A Wish: I Wish and Hope that you all have a happy and peaceful holiday season -with or without alcohol.
The majority of my Christmas eves and Christmas days were filled with alcohol -from the age 15 to 48. Those alcohol fueled days and nights ended about four years ago and I am grateful beyond any words that I could share.
Odds are, if you are still a heavy drinker today, you will drink tomorrow. This is ok -trust me. Please just do not hurt any other person in the process like I used to do. The hurt that I caused; I would just leave and go into private mode. No one would see or know where I was until later that evening. Alcoholism is such a VERY HARMFUL, SAD, and LONELY disease to the drinker and the family, and. it just does not HAVE to be this WAY.
Once the alcohol is finally removed from your life, your perspective on life changes. Myself, as a non-christian, I no longer judge or discriminate against those that are. I am now, alcohol free, able to see clearly that we all share different different beliefs and opinions and that is just the way that that it is supposed to be. How boring life would be if we were all the same -right?
On Christmas day, I do my very best to share in the love and companionship of my family and friends. I no longer am concerned with whether I am right or wrong; instead, I simply sit back and listen to others sharing their memories of yesteryear and I try to learn from those speaking.
I sincerely wish for Peace and Understanding that we all have available to each of us ---tonight and tomorrow ---and beyond. The freedom to live a happy life that is not full of fear is what Christmas represents to me.
Peace to YOU ALL,

I am asking, please, for others to share their holiday memories with or without alcohol. Thank you.
