Thanks kev for that post! We must be on same page coz I brought up this same issue to my therapist last wk. Told her I can’t believe I’m getting older but have no friends per say. Made her understand I wasn’t talking bout people in AA like sponsor or anyone I fellowship w/ before & after mtgs. I don’t see anyone outside of that nor @ work. I want to have conversations but can’t stand childish talk, body functions etc I know there’s more than recovery so if it’s about sports then let it be on what we can both feed upon, if women then keep it civil( hope I’m not being too demanding or prude that’s just me)
She did ask me as an assignment what may have happened in childhood & later that caused this. Most of my life, I’ve been a loner & guess that’s why booze seemed comforting to me. I’m sure God will provide me w/ them since He created me to be in relationships
24 pls

Good to meet you Mike. I went to the 9/11 Memorial on 2nd November 2016 - which incidentally is the day I stopped drinking. I was in New York celebrating our 10th wedding anniversary and on 1 November I ruined a beautiful evening by getting drunk and behaving like an idiot. On 2 November I felt full of shame and self-loathing but as soon as we got to the Memorial, everything changed. I live in London and was 6 months pregnant on a tube train during the terrorist attacks in 2005. I don't know anyone who was killed or affected personally by 9/11 but I do understand the indescriminate, random nature of these attacks ..... it crosses my mind every day I travel to and from work. The 9/11 Memorial was perhaps the most emotional place I have ever visited. The sense of peace combined with strength and unbroken resilience is hard for me to describe. Actions speak louder than words. I visited the Memorial and never drank alcohol again. All those innocent people went to work that morning and never came home. All those brave firefighters risked and lost their lives. Life is precious. ... the most precious of gifts. I'm not spending another moment of mine drunk. Its good to reflect.... it's good to remember. I'm thinking of everyone affected by that tragedy today.
And Kev, are there any meditation/mindfulness groups near you? People that go to those groups tend to be authentic .... they're interested in learning about self-improvement and people like that are always good to know. Love to everyone and 24 more for me please xxxx
