Merry Christmas, yâall! I got up and took Max for a long walk, spoke with both my parents on the phone and then made cheesecake for the very first time. Itâs been a quiet day, which is exactly what I needed. I hope everyone had a good time today, got some rest if thatâs what they needed.
@anon27760155, Iâm so sorry to hear about your knee. Please take good care of yourself while you heal up.
@RosaCanDo, migranes suck. I hope yours passes and you are feeling better soon.
@FeelingBetter, hurray for six weeks! Iâm so happy for you!
@Tomek, way to go on 50 days!
@Drave, almost a month! Thatâs awesome!
Thank you to everyone on this thread! Youâve all been so supportive of me as Iâve ridden the struggle bus through these first three months of sobriety. Coming here each day helps me immeasurably.

Merry Christmas @TSan
Congratulations on your 90 days. What a great gift to yourself for Christmas.
Pretty quiet low key for us too. At least we got a zoom with our kids. And a walk with the dogs.
Keep up the great work.

Checking in on 724 not really feeling the spirit of Christmas. I donât really care for the holidays and tend to isolate and not want to answer my phone. The bike (motorcycle) ride got me out of my house and out of my head itâs just what I needed⌠I figured I would have to write motorcycle cause a lot of you actually ride bikes and thatâs just to much work for me lol⌠I hope all of you had a blessed day/night.

@anon27760155 That sucks!
@I.cant.We.can Gorgeous!
Donât know if it is because I was busy and forgot my meds yesterday, or if it was expectations indeed becoming resentments, but yesterday evening was a bit poo. Today, the 26th, is the day we properly celebrate together. Gonna try and keep expectations in check.

Back on Day 1. I wasnât sure that today would be a sober one until my mother, who rarely drinks and knows I have been working on sobriety for a long while, brought me a gift box of Baileyâs. I stopped drinking yesterday when she brought it. I was only a couple of beers in but it brought to mind how much she doesnât want me to be better and that pissed me off.
Many of us know that anger is a secondary emotion and usually tied to something else. What was it? Disappointment? Hurt? I donât think itâs hurt. She is a difficult person in my life, that is for sure. She didnât know Iâd been drinking at all. Last time we talked about it, I shared that I was doing well and still taking it one day at a time.
I donât understand her and I have to accept that I never will. All I know is that when I saw that box, I was like, âOh. Hell NO. I donât drink.â So I will thank her for flipping a switch.

28 Days! This is my first sober Christmas in a loooong time (except or a solitary meditation retreat I did a few years ago over the holidays). It was a leisurely day. No holiday family obligations so I just stayed home with my boyfriend and dog, ate snacks, watched movies, cooked three homemade (yes, three pizzas for two people, haha), and just taking it easy. My bf is not drinking this holiday either, so thatâs cool to be doing it with someone.
I know the holidays can be tough on sobriety. I was determined to not relapse like I did Thanksgiving week and Iâm proud of myself. I hope everyone is staying strong in their own way

Day 196 clean and sober today. Just a quick check in and I know for sure I wonât be able to respond to everyone so I apologize in advance. I wanted to let you know that Iâm home now and the kidney I had surgery on is infected and the sent me home with a drain line to keep the pressure off of my spinal nerves and to help drain the infection. Thank you to everyone for all the thoughts and prayers! Merry Christmas I love you guys!!!

Day 179.
A lovely day. For all that 2020 has not been, it has been good for pushing reset on life - first by getting sober, and then all the spill over (with fewer actual spills!) effects, like holidays. It might have been a harder day for me were there the usual triggering family dynamics to navigate, or events with well-meaning pals and lotsa wine, but for today I wasnât challenged. Just happy in my home and on my trails.
We did it, friends. Gânight and big love to all. 
To quote Tiny Tim âGod bless us, every oneâ. 
@Joy I just got caught up⌠so sorry itâs a hard time of year for you. You do a lot to support us and share your joy! and I hope you feel some comfort in the midst of it all
@Lisa07 glad to hear things worked out, but i hope you get some help with your daughter soon.
@RosaCanDo
