    ODAT - Friday

    Good morning everyone

    Looks like poor Bessie is still up to her eyes. Well done on moderating especially under all the pressure. I know that is one of my triggers. I feel I need to reward myself, problem is I reward myself too well. Congratulations to you too Universal. Peer pressure is a pain at any age. I have a social occasion coming up next week-end. I'm ok during the day as I need to drive my daughter somewhere and go back and pick her up again. However, I know that later on I will be put under pressure. I'm seriously trying to loose weight at the moment so I'm thinking of using the excuse of doing a 7 day detox to help it along and cannot touch alcohol. None of my friends know that I have an alcohol problem and have never seen me drunk!!

    Cindi you are doing amazing also. How is your daughter? I am keeping you in my thoughts and prayers. Everyone else a big hello and have a great week-end.

      RU, thank you for your prayers. They are so appreciated. Things are still not going well with daughter but the Serenity Prayer helps a lot and I keep reiterating to her that I am here for her anytime she needs me. I also asked that she call me when she is sober and not drinking.

      Bessie, Good Luck!! I would imagine the guests expect working toilets (loos) when they arrive. :H Don't let the stress cause you to overdrink. Okay?

      Everyone else, please have a wonderful day and I pray each and everyone of you reach your goals today, whatever they may be.

      Love,
      Cindi

        Goodmoring Rustop and Bessie, hope you all have a great weekend! I have a friend coming over tonight, she does not drink much, her boyfriend and my husband do though, but I am pretty confident I will be ok (praying I will be). She knows I am trying to quit. Bessie take a mental vacation for about 5 minutes, maybe visit Aruba or Jamacia, sounds like you need it.

              Hello hello - happy friday everyone.

              So Bessie - aside from taking care of all of those critters you have a B & B or something?
              amazing! well good luck with your finalizations - I will say (from a terminal procrastinator) sometimes being under the gun helps things get done - then of course you're exhausted and maybe cranky

              Cindi - keep up the good fight! It's extra hard dealing with your daughter too.

              Rustop - I used to resent when my kids had evening things that cut into my drinking time - how shitty is that? Now I volunteer to be the driver, it helps keep me on the straight and narrow.

              Have fun with your friends twosox and hope that you feel better soon lvt


              Story time:

              Yesterday I was at the liquor store getting some beer for my husband. It's perhaps the second time that I've been in a liquor store since I've been AF... I found that it was different this time... previously I would have eyes down, scurrying to get my stash replenished, and scurry out. I didn't loiter, but I wasn't being furtive - that was different. (the shame)

              Anyway, there was this shady character by the refrigerator getting one small bottle of something - a hard lemonade or something - when I pulled up behind him in the checkout, I recoiled - he STANK of alcohol - no question but that he was already soused. His transaction was wordless. I said something to the checkout person, and he said "Oh yeah? well if he comes back I won't sell him anything else." (it was 10 am) Then I looked out the window and the person was driving away. And it was a rental car.

              I feel horrible that I didn't write down his license, I hope that he didn't kill anyone.

              Plus I was taken aback at how much more aware I was of my surroundings at that moment.

              Have a great weekend everyone
