Good holiday season
I always liked the holiday season. Family. Fun. Relaxation. Playing with toys! And booze.
This time with no booze was equally as fun, and not as harsh of a reality in the mornings. No bloody mary mornings to be able to face the rest of the day.
It snowed here NYE (about 15 inches) and my daughter and I took the quad for a few miles in the snow. Talk about fun. She was singing Frosty the Snowman the whole time. Quite funny.
But I had a different feeling this year. I "felt" instead of getting numb. It was a good time. 3 weeks in and I am feeling pretty good all things considered. Sleep still could be better as could the circles under my eyes. But meh I am sober. And I am enjoying it.
Hang in there newbies. It is worth the fight. Fight for that first week or so and it is so worth it.

Good for you!
I am only on day 2. Your your christmas story inspires me. I drank from the moment I woke up till I went to bed on christmas. I didnt get out of control or anything. I had to alternate the booze with coffee so I could keep my energy up. I felt really bad about not really being present with my family. I promised myself after that i would quit. Next chrismas i will be fully present in the moment and enjoy every second of it.
