Here we are back in the holiday season ..and there are going tobe alot of tests out there .. remember only you can do this for yourself ... and it all up to you how you want to handle them .. so try not to impress anyone but yourself .. and you are the only one that really counts .. when you put all your chips on the table... we can all enjoy the holiday without al..there are ways ..think and look for them..


SO WITH THAT BEEN SAID.. HOW DO YOU WANT TO HANDLE YOUR HOLIDAY SEASON ??

Thanks Mr T. Not quite our holiday season here but the message is the same for me and that is "I can enjoy life without alcohol"
And I will!!!

Here We Are Back In The Holiday Season

Honeslty, I am scared and worried about the Holidays. I typically make the best-known Eggnog, but I stopped making it two years ago when Vodka became my husband's best friend. I have been thinking about the Holidays since September, something about that time of the year seems to push him over the edge with AL. This will be the first year in a very long time he has been sober for almost 3 weeks (tomorrow), so I am hoping this Holiday season will be without the Vodka ghost. If all goes well, there will definetely be something wonderful to be thankful for at Thanksgiving and Happy New Year will have a special meaning.

wow vlad that wondrful ...

waiting for his way out .. yes it was alittle tough for me last year around the holidays ..
in the beginning ..but but it is doable and there are alot more non-alcoholic drinks out there that can make it a whole lot easier and enjoyable if needed .. so just something to think about

Christmas, etc., have always been very difficult times for me, and almost always I have spent them heavily "medicated" with alcohol. I hated Christmas even when I was a child, because of the way my family was (not very cozy, I was an only child, all the adults were drunk, etc.). This will be a difficult one for me.

It's a while until holiday season up here - just halloween, and I'm not sure I consider that a holiday, just a really fun event. Then nothing until December and the parties.

Waiting for his way - I've always loved eggnog ("chicken milk" my kids call it - lait de poule, en francais!). But I've always made it with rum. I can only drink it with rum, otherwise it is missing something. BUT - there is such a thing as artificial rum flavour. That will be my ploy!!! Maybe I can even trick my BF!!!!!!
