Hi there everyone, Hope all you enjoyed your Christmas!! This Christmas had to have been one of the best of my adult years!! I didn't touch a drop of alcohol!! and things were pretty low key with everyone else drinking as well, felt so good, and it really made me wonder why I drank so much on past Christmases, I definetely enjoyed myself alot more, had so much fun with my nephews!! I was beat yesterday, but in a good way!!
Just thought I would share my sober Christmas day with all of you!!
lots of love,
LD
Love-Dove...Thank you for sharing that! SO HAPPY for you! So happy you enjoyed yourself sober...and usually "it" is never as bad as we project "it" to be...
And thank you for your response to my other post on loved ones board...
Sobriety has been a journey for me...like life...sometimes the road is smooth and straight and sometimes its curvy, hilly, or rough...but as long as I am sober, as long as I work a program...it will be okay...sometimes I forget that...sometimes I get mired down in the muck and negative...but today it doesn't last nearly as long as it used too...Someone once told me life is life, there are no guarantees that life will be or is supposed to be rosy all the time...it took me a while to accept that and to understand it...
And I am tired too! Still recuperating from a crazy few weeks...so when I can I have been a couch potato! {{{HUGS}}} Love Gina

Hi love dove,
I know what you mean. I definatley enjoyed christmas more this year. Even though I felt a bit insecure without a drink, it meant more because I knew what was going on and remembered it rather than it being a hazy cloud heading for oblivion!!
Let's hope new year is as good!
Love Lacey.

Hi LD, even tho this is my 4th holiday season, this was the best by far for me too! Even with all that has transpired with my daughter's situation as of late...I am grateful, for I am growing thru all of it and becoming stronger and modeling (mostly) appropriate sober behavior for her. Today is a good day too!
Hey Lovedove
Isnt living wonderful...being sober and running around like a mad person chasing the kids, eating too much and then some more, and living breathing a sober xmas you beauty although i am wondering why they call it Boxing day the next day is it because the kids are s***ty tired and Mum and Dad are knackeredLOL we all survived and had a good day.
How did your Dad enjoy the day?
Light and love Zac
