My Christmas - SoberRecovery : Alcoholism Drug Addiction Help and Information

ksos · 12-26-2003, 05:09 AM

I had a very warm and spiritual holiday--I spent Christmas Eve and Christmas Day with my wife and daughter. My kid was sick so we all stayed in the house, my wife made a very nice meal, and we watched our daughter open up her presents--a microscope, a chemistry set, millions of other things

, and the beat went on.

Christmas Eve was very nice in another way. Although my daughter had a fever, we decided to put her into my wife's bed and she began reading to me. Without thinking, I went beside her and got comfortable and my wife began reading a book and rested her head on my bare feet

What was nice was that, although my wife and I are separated, I felt a sense of family closeness that had been absent for many, many months. I think that we all felt that way. After about a half hour, I sensed that it was time for me to leave her room, although I wasn't asked to. I went to bed that night, thinking about a better New Year and how special it was to have my family for the holiday. I am truly blessed.

I hope everyone had a nice Holiday, too.

Ksos,
That sounds like a wonderful way to spend Christmas.
Ever wonder why when we are forced into spending time
together,that it is usually a very pleasant situation?

I hope your daughter is well soon.
Im so glad that it all went well for you!!

She still has a fever, but no sore throat or any other symptoms. Her grandmother is taking her to the doctor today....

Hope you had a Merry

Ksos,

I am very happy for you. Your hard work is starting to pay off, and you are reaping some of the rewards now. It will only get better. What a beautiful scenario you painted for us of the three of you reading in bed together. Those kinds of things are my happiest moments.

Ksos,
IÂ´m happy you had such a lovely Christmas. ItÂ´s true what Juls says, you are reaping the rewards of your recovery.

I have a feeling your success is due to the fact that you are not afraid to address your issues, get them into the open and meet your problems head-on.

I hope your daughter gets well soon.

Love and light,

Hi All:

It was a nice holiday, to be sure. And, my daughter did recover from her fever, which was the most important thing.

I appreciate everyone's special wishes and support. Holidays were always tough for me and I was pleasantly surprised that this one went nicely....

You deserved it Ksos, you worked hard for it. I'm glad your daughter is better. I know how it is when our little one's or big one's are sick.
