Christmas Eve Blues...
Hi Everyone,
Well it's nearly midnight where I am, and I'm in bed, feeling rather low. Glad to be sober, of course, but my mind keeps dwelling on happier years, when the kids were little, and my husband and I would be filling their stockings by the fire. But now he's dead, and that happiness is in the past.
Guess I'm on my pity pot, but it is so hard being alone. Yes, my adult sons still live with me, for which I'm very grateful, but it's not the same as being around people my own age.
On the plus side, I went to visit my daughter and grandson earlier in the week, and we had a sort of mini Christmas, which was nice. I nearly lost her last year, due to my drinking, but slowly, slowly our relationship is improving. What a vicious illness this is.
Anyway, rant over. Tomorrow I'll be going to a meeting, having a walk on the Cornish cliffs, then cooking turkey for my sons in the evening.
Have a good time everyone.

Yes there were times drinking fit well into life. Pleasures not long forgotten. Then something changed for the worse. To the hideous mess of family arguments, sons, daughters alienated...
Glad your on the right track for a better life.
