Good morning.
I had a lovely catch up yesterday with some dear friends and no alcohol 😲 (well most of them drank but I didn't). I have been re evaluating my attitude to alcohol recently and finally realised that alcohol doesn't make me or other people wittier or better company and is an optional extra to enjoying a social occasion. It is the people and surroundings that matter. Yesterday I chose not to drink, next time I go out I may have a drink. The point is it was my friends' company I went for and enjoyed, alcohol was irrelevant.
13/21 please cathybird. Thank you. X

"I don't want to be that tipsy woman on the train who falls asleep and misses her stop 😕. "

It'd make a fun read on a Sunday though!  "I meant to get off in Aberdeen and ended up in Torquay!"   

This made me chuckle, I have a friend who lived in England and woke up in Wales after a boozy night

11 for today please had a long day. Spent time with family and also been getting some things done on the work front that always winds up getting left. Absolutely whacked now so bed shortly.

@marahouti really powerful post thank you def made me think. I don't have many people left in my life either through my own ruining of relationships or ones I've had to lose contact with to stay off the self destructive stuff - recently been finding those still left in my life I really enjoy being in the company of and don't need to get !!!!!! up to enjoy spending time with them.
