I’m sending love and support to all of you. This morning is very difficult. I would have definitely been drinking while cooking Thanksgiving dinner. This is my first year without it. It feels good and its so hard though. I need to keep up the good fight. I don’t want to go back to where i was last Dec. Thanks for reading

I feel ya. I’m on day 12 and want to drink so bad. Being around family while they are enjoying their libations will be a challenge for me, for sure!
We’ve all got this! 
Happy Thanksgiving!!

Just keep in mind how great you’re gonna feel tomorrow morning, and how they’re gonna feel. You’ll thank yourself later.

Happy Thanksgiving - I’m so excited to focus on my family, and being present for them; not in a haze or trying to chase that numb feeling and then losing control (and inevitably feeling ashamed).
I’m so thankful for this community, and for the support and encouragement! It’s a truly wonderful feeling to be sober, and know that if things get tough (which is life) - there are folks who can understand!

Thanksgiving is my favorite drinking day. Family, food, and football BUT no alcohol today and it is amazing. The clarity I have playing on the floor with my kids and not worrying about my drink being spilled, this is the good life. Have a wonderful and safe day everyone. All the love 🫶🏽

Isn’t it amazing? Since becoming sober, I too have definitely been a better parent. More hands on, patient, nurturing, loving, etc.
Give yourself a pat on the back!

Happy thanksgiving, everyone.
It’s been awhile since I’ve been on this app. I promise that I did not relapse, just been needing a lot of “me” time. Today is 490 days sober.
The past few weeks have been really difficult for me. Just haven’t been feeling good mentally, cravings are through the roof, and the holidays don’t make it easier.
My holidays have been shitty since 2019. My dad doesn’t cook, and he doesn’t let me cook a dinner for us. Family is very distant, we used to have get togethers every year for thanksgiving and Christmas. Me, my siblings, dad, cousins, aunts, and uncles, but they are no longer a thing since my grandmother passed away. Everyone kinda does their own thing now and with the way I’ve been feeling lately I just haven’t been wanting to see anyone today. I figured somebody would at least invite me over or reach out and say happy thanksgiving back but I’ve heard nothing. Even my best friend hasn’t reached out. We actually spent thanksgiving together last year together. And I’m not the type of person who will invite myself. I’d like to feel wanted.
My dad has been really down too lately but won’t talk about what’s going on. He was in the ER a few weeks ago but claims “everything is okay.” But I’m worried about him.
I hope everyone is having a happy and safe holiday. I’m just feeling really alone right now. But I will not drink… trying so hard not to.

This is my first thanksgiving in as long as I can remember that I am sober.
102 days to be exact!
The amount of gratitude and thankfulness I feel today is insurmountable to anything else I’ve experienced. But I’m definitely having a ton of other feelings as well.
Today is also a huge day of reflection for me.
I wish nothing but happiness and health to everyone. Recovery is hard as HECK but it makes you a damn warrior!
