Wow Reid, a hair transplant. Good for you. I have watched the procedure on tv. I hope you get good results. If I had the money I would have everything done 
Runner, lots of regrets here too. Just keep trying to do the right thing now, we can't change the past.

Happy Christmas Eve everyone.
Sorry to hear about your dad Kaily and your news Atlantic Dawn's.
Good to see you Sao.
My mum didn't want to do Christmas Dinner this year after the new grandchild (fair enough) so they have gone to a hotel this year for a few nights with an old friend of my mothers.
I'm with my sister and her husband this year. Their relationship is difficult to say the least. I try to help but I'm just in the way. Today a glass slipped out of my hand and I spilled my smoothie over the tablecloth. My sister then gave out to me.
I wish my dad would even acknowledge the loss of my child. When he heard where my partner is from he said "it's a good thing you had a miscarriage:.
I keep phoning the Samaritans when I feel so lonely. The last lady I spoke to said something like "keep your relationship with your partner and the one with your family separated". I was doing that but since he is the kindest, sweetest, gentlest person ive ever known, i had hoped to bring him to meet my parents at some stage. At least now i know thats never going to happen.
So it's Christmas Eve and ive got as much Christmas spirit as an Easter egg.
Happy Christmas everyone and Auntie Tetra!
I wish I'd gone to my parents house and stayed there for the Christmas with the TV and the cat. Unfortunately I cannot leave now. The tension between them is unbearable though x

Sorry I got AthensDawg name wrong. I'm very tense at the moment.
Truthfully if I had a bottle of wine around when I heard that my niece was born, I would have drunk it.
Thankfully i didn't.
Again today the tension is getting to me. If i had wine i would drink it.
Take care everyone

Tetra, sorry that you are currently caught in an uncomfortable situation between your sister and her husband. It sounds very sad. I hope that you can soon move passed the thought of drinking in these tense situations. You will eventually see how it's just the AV using it to get at you. You don't really want to drink alcohol, you just want an exit strategy from the situation.

Happy Holidays to all. 
I want to go to bed but can't as a pkg is being delivered shortly and I want to get it in case they just leave it in the mailroom so it won't be stolen. In the delivery instructions I said to put it in a locker on the west side of the bldg so it will be locked away and safe until I can get it.
Feeling a bit better now. Had a cup of lavender/chamomile tea a while ago and it seems to have improved how I'm feeling.. Tomorrow I'm going to ck and son in law's house with Billie to spend the afternoon and have dinner with them.

Merry Christmas to all in the Weekenders thread, and to all at Sober Recovery. I hope you all have a peaceful holiday. Take care all.
I just wish we had snow here in the UK. Not as much as some parts of the US are currentl;y getting nor as cold as it is over there. A bit of snow would be nice though.

I woke up to an email from the lottery stating we have news about your ticket. Oh Santa's been I thought. I excitedly signed in only to be told the site was down for maintenance - counting my millions I thought 
. Eventually my patience paid off and I signed in and yes I won ... £5. A bit like unwrapping a gift and finding socks, grey ones at that.

Kaily, 
.
An Alfie and Daisy picture is always a bright spot in the day.
Alpine, our summers are definitely brutal.
It's a beautiful Christmas sunrise here, though a bit cold outside. The fire in the fireplace is very nice.
