Wednesday, July 23, 2008 | An Anxious story
 I have got some pressure meeting new partners/families of my sons/daughter sober but i've arranged to meet up with my son and his girlfriend at Brands hatch race track (world touring cars) this weekend so that its easier to socialise. Next weekend i will be doing the same with my daughters boyfriend (world superbike) this time though. I wont have to sit in a room and get anxious and have thoughts of going to the offy when im supposed to be a sober respected man of the house, (Pressure) when im feeling like a shy little boy, god i hate socialising sober, i havn't done it for 30 years. I'M sure that being somewhere that i realy enjoy and where other things are going on around that it will all be ok. When i get past the next two weekends i will celebrate 6 months sober, sober !
