blah blah blah
I found someone to work on my car. Its a repair business in town, they will actually let me make payments until it's paid for. Yay!I missed last saturday's meeting, it was just getting to be too much having to deal with "B", the guy there that keeps hitting on me. Touching me, talking in my face. Smiling at me like some dumb little puppy without a brain. The only thing that could ever upset me enough to want a drink again, is this guy doing what he was doing. He was in safeway one day, and as I shopped, he kept putting his hand on my back, I found it very offensive, but was too uncomfortable to say anything. I had told him before, that no I would not go out with him, and no i dont date. and no, men shouldnt just grab a woman and hug her, or touch her.but, he has ignored my every word. While I shopped, I kept moving away from him, but he kept trying to get closer. At the time, I did not know how to deal with it.So, I stewed on it, and after a couple days, I was searching on the internet for "how to" ideas of how to deal with it. I had gotten an email from him, saying that he missed me saturday, but always smiles when he thinks of me. I am his ray of sunshine or some such crap.I replied.I told him I am tired of men touching me, especially after i have said I am not interested. you see, this guy was not going to give up.his return email indicated that he thought I was talking about someone else. Talk about denial.so, yesterday, I replied to that too, to let him know it included him too. Praise God, I havent heard from him yet today. I have heard about thirteen stepping, now I know how uncomfortable it makes a person. The LAST thing i went to A.A. for, was to meet a man.I went for the only reason I think most go........to get sober, and stay sober. How I wish we had a ladies only meeting here. We had one in my home town, and it was wonderful. A lot more things got talked about there. There are some days, I just cant stomach the thought of being harrassed again. My sobriety depends on being able to attend a meeting when I want, so I cant let this stop me. however, if he trys to touch me again, I am going to get LOUD. That should put a stop to his B.S. So, today, my son is going to walk across town with me, and we shall get the tow truck to take the car to the shop. This is very exciting. Now that all my bad thoughts are behind me, I can focus on what needs to get done.Thank you Daily Strength friends, for letting me get things out.God Bless, have a wonderful day.

Hi there, well you have told him nicely, I guess now you have to be firm. But dont let it keep you from going to meetings, and yes your going to have to be blunt and loud about it too. Are there any other meetings in that town......... Thats too bad that you have to take it to that level....... Hang in there...
Thanx, yes, there is a meeting every night, but he goes to all of them, so I have no choice but to stand up for myself. He is never going to touch me again. Please God, let him find a girlfriend. lol.
