When I was a kid, the holidays were all about me. Santa Clause, presents under the tree.... When I was an adult and still active, they were still all about me. Parties, beer, wine, cocktails.... a full access pass.

Last year, my first sober holiday season, unfortunately, they were still about me... I was so early in my recovery, how would I do them sober? Self pity, ....all that.

This year, they are not about me... They are about my wonderful wife and kids and I will search for ways to make them better... for those people whom I love.

VC... try to lose yourself and make others the focus of your holidays. You don't matter, they do...

Hope that came out right... I hope that you and everyone here can be a meaningful part of mine and everyone's holiday season.
