Social anxiety and fcuked up
So, after a great AF start to the year, the only other single mum in my daughter's new school class invited me over last night for drinks and takeaway (we've previously had 1 lunch together is all). All good, and then she said other people were coming = stranger danger! So somehow, my idiotic brain let me drink an ENTIRE bottle of wine at super-speed as I got ready to go. All good to start with when I got there- I was funny, sociable, maybe almost "normal". And then I woke up in my bed this morning. And somehow lost my glasses, put a hole in my top and cut my shoulder up big-time, and pissed myself. Why can't I be "normal"?!!

Luce.....learning curve, my dear, you are an alcoholic, accept this and STOP DRINKING.
Diabetics can't eat what they want.
Blind people can't drive.
Paraplegics can't pole vault.
Short people can't reach the top shelf without steps.
Accept the thing you CANNOT change.... That is the way to peace :h

It's not normal for normal people though is it, that's what I wish it could be. Oh I know, I've done AA and read and read and read, I'm very "enlightened" but still hope I'm the exception! Thing is, I've known since my mid-20s what I am, it's just such a struggle. And my social life is so minimal now as a 1-free-night-per-week single mum, I find it so hard to turn down offers cos I need to stay sober. But I really really do need to. I have no sociable plans now til 1st March so will try daily posting to help (if my phone ever comes back to life, otherwise will be weekends only!):upset:

Luce, let's say that 99% of problem drinkers/ALK can not go back to drinking normally. I won't say it's impossible just this time. So if you saw 99 people walking off the side of a cliff and all 99 died, would you take a step off that cliff?
If you are here, odds are you are on of us. It's not a bad thing. It's a good thing...we have a disease that has a cure!! It's a lot like being pregnant...you are or you aren't. Acceptance goes a long way to the cure!
We all WISH it weren't the case....but replace your wishbone with a backbone....it's the only way to fly!! Byrdie
