OK! 1 day AF!!

[oldser]

Had a really embarrasing Sunday. Family in from out of town, coming for dinner. Started working in the garage, promised I wouldn't drink that day. Well, just one can't hurt, can it? Of course I got sloshed, went to bed before the guests arrived and I didn't even know they were here. Totally humiliated AGAIN. Won't see them for some time now.
Checked the garage this morning, found the bottle not yet empty. You know how that is, when you really don't want a drink and you find a 'treasure' like that?? "What the hell, I can't waste it!"
BUT! I spilled it out and came to work. First AF this time around, and getting counselling next week to support MWO.
It's really good to have you all in my corner. I have to go to AA, but I've been there several times, 'white-chipping' myself silly. I have a problem with so many of the superior types in AA who really look down on people still struggling. Even their own "How it works" says we are not perfect. None of us are able to adhere to these principles 100%. Yet they assume that smug superiority and drive me out of there.

I am so grateful for RJ and the program and all of you fellow strugglers! THANK YOU and watch for my 2AF announcement........

Hi oldser,:welcome:

please, don't take any notice of the 'superior types' in AA, if they are so perfect why are they there in the 1st place - why? because they are just like us.

Someone told me that if another person thinks they are perfect, superior, better than me I should imagine them sitting on the toilet !! - works for me.:H

WELL DONE on 1 day AF, it isn't easy but you have made the first step, just take one day at a time and it soon adds up, we are here to catch you if you trip.:l

Brilliant, let us know about 2AF, I'll be looking out.
Luv, Angellina -x-

Oldser, that kind of start gives you a really good feeling, despite what you went through the night before, doesn't it? I know many times in the past I would wake up the next morning and wonder if there was any left - but for you to dump it took a lot of courage and willpower.

Keep checking in with us and let us know how it is going. BTW, if Ybor City could talk, it would tell a few tall tales about me!!
