MERRY CHRISTMAS !!!!

Well, its finally arrived...I hope all are in good spirits so to speak?
I am not sure how I am to be honest, I think OK, but yes there definitely feels like somethings missing...so what I have decided to do is just go with the flow...see how it pans out and not put any pressure on myself to be any way I am just going to be...if that makes sense...It is another day, and it will be sober so for that I am VERY grateful.
I am going to my brothers and I have an exit strategy planned for when I have had enough..Rich understands and is supportive so I have no problem there...he has even said he wont drink today while we are out so that will help...he'll have a few this evening no doubt but thats ok...
As I am typing this, I am feeling better about the whole thing....
Yes, this Christmas is going to be very different, but it will be better, I will see the whole day through with no embarrassment or worry about trying to act sober or hide the amount of drinks I am putting away, or worry that there wont be enough to last until the shops are open again, I will wake tomorrow with no regrets, no blank spots and no hangover....
I am happier already!!!

Have a superb day everyone,
May this Christmas be the best for all.
Love Startingover

Happy Christmas everyone in the Army
Thank you all for being there in 2008 to keep me company on our journey to a better life. I had the most wonderful Christmas day ever ever ever! The sun shone, the food was fab, the kids had a ball, the presents were all spot on and everthing worked out perfectly. And best of all I engaged fully with every one! Its a gift it really is - considering i didnt think I would make it to this Xmas!
Hope you all have an equally wonderful day!

Morning all. Merry christmas. It is a diff time of year for us alkies! Im on my own this morning, can hear next door opening all there presents and missing erin and feeling a little sorry for myself! Starts post has lifted my spirits though. Ill be fine when wish comes over, but as starts said, i just feel something is missing today. See pics of all my friends going out and having fun on facebook, and for me, at the moment its just another day, and another battle against alc and myself.
Im going to start preparing lunch, which should make me happier!
have a great day everyone and Nadolig Llawen.

Hi Cyrmu
Its the rock tour one. I dont mind the music its the tap tap tapping of the sticks that is really annoying. But they have had a ball with it. I am defo going to master one track this holidays. If I can get a turn that is. I have had 3 roast dinners in 24 hours! Stuffed to the gills. Need a colonic irrigation. A couple of bottles of bubbles and packet of fags used to do that quite well. TMI I know! No I didnt miss the cold in the end it was just perfect except for the flies!
