I just moved 2400 km's away from home...so I too will be alone at Christmas. Although I'm staying with my sister I'm pretty sure she will be heading south to be with her son.
I was just looking at the church community online in this new place. I watched the this sweet and incredibly amusing "welcome" video for a local church basically saying if your old, green, queer, addicted, in recovery, young, grumpy or sad...you're welcome. I might go check them out this morning.They didn't look like your "typical" religious folks..which is exactly what I'm after. Eclectic spirituality.
I also know there is a new AA group starting a meeting this afternoon which I may check out.
I know I need to find new community here...so I won't be alone at Christmas...or in life really.
I know church or recovery community isn't everybody's bag...but it sure helps by way of getting you out there and meeting people.
We got just over a month my friend....let's make this a fantastic, meaningful sober Christmas.
