Holiday Weekender for Christmas 2016
To The Weekender Thread for
Xmas 2016
Hi and welcome to the Weekender Thread!
This is a place where anyone and everyone can come for support - especially over the weekend - but also right through the coming week as well.
All you have to do to join is post - we'd love to see you come aboard :
________________________________________
I'd like to wish everyone a happy safe sober and clean Christmas.
No big post this week - just a reminder to maybe take a moment or two to think about the things you're grateful for this Christmas...
and maybe spare a thought or even a deed or two for those less fortunate than ourselves...
If you haven't read this thread, or haven't for sometime - it's worth a read all the way through...

Remember there will be people around and support here on SR available right across Christmas
please do post before you get into trouble...

Thanks for the thread, Dee!
Wow, this is a time of the year when we all need to stick together for strength.
I know I'll be around most of the weekend except when I'm at AA meetings or functions. I should be able to keep up!

I'm on board. This coming weekend has been on my mind. No plans to drink naturally, don't want to and AV is being quiet about it. Not really looking forward to the family event's. Everyone drinks, my brother-in-law was an o'l binge buddy. I don't like some of the attitudes either. We had a bit of a disastrous event at work, although it'll probably be resolved tomorrow, part of me is really hoping to be called in over the weekend.
Most of the family is coming to my place Christmas eve, told my wife it'll be an alcohol free event (She doesn't drink anyways). Then we go to their place Christmas day. I'll bring my laptop and maybe hang out here.....

Thank you for the thread, dee.
I think it's perfectly ok to feel fine being alone for holidays unless you choose otherwise yourself, not by pressure of traditions.
I have lots of things to do these days.
And I don't celebrate x-mas anyway.
Have safe alcohol free holidays, weekenders!

Merry Christmas and happy holidays to all you guys...let us make it a sober and safe one.
This morning I heard some awful news, a lady from my old neighbourhood passed away, she was 56 and suffered and struggled with addiction her whole life...she was a kind hearted woman and has left 4 grown up children. Awfully sad.

Getting myself up and ready to leave. I'm not partying this year which feels very good. Will be with people and am staying in a wine region which did worry me. But so far so good.
I guess being sober and aware is making a difference. Long may it continue

Wolves throughout history have been given a bad name & reputation but I think wolves are beautiful they are the first ancestor of the dog (and Bear too I think)
Native Indians seen something very spiritual in the wolves
And we all know Raksha from the jungle book
Thought I'd share this in appreciation of just how awesome Wolves are
