Sober (AF) September Challenge
Hi everyone!
Wow, Choice - how crazy was that?! And especially in front of people you don't know, where you can't exactly throw a wobbler :H You did so, so well - fair play to you x I do find it's much easier if people just don't offer - my dad still offers me wine (just out of habit) and I have to refuse, then it feels like a big deal cause I would ALWAYS say yes! Well done you on handling it so well :goodjob:
Sunbeam, thank you for starting this thread, it's a lovely bunch of people here
Chill, I have put those dates in my diary! I actually went searching on the threads last night (as I was too impatient to wait for your answer!) and saw Oney mention that you are thinking of going to the Mind Body festival too that weekend? is the meet up in the city centre? I will book somewhere to stay if it is Yay! Do you know the maddest thing? When you first mentioned a get together, my automatic response was to think of the pub, cause that's where groups of people normally meet - then I remembered "oh, none of us drink" :H Old patterns die hard...
Firefox, well done you - the way I see it, anything is better than AL, so a few extra biscuits isn't doing any harm. Plenty of time for working on the tummy later! I was at Pilates this morning, and boy does that really work your middle...
Witchy, I'm sorry to hear that. I've had to let go of a few friends over the past year, as the relationship just wasnt balanced. There are a lot of people too that I used to drink with, who I thought I was good friends with, but it turns out I wasn't, cause I dont want to drink any more. I think it's just life - people drift in and out of each other's lives, and sometimes we have to let go, or maybe just take a step back for a little while to reevaluate. Maybe don't make any big decisions about the friendship right now as you are going through a lot (i know, she should be there now!) but maybe lean on someone else for a while or lean here, then in time you'll know what's right.
Peace, have a good Monday and remember the urine!!! Hi anon, spinning, molly and overit, and all others to come today
Wow, I wrote an essay!!
