I took my 3 1/2 year old to dinner and the movies. We saw The Princess and the Frog, which is the first movie she sat through in a theater. Now I'm snuggled under the heating blanket grateful to be sober.
Last NYE I was hooked up to machines and an IV in a critical care unit in another state! I am in awe of how life can change if you allow it to. This holiday season is the first one I've spent sober in about 13 years (aside from my pregnancy).
The best part? I don't feel like I missed a damn thing by not "partying."
