Had a ROUGH extended weekend with my family who still over indulge quite a bit. Especially hard to be around with the sun shining and lawn games out. But made it through.
ODAAT, but looking forward to hitting 18 months next week!

Stay in the herd. Remember we are the alcoholics not them. Even if we think they are we have no right to say that.

Right on Kevin! I had to lean into my sober brothers & sisters. Really deep dive into the 12 steps. Had to become impervious to other people’s actions. My sobriety became my priority over finance, romance and even family.
With solid sobriety, I can have all of the above 
, without sobriety I lose it all.
Thanks for sharing. I’m here if you ever want to talk

Great job. I haven’t been with my family in almost 5 years because of the extent of their drinking. Open bottles everywhere and I decided I can’t and don’t want to be around any of it. I honestly don’t still trust myself. So better safe than sorry. I struggled with that but my life is worth more than going and being around all that booze.
For me I choose my recovery over everything. By choosing my recovery I am able to be around some of my family. And those that I can't or want understand what my recovery means. My God removes.
Way to stay strong Kevin
