Hey you hold your head up high and dont let peoples remarks and comments get to you okay 
It is just their opinion and there opinion does not make then right.
You do work hard, and you know this in your heart. Try not to let them get you down. Litrally let it go through one ear and out the other and dont acknowledge it.
Im off to bed but you know who you are, you know you dont deserve to be spoken to like this and you know your a better person for just not taking notice.
Im thinking of you xx 
thank you 
Why are you there? You donāt have to be there.
Agreed; family gets boundaries too. Especially that creep. Iām so sorry you have to deal with that. 
big hugs, hun.
So sorry it is such a hard day. Why do you have to sit next to that man? Is there a seating plan or something?! Retreat to a safe space as soon as you can.
I live with my parents so i would never hear the end of it if I didnāt go. I almost feel worse when I donāt go. I donāt know why. I hate them but Iām completely alone without them. my grandpa is amazing, the rest are shit
thank youā¤ļø Iām trying to learn boundaries I just donāt know how at this point
no seating plan but I just shut down. I donāt know how to stand up for myself anymore.
Can you leave? Iād come down with diarrhea or something, 
Hey @Butterflymoonwoman thanks for checking on me. Still sober 
family get together was fun and everyone had a good time. NO BOOZE! My brother didnt even drink. And i made an amends to my sister in lawā¦10 years ago i needed her to vouch for me with my probation officer after my dui and asked her to not tell my brother. That was unfair of me. Hoping to make an amends with my sister tmrw over coffee. I tried to hit up my regular in person aa mtg but was disappointed, nobody was there. Overall, good sober day
I canāt drive. so Iād have to drag my mom home and Iād just get yelled at. I know itās dumb and nonsensical. I just gave up with them I guess
Second check in. Day 531. Absolutely crazy day with my partnerās gigantic extended family. So loud. So many people. I feel totally overstimulated. Now most everyone has left and the kids are watching a movie and I am lying by myself in the dark listening to the blissful silence. Tons of booze around but I wasnāt ever tempted. Did you know thereās now alcoholic Mountain Dew? Well that looks fuckin gross 
. Anyway, hope everyone is well. @SadMemeQueen I am sorry you are having a bad time. Your family is being awful. Take good care of yourself.
proud of you for not being tempted! also yes alcoholic mountain dew sounds gross. thank youā¤ļø doing my best
thank youā¤ļø
This makes me happy to hear that things went well! Sounds like it even went better than expected with the amends and no booze around! Sounds like a nice thanksgiving
Oh man, how incredibly awful they are being. Makes me mad to hear this. I hope ur night gets better once this is over. Hugs 
Day 45. So grateful to be sober today and fully present with my nieces (5 years old and 1.5 months old) We are painting ornaments, dancing and eating our weight in delicious food.
Hope everyone has a good evening, holiday can be really tough. Please reach out if you need to, youāre never alone
Hey! I get overstimulated as well. I have to have my down and quiet time. Didnāt used to be that way, but Iām glad to have it now.
Day 404 AF
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
Quick check in.
