to all of you
Here we are again...christmas eve looking foward to 2009..
Its 2am and i cant sleep.....ive just finish with the winter flu....thank god.
Today will probably be like most christmas eves with my beautiful wife whom i seem to love more every year i stay sober.
We normally walk the dogs around midnight into christmas day....dont ask me why but its just lovely.
We live in the country so its beautiful......and our five dogs are our new kids.
Our two daughters have pretty much gone off on there own adventures..
christmas day and we are off to the local pub for dinner with the family and to see my precious little amelya (granddaughter).Along with a 100 other people so should be fun.
In the evening i will go off on my own with my old dog jake (rhodesian ridgeback) up to a sheltered sea front to pray.....as i always do....
To say thankyou...........for being there for me.......and for changing my life.
and for saving it.
And boxing day is chill day.
Three days and back to work.......hopefully i can keep my job....things are difficult in the uk.......like where you live i guess.
Thats three days of my life.......dont get me wrong.....i have hard times but the vast majority of my life is content...peaceful and happy.
Because sometime ago alot of alcoholics and addicts helped me to stay sober.
And still do help me to stay sober........i just cant do this on my own.
Whether your 1 hour or fifty years sober you contribute to keeping me sober by posting on here and from the bottom of my heart i thank all of you.
The power of one alcoholic/addict helping another is endless.
I can remember three christmas periods of my drinking that were perhaps the worst..
1...i spent in hospital on i.v for three weeks over christmas.
2...Spent 3 months in jail after caught asleep at the wheel being 5 times over the uk legal alcohol limit.
3..Another 2 months in jail for bar fight.....
And i manage to find someone else to blame for most of these incidents!!!!
Just for today............im not going back.......i prefer it here thanks.
Merry christmas to everyone and their familys on here........may 2009 bring you peace.............contentment and maybe a new beginning.
god be with you.........trucker

My Christmas tradition is bringing the dogs with me to mom's for most of Christmas day. (she always throws a fit cause her cats get upset) My dogs like visiting with me and behave themselves. They like being around my extended family and enjoy getting a few bits of turkey as we eat.
I like your midnight dog walk idea. I might just do the same here if it's not still raining.
Thank you for sharing! A very happy Christmas to you and yours!
