    A Sober Christmas?? No ******** Way!!!!

    Great Post!
    As you all may know I was a gallon a day rum drinker up until 7 days ago. For those of thinking of quitting, this is a great time, as I still have the withdrawls from alcohol wearing me out. I remind everyone how easy and I never thought I could do it , I always thought I would stick to just beer but a 12 pack or less on certain days of the week turned out to be up to a gallon of the hard stuff a day.. I have a bad trigger today that is stressing me out an ex expressed some mean things about me the other night, I took into consideration what mario who is on this board had wrote in a new thread and took that and finally fell asleep, Sorta nice to see the AL withdrawls not as powerful. Tho the cravings are there for sure, back to a Sober Christmas its usally a family get together, I too look back at what I spent throughtout the year on alcohol and its sad! I will be Sober have to be i neeed to stay strong minded and with this board has helped me alot, Since i do not do the AA meetings, this is the next best thing! I hope everyone has a great sober Christmas.

      Thanks so much for that post Oney.

      You are so right. I have been telling myself this year I'm going to ENJOY Christmas and remember it - and New Years as well! I can't wait for a sober Christmas, and you just reinforced my feelings!

      :thanks::h:l

            Wow! This just gave me hope!

            Was reciting any possible situation for the coming holiday and got really depressed thinking it was going to be hell - till this post.

            THANK YOU!!

                Love you Oney!! You always know the right thing to say at just the right time!

                My first sober christmas was last year and I too was very nervous and not at all looking forward to it. If I remember correctly, I never laughed so hard or enjoyed myself so much! I'll have to go grab the post I made in the daily abs the day after to see if my memory serves me right but i'm pretty sure it does!

                    Awesome story!! I have been drunk Santa many, many times and I can laugh at it now, but there are still alot of regrets. No more beer for Santa!! I love that line...and my memories of the frustration of hung over Dad trying to fix drunk Santas screwups from the night before are some true comedic pain.

                    Thanks again for the story and the reminder!!

                          Great post Oney-bint.

                          This is the part of your post that stood out most for me...

                          Let this Christmas be the best Christmas ever and one you remember forever.

                          I think the not remembering is the worst part. Every single family occasion is a memory in the making - special times like Christmas (for those who celebrate) and birthdays, anniversaries, graduations, etc., etc. Times when family and friends get together to celebrate. When you're pissed for most of the celebration, pictures of the occasion are your only memories because your mind was too pickled to register what was going on around you. How sad is that?

                          So I will echo what Oney said - may this be your best Christmas ever. One that you will remember forever.

                          A blessed Christmas to all of you who celebrate.
                          For every 60 seconds that you are angry, you lose a minute of happiness.
