Holidays are always hard for me. I see my family with their loved ones and I do not have a SO. Last year I got wasted on Thanksgiving because I saw my ex fiance the day before. I did not drink today. 37 days strong. It’s hard because I know it will help me feel better, for now. But so much worse the next dag. I usually go workout or train when I get an urge but both gyms are closed. I start thinking of why I quit drinking, which also brings sadness. The cause and reason. But also keeps me sober. My pain to bare, and the fuel to keep the “sobriety train” running. I am particularly sorry to one person, and it’s for her I keep going, even though she will never know. So to all who also have hard times on holidays, just know you are not alone. It might be hard, but it is worth it
