SBTS, you really sound rock solid. Your Xmas sounded quite stressful and sounded like you handled a lot of tricky situations head on whereas I felt I kinda hid away - but, hey, the goal is not drinking and not setting up that next drink by stressing myself out. If that means running away and hiding for a while then so be it! I haven't had any cravings since I stopped but have had lots of drinking thoughts. I'm sure those cravings will come but am glad they have not yet.
I fly back tomorrow and will be glad to get into 2020 sober and with the view of cracking on from there. Like I keep saying, the real test will be from the 30th when I will be home alone with noone to account to but myself.
