It was mixed feelings I’m afraid. The best friend of the one wich the party was given for took me aside. Told me that his best friend was very unhappy with the fact I’m going to get married but without inviting him ore others.
It upset me to hear that. He told me he didn’t liked it, but not how much. It sounded like a big “thing” right now. It made me sad.
So tonight I’m going to talk to him and his wife and hope to clear the air between us. Not that I’m going to change the way I marry, but hope to make clear it has nothing to do with not loving him ore wanting him around me.

Monday comes around far too quick and the winds have picked up again, but after a lovely weekend am ready. Pilates this evening, and try to eat more healthy this week after the lovely, naughty food I ate this week.
@Jennajen well done on sticking to your guns at the party and lovely you have such supportive friends
@paper_boats congratulations on 5 months of sobriety amazing work especially when you are going through heartbreak, keep doing what you doing
@Kacialyn congratulations on 3 weeks those first few weeks are so hard, personally I have steered away from relationships as all focus was on keeping sober. The feelings will go away, with sobriety you do get clarity, good luck at your meeting.
@Mno great sky have a good day
@Butterflymoonwoman well done on 1 week so deserved.
Have a strong 24 hrs all
Day 559
Very nearly majorly fucked up TWICE today (with work, not with staying sober). Just noticed in time both times and got away with it. Phew! But doubting my ability to be trusted with anything atm.
Sorry but that makes me a bit mad. You do this for you and your (soon to be) husband. You don’t need this BS. They should be able to put their self centered feelings to the side and be happy for you. Hope talking about it helps. Love and hugs friend.
Checking in sober and hang-over free.
Finished my first night shift, so gone get some sleep soon.
When I was still drinking I would have a few beers after my night shift before I went to bed. Now I will drink tea and wait till I get tired and have some quality sleep instead of waking up and feeling terrible.
I didn’t smoke for 2 weeks, and really happy about this
Have a nice sober day my friends

Got my girlfriend with me to support me if the night get’s to hard. But I have faith in myself.

Yes, I’m in it with you Menno. A bit mad and irritated myself. But going to try to put that emotions beside me tonight and hope I can get him do the talking to get the heat out of it.
And maybe give some space for his ego as well.
I do not gonna let this spoil our day!
Grateful to have made it to 2 months again after my relapse in December.
Have a blessed day everyone
Day 998 alcohol free
Day 007 cigarette free
Feel abit nervous approaching the quad digits, I’m abit paranoid about complacency and being comfortable. But I think it can be a healthy paranoia to have… have been spending more time on here and started back at meetings last week. Felt good to be back… it’s another reminder that life doesn’t miraculously become all perfect and roses when we stop drinking but we do accumulate healthier tools to manage and cope with life…
Today was the hardest day with no cigarettes, just the ‘headfk’ side of things, its such a mental challenge breaking free from the habit but I’ve got through today. And tomorrow I’ll get through it again. ODAAT
Today’s feels
I’ve gone from wanting to kill people in a restaurant with their glasses of red wine to just feeling very slight fleeting “damn you” lol, I I spoke with my sponsor this morning and she said it’s just the alcoholic in me being a little envious that I can’t be “like that”
Anyway we were away for the weekend and did loads of socializing and it really wasn’t a major at all.
Someone was trying to get me a beer and eventually I just said “I don’t drink thanks” I felt so empowered and bad ass. lol
I’ve eNever liked beer so that was probably a good thing too.
I laughed SO much this weekend. Proof that I don’t need the alcohol. Slowly but surely I am feeling so much joy washing over me.
All I can say is WOW… I feel good!!
Feeling a bit uncomfortable about not having tobacco today, but I’m huffing the vape, gotta go in for a lab practical in a bit, maybe feeling a bit anxious about the week and overloading my mind with all the stuff that’s going to happen this week. Day at a time
It takes time to sort it all out. Maybe months. Early sobriety isn’t a good time for big relationship decisions unless it’s getting out of abuse. I think meetings will help. Sit with that regret a bit and forgive yourself before moving on anything.
Happ Monday! Feeling very positive right now. Making some moves in my business that I hope will pay off. Have a great sober day my friends!
Good morning everyone. Day 185 AF. hope everyone has a good week. Take care!
@Dazercat Congratulations on your first old fuck discount! One of the perks I list every years for getting older is that I’m that much closer to getting a senior discount. You have offically made it.
@Charlie_C Nice job on the TV. I’ve been thinking about how I want to set up a floating TV/gaming center, and debating on if I want to try and do it myself or hire someone. Have you done that before? Was it time consuming?
@paper_boats five months is five months. I’m somewhat apathetic over milestones too and finally I just decided not to bother. If I wake up clean and go to bed clean, then I’ve won the day, and I guess in a way that’s the only thing that really matters.
@SoberWalker When I got married, I apparently hurt so many people’s feelings by the way I decided to do things. Who was or was not included in this or that, or whose name was where, as if my getting hitched had anything to do with anyone else. Good luck with clearing the air. It’s your life and this is about you and your soon-to-be, and no one else. I don’t know why some people need to make these types of events about them.
Day 96
