It took a DUI to get me into recovery over 2 years ago. Looking back now, it was the best thing that could have happened. I was given a second chance and I’m making the best of it.
I was about 3 months sober on my first Christmas. It wasn’t bad at all because I planned ahead. I let everyone know I wasn’t drinking and I brought my own. I also left early when the uncomfortable feelings came on.
Here’s a great topic recently posted by one of our long time forum members with some great advice on how to handle these situations.
