Thanks all. I definitely am looking forward to new Christmas traditions- ones that don't involve me slurring and staggering through the evening, my mom helping me to bed, pinching my eyes together as I try and enjoy my children on Christmas morning while fighting a raging hangover…
I do want to start the mental preparation now. So from here on out when I daydream about my much anticipated trip back home I will envision myself holding a nice cup of hot tea instead of a glass of wine. Or in the evening at dinner, some sparkling water in a beautiful glass.
Here I go on day 25. Feeling good too, thankful for that.
