Worrying that meeting up with friends at 6 on a Friday means all plans for Saturday are trashed!

Hi [MENTION=16892]westiesrock[/MENTION]! Why not walk into the daylight with us here! It is so much brighter. And it can
be yours!

SSD - I am alcohol free. That's why I don't have to deal with that any more - as per the thread title. I'd also appreciate any other comments you have being of a supportive tone rather than a preachy one.

All the best.

Its great waking up & not thinking you are carrying the whole world on your shoulders, waking up with the anxiety & worry of what I did & say last night & how will I get my Beer today.

Hi ssd858!
Thanks for reaching out to me! I was AF for three years. Now living in a beach community which has proven to be a HUGE challenge to be AF. Wish I never had that glass of wine with the "crew a year and a half ago Need to get back on the site...it was my savior 4 years ago. I can do it again.

[MENTION=16892]westiesrock[/MENTION]: 3 years is so great! I, too live in a beach community and the daily wine hour is a
tough one to avoid. We have some neighbors that walk the block each night with their wine glass!
I make my fake mimosa with fresh oj and tonic and mostly feel good. At close to 60 days my brain
has been playing tricks on me trying to entertain that "just one" which I know is not possible.

Happy to have you back!

Hi Westiesrock,
Glad you are back. I have been sober for 3 years, thank you for reminding me how easy it is to have that 'one drink'. It never is just one eh? That is the problem for us.

Hang in there, you can do it again. It's worth it. Just focus on today, don't drink today.

Re: Things we don't have to deal with anymore

I have no idea how you found me. Was quite surprised when I received your email. I so regret going back to drinking after 3 yrs AF. Guess each of us has to figure that out for ourselves. Am still drinking but want so much to be AF again. It is a very difficult environment living in "party city" but it will destroy me.

Re: Things we don't have to deal with anymore

Thank you so much!
Yes that 1st drink after 3 years felt so good. BUT it quickly escalated, even beyond my prior drinking...similar to Birdies story...what she says is true...too bad we don't listen.
