learning to talk - sober

Yes Redh, you're right - we can't solve all their problems but listening is important to them. One of my sons who was in yesterday with all his worries called in this evening and I think even HE had forgotten what he had been worried about, I think they just offload on the 'olds'!!
I also love the concept of 'purposefully changed my (negative) thoughts', I just experimented here and do you know it actually worked! Don't know if it always will but thanks for the plan!
Have a nice night:thanks:

learning to talk - sober

Hi Spud, Molly & everyone!

This is interesting! Thinking back to a year ago when I first gave up my wine habit ............
I just didn't talk to anyone!!!!
I 'talked' here on MWO non-stop but I didn't really talk to anyone in person or on the phone for a couple of months. I was so busy mentally examining everything I felt it was safer to stay quiet!!!

Give yourselves a little time - you will feel comfortable simply conversing with people again
