I have 18 days of sobriety so I am a real newby. Last night at our womens meeting, we discussed the importance of keeping our memories "green". Meaning we need to remember the crappy stuff, as it will help us to not drink again. If we only think of the good drinking times, we are more likely to take a drink. Other than that, we do focus on the here and now. Each day I remain sober, I am more excited about my sober future. Thanks for blogging, I look forward to reading more of your story!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4763877266715908242.post-34233913580934724252015-06-19T09:33:39.929-07:002015-06-19T09:33:39.929-07:00A school induction with wine!!!

I used to be impressed however with the school fete which sold beer and wine. The first school fete I'd seen with booze. Needless to say I attended every year ... For the tombola of course not the wine. And did I go home afterwards like most people ... did I heck ... We'd go to the pub after go carry on drinking!!!exploring something elsehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18219025240966527047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4763877266715908242.post-39621665491586431192015-06-17T04:38:45.667-07:002015-06-17T04:38:45.667-07:00I'm reading it too SM!

It talks about living one day at a time....and finding your spiritual journey..... Great read. You can read it online for free! <br />Love this post! I've been a little lost and it feels good to know that I have a sober blogging twin.... wink wink..... <br />hugs....<br />Jeannette<br />Sober Mommyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07649895813093622930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4763877266715908242.post-35349842155714899992015-06-17T03:45:48.063-07:002015-06-17T03:45:48.063-07:00You're right, Anne.

It's in the city centre so probably easiest to take bus but will take car to make sure I don't drink if tempted although I feel quite strong at the moment. These sorts of nights out always ended in total carnage so am looking forward to trying it out sober. And maybe even networking for my (hopefully soon) return to work.

They are a powerful tool.<br />I think everyone should go to an AA meeting at some point just to experience it. Millions of people use the steps. You might as well check out the group you belong to!<br /><br />I am definitely not an AA lover. But letting go of anger and resentment, forgiving myself, and letting go and letting God (the universe, the source, etc) has transformed me.<br /><br />I'm glad you didn't give in. The wine witch is just checking in. She is probably proud of you too.Ainsobrietyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15642935819165465190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4763877266715908242.post-74031943334740261992015-06-16T05:59:27.664-07:002015-06-16T05:59:27.664-07:00Fab post.

I appreciated the taste of the food and it felt abit like a first date as I didn't have wittering wine giving me verbal diarrhea and false confidence. I actually found myself smiling at the couple next to us (who were my parents age) as they slurred their way through their meal. So glad it wasn't me making a drunken show of myself. xLushNoMorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04018195957277312286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4763877266715908242.post-51594817939018140422015-06-16T04:44:50.267-07:002015-06-16T04:44:50.267-07:00Wonderfully positive post.
