Lyddie - don't be sorry, no need for that on here
CeeFarro - well done on 40 days, and for staying strong.
Kenton - that cracked me up. Stay safe ;-)
Weav - sorry that you're having it tough, whatever happened. Sending love
Wiscober - sending love to you as well. Back on the sober horse

I feel like so many moms are just looking for drinking buddies. And while there was a time I would have as well, I feel really sad at how hard it is to make friends who don’t drink in this town.
This Mom I have been talking to at events and at a group play date told me today that I should just go home and pour myself some wine when I told her I was having a bad day. I told her I gave up drinking last year, she called me a “strong woman” and said some days she waits until it’s a “socially acceptable time” to start drinking. I am upset because I was hoping for a friendship with this girl as our boys are best buddies at school. But now I wonder if she will even want to hang out with me. She mentioned the other day how another friend of hers comes over and the kids play while she drinks wine with the mother.
I feel like once people find out I don’t drink they don’t want to hang out anymore. We shall see I guess how the summer goes. Hopefully I am wrong. Just feeling down about the whole thing. I don’t know how to make the types of friends I am looking for in the neighborhood. It doesn’t seem easy at all.

Sunny....there are tons and tons of sober mums....perhaps it is easier to find them in AA, but really, all over.....I think we keep finding these things that are our challenges until we can work through them. I believe there is a wonderful circle of sober healthy people out there that you will find soon....alcohol aside, there are so many people on massive health kicks these days.....loads who don't drink......we shall find them!!!!

I've shut the bathroom door so it can't get out and I'll have to leave it to my husband to deal with when he gets home. I have neither the courage nor the common sense to know how to get it out. We might need to remove the window and get a crane. I'm guessing the spider just wants a break from the wind and rain and that's fine. I got no bad feelings towards the spider .... I just hope it's still there when my husband gets home because if that thing goes missing in action somewhere in this house... we may have to move home.
Hope everyone is OK. 24 more hours for me please xxxx

My brother had a rattlesnake loose in the house when I went to visit one time. It was hanging out under the refrigerator for a while, and he really wasn’t bothered by it like I was. Apparently they prefer to use their inside voices and have better manners than they do outdoors.

When I was a kid- on a visit to relies in the big smoke from our little country town..they had a property in the hills...about 30 mins from the city...I slept on the floor in a sleeping bag- in my cousins room. He told me the next day, he had 2 black snakes in a pillow slip under his bed....very aggressive, venomous snakes. Inches from me...
I had a pet Huntsman once- Herman.
My crazy Uncle had a bird eating spider as a pet...it lived on his wardrobe...a little extreme for me..

♥♥♥We actually have our annual block party Saturday night (with booze of course.) Maybe I'll scope out the moms who aren't drinking and try to talk to them. It's more than just the drinking though- I want to find more people like myself- people on a spiritual path who want more out of life the the normal day to day business. I will start praying and visualizing and I know it will happen
Love you...

I’m very, very, veerery slowly getting back on my feet after my psychotic episode. Have to figure out what I need to stay sober and well, sane... loads of unfortunate things happened, will try to post about this later.
Thank you for all the PMs - haven’t read them yet, I’m too anxious and um... I don’t think I’ll ever read them, but it’s so kind of you all to care about this poor malfunctioning soul.
PS: turned out I passed all my stupid Uni stuff, tomorrow’s our degree show, but I’m not sure if I want to go - my leg is still pretty messed up - you wouldn’t believe... and I drank yesterday. 100% sure I’m gonna drink tomorrow night if I go... eh whatevs!
Love to all. Gonna start posting more soon. I need to rest.
