Hi Displaced,
The holiday season can be a big challenge for many of newly sober, or trying to stay sober.
Being inundated by commercials pushing liquor, beer and wine is not helping matters at all.
Would it be helpful for you to abstain from watching TV? Is that even possible for you? (Not that anyone can force you to watch, of course, but in some households the TV is simply on all the time.)
I can't tell if you are a new member on SR, but if you are, welcome! This is a good place. You'll find support and strength here.
I find it helps me to spend time here, reading and posting.
Btw. GRITS = Girl Raised In The South?
