Day 1100,
Starting to prepare my diner. Trying to let the feelings be. My brother and parents will be together tonight. It is what it is. Wondering what they even think, especially my mother. I can’t control others though. Might go to a meeting, but that feels so sadly. That’s what my head tells me at least. If it’s dry I might take a walk through town with my camera. But also need to check myself there. Christmas Eve was the most horrible before I got sober. Hit it quit hard in the bars that were open. Have a plan for the rest of the days, but not for this one.
Merry Christmas

@garry sorry for the hard day – sucks when everything is closed . This place really helps when I get bored – you can scroll the threads or join in on the “just for fun” threads. I do try to do in home workouts – You Tube has many awesome videos for whatever type of workout you are into. Depending on weather you could go for a walk or a drive and check out the decorations. Sending you comfort and love today – hope the day has been going well for you.
@earnit So sorry to hear about your accident Jene. I do hope that you are healing well and are able to make a full recovery.

Merry Christmas 
to all of you who are already celebrating
It’s bedtime on Christmas eve here. I had a great day. We made a gingerbread house and baked cookies in the morning. In the afternoon we watched Polar Express 3D in the cinema. Some food prep for the big day tomorrow is done as well. Santa can come!
I’m excited for tomorrow. Usually my Christmas morning would start with a bottle of champagne instead of coffee and while cooking the turkey I would start on the wine (bottles), then the after dinner drinks, the boozy hot chocolates in the afternoon, the gin and tonics with the xmas movie and then for good measure a few more glasses of wine before bed…
Tomorrow will be different and I like it.

One of my goals for 2024 is to make an effort to post daily on this thread. Even if it’s just a quick check in. So I’m starting now.
I’m fully prepped & looking forward to tomorrow. We are hosting Christmas dinner. My guests are welcome to drink, I’m comfortable with it. I’m looking forward to being fully present for my sons, the magic of the day and of course a scrummy dinner!
Merry Christmas my lovely friends X
