Xmas party

Hello everyone, last night was our annual Christmas party for work.
Normally a co worker and I would start off with spiked eggnog late morning and continue drinking throughout the day. We exchange gifts at work then out to eat. We always go to the bar for after dinner drinks and I would end up needing a ride home. Well this year was a very different experience. I was the only one not drinking alcohol. When the party moved to the bar I wished them all a merry Christmas and drove home. My husband and I watched a movie together which never would have happened before cause I would have been passed out. On Christmas day, I'm celebrating six months of sobriety. No one can take that away from me! I wish you all a sober holiday. Hang in there, it's almost over. LOL

Nice to meet you, Doreent.

Many congratulations on six months of sobriety

I think a lot of us will be relieved when the holidays are over !

Thanks for your kind words. They mean a great deal to me. To anyone just starting out, it does get so much easier with time. Remember, just for today!
