I will be spending the holidays alone again. I have no family nearby so I am used to it. 3rd year in a row alone. I dont want to travel to visit family because they are drinkers and i would have to stay overnight in an awkward situation.
It's odd that I always had plenty of places to go during Christmas when I was an active drinker. Been in recovery for 3 years and never been so lonely in my life. I suppose this is a common transition many alcoholics have to make. Old relationships and burned bridges are tough to mend but it's this time of year when it really hurts.
Holidays are hard.....
