    Stared my past in the face tonight........scary.

    My friend and I walk our dogs together each night after dark, and tonight was no different, only it was.........

    We met up with 2 other women we know, who were also out walking their dogs, so there we were, just 4 women, out walking their canine friends, only one of those 4 women was drunk. I really like her.......she`s normally well-spoken and funny as hell, only tonight she talked a load of nonsense and didn`t come across as anything like her true self.

    All I could think was.........I used to be her and she wasn`t pretty and neither was, I once upon a time. Only, I don`t feel in the least big smug that I`ve left all that behind me. I`m simply damn lucky. I am also immensely grateful that I`ve been one of the damn lucky ones.

    I wish that you all be damn lucky..........

      Star, I've had a couple of experiences like that with friends/aquaintances myself. It gives new meaning to the word "sobering" doesn't it?

        I have gone out and saw my friends getting wasted, and I remember when I got that wasted, and I feel good to not be like that anymore. It really shines during those times that I don't miss getting drunk, being drunk, getting wasted, being wasted, making an arse out of myself, doing stupid stuff (like walk home wasted, I only did it with the pub and did it once when I was really tired but wasn't as drunk as I normally get), and I defiantly don't miss being hungover (and the varying stages of a hangover and degrees). I love my sober life too much to drink again. I never want to be drunk ever again.
        I quit drinking on March 8, 2020. Taking it One Day At A Time and no more taking my quit for granted.

        Also doing it for me. I got to stay sober for me.

        Just consecrate on today and do what you can to remain sober for today and worry about staying sober tomorrow, tomorrow.
