Talking Merry Christmas Eve!

Merry Christmas Eve and remember, Sobriety isn't wrapped up with a bow under that tree. It's inside if you and the greatest gift you can give yourself and your loved ones. Stay strong everyone and I wish y'all the happiest and safest of holidays!

I made it through my first holiday shindig last night. Wine, hard liquor and beer everywhere. Not a single twinge of cravings. The food was great, the company wonderful and the satisfaction of remembering the whole night and not feeling like I was guarding some dark secret was so relaxing. Woot!

It feels good, doesn't it? And I love your quote about sobriety being the gift within ourselves. What's nice is that the people we love also reap the benefits of this gift. Merry Christmas!

You're a goof, Gerby!

"The holidays are not as much about opening our presents as opening our hearts."

And no matter how old you are, an empty Christmas wrapping paper tube is still a light saber.

At a family Christmas Eve dinner. Lots of wine around and though there is a twinge of craving it's not unmanagable. Posting here to gain just a little more strength. Thanks for all the conversations everyone!

Glass of ice water, that's what I did on thanksgiving when I was really uncomfortable with alcohol being around. Keep it filled up and you'll be fine.

I'm good. Lots of diet soda and sparkling water did the trick!

Good job Grits!

PS: I love grits but haven't bought any in awhile.. Instant favored grits are amazing.
