Me too. 2020 was personally quite a good year, there were struggles, but if I add it up, I was more sober than not, and I have grown emotionally and spiritually.

Day 707
My 2nd clean and sober Christmas. It was a real challenge managing life coming up to Christmas, and I was very cautious that if I was feeling crap during the holidays, I may be setting myself up. Luckily I was surrounded by other recovering addicts and I made a conscious effort to deal with these problematic feelings before Christmas. New years is probably my biggest trigger more so than Christmas. I wont quantum leap and stay present.
Those who had there first sober and clean Christmasā¦ Congratulations. Those who did notā¦ dont give up and stay connected. Take care everyone

Thanks for the support and the encouragement! It really was great to have my boyfriend go without alcohol the last two days as well. He does still drink but has drastically reduced since I stopped. I am ok with him if he wants to drink at home but he rarely does. He even had two beers the other day with a friend and when he came home he said his tolerance was so low that he felt really tired and kind of sick afterward. Seems like he is starting to preferr not drinking to drinking. Itās nice to be sober together. Iām glad we can have a good time without alcohol even though it was such a constant in our relationship for years.

2nd check in todayā¦ Ive put my phone on airplane mode till after new years eve. Best to be safe than sorry with accidentally picking up phone calls that could lead to relapse as it occured that way last timeā¦ On a brighter note, ive had a lovely chilled boxing day Saturday. Iām now home all showered and in my pjās by 6.30 pm and Iām watching the BEST new Pixar movie. Its called soulā¦ Its brilliant. Its all about how we incarnate and our souls roles on earth. Its a brilliant film to teach young kids about how reality forms etc. Its a Pixar film, but its a must see for adults!!

Covid is the best thing to ever happen to me, people at work tell me not to say it but I canāt lie. 24 hour zoom meetings, online sponsor, I donāt go out much, I donāt like lots of company, my Mrs lost her job and got a better one, she is happier, we have more money, Iām sober, Iāve had more time to do things round the house Iāve been putting off for years and my wellbeing and life to work balance are spot on. OK experienced a few more deaths than normal but none of us are immortal and my new spiritual side puts all that into context. So all in all mustnāt grumble.

Change your thinking JenĆ©. Whateverās wrong with your mother and your relationship itās not the reason you picked up last night. I am glad you are here now. Taking your life in your own hands. One day at a time. You can do this. Hugs.

- Itās tweede kerstdag (second Christmas day) here. Traditionally a day to go to a garden centre, home decoration shopping centre or the in laws. Thank god weāre in lockdown and I donāt have in laws. Iāll stay home and digest two nights of Christmas dinners. Sober and clean. The first night I was triggered a bit by my friend drinking bubbles. Last night with sis was fine. I had some zero procent sparkling stuff myself. I know itās not for everybody but it worked for me. Anyway, happy to leave this behind. Just Oud en Nieuw (New Yearās Eve) to go. Will be an interesting one. Iām sure to make it through clean and sober. Because thatās the way I live my life. Which is the right and good way for me. Have a good day all. Love from a grey Amsterdam.

Hi Rob,
That is a bastard of a Christmas present to get! I hope you recover quickly and carry on with being a Piscean soon. 
Checking in alcohol free day 5. It is a lovely, partly sunny and windy here in my hometown, so almost perfect condition for 10 K long slow distance run.
Have a nice day beautiful people, be nice and stay calm.

I forgot to mention, that from the start of 2021 Iāll be journaling.
This will help me in the process of self reflecting.
Does anyone have any good tips for journaling?
