Hi Stone,
It was rather odd really, I mean she asked me the day before and I said I didn't want a drink but then she brought some anyways, I didn't feel like I could tell her she couldn't drink, it would have still been sitting there whether she drank it or not since she brought it with her. I think she thought that I would drink it to be honest as that is what would have happened in the past.
Anyway I don't see her that often so the situation won't arise again in the near future.

Way to go on 11 days Saxony 
.
I don't know if I could've sat through the temptation. I hear what you're saying about not seeing this person in the future... but have you thought of what if? What if someone else comes by? I don't know... I think if someone just shows up with alcohol I'd tell them no drinking in the house period. Put it back in the car. How could they refuse? Other option is just tell them you have a headache and don't feel like hanging out and send them home.

Hi gypsy tears, I hear what your saying but to be honest it's not really a problem as apart from this one person I don't really have any freinds that visit 
lol but it's true, the only other person that visit's me is my mum occasionally but she is fully aware of my problems and wouldn't bring temptation my way anymore. She used too but I think she finally gets it now and only drinks when I am not around.

I'm glad your mum understands and gets it 
. I'm just saying maybe it's good to have a plan of what you'd say just in case. If you don't really see this person often though... shouldn't really come up again soon.
So you're feeling good today?

Feeling a bit crap to be honest lol Not sure why, but I wake up ok but by the afternoon I start feeling unwell, yesterday I had a headache all afteroon and evening, this afternoon I just feel zombified and really not with it at all, feels like my head is full of cotton wool or something, just feel like going to bed and crying my eyes out. I can't do that though as I have my 3 girls to look after, although they are all being very good at the moment thank goodness.
Saxony. Those weepy & cottony feelings pass if you hang in there.

Gee...Sax...
Look at you..
Your own thread...great!.
(Jules)
When I first joined here I remember reading a thread about finding Rusty Zipper a new avatar and I thought I'd entered a rather warped site-LOL. I then realised what it was all about-but it baffled me a bit initially.
I honestly have never laughed so hard in my life (except for Robin Williams stand
ups) ...
Hope you feel better soon Sax...
There is something I would like to say...re the friend who brought booze
into your home...is it possible..deep down you thought you might go ahead and
just have a drink? That is something I went through in very early sobriety..
made me real thirsty, and not for water. In AA we call it a "vicarious thrill"..
It creates an internal game of tug and war...
Please spare yourelf this kind of sress, next time you might say..
"I do not want to be around alcohol right now..it has made me sick".
(Wouldn't be lying...)
All my support and love to you Sax!
