Don't even want to go to Aa tonight. Just want to be drunk till Xmas is over.
I have 5 hours to hang out. My daughter birthday is in 4 days. Really devastating. She turns 16. Trying to distract myself. Cooking rented a movie I can't even concentrate on. I wrecked 2 months of sobriety this time last year. Any ideas??

Hang around here, talk to people...go to the meeting later, and maybe get some numbers of people to call as your daughters bday gets nearer.
Bottom line is the only way things are going to change between you and the people you love is if you change, stay sober, and let them see that you've changed.
I know it's a long process but nothing good is ever easy, right?
you can do this

Definitely go to the meeting Sweetichick. Do you have the holiday survival guide link? I will post it here again to help.

You know it gets better, you also know drinking will only make things worse. You can do this, you just need to add a few additional supports to your recovery.

You are all right. If I drink today I will be too hungover for the meeting tomorrow morning. So that is 2 meetings missed. Car is full of petrol. No excuses. Maybe I feel too embarrassed going when I am so upset re my daughter. Wipe away the tears and put on a brave face. I won't even be around in a few years to see what my daughter s decide about me if I keep drinking.I would do anything not to be an alcoholic.

Hey there friend, you don’t have to put on a brave face. We put on a brave face every time we hide our addiction from he people around us. A brave face is just hiding from the help we need. Falling apart is messy and embarrassing, but it’s better than living another day at the bottom of a bottle. If you’re in pain and need help, be honest. Maybe you need support in addition to AA. It’s out there. Do what ever you have to do to keep that next drink from your hand.

In the early days, I would spend literally hours, in the SR Arcade (up top here), really helped pass the time. I still pop in from time to time if my minds racing for whatever reason.
I guess it's just finding what works for you.
Hang in there x
