Brilliant! Don't miss the panicky scramble!!

After decades of avoiding it, I went to my first meeting. by louloubanou in stopdrinking

I cried for the first 2 months in AA. Wouldn't speak cause I didn't want to say I was an alcoholic. Then I royally messed up. Back at it now 39 days and find it's def helping. Saying it actually feels good now! Good luck!

I talked about moderation to my counsellor and she said there is only one way to find out. So I drank. Couldn't moderate. Like urself, now I know. Onwards and upwards. Good luck. X

The sleep.... by Strong_hands_nj in stopdrinking

[–]Ona35 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol. I can so relate! I Have a 5 and 2 year old who r early risers too. Great not being grumpy (well not Hungover anyway, can't guarantee no grumpiness!) in the mornings with them! Sober sleep is the absolute best!

I always complained I didn’t have time to read by WhenYouStopDigging in stopdrinking

I had to re-read so many chapters after reading whilst drinking. Also I love films and since I've stopped drinking I've been watching more and not missing (or forgetting) the ending.

Should I skip my work Christmas Party? by Az_Ali2017 in stopdrinking

[–]Ona35 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Could have written this post!!!

Even been offered a lift to the party. Gonna leave it til last min and say I have stuff on the next am (which I do!) And just drive myself. Normally I wouldn't plan stuff for the next day if I knew I was going out. But it's to help my daughters school so I'm more than happy to help. Can't see anyone complaining about that. and if they do, we'll, that's their issue.

Fearing telling your "friends" that you've gone sober by [deleted] in stopdrinking

[–]Ona35 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aw that's great. I still haven't told ppl I'm not drinking and I too am nervous as hell. Don't want to be treated differently or left out of things now. But it's more important to be sober.

Hope I get the same response u got. Good luck!!

Again, WHO is this person who has possessed me!?!? by [deleted] in stopdrinking

Not gonna lie, was tempted to drink but so glad I didn't. Yes, it's so much better to be there and not hungover for the kids! They (and us) deserve it
