This will be my first xmas not drinking. Feel pretty confident that the booze wont effect me as i have done well at a few xmas gatherings already. What are your thoughts guys and advice to get us all through the silly season…
I wanted a sober xmas for a long time and this is it. This year I will be sober.

I’m feeling confident that I CAN stay sober this Christmas…I just want to do it without it being noticed. I just do NOT want any questions. “Oh, I’m not drinking because I’m an alcoholic” is really not a sentence I want to say. So far I’ve been good. I’ve been keeping my hands full with a virgin cocktail to keep off suspicion. I’ve made a drink that looks like sparking white wine and I’ve been drinking lots of virgin “caesars”. The trick to it is to drink it in a wine glass. Even my daughter saw me yesterday with my “wine” and said “But mommy, you said you were’t going to drink wine anymore”. I assured her it was not wine which made her happy, and it made ME happy to know that it looked authentic. NEXT year I’ll be open about the no alcohol part.
