Welcome back to your sobriety and to the site, @Juli1 … you were missed. I’m glad you’re stopped. Romanticizing it, feeling disappointed and it got you. I’m glad you have released yourself from the clutches! Yay. Big hugs

@Scorpn Im such a piss poor wrapper, hang in there. My kids are older do all that wrapping eventually turned into gift cards.
There are so many sober people just trying to get through the holidays. I was on TLC online meetings last night with a couple hundred of my sober buddies spread out across this planet. We are not alone. Connection is key.

#Day 1559 
I had such a good day yesterday! 
My kids where home and the vibe was soooo good! We cooked all together (so the kitchen exploded)
After that we ate our delicious meal and unwrapped the gifts we bought for eachother.
Just wanna share this feeling with you all, hope your Christmas is a good one too.
Thank you for being here. I know we are all here for ourselfs, but you are also helping others like me by just be here and listen!

Checking in 1 week AF
I almost slipped yesterday again before the one week mark.
My grandmother passed away last night on Christmas Eve.
I was offered a drink twice when visiting the family. I said no.
Came home to an empty house, and the thoughts continued to creep up about going to the store.
Instead I took some meds and went to sleep around 8pm sober on Xmas eve, and just woke up sober, on Xmas day.

Welcome back. Glad you didn’t stay on the other side for too long. Never any judgement from 99% of the people here. Most have been there multiple times. Glad you’re here.

Checking in day 112! Merry Christmas to those who celebrate 
My partner is in his detox and I’m still in post-Covid quarantine (but feeling much better, just tired) so it’s a lonely Christmas for the most part. I woke up and caught up on notes for my part time job. I’m also technically on call for my full time job but would have to do responses virtually if needed (but I anticipate it being quiet). I’m hoping to do some more cleaning and finding something to watch. Very different kind of Christmas this year, grateful for my cats and dog. But no urge to drink. Wishing everyone a very merry, sober Christmas
