Just finished stage one of my Christmas presents. It's weird that I bought ingredients to fill 30 tins and bought 30 tins without even doing the math. It's just kinda ended up working out that way. Now I have to make labels and seal them up

Then it's on to the marshmallows

Nice pup.

So this chick said something at my meeting tonight that's on my head. She goes "I have a big problem when I'm dating when a guy asks me why I don't drink - I always say it's my heart or some medication..." She said she doesn't bring it up "for a while" when she's seeing a guy??!!!

Is that a turnoff? Being sober I mean. If I say "I'm a sober alcoholic" does that set off alarms? I'm genuinely curious here. Because that's something I've mentioned in any personal ad I've placed and it was in my OKCupid profile too... Scratchchin

To my mind it's the most important thing I could tell anyone. It's why I want to meet for coffee or activities instead of going for drinks or to a club. And if I concealed it "for a while" and told you later, wouldn't you be mad?

Is it scary to know I haven't had a drink in almost 6 years?

Well of course I find it completely respectable and honest. That's what I will do in the future when it comes time.

When I was in active addiction, I'd automatically blow off non drinkers, guys in recovery, or pretty much social drinkers. And if they had any common sense, they'd have split anyway- unless they were a glutton for punishment? laugh out loud

If a person isn't going to want to be with you for who you really are, would you want to be with them? Acceptance! I'm not embarrassed who I am. I'm proud of the steps I've taken (Roll) to be a better person and I'm not going to be embarrassed of it. Aren't we supposed to be done lying and hiding?

Yeah, they have those cross-cut "cottage" fries. I like 'em with mayo. It's a habit I picked up from the Belgian company I worked for, twenty years ago.

And I'm not implying advertise it, but say you are a non drinker and if they ask, tell them so. No war stories or whatever but I'd Just say I like myself better when I stay sober and follow a program of recovery.

gender differences perhaps? i could see why a woman would choose to be "safe" with the above response

with men, i don't know if there is suchnegativity as being a sober alcoholic. women generally are more forgiving/understanding of such matters, imHo

I wish I could just browse a catalog, add a girl to my cart and go check out. Dating is hard.
