I just left a meeting on this topic. Early in my drinking career I remember I used to like Christmas because I could get away with drinking because everyone else was. Never mind I was drinking 2-3 times as much. As years progressed tho I was drinking to get drunk every day so the holidays were no different. Now, my family are social drinkers and that's ok with me but if they start getting drunk I will have to leave. No jimmy and beach guy I am newly single as well and it would be easy to get the poor me pour me a drink attitude but I just plan on being prepared and ready to leave if I have to.
