Christmas for me is just time spent with mom, brother, and my kids, and alcohol is not a part of my family's celebrations. I am going to stay safe and sober by keeping it uppermost in my mind how much I treasure my sobriety. One year ago I was a mess and I remember it only too well, so it's easy to remember why I don't want to go back there.
I'm not too worried about it as I feel quite safe around my family. And staying sober for my dogs is a priority! They always go with me to spend Christmas day at their 'grandma's'. I will also hang out here a lot - as I always do - as this is my safe haven.:ghug
