1st Sober Christmas In Years
Hello Everyone, This Will Be My First Christmas In A Sober State Of Mind In A Very Long Time. I've Come Back To The Aa Fellowship After Numerous Attempts At Controlled Drinking And Other Methods, Too Many To Mention. I've Been Sober Now For 8 Months, A Record For Me.
I Don't Really Feel I'm Qualified To Give Advice On How To Stay Sober. Because 26 Years Of Drinking Vs. 8 Months Of Sobriety Is Just A Drop In The Bucket. I HAVE TO BE REALISTIC. However, There Are A Few Things/activities I Will Embark Upon To Ensure I Don't "go Back Out There" Over The Holidays.
1. Do Some Service Work Like Phone Watch.
2. Attend Alcothons If There Is One In Your Area.
3. Hang Around Aa's Or Just Go To A Meeting If The Urge To Drink Hits You. Or Call The Aa Hotline.
These Are Just Some Of The Things I'll Do To Make It Thru During A Time That Can Be Hard, I Imagine On An Oldtimer As Well.
Good Luck To You All And May God Bless You, One Day At A Time.
