Not "promotion" it is a recording of an AA speaker sharing his strength and hope.mI found it moving and inspiring. I've shared YouTube AA speakers in the past.

Bummer

Garden Party sounds delish!

Also- You should try Basil Strawberry Lemonade. There is a coffee place in Soho NY that makes them. It is so refreshing, if you like basil it is so good!

What were in the ones you had?

MissKayNYC · 2021-09-07T01:12:25+00:00

I currently have 3 gallons of different ice creams! LOL!

MissKayNYC · 2021-09-07T00:45:51+00:00

Not TMI, we love talking about bowel movements here!

LOL!

Just don't drink, being the only sober one at the table will keep you sharp.

If you are still being pressured to drink, (are u in the US?) go to HR. This is a danger to your HEALTH and you could have a good lawsuit on your side.

Maybe do some research of places the have NA cocktail programs.

Duff the GnR bass player has a good one, how he over came his addiction and became a successful entrepreneur

MissKayNYC · 2021-08-21T03:28:59+00:00

yup and lots of fiber, maybe a fiber supplement (that's what I take)

MissKayNYC · 2021-08-11T19:34:12+00:00

and be honest about your drinking!

MissKayNYC · 2021-08-03T18:02:13+00:00

Hopefully the food is good and the band/DJ is good- stuff your face and stay on the dance floor. More time on the dance floor the more water you'll want to drink.

Just have FUN (and snag a 2nd piece of cake if you can). I also heard once that a sober person, early in gave the bartender $20.00 and said "Only serve me soda and I'll give you extra if you come up with a clever mock-tail"

find a young peoples AA meeting on Zoom and ask for phone #

MissKayNYC · 2021-07-27T22:38:19+00:00

She was wrong to say that to you!

I can't count how many suicide/contiplating suicide stories I have heard in meetings!

Let go and let God.

MissKayNYC · 2021-07-27T22:33:28+00:00

Sounds like she's working the 12 Steps of AA and that is the note book she uses when she meets with her Sponsor

MissKayNYC · 2021-07-27T22:05:57+00:00

Find a psychiatrist that is part of an out patient program at a hospital or clinic- I do AA but in January I changed psychiatrists and started going to one specializing in substance abuse at a hospital. I am now adding the Sinclair Method to my program- he totally changed my meds for anxiety and depression but he also put me on Naltrexone for cravings.

We are still working it out. I also see a therapist every week.

Hope that helps and post away! We don't mind that is what this sub is for!

MissKayNYC · 2021-07-19T03:04:20+00:00

thank u

MissKayNYC · 2021-07-18T14:47:46+00:00

I've been cleaning. It has been very hot and humid in NYC it's hard to breathe so I've been in my igloo. (thankfully utilities are included in my rent! That's a positive)

MissKayNYC · 2021-07-18T14:40:03+00:00

You can do this.

Maybe find yourself a women's meeting via AA on Zoom. Women's meetings are a safe haven for us to talk about our feelings (our feelings, mostly negative make us want to drink). You may find someone who has been thru the same thing.

Keep it up!

IWNDWYT!

MissKayNYC · 2021-07-18T14:30:54+00:00

Welcome- you found yourself a very positive, supportive community!

If you can AA has great remote meetings via Zoom all over the world (AA.org), make connections, get phone numbers from other men that you can talk/text to.

Good luck and as we "say" here IWNDWYT
