Holidays blues..
91 days today.... but as its been for a good portion of these past years..I Just don't got the sprit. I find my self reflecting on the past before alcohol cunsumed my life..they where great times.But the last few years it's been bahumbug for me Stil. I remove this alcohol and the behaviors of the drink but the mind is still very drunk ...the antisocial ,shame and hurt is still going strong ..I try to shakeit and somtim leave my comfort zone, to do some of the celebration with the new family, but that leads to resentment just got to take it easy and except the fact that this too shall past....I DID NOT DRINK TODAY

Jeffrey, congratulations on 91 days. I had a really hard time with shame and guilt and couldn't shake it. Someone suggested journaling which wasn't something I wanted to do, but I was desperate so gave it a try. It really helped. Writing out the negative thoughts and feelings took away much of their power.
