Hi everyone!

Long story short, the dinner went well and I got a cranberry juice. My friend got a lemonade. At the end, I did tell her that I was in AA. I wasn't planning on doing it but our conversation became a little deeper and I didn't want to hide it anymore. She said that she had noticed a change in me over the past few years but sees so much potential in me. (my depression/drinking got worse) i basically said that the main reason i am completely stuck in life at my age is that i am alcoholic. My friend is maybe 10 years older than me and is kind of a mentor figure and former colleague. She was extremely supportive and we walked and talked for maybe 1.5 hours after the dinner. I am definitely lucky to have this person in my life!
