Great job on six days. The holidays were a rough time for me. I think it’s important to always have a plan B during holiday events. I always made a plan or a way to escape and remove myself from a situation if I felt I couldn’t handle it. If I was really worried about my sobriety I would skip events all together. Again make a plan and stick to it.

That article was amazing.. I think I will stick to "I have to stay sober just in case Gotham needs me!" I will develop a plan as well! Never thought of that. Thank you !! It's been a long 6 days.. constantly talking myself out of a package store stop! Can't wait for it to be a bit easier!! I feel that this site will make it a bit more manageable!!

To me the holidays are the best time not to drink. I don't enjoy it anymore so why would I ruin a holiday by drinking? That's how I see it anyway..
If I am sober I know I'll have a good time if I'm out with friends. If I am drinking it is a hit or a miss. About 90%of the time it'll lead to me binge drinking, getting in a fight, drunk texting, using drugs etc. No thanks. I am done with alcohol.
Don't let society make you feel like because it is a holiday you should drink. Do what YOU want to do.
