One down, one to go
 
I was in my friend's wedding in NY this weekend and made it through without a scratch! It was great. I hit a meeting up there and hung out with some other non-drinkers, but still got funky on the dance floor with the normies. :danse1b:

I prayed extra-hard and brought God with me, because he is the only thing bigger than alcohol. I had a wonderful time and felt great in the mornings :)

My brother's wedding is next weekend in Miami, and I have renewed faith that I can make it through this one too (can't get cocky though... all the accolades belong to God). Anyone live there? Want to meet at a meeting?

What a wonderful feeling to truly enjoy such a blessed day without drowning in booze. I am so grateful. :)

Yeah so... the fiance IS a fraud. So. Much. Insanity. She faked everything. Photos, family history, wedding plans, everything. Shs is mentally ill. It's the most insane thing I have ever seen first hand.

It's a good thing that I am SOBER enough for him to believe me when I told him everything I found on her! My poor brother :(

She even faked 2 siblings in recovery for me to hang out with and go to meetings with. Unreal. I feel terrible about opening up to this phoney about my addiction history. It makes me ill to think that this woman knows all this about me.

It's so messed up. I thought I was getting AWAY from insanity by getting sober....
