Day 31 and Beyond: Hello, I'm a non-drinker

Thanks, Believe. I'm actually starting to relax already. Been here a little over 2 hours now. We sat on the deck and I grilled steak, swordfish, scallops, asparagus and a big portabello mushroom cap. We enjoyed every bite in peace and quiet while watching the sun set on the lake. It was actually breakfast for me seeing how once again I didn't eat all day! Yikes! I'm not going to worry about that now.

Sorry you have to work all w/e. I hope you can squeeze in some enjoyment.

Love, Me

Hi eveyone,

Thankful that sunset on the lake sounds lovely wish i could be there and the food. Ive always wanted to live near a lake and mountains. Oh well at least the sun is out today where i am. Today i have got to go to brother house then catch up with all my ironing, just hate that job and if the sun is still out i shall sit in my garden and enjoy!

Enjoy your weekend everyone.x

Take it easy.

Day 31 and Beyond: Hello, I'm a non-drinker

UGGGGGGG! I'm back home!!! :upset: Drove into the yard last night to find all 3 drunk and sitting around the fire pit. No dinner made (they were obviously too busy). No help with getting things brought in (because they can barely walk). Nice homecoming, but a typical evening, so why do I let it get to me over and over again? Shouldn't I just be used to it by now?

Ok, ok. I am going to try and deal with things better. I can not change people, but I can change with how I deal with them, and maybe that's the key. I can not look to other people to try and make my life better if they can not even get their own life in order. I guess I am doomed to just deal with the drunks, the messes, the fights until I can get myself out of this situation. I have to regroup and change my way of thinking if I am going to keep my sanity. Lordy, are these people in for a rude awakening when my niece is off to college!

Anyway, thanks again for being my rock folks. You all mean the world to me.

Love, Me

Man that sucks Thankful, DAMMIT! I get pissed just reading it, I can totally relate though, you're definatley not alone in your frustration. We all have to deal with drunks on an ongoing basis. But thats ok. Keep in mind the huge goal we've accomplished, all our homies here on this thread as well as everyone who is currently AF. What we're pulling off, what we've managed since, when, January? I think thats bigger than winning the Superbowl and its what keeps me going when I'm frustrated by the fact that the rest of the world will only acknowledge my accomplishment by (seeminly) going out of its way to show a complete lack of respect for it.

Don't sweat it Thankful. We got our new reality here, some of its in our control but some ain't. Its a better reality than the one we just came from so we might as well make ourselves comfy. Best we can anyway

Hello all my fellow Sober buddies,

Yes, Liv, I couldn't agree more. It is awesome that this thread is growing with people who have found sobriety. I hope we get more everyday.

Thought I'd share my horoscope for today. I don't usually take stock in these, but sometimes they really do hit the nail on the head. It light of my last past, I thought this was one....

Scorpio
October 23 - November 21
Don't worry about not being on the right path, dear Scorpio, because you are. You seem to be always in the right place at the right time and there is no need to feel regret or shame about things that have happened in the past. Turn negative experiences into lessons for a better future. Even though you may not be able to change a certain situation, you can at least change your reaction to the situation.



Thank you for all your support guys. I means the world to me.

Hope you all have a great day. Love ya!

Love, Me
