So Im sitting here tonight all alone because hubby's working and kids are at sleepovers (scared at first because I knew I'd be alone tonight and the last time I drank I was in the same situation...Home alone.....Had to pick up my daughter from cheering at a basketball game and slightly tempted that I'd hit the liquor store as would have happened in the past! But didnt and was prepared NOT to! Thank God!!! So, figured I'd waste some time online until it was time to go to bed...... Stayed sober, yea!!! Hate that feeling of even thinking such thoughts! But anyways,,,
The whole point of the story....Get a call from a girl in the program I slighty know. Met her at two meetings and had lunch once......She says. .."hate to ask you this but......" She's leaving her current boyfriend and is planning on spending the night with a new guy (she's know him for a while I guess)
Asks if her boyfriend calls me would I lie and say she spent the night at my house! I asked her if she was leaving him, why would she have to lie. Tells me some story about her car being in his name,,,,,yadda,yadda....I really didnt know what to say!!!! Should have had the guts to tell her no way!! What the hell!!!! I did tell her that if some random call came thru I wouldnt answer it! How unfair of her to do that! Its one thing to share a big secret with someone in confidence but to have me lie for her!!??? Right???? Now Im feeling bad for sharing things with people that I need to share with the person its affecting..... But on the other hand, Im not asking this person to lie for me.....See how being dishonest can mess with the mind!!!!! Dang, Im kinda mad!!!! Oh well, pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death!!! Amen!!! (blame that one on my catholic upbring!!!) Please dont leave me alone again!!! haha -Well, I guess this is better than drinking.......(you guys might not agree!) Thanks, Lani

My perspective.....think I mightv'e reminded her that part of AA is dealing with honesty. And then told her that by asking you to do such a thing was putting your program in jeapordy.
Lani, I am mad now, that someone tried to put you up to this. Makes me sad. But I am glad that you were able to spend the evening alone and sober. I hope you had a great breather from the kids, hubby, etc... and were able to RELAX. I don't know what I would do without the alone time I have. It really rejuvenates me. You will get used to it, believe me, and one day you will be BEGGING for everyone to get out of the house!! lol
