The irony is with such a busy nocturnal schedule, probably the only way you will get through it is sober.

Thanks everyone. I survived the first hurdle - just! My work friends had decorated our table at the restaurant so the waiters were taking extra special care of me, including bringing over 2 flaming sambucas for everyone - I managed to get out of it but oooohhhhh that smell!
Now for tonight! And if anything is going to drive a girl to drink its my family! Onwards and upwards. X

Keep your focus espkie - remember why you're doing this recovery thing...and remember it's the first drink that always does the damage,...so resist

Better to say ! I can cope, rather than I hope I can cope. Be positive, think how good you feel when you get through it all.

I know its tolate now but if its your birthday tell them you dont want to do anything. I had a good stretch of sobriety right up until my birthday last year. I fell off the wagon and got run over by it. My birthday is in 11 days and I will be at AA and on here. I will be eating fattening ass food too. After my relapse I am so lucky to be seeing #37 that Im not going to screw it up with alcohol.

I like that tomsteve. My only escape plan is to not join in where there is alcohol being served. Im a weakling though

Happy Birthday weekend epskie.That is a lot of celebrating.

You only have to stay away from one drink,the first one.

Have an escape plan for all those events,you may need it.

Wishing you continued sobriety.
