Day 63. Coffee at camp site. First night of festival was very nice. Liked Electronic Guzzi best, sort of Kraftwerk meets Underworld in 2019. Was great to experience it all sober. They also have some great juices here. Ginger my favourite so far. Idles playing tonight, let’s bring it on! Have a great sober Friday all.

Checking in.
Day: 61.
“Do not give your past the power to define your future.”
It’s going to be a tough day today.
My ex, father of son who abandoned us 4 years ago, after 10 years together for a whole new family, and MAJOR trigger, is coming up today to see our son (its been a year since he’s made an effort).
In the past this would have sent me straight to the liquor store. He does not have that power over me now. I will get through this with a smile on my face.
I have never put him down or spoken ill of him to our son, who still holds him on a pedestal even though he makes no effort to see him or even talk to him.
I have been the one to dry my son’s tears when his father has made false promises and disappoints him. I have picked him up and reassured him he is loved and valued beyond words.
sigh It has been a long, arduous journey but I am here today, still standing, sober and proud of my trials because they have made me stronger and wiser.
I just have to remember: “Accept what is, let go of what was, and have faith in what will be.”

I agree, and often feel the same way. I don’t mind dealing with drunk people (although I’d really rather not), but getting roped into conversations that you know don’t have much value at the end of the day can be annoying.
The approach I take in this scenario is to just not invest as much energy into the conversation. If they’re drunk, chances are they’ll love doing most of the talking, and I just let 'em run with it.
What you wrote also made me realize something I don’t like, when he apologized for what he sent you because he was drunk. I can’t stand when being drunk is used as an excuse. “Sober you” made the choice to get drunk, which means you’re responsible for “drunk you” and whatever actions you take. Thats part of the deal. Maybe it’s judgemental of me, I don’t know.
Anyhow…just my 2 cents. Glad to read your post, Lea – you just keep on growing!
