Still sober somehow
Well here I am. 20 days into this sober thing again and I have not had a drink. I came home from work early tonight. The guys I was working with tonight were two that I was not with when I had my relapse. They were talking about drinking and getting drunk. I asked them to please stop and they insisted that they want to take me out this weekend sometime for a drink. I explained to them that I am a recovering alcoholic and that I can't go with them. Of course they kept on and on. I have been extremely depressed and I decided that I just didn't feel like I could stay so I called in help early and I left and came home. They called wanting to come out this weekend and have a big party out here at my place. I explained to them that I could not do that. They insist that they are going to come out and get me drunk and make me feel better. I don't want this waved in my face so I hope they do not show up out here. Maybe it will keep raining and they won't show up. Anyway....Still depressed but I am taking my new meds. Maybe they will kick in soon. My plans for my weekend that started when I clocked out this morning are to stay in my room in bed under the covers all weekend. Can't get in trouble if I am in bed right?

Your doing so well by not picking up..that would just compound how low you are feeling. Those blokes need telling; if you dont feel strong enough to say so is there anyone else that could say a firm NO on your behalf? Sometimes being under the covers seems just the right thing to do, and probably sometimes it is, but is it this time? How about staying around and chatting this weekend, going for a little walk one day and chatting some more? There is always one of us on-line to talk with...always! xx
