I was just thinking the other day about how, when were first starting out, we all wish we could be just normal drinkers. Now 6 years later I'm glad I don't drink at all and don't miss it one bit. A lot of drama gets avoided this way!
Congrats Sass!
Hope all is well!

I never wanted to be a normal drinker, but maybe that was because I didn't like alcohol. 
Really. Hated the stuff. I only drank to get blitzed, from day 1, when my parents innocently allowed us to have a small glass of liqueur. Of course I went back for more, and floated around the house like a fairy. I was 10.

I'm doing fine Babs, we bought a new-to-us car on Saturday, pick it up on Friday. It's a stick shift with a very feisty clutch when of recent years we've both driven automatics so it's going to be a little different until I get used to it! Our Spanish car is manual so I've some recent experience, but I imagine I will be kangarooing gone from Glasgow! 
Hope the appointments all go ok.

OH BABs honey......so so happy to hear that.....that you went. 
All of our problems are ours, so they are the biggest ones, you know? We have to deal with them, and I love that going to a meeting makes you feel the way I do....that hey, I am OK, just needed some centering, some realism inserted.....
I remember years ago in Melbourne in my favourite NA meeting (I used to go to NA at some stages...), there was a man who I came to love and respect. I have mentioned him on SR before.....he spent years in jail for manslaughter.....he accidentally ran over his child who was playing in the driveway. He was drunk, of course. This man went on to not only survive this but to get sober in jail and become an NA leader....well, in that he spent as much time as possible in the fellowship helping other recovering addicts.
So yes darling Babs, I hear you.

So much love xx

Letting go is not easy, especially when we feel anger and resentment, but it is necessary for our own positive sense of self. And believe me practise does make it easier.
