Hi Stella! All those things you're planning sound great. Six months was hard for me too. I turned back to my plan and doubled my postings on here. It would have been too easy to just pick up a drink so I had to be mindful of that. I still have to be mindful. I agree that post Christmas is tough. I made it through without drinking. Let's celebrate! Bad mindset.
I think it's great that you recognized that and came here.
