Holidays are a big problem for me. I've done this 3 times this year; had 2/3 months sober then relapsed when I'm off work. I'm just feeling defeated but I'll have to dig deep and work out a way to get through it. Thanks Anna.
I'm new to this so I'm just spit-balling but what about doing some volunteer work to fill the time? Anything to get you out of the house and away from boredom.
