That was so yummy @TAB. Thanks. 😊 Good to see you all here. Seems I missed a rip roaring party last night. Never mind. I did manage to catch up on some of my sleep debt.

Re: The Beer Garden
Hi @Former-Member. I've known him for about 3 years on an off. He's a recovering alcoholic. He's met me several times, I've tried to be as honest as I can about the alcohol. I initially encouraged his interaction with my daughter as she has no father and I thought he'd be a good model for her. I have just emailed him and told him off. I finished off saying how would he like it if no-one believed in him. It's a struggle not to drink, but day by day, I'm getting there. If my daughter had come over last night instead of phoning me, she would've seen I was sober. Because I was so tired and possibly a bit slow spoken on the phone, she's decided I was drunk. I always get a bit slow-spoken when I'm really tired. I have to concentrate harder when I'm tired, it's just me. I did tell him I was getting sick of the bull**** with this drink situation. I've been crying for a while over it. The hardest part is, I asked/begged him to support me on this and he's chosen to believe her. I told him she accused me of drinking, I told him I wasn't and now he's taking her word.

Re: The Beer Garden
I was just thinking @pip
Even if you did slip some day with the alcohol, you need someone to support you. Not someone to judge you. Good on you for telling him off.
How old is your daughter?
Mine hates me drinking. Hubby does too. 😡😮
Good on you for not drinking for weeks. It's not easy, I know.
I have to rush off now. Really sorry. School pick up time soon.
I'll be on later. I'd really like to hear how you're going.
Sending love and hugs. 😙💕

Re: The Beer Garden
Oh @pip that's awful !
I wouldn't chase after them too far ...... just keep it simple ..... email something like -
"You were wrong. I was just tired. You both owe me a huge apology !!"
Stand in your home turf an let them come to you imo ...., being polite, but nothin' else ..., until you feel recovered enough to step forward again .....
You go girl !! You're doing great ..,,, hugs n hugs ..... don't let it set you back 💗💕
