Good morning
Whew, we made it!
I successfully got thru Christmas Eve and Christmas Day without alcohol. I’m not gonna lie, Christmas afternoon on the deck was somewhat haunted by the ghost of wine, but I shook her off and went for a walk.
And here I am up early just as I love and about to get that first taste of coffee.
I decided I love this rental spot in Tybee island so much that I reserved it for next year already! Merry Christmas to the hubby and me again. Shopping is done! Hehehe
Today we will get into Savannah for a boat tour and brunch I think.
Then more relaxing and eating some of the good food I cooked yesterday. This little house has an excellent kitchen, so that was fun for me.
I hope everyone feels peace today. I always feel a sense of relief when Christmas is over. Yup, I’m still very haunted by the ghost of Christmas anxiety. I’m not sure that will ever go away.
Day 26! Wonderful Sober Christmas. Thanking my Higher Power and this forum for your prayers and support. Ready for another serene day. Hitting a virtual meeting now 30/90. Great day all.,,
I don’t know ur family situation, how it would be accepted, but how about “owning” the anxiety? It is ok to be anxious, ok for others to notice. If someone says “u seem off” say “yes, I am feeling a bit overwhelmed” or whatever. Brene Brown’s book ‘the gift of imperfection’ was great about this. u drank because u felt anxiety was something to be ashamed of. it isn’t.
Morning all, checking in on day 41. Took a ride down to Jersey to spend the day with family for Xmas yesterday. Had a good time. Me and the wife drove home late last night, we left the kids there to hang out with their cousins for a couple days since everybody’s on Xmas break from school. They all drink but it’s like a couple beers or maybe a glass or two of wine, you know like responsible adults. I on the other hand woulda drank 20 beers, had shots, not even enjoy the food. And than have to rely on my wife to drive back cause I’m hammered. Wake up feeling shitty, etc. etc. Than just start the process all over again. I’m really thankful for the opportunity to be able to get sober, and for all of you for putting your shit out there, and providing inspiration and encouragement. Hope yous all had a great holiday. Much love.
Checking in 90 days sober. Cup of coffee in hand and putting together a little bagel spread, lox and all. My happy place. It’s my last day of vacation and with my family. We’re going to a little beach town called Dunedin. I hope everyone has a relaxing day
Day 83 Yesterday turned out shockingly, not horrible. I am grateful it’s done and over but it feels like I leveled up on a video game. Next level: New Years No worries. I didn’t drink yesterday and I ain’t drinking today or on New Years.
