First meeting tonight
Permalink  

I hadn't planned on doing anything tonight, but AH is acting...weird.  Didn't got to work, laying in bed all day, throwing himself a pity party.  Whatever.  Gotta take care of me, getting out of the house sounds good, and there's a newcomer meeting tonight.  Sounds like it's all lined up just right.  I hope it goes well.

Best of luck Spider! I haven't been to a newcomers meeting, but one of my FG members described it the other day. It should be very good!

Update: I'm surprised - first meeting went really well. I expected to have to go to a few different ones before finding a good fit for me. Everyone was very warm and welcoming, and I will likely stick with this bunch. One of the chairs even joked about her first meeting, and how she thought they were just out to sell the books. They also seemed really surprised when I told them about the forums and online meetings and all that, and I said when I came next week I'd share the info. Some of them really need to reach out more than once and week, and it feels good to be able to help in that small way.

Came back to AH passed out on the bathroom floor.  Nice.  I just looked at him and said, 'Really?  We're back to this again?'  He said he didn't need that s***.  I said I didn't either and walked away, left him right where he was lying.  He said not to run away, and I said, 'I'm not running away, I'm just not picking you up.'  And I didn't.  Drinking has consequences.  Deal with it.
