Addiction & Recovery

but I don't a lot of times). I usually bought diet coke by the case/12 pack for the party holders, so I had a ready supply of what I wanted to drink.

The problem I have is usually you almost always have someone (or multiple people) monopolizing the conversations, and you usually don't even get a chance to even say anything. I find this true in a lot of situations, and I do find a lot of people are pretty selfish about it, and it is kind of disappointing.

Some people are pretty good about letting others engage in the surrounding conversations, but a lot of people aren't so willing, to, I guess, give up the limelight.

I think you (bif) did pretty good, I'm sure your neighbor understood that everyone's situation is different, and was probably pretty happy you all showed, even if for a few minutes, nothing wrong w/ that. After all, not all of us knows one's schedule for the next day or so, you may have early morning appointments, etc.

Congrats on the 4-year anniversary, this is a major milestone. I only wish that those in my family that partook of the alcohol kept control and they too, went clean. They didn't and it unfortunately killed them (or helped kill them, the drinking).

Thanks for the update and I wish you the best!
