Christmas is so hard!

tonight was a huge struggle… all of my relatives were drinking. They had my favorite liquors and wines. My husbands relatives had their homemade beers I’ve been dying to try. Plus 2 hours at home after my daughter went to bed wrapping presents and making desserts for tomorrow… which would have been so much better with wine.

But I’m still sober. :smile:

Homemade beers are my fave. My husband and I used to make our own too. I feel angry and depressed…bla.

Still sober as well.

Same issues staying up playing Santa doing stockings etc. It’s almost a trigger or feeling of necessity to cave in. Couple cups of coffee and some Mountain Dew kick-start and I’m working on day 3. Have a feeling this one is going to be rough.

This has been a doozy for me as well but stayed sober last night.
I keep thinking about the other side of this struggle and how great we all will feel and how much better our lives will be. The harder the struggle, the bigger the victory? Well then…there should be some awesome blessings waiting for us. Let’s just keep taking care of ourselves. (And have an action plan for those triggers)

I went to bed early to get through last night. This morning I’ve had an entire bottle of Faux champagne (sparkling apple juice). I’m running out of ways to make through the holiday. I’m even out of vegetable cocktail for virgin caesars. LOL

But I’m still sober!! 19 days.

Proud of you! Basically ran through the crucible for an alcoholic and came out unscathed.
