did not lose any sober time, so please do what feels right to you with regards to your sober date love.

Love you very much. :hug: ♥

I just feel like a fraud if I keep ticking off the days now.. I'm feeling disheartened about it all to be honest.. thought I was doing so well. Last night I was dreaming about alcohol again so it's really unsettled me, and I wish she had never told me
Love you too my beautiful friend.. xxx

bandicoot2 09-07-2017 04:31 PM

(((Nic))) I'm so sorry that happened to you and it's no wonder you felt triggered!
At around 10 months sober, I ate a delicious dessert and only later found out it was made with rum. I was horrified and felt stupid and guilty. I didn't choose to drink and kept my original sobriety date. I hope you keep yours! Love you girl!

Hope our dear Leigh is safe. Prayers for Florida and everyone in Irma's path.

I'm ALL in for another 24. Hugs, peace, strength and love to all....xxxx
