I don't know how I got through my last "drunk" Christmas ... Last year was my first sober one. I felt so happy with myself at that point .. and I am sure the whole house felt more relaxed and much happier in general. I have two girls too .. being a sober, regular, available mom to them is the best feeling, and I know it's creating good memories that are slowly by surely overtaking any not-so-good ones. Sobriety rocks.
