i encourage you all to join me for some casual drinking, social lubrication and light laughter right here in the beer garden.
Oh and before anyone gets up in arms about alcohol and its dangers the main beer on tap is VB or virtual beer
beer is the third most commonly consumed drink in the world behind water and tea
why not share the worlds joy with friends

Hi @pip I'm in same boat re alcohol, but rarely dry for 2 weeks .. good on you!! .. sounds like bf seeing you as 'lesser' not to be trusted, not able.. why is he with you then? might be a while before you get an apology ie never from my experience.. sounds like he sees you as some sort of problem ..
my family talk about behind my back, sister doesnt talk to me anymore, just ;about' me .. she couldnt help herself having a shot at me about my memory the other day, yeah, like i memorised your biennial email word for word ..hmm ..no ..
..it's just rude and disrespectful. and cannot be discussed with person 'in question' as they dont know what they are saying apparently..
yes, alcohol, has made me who I am today, isolated me etc, but honestly, it's like a 'free kick' for nasty small minded people while they pretend they are concerned for poor hopeless person ..
haven't been to a meeting in years, but common theme is relationships, which is exactly what we need,well of some sort, are not a good idea while drinking
hope this is some use.
Been there.
Feel for you..
