Evening all
Firstly AFM - sorry to hear this but dont' dwell on it, you can't change the past , just pick yourself up and start again - the worst thing you can do is dwell on it and continue drinking because you "blew it" on this one occasion.
In response to the question posed at the start of the thread - yes definitely I was more cranky at the beginning but this is just because you are aware of your surroundings, not just anaesthetising yourself to life's problems. Work through it, take things slowly, - something I don't practice what I preach! There's lots of good adivice on here.
Mary - stories of your dinner parties never cease to amaze me - you must have willpower of steel!! We rarely have people over for dinner in a big way but I find it hard if people do visit our home and drink - a lot harder than I do to stay sober in someone else's home. Hope you don't mind my asking, but do any of these people comment that you're not drinking? and if so what do you say. I find it harder to come up with excuses (eg I'm driving!) if it's in my own home particularly on a weekend when both normal and problem drinkers would think it perfectly acceptable to have a drink - or two!
Had a good day today, been to church with the kids, swam later on -pool very busy - I prefer it first thing at 7.30 when it opens. My daughter (aged 4) has been desperate to go to a Pizza Hut for a while so we did this for lunch today and had a nice family day out.
Will check back later
