I'm so happy for you. May you have a wonderful (chaos free) holiday too.
It's insane what we put ourselves through, insisting we're having fun and celebrating when it's just another step closer to misery every time. I once imagined the holidays would be empty and boring without booze. I didn't realize how empty and boring I had become. At the end of my drinking career I often felt the life had been sucked out of me. That's when I intensified my drinking to try and get the old euphoria back. It never came. For me, that realization took many years - not so with you - you're on your way to a peaceful & fulfilling life. Thanks for an uplifting post.
