There is NO good ending for us if we drink! It's ALL bad! So stay the course like you've been doing and you will be SO HAPPY you did! Besides, what's ONE drink going to do for us anyway? As 3June says, if just one, then why not none? Words to live by!!

Byrdlady, that never occurred to me but it makes total sense -- I bet you do see new folks in bigger numbers after holidays. That's a profound thought to me for some reason...all those complete strangers who will hit rock bottom and don't know it yet.

It was a beautiful day where I'm at. Took the day off and reconnected with a woman who used to be my best friend until about 3 years ago, when I traded her in for a bottle. I pushed her away because it was too hard to maintain my friendship with both her and AL at the same time. Her husband is an alkie and I didn't want her to know I had a problem, so made up excuses whenever she invited me to hang out until finally she stopped trying. I had the day off and called her, and we walked for 5 miles through the woods by a lovely creek and I told her...and it was okay. I'm so grateful for this second chance at getting people I love back into my life.

Now onto my brother, whose family is coming up this weekend. I'm dreading that conversation but will figure it out (thanks to some good advice from Frances!)

Congrats to all of the "newbier" newbies - Rooniferd, BB, ToMyHealth, Orimus, Kailey, Daisy...you can all do this! Hang tight this weekend, all.
