Here, we are not alone on Thanksgiving

I wanted to take a moment to thank everyone who visits this forum on this site. The threads here on the front-page for the Newcomers forum has been invaluable to me and was integral to the beginning of my sobriety. I'm at 50+ days now and am blessed to have shared sobriety struggles and accomplishments with both people getting their sober legs, and those with the wisdom of trial/error of experience.

Some of us are alone this holiday - some of us for very sad reasons, others by choice, and others merely as a matter of circumstance. If you're here reading this, let me say: you are not alone!

I hope if anyone is stuggling today that they read this post/thread and share a little about what's going on.

In honor of turkey day (hehehee, thanks for the inspiration Honeypie), I sketched this:

Take care everyone!!!

(((ZenJen))) - GREAT post, and love the pictures. I had planned on spending the afternoon with family, but apparently have picked up a "stomach bug" so will miss it. Really is nice to be able to share the day with friends, here at SR.

Hugs and prayers,

Amy

Well, as the day winds down here, I thought I'd pop back in. I sincerely hope everything went as smoothly as possible for everyone!

If anyone is doing the black friday thing: good luck and stay safe!

For those of us with the day off tomorrow: enjoy the time off with something healthy and creative.

Love you guys!

ZenJen
