I'm fine & going to meetings. On the heels of returning from vacation, my son arrived for Thanks. It's been a whirlwind of stuff ever since. I'm not neglecting my reading & meetings, but it's been hard to get online to see all of you.
Mettings have been about the holidays lately. I shared the other night that I'm so much more relaxed about them in a sober state:
-no more worrying about how much I can drink.
-no more worrying about acting sober.
-no more worrying about keeping an adequate supply of booze.
-etc.
All I have to worry about now is preparing food & having a good time. The g-kids & I have fun trying different kinds of sodas & spritzers (w/a soda base).
I used to stress about how everyone would get along w/each other. That has also diminished w/sobriety. It really is amazing how we get a "new freedom & a new happiness." I don't have to engineer the perfect holiday for everyone.
I'll be back.
Mary
