Big Book of AA.
Ah yes ok thank you
Yes! I dit! I bought it after reading her blogs on the internet. I loved this book and I love her aditute about coming out the closet with her alcohol problem.
Thanks ! I fell asleep too early last night to read anymore but that’s no bad thing ! Getting to sleep quite easily now. Will look forward to getting hooked on this book
I’m taking this book on holiday with me next week. Looking forward to reading it since a lot of people have recommended it on here.
How do I find them I clicked on determined working mum in your message but it just brought me to her profile thanks x
Hello! I was just telling this user that we are discussing this book. What do you want to find?
I’m on here now
I guess it is obvious from my username that I am a busy working mom. A lot of my business day is spent in my car, and my evenings have traditionally been much like the authors. Juggling around my 3 children, 2 still of toddler age. Cleaning up the food they have thrown all over the floor after dinner before getting them cleaned up and wrestling them to bed. I don’t usually have a chance to read at night, so I got the audiobook of this. I started listening to it in my car yesterday while I was traveling to and from appointments. I LOVE this book. It is so true and completely relatable. It is comforting to know there are other moms out there with this same inner struggle with the wine witch. I just got through the part of the book where she goes to a dinner party for the first time without drinking. I have a benefit I am going to this weekend that I had signed up to bartend at. It is definitely going to be a test of willpower, but I know I can do it. I have been around this group that is hosting it this weekend, usually drinking. I am interested to see how it goes without me drinking this time. I am usually 4 or 5 drinks in by the time we leave. I am certain I am going to have an epiphany moment like she had at that dinner party, realizing that everyone else is surprisingly sober. Perhaps I will have meaningful conversations there for once though. There are still people that go to these things that I am embarrassed to say I don’t even remember meeting or talking to half the time, so they always have to reintroduce themselves and I pretend like I remember them but give them the, “I’m really terrible with names,” excuse…
Sorry I thought you were telling me how tovfund a discussion with other members discussing same book. Sorry for confusion x
Good luck please let us know how it goes. I’m only on page 25 but can identify with it already . Happy sober Wednesday
No worries. I love the book. Let me know what you think!
So true about everyone else not being drunk. The few occasions I have had out I realise I must have always been the drunkest.
I am also noticing that for some friends, they spend their whole week sober and I am their friend to get drunk with, which they do only once a week/ fortnight. But in fact, once being told I am not drinking, are perfectly happy not to. They can find a new drunk friend! Some people i imagine will be relieved and happy for the break.
