The womens meet consisted of one person BUT HEY its was a step in the right direction actually pitching and meeting someone with the same issues. Went to the club afterwards and onto my friends pup, out til 1 drinking sodas. Was ok. One friend kept saying I was boring and tried to shove booze my way, my close friend who owns the pub was so warm and supportive and kept telling me how proud she was of me, it made me quite emotional inside in a happy way. Reading the scriptures and opening my eyes to lots of new concepts. Only day 3 sober and I know I've yet to hit a hard day, and I tend to be on a high or very low BUT I'm going to keep writing here and believe God.

Elizabeth, that's great that you went to a meeting. As for the pub thing, it might not be the best place to frequent when you're trying to get sober. And remember that those people that tell you you are boring and to have a drink, are NOT being good friends. If they admitted you had a problem, that would mean they have a problem too. So instead, they'd rather throw a drink in your face. Stay strong!! Being sober is not being boring. Being sober is about dealing with reality.When life is more than you can stand...kneel.Comment

Hi Elizabeth, Ever thought that these people who are drinking and trying to ply you with drinks are actually jealous?
Social drinkers or controlled drinkers or not, we're all on the same slippery path pouring poison down our throats... they just havent got to our stage yet where we DO something about it.?I am playing all the right notes... But not necessarily in the right order.....?

Hi Elizabeth
Day 3 and Well Done to you!
It must have been really hard going to the pub as well!
Those people that try and shove drink onto you get really
boring after awhile. I'm sure that in time it will get easier
for you, the early days are so rocky but great that you got
to the meeting even if only one other person was there.
Keep close to your faith Elizabeth it will help you.:lPanComment

Elizabeth - you know I love you so much. Day 3 is fabulous. I know what a strong woman you are. Remember I am always here for you. I'm sorry your "friends" were trying to pour alcohol down your throat. With time, either they will learn to respect your choice and stop that behavior, or you will learn that they don't care enough about you to respect your choice to save your life. Only time will tell what type of friends they are. You must stay true to yourself.

Well done Elizabeth!!
It is wonderful to see you becoming so positive. You can do this ODAT. As for the people trying to give you alcohol, all I can say is Misery Loves Company. Your "true" friends would not do that to you. Go with God and you will be safe. Also, come here to see us. We care."Decide-Which Voice in Your Head you Can Keep Alive" (Shinedown)Comment

Good job...but.... please be careful in where you spend your time...
My hubby makes wine and I know not to spend time where it is stored or be around when it is "tasting" time.
