Yes my dear Jasmine! I had 60 days yesterday night. We arrived in the Hague at night and I was so tired that I didnā€™t post here anymore. It was wonderful to see the family in law. The kids are happy to be with the grandparents. I went to bed with the kids after dinner. Noone asked if I wanted to drink, they know I stopped, I told them last timeā€¦ I had to still do AA homework from my sponsor and then I fell asleep immediately.
I checked out meetings here and will definitely go to some!
Merry Christmas to you my dear friend :christmas_tree::gift::christmas_tree::gift::christmas_tree:

Congratulations on 60 days, Julia! :partying_face:
Your hard work and determination are paying off.
Iā€™m really proud of you!
I hope you get a chance to attend a meeting or 2 while youā€™re away. Itā€™s funny how a room full of strangers can make us feel at home. Thatā€™s what I love about the AA program.

I went to the English speaking noon meeting in the Hague and yes it felt like home, a room full of strangers but we are ALL connected and I would have never in my weirdest dreams dreamt that I one day, on 24th December sit in a foreign country in an AA meeting. I got my 2 months chip. And I made Christmas eve sober and have happy kids with their presents around me and absolutely no desire to drink today. To all of you my lovely people a peaceful and beautiful Christmas eve. Love you lots

Day 64 today, I had wonderful relaxed Christmas with the family, I hope everyone of you had a good sober peaceful Christmas and managed to stay sober! Tonight I went to another English speaking meeting in the Hague. Itā€™s wonderful that there are so many English meetings, very friendly AA fellows but not as nice as on Tuesday. But I can ALWAYS take at least one good thing out of a meeting. Night night my friends :sparkles::heart_eyes:

Day 73, happy sober Sunday to all of you fine people!!!
Back from the Hague. It is a beautiful city but for 10 days I havenā€™t seen the sun!!! Incredible. I live in a much colder place but at least we have a lot of sunny days! The meetings there were nice and Iā€™m so grateful Iā€™ve made the holidays sober! Glad to be back home

Good morning everyone, checking in on day 80. All is good here. Back to reality last week again, school for the kids, work for me. And back to my meetings in my town. It feels good to see all familiar AA faces and tell them Iā€™ve made the holidays sober. I canā€™t believe it when I think about it. AA is saving my life, I love the program and the people. Next week I will meet my sponsor to continue my step work. Happy sober Sunday to all of you
