52 days sober!! It’s been easy going as I have taken time out from a lot of negative people but party season around the corner, I feel it’s going to get tough! I’m focusing on my goals and want to hit 60 days then 90days. But I’m worried with Xmas coming I will loose sight - Sometimes it helps to look at how far I’ve come to tackle what I have ahead! I know I can’t spend Christmas crippled with anxiety from being blackout drunk the night before or passed out some random taxi - I don’t want to go back to blackout - stay strong everyone

Thank you, great advice, have some time planned with my young son which means alcohol free activities, not doing the Xmas party with work so I think some nice days out walking will be good. I’m not a great planner and it’s something I need to work on, being sober can only help. When I drink my life spirals into chaos. Thanks again for the advice
Yes your are right, so easy to get caught in the hype of it alll - I read somewhere on a blog that your first sober Xmas will be your best, here is hoping
