Hey there!
Yes I got sober right after newyears (Jan 9th)
I still drank heavily last holiday season. Basically any seasonā¦ or month.
But these day here in my country you hear and see people talk about what kind of alcohol their gonna get for their parties,ā¦ I used to have those thoughts too

Oh cool, thatās so exciting! The ultrasounds now are so detailed compared to what we had back in the day, lol. Although I had one where I could see his little fist perfectly. And he had his hands in the way so we couldnāt see the sex, 
.
Iām so happy for you two!

Hi Jenna. Glad you checked in. @Jennajen
Got anything youāre grateful for? Iām on a gratefulness Crusade. Iām feeling that during these Holidays We just Stop! And think of all the things we are grateful for when we are sober. You can start with those lovely kittens. Leo and 
darn it canāt remember the name of the other one again. Grateful we are always here when needed. Much love here for ya.

@Jonachav123 Donāt beat yourself up for having these feelings, craving is totally natural, itās not a fault to have them. We crave for things we donāt have - how good is that we can do it for booze, because itās not in our lives anymore and not the other way round, so that we have booze and crave for the dignity of sober life.

@RosaCanDo Sending love your way. Please know Chucho has enjoyed am amazing life because of you and is very lucky to have you as his human. Hugs & kisses to both of you.
@anon60334405 So good to hear youāre feeling much better.
@MrsOdh Welcome back. I have missed your daily posts. Iām so sorry to hear of the tweenie troubles. My heart goes out to you and your family. Maintaining your sobriety during this time is something to be very proud of. Although not to such extremes I can relate to struggles of negative stepchildren. PM me anytime should you need to vent.
@marcusmaximus2000 WHOOP WHOOP. Those are some awesome numbers there. Wish I could have been at your meeting.
@Jonachav123 Play the scenario all the way through and Iām sure holiday drinks wonāt look so appealing. Stay strong, youāve got this.
@Rockstar24777 Take it easy my friend. Slow and steady is still a pace. Overdo it and youāll be sitting still.
189 days. Had a conversation with my partner that I surprised myself. He asked if I could have a baileyās and coffee or two and not want to drink the whole bottle or need it in my coffee the next morning. I told him itās not a matter of whether I could or not, the fact is I donāt want to. I donāt want to ever drink again. Iām happy identifying as a non drinker. Iām not going to drink today because I no longer drink.

Thank you guys. The cravings kind of passed.
I know I would regret drinking again as soon as that first sip hits my tongue.
I need to stay sober.

Day of today & Woke up thinking it was 3am, nope - 530, guess Iāll get up! Some coffee, some grocery shopping, returned some more packages from my online black Friday escapades (ops-haha), finally made my Xmas cards and got them in the mail - noticed the one without a stamp and fixed it (ongoing problem every year - haha), now making sweet/spicy nuts & snickerdoodles for my neighbors & co-workers. And itās only 1230! Man i feel good

Checking in, day 47. This evening I finished my last task for this year, I have some small tasks and invoices to issue left but they can be easily done during next week. I was so busy with work, that I havenāt really thought about holidays yet. Probably I will have some rest, have some family time, do some inner work and summarizing.
I hope you all are doing great!
Btw @TSan I have already wanted to ask but forgot: what will be your blog about?

I had an odd moment of an urge to bake, so I made steel cut oatmeal cookies. I had everything but brown sugar; theyāre pretty bland, lol.
So Iām bringing cookies to the TS party, 
Enjoy!
On another note, a few of you know Iāve been worried about my son; he sent me a nice text after he read an email I had sent. It was probably the nicest thing Iāve gotten or felt from him in awhile. It kinda made me release my breath, a big sigh.
Thanks for you all, my TS family.

happ christmas eve eve yāall 
its 5.30am. Iām awake. Today is a good day. Stay strong over these next few days friends. The pressure is on. Special mention to all yāall with kids and big families, sending you strength and patience! Lol 
its a crazy busy time if you have kids and family. For me, I donāt, so I enjoy christmas alone but use the time to do a some what audit of my year internally and I start my planning and organising for the coming year. Its kinda like an internal mind declutter for my self between Christmas and new years. A time to reflect on what I can improve on, what I want to accomplish, what goals I want to set etcā¦ Adulting 101 lol

Thanks buddy. This community is proving very helpful to me. I will say that today Iām struggling a bit. While I hate everything about alcohol and never want to return to it, I find myself almost fantasizing about moments in the past when I got so drunk. Getting alcohol is out of the question, but the mind game is something I really need to master
