Its me again. Went to bed shortly after posting my day count. House is serine . coffee brewing. Feel pretty good fam. . like I stated in other post.These holidays will be the first sauce free ones in as far as I can remember. I wouldnt call it a road block in my journey. Not like I'm surprised. But this is New to me . Feel me? So this is when I take action and apply even more hardcore the things I have in my toolbox. This is very important to me. So I am going to do everything in my power and with some help from above to make this Xmas one to remember. Dont get me wrong its not like ok I'm gonna hide in the closet till this passes. Lol. Heck nah I am going to embrace this . be the designated host. My girlfriend and older. daughter's drink. So it should be interesting. But again they dont have the problem I do. I earned the cant handle booze button. Lol. I have been just doing things around the house. Cleaning and stuff. Believe it or not I like to clean. Its therapeutic. Like to see and smell end results. I have bumped up my coffee intake. Shame on me. But hey cut me some slack I'm trying to stay sober darn it! Lol. I switch to tea. I dont drink soda. So fam I hope I didnt bore you with my little story. But being here really really helps me. Knowing that another human out there is going thru or wants to go thru what I'm doing. Lurkers. Come on give yourself the gift of life this holiday season. Join me on this journey. Dont be afraid . sobriety wont bite ya. ✌

I feel good SoberRican. First Christmas sober too. I am drinking coffee and will keep doing the dishes and walking the doggies and anything else to stay occupied today. There is so much cooking to do which I love too. So yeah man, we don't drink anymore. Let's stay sober together today. Living in Day 34 and I really love these mornings sober and clear and calm. Merry Christmas SoberRican.

Good for you! While this is by far the longest I’ve ever been sober (232), I was also not drinking the past two Christmases. There were some brief moments of jealousy, but that was only in the beginning of the nights. Towards the end of the nights, when I could tell people were under the affect of the drug alcohol, I felt so fortunate that I was actually in the real moment. And the next morning, when everyone had that hung over look, I felt glorious.

Thanks so much for your uplifting post Rican, I myself am really struggling right now and it is such a bummer...I thought my first sober Xmas would be happy. Instead I am frustrated with myself, down on myself and having a hard time snapping out of my worrying state.
I feel like my ego is feeding me everything that happened this past year as a bullet pointed list of big ass failures.
I am working through it though and today I have 160 days sober. I will keep moving forward.
Thanks so much for your positivity.
