MY NEW FAMILY

This is a great family! And it's true, we can come here and share all of our horrid, AL secrets cause chances are, we aren't alone. It is so nice to be able to come here and post and not feel judged, but instead supported in our quest for sobriety.

Love you all!

I agree Spuddleduck - the support we all find here makes such a difference, whether it's our first day or we've been here awhile! I'm glad you found us, and I am glad I found this place when I needed it. :h

Well you do know that Newcastle was the 6th biggest party city in the world 'til last June.
Then I stopped drinking and it's gone down the table a bit.

I've been to Glasgow once for a big night out. They make the Geordies look like light weights.

Haven't been posting for a while was feeling really blue so thought this was a nice pleasant little thread to come in on. Spuddle you're so right this is like another family except no secrets, Mario, I agree, without this place I couldn't do this. Chillgirl, yeah the party friends soon disappear don't they? Unfortunately my 'real' friends have disappeared also, I suppose I have become boring, but at least I'm sober! 50 days today :yay:

worried about being boring.. my partner (bless him) said there is nothing more boring than me pissed.. passing out.. repeating myself... being incoherent and just generally a pain in the ass. hmm thinking about that i cant disagree. I THINK THE PARTY WAS ALL IN MY HEAD.. LA LA LA

:H:H:H

Especially in the last few years of my drinking, my husband used to tell me I was becoming a "mean / mad drunk." I would be like...HUH??? Then I would say things like - well, if YOU would just stop pissing me off, I would be happy! (because of course I took NO responsibility for my own behavior and EVERYTHING was somebody else's fault....)

Funny - now that I don't drink any more, we NEVER have loud upsetting arguments, and we rarely even disagree. And we laugh. A lot.

I think the party was all in my head too! :lalala:

I really love this place! I'm spending most of my time here because I truly feel accepted, understood and cared about. The first time I drank, I felt so much like a hypocrita and felt ashamed to come back but everyone has been so encouraging and forgiving. Even last night when I slipped again, I felt so discouraged and defeated, but I am realizing that no one here judges you and that we are all part of a special family that I've felt and seen so much unconditional love, something I've never seen much of! I'm greatful to have found this place!

Hi Guys - Yes the party was definately in my head too! I can vaguely remember saying some completely random things and getting very strange looks, and how annoying when my boyfriend used to ask me "so you dont remember what you said to me last night?" in a haughty voice which obviously meant i'd offended him, then proceeded not to tell me.... Yea some party!

Lovely Thread! I have revealed a couple of drinking incidents only to hear people say "I did that too."

I am not alone any more.

Just need to add that I am 5'7" and blonde - although the blonde now is courtesy of L'Oreal.

And, I'm a Southern Softy - from London. But I'm married to a Northerner (Yorkshireman), so I hope you'll let me in. We tell people we have a "mixed race" marriage.

My son claims to be bi-lingual as he speaks Northern AND southern!
