Petals, good to see you!

It does seem to get busier here this time of year. Not surprising with all the temptations. And the stresses .... as much as I love the OFH, it can be stressful at times. There are a few very clueless people, as there are everywhere.

Toots, I haven't quite reached the spot where you are - I wouldn't trust myself with booze in my apartment yet, but other than that it's not a problem. I don't intend to try it out, either!

SG, love your post and completely agree with the importance of all of the Overs in my life

Hi Overs - oops, missed a few days and there were a lot of posts to read through! Well, finally finished work today ready for a break over Christmas and New Year - yay! Hope not to put on too many pounds from all the lovely goodies to eat though I am incredibly grateful for sobriety even more so now than ever before

SW way to go on the workouts!
PJ thanks so much, you as well.
Just two more days till Christmas. Can't believe what a non-issue drinking is this year, compared to the past five. Maybe cause I'm such a hermit this year. As much as I've been feeling kind of lonely lately, I realize that I am totally living my dream by just making good money at a secure job and having my own place, this seemed so unattainable for so many years. And I'm a tad antisocial lately, yes, but I think I need this, to learn to just be, alone, not constantly trying to distract myself with projects, friends, guys. Basically I need to learn to RELAX.
Anyway, off until the 30th now!!!! Yayyyy. I wanted to share a pic of my little oasis with you, complete with festive lights.

Morning overs

Lovely peaceful haven Inpar. Enjoy your time off.

Hi petals, nice to see you! visit us to escape the chaos! lol.

Had a hectic day visiting family and friends, enjoyable though it was I was pleased to get home. There was a day when home was just to sleep, couldn't bear being in, but now a complete turn around. I feel settled , at home.

Have a good Christmas weekend overs. Love to all.xx

Your room looks so restful!! I can relate to what you wrote, but need to add food to my list. I think it is an addictive tendency thing, always looking for distraction from something. Still work to do for me.

It's Christmas Day tomorrow, a short sleep away, and we fly down to my family at the other end of this little country. There will be oodles of booze flowing, I really do need to avoid it, the pull is very strong, but it can't be helped! I will keep reminding myself why I stopped, and stay stopped.....no doubt I'll check in here for support.

Wishing you all a wonderful Christmas, where ever you are and however you wish to spend it, I hope it brings you happiness. Be safe and take care xx

And also remember how much you have achieved in sobriety Manz and how strong you are to have come so far.

IP some people find it hard to be alone, I enjoy my peace so much that I struggle when I don't have my solitude. I do love your apartment, it looks cozy!

FBL, really? Santa? On Xmas eve? You trying to give me heart failure?

Hey Zip, any Christmas gigs?

Nef, great to see a pop in from you!

SG my sentiments exactly, beautifully put!

Happy holidays everyone and safe travels those who are journeying anywhere.

Good morning Overs.

Hi NeferkaMichael!

Merry Christmas to all who celebrate it and seasons greetings to those who don't.

I am glad the weather is cooperating for you FBL! I am sure you have experienced some harrowing holiday drives living in your neck of the woods!

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all!
