This post is written for Friday Fictioneers.
The fog was lifting as she looked out her kitchen window.
Thirty days ago she woke up from her own little fog of a nightmare. When THAT fog lifted she did not know where she was or who was the person beside her in bed. She noticed her special red dress beside the nightstand.
Quickly dressing, and without disturbing her bed mate, she left the room.
She walked two blocks before she could hail a cab.
She made a pledge that this was the last time this would happen.
Tonight, at the meeting, she would pick up her silver chip.
Oh Danny Boy! 
If it’s been a month, she has a great chance of succeeding. Well done, Danny. 🙂 — Suzanne

Kind of wish I knew her before she took the pledge (Just kidding!)

Am glad that she has sorted herself out so that that sort of thing never happens again 🙂

I’m glad she’s found the strength to find help. I hope she manages to stay sober, not an easy thing.
