I did it, I did it!! It was so hard too because of major family issues. My daughter found out I have a brother because someone was drinking and had diarrhea of the mouth. This is the brother who abused me as a child and I made the decision to not tell my daughter he exsisted until she was much older. Anyway, I made it through that night sober and then through this morning when my parents forgot to get me a Christmas gift and then now that my family is downstairs drinking and my father is upset that I'm upstairs with my daughter trying to relax and get her ready for bed. Oh boy, I can't wait to go back to New Hampshire!!!!!

Good night everyone. Merry Christmas!

Just done my 1st xmas also, well done to you. I suppose the brother thing was always going to come out at some point, so it may just make an awkward situation that wee bit easier....

Sounds like you finally realize a drink won't make anything easier or better. It took me so long to get that. Glad you made it Anchor.

Awesome job bird!!!! Also my first Christmas sober!!! Man it felt great.. The ole AV tried to squeak in late in the day when everyone was partaking yet I quickly shut it down. Here's to many more a sober Christmas. Merry Christmas all and to all a good night. MB8
