i have heard many time that while we try to control our "Actions" that in reality sobriety is really a spiritual condition. I wonder, can we remind outselves often enough to check into our "spiritual condition" and accept surrender...

Staying mad about the barbecue is keeping you from moving forward.

Jstar like Anna and Opivotal I had times when I would go to an event/occasion and not drink, then come home wild with anger and drink heavily. Like Anna found I currently stay away from events that I know will trigger me, I don't care if people are going to get annoyed with me because my sobriety matters more. I'm at six months, I don't know when I will be ready to go to some things but, in the meantime, I'm sober and living my life happily. Nothing is taking this away from me.
