It had to happen. Day 40 and the witch was back.
A stressful evening. We invited a business associate over with his wife (they are also friends) to discuss how our business is going, and what the future holds. It started off well, but we ran into some areas of disagreement.
I found myself eyeing up the bottle of red wine that they had bought with them. I was sipping on a glass of soda water.
As we got further into the debate, I tuned out a little......and
"go on, just one glass, there's only one bottle, so it's not as if you will be drinking much"
I watched as my friend helped herself to another glass and....(shrieking now)
"be quick, be quick....or she'll finish it!!!"
Oh boy, I'm not in Kansas anymore. I had another soda water.
They finally left. There was a third of the bottle left. My husband watched me as I poured it down the sink.
"There", said the Good Witch.....
"It was in you all the time"
xx.
As a girl from Kansas, I applaud your starring role as the Good Witch! Now click those ruby slippers and repeat after me, "There's no place like sobriety. There's no place like sobriety."
