Merry Christmas good friends!

Hope everyone had an awesome Christmas!!

A nice day here, and getting ready to head back east tomorrow for a week to visit family, go to a wedding and do the New Year's thing. I'm thinking it will be a lot to handle, and I'm definitely a little shaky at the moment.

The extended time off from work gives my brain time to wander - to places it shouldn't go. I've been keeping busy all day - preparing food, doing laundry, a couple of long walks. I've spent some time on here, and ran through a few recovery podcasts. It's funny that when my AV visits, it's still at roughly the same time of day - starts around 4:00pm .... if I can make it until 7:00pm I think I am good. Posting here to get these dumb thoughts out of my head.

I've played the tape forward. I know there is nothing good that will happen - only bad. I guess the war is not over. I am ready, though.

Merry Christmas everyone! I hope you are all having a beautiful day.

MITA, hang in there. I know you cannpower through this AV. It so isn’t worth it to drink.

Dee74 12-25-2018 04:34 PM

re-read some old posts MITA. The decision to drink again is a pretty loaded one (no pun intended).

Its not a decision I'd make lightly - and I'd remember that the AV always lies. The promise is never the result.

hey, Lillian!

MITA-you can do this. We got your back.

beerbgone 12-25-2018 04:51 PM

Merry Christmas, Dear Purps.

Thanks all for the words of support, encouragement and clear thinking. I am doing better now. I know these things don't last long - sometimes they are mild and other times quite a bit stronger. I realize I've never gone a significant amount of time continuously sober - really, right now I am about at my historical best - but you'd think after so many years of trying to get it right I wouldn't have to come here whining like a little boy who needs his mommy when the AV shows up.

Still, I'm glad I did :)

I'll be traveling with a clear head and no shame or remorse tomorrow.

I'm being good, BBG!!

ManInTheArena 12-25-2018 05:50 PM

Lillian, great to "see" you!

Hey Bobbie :) Hey Dee :)

Gorgeous place for a meeting, PHX. How was it with your relatives?

MITA - safe travels. Great job yesterday.

Hey Lillian, Purps, BBG, Suze and Dee.

Hi - 13th!

Have a great day everyone. I am back at work. It will be really quiet in my office today.

beerbgone 12-26-2018 07:53 AM

Mornin' everybody. Nice pic PHX.

I'm assuming we've all made it safely through the holiday season so far!!! Right?

New Years is coming up.

Bobbieka 12-26-2018 09:02 AM

How was your first Christmas, Suze?

LillianGish 12-26-2018 12:57 PM

That is a beautiful place in the picture PJ! I hope you had a nice meal with your family, but even if not, I hope you are doing ok anyway. I was just thinking about you and sending good thoughts.

I love you to pieces....thank you for asking....2nd can you believe? I moved here March '17. But I don't do Christmas love....I tried a bit and made sure Nick's kids and family had nice presents, and I got a lovely gift from Nick's aunt....I will find the pic in a sec....other than that, Nick worked and I had a major housework day and made us lovely food. :) Plus we had a great sleep....so that was good. :)
