Sober Holidays

Over the Holidays family and friends might ask you to have a drink or hope that you drink with them to join in the ‘fun’.

Remember that your own sobriety is not worth anyone else’s request to have a drink. If they seem uncomfortable by the fact that you are not drinking that is THEIR problem, not yours. No one who wants you to drink has your own best interests in mind.

The best Holiday gift you can give yourself is to wake up January 2nd without having to ponder why you relapsed or dealing with the consequences of having drank too much. I promise you its not worth it and anyone who does not support you in this journey is not either…

Even when I was drinking, I hated NYE. Glad to stay home and go to bed early.
