It's 1:00am and I just got back from Mike & Meagan's Wedding. All in all, I had a good time. I am still not that comfortable in social situations that I used to drink, and drink heavily. Unfortunately, that's most social situations. But I sat with some familiar faces, and met someone in the cult who was a date of another cult member, and we conversed for much of the evening. I also hung out with my sponsor a little, he was in the Wedding Party. I talked with MIke more than Meagan, durring the reception, and he was very intoxicated, but not beligerant at all, and was a congenial drunk. I even was able to conversate with drunk people, and not be resentful, or judging, or snide rude or condisending. I think I was more anxious about not knowing hardly anyone there, then I was about all the drinking. It's still difficult to be non-judgemental about drinking & drinkers, because of all the misery I caused myself while addicted to the drink, but I made it through, and even managed to have a good time to boot.
A guy from the Geneva meeting called me on the way to the Wedding. I am going to ride to his house tommorow morning, and work as a piano mover! It's about a 8 mile ride to his house, then I get to move pianos! FUN! But I really need a job, so I couldn't pass it up. Also, the guy who was upset at the Geneva meeting, that I ment to call today, but forgot, called ME! I was very good to hear from him, and as I suspected, he was just having a shitty day, and wanted to talk to me, about what happened on Thursday. He's a good guy, and I am very glad to see he's feeling better, and also the fact that he called me shows me how he works his program. He saw a situation where he thought he was in the wrong (even though it wasn't like that, he just fell pray to being human when I could see it) and he promptly admited it, and made the amends. The Cult in action is a wonderful thing. It was in action at the wedding, getting me a job, the phone call, my lack of mental disease when I know just a few short months ago, being at a wedding was a nightmare senario.... it was a good day, very confirming, that it's worth it.
That said, I have to get to friggin sleep! I have a long bike ride before I can go move pianos!
