i won $500 at bingo the other night....so i bought our little apartment an new tv yesterday, and yesterday was my only day off so i spent it with my girls. Cooked them a nice supper and we watched a bunch of movies last night.
that old boyfriend that i did my last drinking spree with showed up yesterday ....i told him i don't want to drink!! he asked if i've been avoiding him. I saw his calls but didn't return them. I just don't know if i should be hanging out with him...at all. My daughter doesn't want me to.
well he goes to court next monday for a dui,his 4th one, and since he was charged he still drinks and drives.!!! He figures he just needs to cut down, not quit...sigh. I am powerless over others.
the buses are still on strike here, our mayor here is all gung ho about saving the meth addicts of our city, i've been thinking about calling him and reminding him that us addicts and alkies can't get to our meetings til they resolve their differences with the union, so get to those tables and get talking!!!!!
i told my sister that i drank a while ago, and she told my mom. I got an email from my mom, saying how she doesn't mind if i drink, just don't do drugs, well i mind, they still don't get it..
no drinking or drugs for me today!! sure felt good to spend that extra cash on something we could use instead of using!! And yes the thought crossed my mind for a minute, but only a minute. i did the right thing,
well i'm off to catch up on the posts, i wish you's a sober 24 and i'll take one for myself.
Ditto what Rick said about the boyfriend. My guy used to have a or 2 beer when we worked on his hotrod, I of course had a case or two ! Now, he doesn't even have A beer when I'm there. He was drinking one the other night when I pulled up and he poured it out! I know it ain't easy, girl, but do what's right for you and don't let him or anyone put you in a situation that could turn disaster.
Much love and lots of hugs
Doll
