There is life after christmas dinner
There is life in sobriety .
Apathy to our own sobriety can sometimes set in , also romanticising the drinking .
Maybe try to change the routine a bit , prep the dinner beforehand so it's a quick microwave job rather than a self sacrificing performance .
I used to get resentful when people didn't notice how hard i'd slaved away at it .. Toxic resentment that lead to drinking .
Christmas day for me is a day for children and for adults to share in their wonder and excitement .
Last time i checked it wasn't about alcoholics like me and drinking .
Make a new plan , make some new golden memories for the future , it doesn't have to be fun at 8 weeks , you just got to get through.
All good things happen in time , be patient, give it time to work if you stay sober better things will happen and will keep on happening .
Bestwishes, m
