I didn’t have time over the weekend to read and journal. After the meeting on Friday night, I decided to go out and have a drink. Does that make me a hypocrite? Also, is it wrong for me to find several of the members of the AA meeting attractive? After the meeting, I ran back to Gwynn’s to pick up some things I left there, then home to walk the dog, then went out to the AB. I had one and hung out with some of the other regulars. By the time I got home, though I was exhausted so I did not re-read or journal.
Saturday, I worked around the house, after running errands to pick up pet supplies. But, ended up leaving earlier than planned to have dinner with my mom and niece. We had to go to Wal-Mart so I could by a new vacuum cleaner.
After dinner I headed to Target’s house for his BBQ. Jeff and Ellen, Rowina, John, the other AB regulars were there, and then Joe (one of the AB bartenders) and his girlfriend, and Kayla (my hair dresser) and her boyfriend (a former AB bartender) showed up. Rodney (an AB bartender, and my current crush) was suppose to show up, but didn’t. I didn’t get home until almost 1, so I didn’t feel like reading and reflecting.
Sunday, I finished working around the house, before I headed off for a play with my mother, my aunt Judy and her friend. The play lasted much longer than we thought, and I didn’t get home until after 11. At that point, I had to finish a project for the online class I am teaching, and didn’t get finished until almost 1, again, I didn’t feel like reading and reflecting.
So, now that I am caught up with things – I think, I am going to get all the reading caught up this evening.

You do NOT need to feel like a hyprocrite for going out for a drink while struggling with alcoholics in your life.
If you have a handle on your drinking, you do not have a problem. Just keep in mind that when you talk to your sister or cousin about things they do that are wrong, do not say things that indicate that drinking is wrong in itself. Focus on their behavior and how they treat other people due to their drinking.
