Morning all ��
I won't bore you with my whole story but I quit on 8 DEC 4 years ago. I picked up again a few months ago but that's another story. I was scared about quitting before the holiday season but did it with the help of Sr and other support.
It's natural to be worried with works dos parties everything seemingly revolving around alcohol but it doesn't have to. I took it a day at a time, a minute at some points and got through. We all will. A plan is crucial and never be afraid to say no. Turning down invitations to protect your sobriety is good, necessary even. We will start the new year with a month of sobriety!

I am going to give this another go. I've tried in the past and have failed each time. I need to change up my plan and add a few things to it. I am sick and tired of feeling this way. I want to be able to look at myself in the mirror and feel proud instead of ashamed. I will come here first and ask for help and not pick up that first drink. We can do this.

Hi, class. It feels good to belong to Class of Dec 2016.
It's Day 2 for me and I am feeling better. Just wish my sleep pattern was back to normal. I have been eating and holding it down. Nothing worse than gagging on a banana because it makes you sick to swallow it. Today is a good day...tomorrow will be better and so on...This is a new beginning for us. All my love, prayers and support!♡CR

Some things that won't happen this holiday season if we stay sober
Make a fool of ourselves at works Xmas party and flirt badly or worse with co!leagues.
Insult colleagues at work party.
Wake up with that dreaded feeling of oh no what have I done or said.
Wake up and not remember what happened
Wake up in a cell
Be arrested for DUI.
Waste days feeling physically and mentally wrecked.
We will have peace of mind ��

You got that right. There isn't anthing I miss about drinking. Probably because I am on Day 2 but, I hope I never pick up a glass of alcohol and ruin what I have been working for again. I am excited to start looking and thinking and feeling healthy. I've wasted too much time distroying myself...body, mind and spirit. All I want for Christmas is to regain what alcohol stole from me for many years. No more powerless feeling. I am taking back control.
